Harry Kane

[Col_M]

His autobiography, just covering transfer sagas , is gonna be in volumes isnt it.

I wonder how many people predicted we'd be 3516 pages into a transfer debate about this kid when he missed that penalty against Hearts

I've always wondered what the contours of the "verbal agreement" were between Kane and Bayern that set this all in motion. Clearly there was some understanding. But was it as simple as "Yeah, no, obviously I'll play for you"? Or were there actual terms, like years, wages, and release clauses? I could see Kane and BM leaving it open, but Kane now balking at the idea of committing to 5 years in the Bundesliga. I also thought early on that given Kane's evident fandom of Tom Brady, he would take a cue from Brady and other American sport stars like Lebron James, who signed 1-2 year contracts during the latter half of their careers. With their fortunes already made, that gave them the most control over what they really wanted, a place on a competive squad.

It could have been "yes I will go if you meet the value", but if he said that when his wife was 6 mo pregnant and she's 8 mo now things change.

Even Betfair have given up twice today. They've got a dedicated employee following our ITK...........he just went off with work induced stress

 

[JW72]

Sky breaking an update to news that it's increasingly likely Kane will stay.

Desperately trying to salvage viewing figures for Sunday's game?

 

[synththfc]

If he stays without signing some sort of extension, then he is in essence intentionally fucking the club over.

It's from a Bayern source I wouldn't take too much notice.
That said I'm not sure Loyalty bonus is something Levy can say no to if Kane hasn't officially requested a transfer. I am happy to be corrected.

Putting on my lawyer hat - you can always say No - whether it holds up may have to be litigated later.

But, Levy's argument - if it ever came to that - Kane's conversation with Bayern and Tuchel in the summer constituted a breach, such that it was tantamount to a transfer request. Not sure how that holds up - but, I would argue it with a straight face.

 

[mattstev2000]

Couldn't agree more. So many posters have no idea how good the players we are being linked to are but still think it's right to move him on for those players. Utter madness imo.

But that's going to happen anyway. Just in a years time with £100m less going into our coffers.

You don't need to be ITK to know why. I love Spurs to the core but if I were Kane I wouldn't be signing a deal until I was sure I knew the direction the club were going and that Ange was the real deal. Absolutely no chance whatsoever.

Just watch the narrative spin to how he's disrupting our season if thing's start to go badly and people will turn on him.

Weird phrasing - "Disagreement between Kane and Tottenham"

I wonder if Kane asked for his loyalty bonus, and Levy said no. Otherwise - I am not sure what Kane and Tottenham have to agree to about Kane going to Bayern.

It’s a German translating into English. Don’t overthink it mate

 

[Now it's Spursonal]

This is from Prof on COYS regarding the two contracts that were offered to him. I don’t think this is new info so it’s just adding to the current picture really:

I’ve shared what I’m allowed to share. He rejected the two different types of offer we put in front of him. The details are in a post I made earlier this week. I don’t know specifically why he said no. That would be interesting info. I’m hoping to be able to say more later, but that’s not my decision to make. We’ll see.

I imagine it would be due to him wanting to have complete control of his future and leave on a free next year.

 

[gio747]

I wonder could we now see bids come on from Utd or Chelsea.
Levy now has his excuse

 

[dricha1]

I said as much earlier and received only disagrees for it.

I'll repeat it, the club(Levy) are definitely in the process of trying to convince Kane to go.
Levy wouldn't have accepted the fee if this wasn't the case.

Not necessarily selling but selling or extending. That’s what I thinks going on. Levy just can’t stomach Kane leaving for free next year and to be honest I don’t blame him.

surely a new deal with a sliding scale of min selling fee based on years left of Contract and with Kane being allowed to invoke it should we not progress on the pitch is the way out of this for everyone ?

 

[Bluto Blutarsky]

If he stays without signing some sort of extension, then he is in essence intentionally fucking the club over.

NO. 1000 times no.

If Kane stays, he will put in his best efforts on the pitch. That is what the club needs.

If Kane leaves next summer on a free - then Kane will have fulfilled his contractual obligations to the club, and the club will have fulfilled its contactual obligations to Kane.

No he doesn't.

 

[Mycroft Jones]

No, he's fulfilling the terms of a contract that he and the club entered into.

 

[olliec]

What if, and I wouldn’t be surprised by this. Kane wants to stay but levy wants him to leave and take the £. If word got out, I couldn’t imagine the meltdown.

 

[Bobby TwoShots]

Think it's more he's seeing how Ange pans out and if Levy will show some ambition.

Never heard of it but willing to give it a go after the last bastard migraine lasted 3 days

We've been repeatedly fed the line that Harry dearly wants to stay with the club he loves but that he just needs to see the club moving in the right direction, to see if it's ambition matches his etc etc etc and then he's open to signing a new contract.

A year ago, Spurs were coming off the back of a brilliantly exciting end to the previous season, having got themselves CL qualification. Son had a Golden Boot and Conte seemed liked his was doing what Conte does(did) and the stadium was full of fans singing Antonio, the vibes were great and players were happy. We signed Bissouma and Richarlison early on that summer. Things looked good......and yet Harry did not sign a new contract.

It absolutely has not been great since Poch left but there was more than enough at the end of the previous season to make Harry want to extend his contract if Harry really did want to extend his stay with us, and he didn't (it didn't have to be a new 5 year deal, an extra year or two with a set buy out clause etc etc could have been thrashed out). That says to me his endgame has always been to run down his contract.

IMO he needs to sign a contract extension now or he needs to go to the football club that he's actively encouraged to court his services all summer.

Staying, for whatever reason that might be given, but not signing a contract extension, would be piss poor after all the City stuff 2 years ago and now this circus with Bayern.
