Harry Kane

[Stamford]

I hope this doesn't come across badly but people seem to be quite naive. I was like this during the Bale summer but this feels nailed on to me

 

[TheWook]

It says beyond the paywall that he "has no intention" of signing a new deal. That would be new. I know people have been of that view, but to have it stated by journalists would be new no?

Who is the author of the article?

edit: I've seen Gary Jacobs now thanks

 

[SpartanSpur]

Sorry - maybe I am being dense here - but I don't see anything new in that article.

I don't think it is an indication that Kane will never sign another deal with Spurs - just that he won't do it now - which is what I thought we already knew.

Multiple journalists, including Ornstein, Law and Gold all said he was considering all options, including him possibly signing a new deal, just not while the window is still open.

This is now saying emphatically he won't extend full stop.

Optimistic hope is that this is Charlie going to the media. Realistic is probably that the Kane deal has effectively been agreed for some time and it's all a PR campaign from all parties. Just look at all the replies saying we should cash in now.

I was in two minds before but to me this is clearly a shift in the narrative - not to say others are being naive but perhaps than people had cottoned on earlier than me. But now I feel it has become very likely he will go this summer.

I think that it has been clear that Kane was never going to sign a new contract after the Man City debacle. Pains me to say it but now is the time for him to go. We can’t have a whole season knowing he leaves on a free at the end of it plus the constant rumours of who he will sign for. Thanks for everything Harry but goodbye.

"Harry Kane will not sign a new contract at Tottenham Hotspur and would be keen to move to Bayern Munich if a deal can be agreed."


Sorry - I just don't read that as "emphatic" nor "full stop"

I would expect something else along the lines of "Kane will leave on a free next summer, if no transfer can be arranged by September" - if this was really the point of no return.

 

[Stamford]

It's also not fair on Ange to have this hanging over him for year. He'll be able to sign a pre contract in jan

 

[mil1lion]

I just see it as he has no intention to sign a new contract now but there's no surprise there. Anything can happen in the next 12 months. I can't see him being completely closed to the idea. I do however think we would need to have a great season, maybe even win a trophy (not the Juan Gampa ) and even then possibly get a takeover/investment for next summer. I'm still surprised he would go to Bayern but maybe we're being too critical. It could be that he will only go abroad as not to harm his legacy here after the reaction to his attempted move to City. Although he will have his pick next year on a free so should be no rush. Unless he's just really convinced by Tuchel.

 

[Lancaster Spur]

Optimistic hope is that this is Charlie going to the media.

I think that's the most likely occurrence. I doubt Kane is giving media interviews from his hotel room so is probably coming from Charlie.

 

[Bluto Blutarsky]

Again - I have been an advocate of selling him now - but I don't see any change in stance or narrative based on one line in an article - with no quotes from Harry, Charlie, his dad, or even the Germans.

 

[Dunc2610]

Unless Harry comes out and says it and it can be quoted, I'm sitting on the fence. How these journo's can be SO sure, I don't know?

 

[spursfan77]

Paywall - but the opening lines don't sound like anything new here.

First time we’ve heard he has no intention of staying, as the last sentence states. Despite lots of us suspecting it.

 

[chelmyid]

Interesting change of tune here. Previously top journos like Ornstein were saying he's keeping his options open.

Starting to suspect that this has all been agreed some time ago and has been a long drawn out PR game.

Personally I'd still keep him and hope we make enough progress this season to get him considering a new deal. Which is possible if you at least make Chelsea and Utd look like sideways steps. I'd rather take the gamble personally. If there was some unreal attacking talent out there (Thinking in the Salah or Hazard moulds) to bring in with the money then maybe, but there doesn't seem to be many on the market.

Said a few days - this in my opinion is all PR now to save the club and secondly Kane as much face as possible. Levy and the board will not risk the circa £100m this summer on a maybe.
I’m still convinced he’s gone this summer

 

[Bluto Blutarsky]

First time we’ve heard he has no intention of staying, as the last sentence states. Despite lots of us suspecting it.

The article - which I quoted from above - does not really go that far.

It says Kane will not sign a new deal - but gives no timeframes. It could be he will never sign a new deal, or it could mean he won't sign a new deal right now. Its simply not clear enough to draw any definitive conclusions.

 

[Darth Vega]

Whichever way this lands it has to be sorted as quickly as possible. We need to avoid a Berbatov ---> Pavlyuchenko scenario at all costs even if it means we get less money. Sell him, buy a replacement and allow them to integrate as quickly as possible, start the season and a new era without any dark clouds hanging over ours, the manager's, or the player's heads.

 

[robotsonic]

They can keep pumping the gas on this as much as they like, but it still doesn't have vibes that he's actually going to end up playing in Munich this season (or any other).

It felt like the City move was going to happen. It felt like Bale to Madrid was going to happen. This situation doesn't feel inevitable at all.

Still think he'll be here this season and will do what he will at the end of it, as much because that's what makes the most sense for his future's sake. Going to Bayern now would be stupid when he can demand the earth next year, and I don't see how that's not the best decision for him to make.

 

[Guntz]

Think some of you are being naive.

He wants out, time to sell and give Ange the funds to rebuild.

He will just walk for free to City or Utd next year anyway. That’s why Bayern are pushing hard this summer, as they know one of the big English sides will get him next year.

 

[yido_number1]

Good points, I'm probably being too universal in my thinking, it would apply to a lot of players

People like Kane and Beckham are outliers.

Thnik I'm just a bit pissed that he is going to leave

This whole thing is pure emotion for all of us. We all love him and are sad that he needs to leave us to achieve what he wants.

None of us want to hate him and I think we all know he's gonna go to someone we hate and it will hurt his Stella legacy with us.

Can only hope he doesn't go this window and Ange performs the miracle of getting us to win something

 

[cjbyid]

He can leave all he wants but Bayern need to cough up the dolla we want.

Tell me, how do you KNOW he wants out? I don't get how people can be so certain?
