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.
