I can still see Kane renewing. All about a game of chance and using his position as leverage v Levy.
The flirting with City 2 years back was a genuine move to leave. Pretty sure on that.
But the present position feels different. I go back to the messages both Harry and Ryan Mason were delivering in various interviews and pressers towards the end of the season, that felt they have co-ordinated together to push a narrative out there to drive Levy towards a change of approach, and recognise where things had to change around the club. Like two fellas that had spoken, and said here’s our chance to make a difference. Remember they are Spurs men.
All about leverage, Harry has a big hand to play versus Levy, especially with the abuse Levy was getting at the end of last season. Ryan and Harry could be being smart. They would have certainly chatted as friends and also as Spurs men to say, we’ve got an opportunity here to turn the screw, force that change. Go back to those two standing up to the the senior players in Poch early years. They’ve got it in their locker to make this play.
I also feel Harry since breaking the goal scoring record may have paused that little bit longer and recognised further the legacy and standing he has created for himself at the club, his one club - now any move away could threaten that legacy, even taint it rather the break it and while he’s a driven guy I’d also wager with his family man and mature traits he’ll want to protect that legacy. It won’t go unrecognised by him and also those close around him. He’s not daft. I also think he may feel a sense of responsibility to help steer the club into the future.
Call me naive, Spurs blinkered, a football romantic but I think this whole dance with BM and the game of chance Harry is creating with the “will he won’t he” could be designed to force Levy to change the attitude, be ambitious but at the same time do create an out should he think Levy isn’t for changing - and at least for Daniel to turn it up a few notches to compete. Levy can be the hero here, or it could be the last straw for him with the fans. Harry almost controls his destiny.
Add to this how I’d think Ange and this front foot style and the breath of fresh air that is running around the club is always going to appeal to Kane. Is that already partly down to Harry and Ryan’s plan?
Listen I’m banking on a lot here and putting all my thoughts towards how and why this can play out positively. But am hopeful that Harry is of the wider mindset the media and even ourselves lead us to believe.
