Harry Kane | Bayern Munich player

Kane wants to leave though. That’s the big difference

We don't know that for sure though do we? Like there's been no official quotes or anything about saying he wants to go somewhere else. I feel like it's something he could easily force but doesn't seem to want to

Yeah doesn't have same feel as City thing,journos talked about that potential move with a lot more buoyancy of it happening
 
That's fine.

A shame, because he would have been perfect, but I'd rather us come to this realization early than piss about all summer chasing something that's not going to come off and end up with nothing because there's no time left.

See you next July Daniel when we'll take him for free, wanker.

Kane is at his dream club and would be taking a risk going to Utd as they are unlikely to win much with City in the league. Id say the situation mirrors it quite well.

So you're telling me he doesn't have enough confidence in himself to believe that it would be a different story with him upfront ?
 
So if given a choice between (can't see it happening myself though)

Hojlund AND Kolo-Muani this summer but no Kane next summer even if he's available

Hojlund and cheap experienced striker this summer who will replaced next summer by Kane

The reports around Kane already seem to be accurate. He certainly has his friends in the media

Most unsurprising exclusive ever. Does feel as though Kane is setting this up to put max pressure on Levy to sell to us this summer.

He doesn't need to apply any pressure. The biggest pressure point for Levy is that he has only one year left and it looks like Levy would rather lose him for free.
 
Feck Levy, take Kane on a free next year and let Levy miss out on serious £s. If he'd rather penalise the new manager, who will clearly want to rebuild Spurs, by not selling for a reasonable fee for the sake of 'not selling to United', let them be! It will hurt them more in the long run to keep Kane rather than cash in now so feck them, lets go elsewhere.

There’s no chance Levy will risk losing him for free. As long as Kane makes absolutely clear he isn’t signing a new contract and he isn’t moving abroad (no doubt Levy’s preferred option), he will have to sell this summer.
 
I think this is dead in the water unless Kane starts seriously agitating for the move relatively soon.

Otherwise, it will be Madrid 2023 or United 2024, I'm sure of it.
 
Kane‘s going to have to stomp his feet pretty hard if he wants to join us. Levy would personally see his new stadium burn to ashes before selling to us.

His situation is fecked however... Cash in now and look weak a la Berbatov or let him go for free and look stupid a la Campbell. The thing with keeping him for his last year as well is whether he’s going to be sufficiently motivated and not just clock watching (especially towards the latter end of the season). He isn’t risking serious injury to jeopardise a big move somewhere and I wouldn’t be at all surprised if there is some bad blood between Kane and Levy.

Kane and his brother agent should have got assurances down in writing when that City saga happened. Someone giving you their word they’ll do something for you isn’t enough in this line of business. People can and will renege and they will paint you as the bastard in those situations.
 
One day he is off to Madrid, next day he prefers United …
If Levy wants to invest the money he will get from Kane‘s sale, he would need to sell him early.
But Levy’s ego is bigger than his desire to do the best for Spurs. The Spurs squad is washed up, needs something new, a new manager won’t be enough, Kane needs something new, but hey, Kane will also get enough great offers next year whereas Spurs will turn from bad to worse.
 
If Kane doesn't push for a move, forget his talent, it's his mentality that'll be in question

I disagree.

They've just got a new manager whose playstyle is completely unsuited to their current squad, which is already very weak anyways. Selling Kane for 100m now would not only provide some funds for their much needed rebuild, but also a great excuse for Levy and the club as to why fans shouldn't expect results for next 2 years at least: New manager, new ideas, weak squad, best player leaving.

However, if he loses him for free to a PL club next summer, whilst Spurs don't win a trophy or make top 4 again (both are highly likely scenarios), then it will be a way worse situation for Levy.
 
I'd be happy to sign him for a decent fee. Wouldn't be too disappointed to not get him.

Good news if we're making a decision early either way.
 
We need to give Kane and Levy a deadline so we can crack on with other targets if they’re being stubborn.

Knowing Kane, he’ll probably end up signing a five year contract and the naming rights to his newborn son, Daniel Levy Kane II.
 
Can't spend the summer chasing him and we can't go another season without a proper striker either.
I doubt he'll move outside England as he wants to beat Shearer's record. If he leaves Spurs, I think it will be on a free transfer next summer.
 
He pushed pretty hard last summer (or the summer before was it!?) to join City and got nowhere. Levy won't be beaten
 
I see it often and past transactions may give credit to it but why people think that Levy is personally invested in not selling players to United?

I dont think it's the fractured relationship he has with us, that's probably mended over time.

But I think he certainly views us as a top 4 rival, and reckon that's the big driver.

See's us as a rival, will probably see it as a personal failure if Harry Kane plays against them twice a year

His dream club? reaaaaally? A club where he's never going to win anything, waste his entire career in comparison with his potential. A club with no direction, changes manager every season, buys scraps from the Italian league and has gone backwards since Poch? The same club where he downed tools at the sniff of signing for City and actually winning things?

That's no one's dream club, despite what lip service might pay the fans.

Good points, I thought about the rivalry for top 4 but at the same time, they don't really feel like rivals. Also it started before their good runs, I seem to remember that it was a point made during the Modric transfer attempts and United were lightyears above them.

I only feel like it's going to be different with Kane because whilst the likes of Modric and Berbatov were great players, Kane is Spurs through and through and Levy is under enough scrutiny as it is, can you imagine what the fanbase will do to him if he sells homeboy Kane to United just when Spurs need him most? I understand it's a little bit more tricky because he could go for a free next year, but honestly if he wants to sell him this year i've no doubt he would sell to Real for a smaller fee before he would even entertain selling to us for a bigger fee

Yeah convinced the only way he leaves this year is to Madrid on a cheaper fee,have yet to see some proper evidence he would actively agitate to join us instead

While I think they know they're not top 4 rivals to us, why put us further away from them by giving us their best player? That's my opinion on it anyway. In general, teams in the prem don't like trading with each other, unless inordinate sums, for that reason.

Yeah it is his dream club because it's his club and he and his entire family are Spurs fans. Why else is he still there?

I agree, but at the same time, it's kind of ridiculous for fans to feel that a player owes them their entire career and cannot, under any circumstances, sign for another English club. I fully understand not selling to a genuine enemy, like Arse or Chels, but United and Spurs don't have any serious beef. He's given them so many years and they are worse now than they were 10 years ago. Is this how football is now? If you end up playing for your boyhood club you can never be allowed to leave? It's sort of pathetic.

I mean I guess so, At the time i'd have absolutely detested the thought of Giggs, Beckham, Scholes etc playing for another English team and playing against us in the league. Like Beckham was my idol, I was a kid and I cried when he went to Real.

Alot of the fans would probably understand, at the same time the club is clearly at a tipping point here, they need a good summer and their star man up and leaving when he might be needed the most is something I'm sure won't sit right with a lot of people, this is something that might play into it. He or Levy might say give it a season to help get us back into Europe and then control his own destiny next season after giving that, that scenario wouldn't surprise me either.

Either way I hope we get a definitive answer sharpish and either pursue it or cut it off quickly and move elsewhere, we really don't need another FDJ saga holding us back again, on top of the non-takeover too
