Harry Kane

[Flobadob]

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

God I hope this is true. Even if he leaves on a free next year if we get back into Europa or even the CL we can replace him from a position of strength. Right now “project Kane” sounds like project buy mid-table level players to me!

Look if someone wants to bandy about 86m quid I'm more than happy to personally take it if it stops poor old Bayern being puzzled

 

[Now it's Spursonal]

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.

 

[Tucker]

I'll be honest in that Even if Levy were to say this, I don't think Ange accepts it one bit. I think it's all just a bit frustrating for DL because there will have been an awful lot of time and effort put into this, but he doesn't have any power really imo. Yes he could declare that he doesn't play but he's the England captain and arguably our greatest ever player . The fans wouldn't accept it, the media wouldn't accept it, ane the rest of the team wouldn't accept it. It just wouldn't happen.

Would be cutting your nose off to spite your face. He didn’t do this with Eriksen either, so I don’t think he’d do it with Kane.

 

[St José Dominguez]

Levy will be demanding Kane signs a new deal if he scuppers us getting £95m. He’s got no way to force him though which may cause Levy to implode and thusly I get to experience the best transfer window ever.

 

[yankspurs]

I mean there is something the club can do, and that's not play him. It's beyond unlikely, like beyond anything extremely remote. But that is an option.

That kind of seems like a sure fire way for there to be an all out revolt against Levy from all sides. So honestly, I'm for it.

Also Tuchel position at Bayern doesn‘t look 100% stable at the moment…

And they have more holes in their squad than we do.

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.

I’d guess this guy is just inventing a scenario as a result of him not being able to understand why Kane would chang his mind at the last minute and concluding that Levy will be annoyed.

Had we gone and spent as a result of what we thought was a done deal then he might have a point but at best I’d think Levy is probably just a little bemused.

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.

 

[Tucker]

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 think they are now but largely because we've gone this far.

If Kane hadn't pushed Levy for a move and asked us to broker a deal I don't think we would be here.

 

[FloridaSpur]

Sign a new contract or transfer out.
Don't drag our season down.

I think this is it for him, Levy and the club.

The transfer fee will never be enough to replace Kane, but it will be enough to replace our defensive weaknesses, and strengthen in other areas.

We have goals in this squad under Ange's tactics, he just needs time to ingrain it into the players.

 

[RuskyM]

It's a waste of time because if Harry was never completely sure he wanted to go there he could've said so a lot earlier.

Usually when a player wants to move to a super club it's either YES or NO and then it's up to the clubs to negotiate a fee. The player doesn't usually set personal deadlines or get cold feet - if a player really wants to go to a club they are willing to take things down to the last minute of the window to get their move like literally every other big player we've ever sold.

If Harry was ever wavering he (or Charlie) shouldn't have told Bayern he was 100% willing to go there.

I don't think he really thought Levy would accept a bid. He didn't two years ago, so it was all theoretical. It has now become very real.

 

[Scissors&Tape]

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.

I fear for Florian if this doesn't happen.

I don't the big foreheaded begging nonce

I imagine those 'two types of deal' were:

1) Not enough
2) Lower than that

Fair play, that reads like a transcript.

Yeah could be. But then he's still making everyone do a merry dance for no reason.

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.

 

[Bluto Blutarsky]

I imagine those 'two types of deal' were:

I think he posted a couple of options - short term, and long-term.
