This whole trophy thing is bullocks.
1 trophy at Spurs = 10 at City. look what it meant to Rice.
fans of other clubs keep banging on about trophies because they wanna see us implode. Every time we have something good they want it to end. They done it with Redknapp, modric, bale, berbatov etc.
Its all a facade because if Kane had won a trophy they'd say "hes only won a carling cup, or 1 fa cup etc"
I want the club to do everything they can to keep our GREATEST EVER PLAYER

I know many think that Levy won't ever change and I largely agree. But what we also know about him is that he does view things very differently to most people. Whether that is delusion, misplaced confidence, pure stupidity I don't know but it is possible that he really does believe that under this new regime and with the right investment in players, Kane will be persuaded.
Thinking about the numbers further, I can therefore see a scenario where we get to the end of the window, having rejected all offers and then Levy says rather than sitting on your existing salary for the next year whilst you see out your contract, here's a new 5 deal worth £400,000pw (£20m per year) plus a massive signing on fee (£20m+). How we have fared during pre-season and in the first three games, especially against Utd, could then be the deciding factor in how Kane responds to that.
Of course, the other view is that Kane has heard all about fresh starts before and simply can't be convinced in any circumstance.

Those 2 themselves no but think bigger picture in terms of the full rebuild and kanes current contract situation.

We've spent decent money in the past few windows. If we can get most of our targets this time around we'd have a pretty impressive squad. If we don't have big gaps to fill, I'd keep Kane, try to impress him with Postecoglou's brand of football and he might consider an extension. If he has a bumper season with our more attacking play that would be even better. If he definitely wants out next Summer, we should have a decent amount to spend with a balanced squad in place and no other urgent signings. I think it's a gamble worth taking.
Of course, the Press will portray it as HK being imprisoned by Levy but I couldn't give a fuck about that.

Fair mate entitled to your opinion.
Tbh I doubt Celtic would sell, poss one of Hatate,Jota and Kyogo but certainly not all 3.
The point is I think selling Kane to Bayern for £90m+ is good business and helps Ange’s rebuild. Ange has shown you don’t need to spend huge to get top top quality and also his tactics will make the sum our parts better and all players will improve.

We obviously need to back our manager and all, but regardless of what Ange wants there's just no way Levy will allow Kane to go below 90m in my opinion (and perhaps even 100m).
There are some things Levy simply won't compromise on for better of for worse and Kane's price will be one of them.

Yep fair points mate but it’s the situation we have got ourselves in with kane so Q is what can we do to make the most of the situation right now and I feel that £90m+ offer especially from a non PL team is the best way to go, then give that on top of a hopefully already fairly healthy budget and Ange could build an exciting new team.
It’s also good to not rely on Kane so much especially moving forwards.
We have a lot of players we need to sign so Kane money would help.
If we can keep him AND rebuild with our budget and then win a trophy and get him to sign a new deal obviously that is the dream scenario but I just don’t see that as being realistic unfortunately.

no way levy is offering that much to someone in their 30s, even kane, he's an accountant
I think he would as its a much better investment than trying to bring in a replacement who would want a bigger financial package (and a transfer fee would likely be involved) but be subject to the risk of not settling/performing.
And if he's not prepared to go to those amounts then this whole debate is academic. Kane will not stay for anything less.

If he gets us into the CL, it's worth a lot more than £80m
Even if he did offer that money (personally i doubt it), theres also no way kane is going to decide to sign based on preseason, training and 5 games of the season!

I tend to agree, I just think Levy won't be prepared to put an eye watering enough figure on the table, even for our greatest ever player, to make hime bite. He'll walk for free in 12 months I strongly suspect.
Well there wouldn't necessarily be a deadline to accepting the offer so yes, it can play out longer beyond the end of the window if Levy will really not sell this summer at all.
But I also don't agree that pre-season and the first month or so of games wouldn't be enough for Kane to see the impact of the new manager, see what players have come in and take a view on how things feel. And if he is minded to stay then the sooner he signs, the sooner his money is bumped up. And if it's at the levels i mentioned then it reduces the appeal of leaving on a free as we will have closed that financial gap to some extent.

He didn't dream about winning Bundesliga titles, zero chance he goes there in my opinion.
Even if they cough up enough cash to turn Levy's head, Kane is within his rights to "no thanks, I don't want to go there, I'll wait until next summer thank you".

A gentleman’s agreement?
Yes totally. But if Ange wants him to stay - he stays.

A gentleman’s agreement where he signs a contract would be preferable.
