Harry Kane

[wadewill]

Do you folks not think that Levy would be accepting bids if he believed he could t get Kane to sign a new deal?

What Levy seems to think and what is reality seem to be very different

Totally agree with your sentiment, but Kane holds every card here. For him to stay in England he knows he needs to run his contract down

I'm not putting them in the same boat at all but some of you have forgotten about that Man who did this before

 

[wadewill]

Just seen Simon Stone from the BBC is saying Bayern are set to make an improved bid. This along with supposedly agreeing personal terms is starting to make me have serious doubts about him staying

They must have had some encouragement to being doing that, if that do indeed raise their bid

The problem for them might be that the encouragement is coming from his gobeshite brother.

Charlie might well be a twat but he wouldn't be doing a very good job as an agent if he wasn't encouraging mega money bids from the European elite for his client.

I'm always surprised how much faith people on this site place on Levy's skills of negotiation. He's winging it, figuring that Kane for one year MIGHT be worth £85m and that Kane MIGHT sign a new contract if things are going well. There's no way Kane's signing a new deal. And I don't blame him.

 

[Tarricko]

I still cant see this happening. Lots of really conflicting info that suggests strongly either way. I just can't see him living in Germany.

I'd be gutted but this move would be best all round if it has to happen. Seeing him at Utd would trigger my childhood Sheringham memories.

He is a twat to the point Gareth Southgate told Harry to get other representation when the whole Man City debacle happened before and I should imagine others probably suggested the same. But, as we know Harold is loyal, he's been loyal to us, and as its his brother he'll be loyal to him too (sadly).

 

[panoma]

I would be surprised if Harry had the slightest of interest in going to Bayern.

He has a (great) chance at making PL history. Like proper history book stuff. The kind of history we'd tell our grandkids about in 30 years.

There's just no way he swap that for a german trophy or two. He either signs a new deal with us or go on a free next year to ManU or City (if Haaland leaves for Real) imo.

Better to trigger my childhood Klinsmann memories instead

I'm really grateful for what Kane has given this club. He has raised our profile and IMO this will help attract other players. We are going to go through a rebuild and I don't see the instant success Kane deserves. Yes, of course I want him to stay but we should really let Kane decide and if the team wanting him, really do want him, they will pay the fee. I don't want Levy pricing him out of a transfer either.

Fingers crossed he stays but I will respect his decision to leave if he chooses.

 

[StanSpur]

I said 2 or 3 years ago that i can see him playing for Bayern as Lewa was winding down his contract and i always thought he would be an ideal replacement for him there. I think now however that he is close to the prem record and his preference would be to a uk club or, madrid for the glory. If Madrid are not coming then i think he will hold out for a final season at spurs and then join utd or chelsea for a couple of seasons fighting for cups. Realistically there are no guarantees and he may hope that Haaland moves to Madrid next summer and he can jump in there, but that may not happen. If he is happy to give germany a go can we do a deal where we get first refusal on a buy back on a depreciating value year on year. that way he can do 3 years, win 3 titles a couple of cups and have 3 genuine shots at the CL and then come home to get his 50 goals and immortality at Spurs.

i.e. sell for 80m now with buy backs of 100m summer 2024, 80m 2025, 50m 2026, 20m 2027

The man who did this before prompted another man to say he’d never let that happen again.

We’ll soon see

Exactly this, have to show there's interest out there.. even if it's not wanted or not an option. It put the ball in Harry's court to say - this is what the market values me at. Match/beat it or I'm off (if he is minded to stay).

Well, they were never going to fuck off after one low ball bid, so it’s not exactly news from him. They’ll come back with another but it’s not going to be £40 million higher to get us to the table (even if we want to come to it of course).

People need to get their head around the fact he is going to be leaving either this summer or next. Does it not make sense to get a decent fee in so we can replace him properly? Put differently, if we were to offer £80m - £100m to loan a world class striker for a year would that be good value? It will be shit when he goes, but it is happening sooner or later, and when it does the rebuild will truly be underway as we will no longer be a team almost entirely built around one or two players.

We'd need £200m+ to replace him properly. Because his direct replacement (i.e. a ST with 30+ goals per season output that can play in the PL) would cost north of £100m. At that point you're only replacing his goal output and not some his other build up play and you lose the connection he has with Sonny, which IMO makes Sonny fairly redundant for us.

So to ensure we replace him with sufficient goals and creativity in the team I think we'd need to sign:

New £100m+ ST AND New £80-100m LW.

Even then you're betting on both the players coming up being a success, which is unlikely.

Personally, given the transition year we're facing, I can't see why keeping Kane isn't he best option, even if it means losing him on a free. He will be playing his socks off to maximise his free move and we could end up getting one of his best ever seasons from him, which allows the new players and staff to bed in and gives us really only one major challenge for next summer - finding his replacement.

Charlie might well be a twat but he wouldn't be doing a very good job as an agent if he wasn't encouraging mega money bids from the European elite for his client.

Of course the likelihood that he will personally benefit with a huge payday won’t be driving this at all?!

‘Childhood Sheringham memories’…?

Well that makes me feel just great…

As much as I get what he's saying, if there is any truth in BM putting in two offers for Kane (which might all be nonsense) Its a pretty good bet Kane is open to the to the idea. A team like BM isn't going to be waisting time on a player who doesn't want to go to them.

Absolutely! Naive to think otherwise.
