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.

Love this.
No doubt some will scorn this point of view, and roll out the same tropes about money, trophies etc
But I agree with you. Kane staying and renewing is still the most likely outcome in my view, for multiple reasons:
- he can get a huge new contract to see out the rest of his peak years and beyond. He can get that at Spurs.
- Very few clubs would offer more money, and of those some are not good options for him. Even if his contact expires, Spurs would match most clubs on the offer.
- While they are all ultimately professionals, not fans, it would run against so much of what we all know about Kane for him to go to Chelsea or Arsenal.
- The likes of Man City etc may decide that a 30 year old Kane isn't what they want, even with no transfer fee. As good as he is. City and any other clubs who might offer more money are the very same clubs who could go out and buy someone like Osimhen at 5 years younger.
- Finally, Levy and ENIC's reputation has rarely been lower. Levy really can't afford the PR disaster of losing Kane. He will pull out all the stops and offer an unprecedented huge new deal to Kane.

We should offer Kane an infinite contract on say 1bn a month. Re name the Club to just “Kane FC”. When it looks likely he’s about to beat “Shearers record” then we should play the upcoming fixtures on the moon. Harry will be the 1st player to score on another planet.

Sorry to be pedantic, but the moon isn’t a planet

It does sound reasonable? Right ?
Alternatively we could “sell” Kane to another club but it’s actually not Kane. It’s some other No mark in a Mission Impossible type mask / voice box scenario. He joins the new club but turns out he’s shit. We don’t care cos we signed a guy called Larry Pane to replace him who turns out is quite spiffing
(Larry is Harry btw)If you actually look at the clubs who could realistically afford him him I think there is a good chance if we get through this window he could sign a new deal.
Italy can anyone actually afford him? Probably not.
Spain, Mbappe is going to Real Madrid either this year or next so would they want him?, Barcelona are simply skint.
You then have Bayern and PSG where he will win the league title for the trillionth time in a row but realistically isn’t going to win the champions league and in turn lose any chance of beating Shearers premier league and overall top flight records, football didn’t begin in 1992
So in England you have Man City, are they going to want him with Haaland and Alavarez, in all probability no, then there is Man Utd, is he going to win the league in the next 3/4 years there? Chelsea on a free and he enters Judas country, is he going to want to do that?, then at a push your left with maybe Liverpool and Newcastle.

I agree with a lot of that - in that he could well be here at the end of the window.
But it’s a total roll of the dice as to whether he would sign a new contract. Risky

Problem is, I think teams will pay him a fortune if there’s no transfer fee involved.

No transfer fee, they could simply through him a £50m signing on fee and £400k a week. That would still be a bargain for 4-5 years of Kane.

Yes, but so could we. Money isn't going to be the issue this time.

But we can’t offer him any real guarantee of silverware.

Not so sure about that. Haaland is on something like £400k a week.
We might match it, but I’m not certain we will.

Utd were crap for ages until Ten Hag got them firing in the second half of last season. That's what a good manager who's in tune with the club can do. There's every chance Ange could do the same here. We've been hamstrung with defensive managers playing atrocious football for too long.

I think he means the money won’t be the determining factor in Kane’s decision making process.
No matter what we offer him as an individual what he really wants is confirmation of ambition and to be part of a team that can achieve tangible success.
