Harry Kane

[Trix]

Still unsure how this one plays out. I'm now back at 50/50.

 

[therealGlenn]

so they have set a deadline for midnight to accept the offer they have until midnight to make

 

[Tonio]

Haha Bayern have set a deadline you heard it here first they ain’t set no deadline we have .

It’s designed to look like Levy has caved in rather than the opposite way round.

 

[What Lies Beneath]

So if they call at midnight then Levy's line will be dead

No we set a deadline on what we want . Price goes up like I said

 

[SpartanSpur]

So spurs do hold the cards at the present time?

Yeah in terms of Kane's movement this summer it is us (Spurs) with the final say. Obviously there are positives and negatives to each potential outcome.

Harry is the one who should have the most relaxed position of all parties, there's no real downsides for him. Spurs and Bayern have more to lose.

This guy is at it again




but when someone says “so you know something” he responds with “an opinion”

Yet another attention seeker by the looks of things. Who’d have thought it!

 

[delawarespur]

Still unsure how this one plays out. I'm now back at 50/50.

I’m at the point where I see plenty of positives whether he stays or goes. The one thing that won’t be positive is if this drags on too much longer. Just get it over with one way or the other.

 

[yellowbean]

If we did set a Friday deadline and this is their response it is a bit like shouting "you can't fire me, I Quit!"

In reality Kane talk will probably linger like a black cloud until Bayern acquire a no.9 but i hold hope that reports of a deadline are accurate so we can salvage some prep/recruitment time.

Bayern Munich in final bid to land Harry Kane

Exclusive: If a deal is not agreed then striker is expected to see out final year of his contract at Spurs and leave for free next summer

Daniel Levy must make Harry Kane decision by midnight as Bayern Munich set transfer deadline​

Exclusive: If a deal is not agreed then striker is expected to see out final year of his contract at Spurs and leave for free next summer

Bayern Munich are understood to have set a deadline of midnight on Friday for Tottenham Hotspur to accept their latest offer for Harry Kane.

The German giants are considering turning to other transfer targets if Tottenham do not finally agree a deal.

All parties – including the player – want Kane’s future resolved as soon as possible and certainly before Spurs’ first Premier League game of the season next Sunday away to Brentford.

If a deal is not agreed to sell Kane to Bayern, the striker is expected to see out the final year of his contract at Spurs and leave for free next summer.

There have been no indications that Kane, who turned 30 last week, wants to extend his stay at Spurs any longer despite the club’s attempts to get him to sign a new deal.

The England captain has been the No.1 target of Thomas Tuchel all summer but the Bayern coach will accept defeat and move on to trying to sign other players if there is no agreement in the coming hours.

In saying that, there remains cautious confidence a deal can still be struck and the clubs are moving towards an agreement with Bayern prepared to pay a club record fee for Kane. That record currently stands at €80 million (£68 million) paid for centre-back Lucas Hernandez four years ago.

It is expected that Bayern will have to offer around €100 million (£86.1million) if not higher, with add-ons, to persuade Spurs to sell Kane who, they believe, is keen to make the move.

There is understood to have been a difference of around £20 million in what Bayern were prepared to offer and what Spurs would accept when face-to-face talks were held on Monday.

Negotiations took place in London between Spurs chairman Daniel Levy and Bayern’s chief executive Jan-Christian Dreesen and technical director Marco Neppe.

The talks ended in deadlock but Bayern were heartened by the fact Levy was at least willing to meet them and discuss Kane’s future.

It does remain to be seen, however, how Levy will react to being set what appears to be a deadline. Bayern want to receive encouragement or will withdraw their offer.

Tuchel wants Kane in his squad before Bayern play the DFL-Supercup against RB Leipzig next Saturday. Their first Bundlesiga game takes place the following Friday.

Despite closing in on Alan Shearer’s Premier League goals record – he is 48 goals short of surpassing that total of 260 – Kane is willing to move overseas in pursuit of silverware.

Tuchel is thought to have told him they can win the Champions League together while Kane could still eventually return to England and break Shearer’s record.

Having sold former Liverpool forward Sadio Mane to Saudi Arabian club Al-Nassr for £24 million, Bayern’s funds to pay for Kane have been boosted. But if they do not agree a deal with Spurs they must quickly look at alternatives targets and so have set an unofficial deadline.

Either way it appears another Kane transfer saga, having tried to leave for Manchester City two years ago, is quickly reaching its endgame.

If Bayern do not sign Kane this month it would be possible for them to agree a pre-contract with him in the January window ahead of a free transfer in the summer.

However, Kane may want to wait and evaluate his options if he becomes a free agent. It would, for a start, make it easier for him to stay in the Premier League. Manchester United, for example, are huge admirers of Kane but decided against bidding during this window as they did not receive encouragement that a deal could be agreed.

The arrogance is commendable

In reality Kane holds all of the cards, neither Spurs nor Bayern do.

In real reality -all three parties hold some cards.

Spurs - don't have to sell Kane to anyone, at any price.

Bayern - don't have to buy Kane

Kane - does not have to leave Spurs.


There can only be a deal when Spurs want to sell Kane at a price that Bayern are willing to pay, and when Bayern offer a contract that Kane is willing to accept.

in ultra real reality
Bayern - DO want to buy Kane
Kane - Will/Wants to go
therefore Spurs have all the cards

 

[sidford]

Jan is worth a follow. He does get some info but doesn't overplay it like some and generally his opinions on moves etc are worth a read

And Spurs also want to sell - at the right price.

Bayern are only willing buyers - at the right price.

And Kane wants to go - at the right price.

All 3 parties will have to give up a little bit of what they want to make the deal happen.

 

[Young Nasty Man]

Levy’s apparent conviction that this seasons improvement will convince Kane to sign is really something

 

[brisbanespur]

All of this midnight deadlines , reminds me Neville Chamberlain and his letter

That went well.

 

[LukaKranjcar]

For a club of their size and stature in the game, Bayern Munich and everyone connected to them have behaved dreadfully. Like a spoilt child.

Yeah we're just going to roll over and sell our greatest ever player, one of our own and England Captain, for a derisory fee, to a club with huge financial power and no reason to underpay? Fuck off.

If you want Harry Kane, pay our actually quite reasonable fee and reap the benefits of having him.

 

[hutchiniho]

My bookmark is in at 1pm Sunday. Not being in the side for the only home preseason would be very telling.

I do hope he starts either way though.

After midnight
We're gonna let it all hang out
After midnight
We're gonna chug-a-lug and shout
We're gonna 'cause talk and suspicion
Give an exhibition
