Aww shucks. What about a good old fashioned gentleman’s wink wink agreement. Wink.
Plane flight while being at least £20m short. Pathetic tyre kickers.
I wouldn’t go anywhere near signing for Spurs if I were a PL footballer.
Levy is almost coming across as deranged in his bitterness with Kane.
The guy has given you his best years, you can’t offer CL football, let alone trophies, and you’re being offered 80-90m for him with 1 year on his contract…
Kane should leave for free at the season’s end and go WHEREVER he chooses, Arsenal / Chelsea included.
Levy’s lost it.

Kane is also not going back to Spurs if he gets out of there, other than for a retirement season right at the end of his career. It matters not if Bayern agree to let Spurs have first option. Levy (assuming it’s him who’s pulling the strings) really seems to have no clue.
Signing for us in January would be amazing, yes Bayern are a big club but really, the bundesliga....
£25m apart! How much are they offering?
Just move on, Bayern! He’s not for you!
Supposedly £75m.
Yeah. The guy has given years of service why not let him go for a fair price? Almost too cut throat when you're talking about a player who's given you years he didn't have to.
The issue is that a fair price is whatever Levy has in his head and not necessarily what’s on the table. I mean, I kind of do get it, £75MM got you a promising young striker nowadays, so Levy holds out for a reason.
This will drag on until near the end of the window and Levy will have to fold. He holds no cards as he will leave for free otherwise and the owner does not want that to happen.
That meeting sounds like a right laugh. All day talking about the details other than the somewhat minor issue of Bayern being 25 million short of Spurs minimum asking price. Absolute muppets 
You can see Levys point though somewhat, when clubs are spending upwards of 60 million for strikers with potential, accepting 75/80 million for Kane would be like a slap in the face.
Im still hoping they cant agree (25million is a pretty big gap) and he signs for us on a free next summer.
Can see Levy being pressured in to accepting 85/90 million though from the Spurs owner.

Besides, there are not many takers at reported wage demands, even if the fee is agreed at some point
It could be done for £90m with maybe some add-ons if they win the CL.
I wonder if Bayern will break their wage structure for him. Reportedly wants north of 500k p/w?
Anyway, much rather have Bayern / Real get him than basically any other top club in Europe.

Bayern should just..,
walk away

What is Bayern wage structure? Bayern are an example of a club that doesn't follow a wage structure, they have players on massive wages and other on relatively small wages depending on how they rate a particular player.
The only basis on which that £500k figure is true is if Bayern have already offered it to him. It also explains why he might be prepared to spend a couple of years in Germany.
If he does end up going Bayern, it will make it even more bizarre he stayed his best years at spurs. The only objective he had was the premier league goals record. To ditch it at this point is a strange move. I don’t think he him coming back in 3 years is going to allow him to get it. Not enough time.
Which is what I feel will happen. If Levy won’t cave in , Bayern most likely give up citing high price and will return in Jan. Would get for cheaper price , spurs don’t have to replace Kane immediately. Would work for all parties.
But what options does he have ? No big club seems to be interested in dealing with Levy , nor Kane’s wage demand. May be if he stays for one more season other clubs might be interested to sign for free but don’t think spurs would let that happen.
He'd rather play for a true giant and win some actual trophies.
The "top scorer in the top division since 1992" record is a load of bollocks anyway. Kane is miles off of the real record (357 goals scored in the English top flight).
Yeah im wondering why no one is talking about the effect on other Tottenham players or new players.
I guess they would be way more hesitate now to extend their contract or to sign for the Spurs.
As you said, Kane has offered them his best years and now even with a very good offer (or 2 years ago with a very, very good offer from City) Levy acts this way.
On the one hand i dont believe that the deal will collapse because of only "a few" millions, on the other hand i dont believe we will pay 100 Million pounds (Euros maybe) and i can certainly imagine Levy not moving even a single step away from his demands.
He never wanted it. If he did, he would have forced his transfer many years ago - but he didn’t (and even doesn’t try anything this window)
Exactly - this is a weirdly persistent line, despite the fact that it's been continually refuted. Bayern pay huge wages to their top bracket players - it's not quite Neymar/Mbappe (or even FDJ at Barca) but if it's not 500k p/w then it's a haircut under in certain cases. They're just wary about getting drawn into transfer-fee escalation game and setting precedents. I think they'll make a partial exception for Kane, though would guess they'll try and keep it technically under £100m
Levy has no intention of letting him go because he knows Spurs are irrelevant without him. Kane won't go on strike or force a move because he cares too much about being loved by Spurs and England fans.
Agree.
But in a weird way I don’t want Levy to budge because I want Kane to stay in the PL, even if he’s at a rival.
I’m not into daft patriotism or Nationalism, but Kane just feels like one of the great PL stories and it does sadden me to see him go.
He’s one of our own and he belongs in the PL imo.
He should stay in the PL and then move when he breaks the record.
Saying that, if Real comes in (who Levy LOVES selling to for some reason), he’ll be off straight away.
The difference is not that big. As far as i know we have Neuer, Kimmich and maybe Müller at/a bit above 20 millions (Lewandowski and Mane were also in that bracket), players like Sane, Gnabry, Goretzka, de Ligt and now Min Jae between 15 and 20, players like Musiala, Davies, Pavard between 10 and 15.
To me it seems like a sensible and fair wage structure.
What is wrong with that in your opinion?
What big club differs much in that regard?
Huh, fair enough, looks like they play fairly high wages. I thought they ran a tight ship like RM.
I don't think that there is anything wrong. I don't think that the fabled idea of wage structure is good, it implies that players have a worth that is necessarily detached from their football or marketing value which is blatantly wrong.
Some players are worth 4 or 5 times more than their teammates and Bayern have generally followed that logic without pretending that it wasn't the case. Bayern will pay massive wages to certain players and tell others to do one even if they are starters at the moment.
That wouldn't break their wage structure i think.
Shearer has dined out on this for years. It means more to win something even if its a record in your home country. On tonight's show is Alan Shearer, Newcastle legend and Premiership top goal scorer just sounds better than here is Harry Kane winner of two Bundesliga's with Bayern. Its maybe not but in England it just means more in your local competitions. Just my view
he’s just holding out for a better fee like most clubs do
not sure where you’re getting the deranged thing from? This is all pretty standard stuff
They surely haven’t offered as little as 75m? That’s deluded as feck, Madrid spent more than that on Hazard.
As proven by Höjland (and Isak last Summer), Tottenham will likely need to spend close to that for a young potential replacement who won’t be half the player to start off with.
Better to keep Kane and hope the new manager and Kane can get them top 4, which alone could be worth 40m + and may even convince Kane to pen a new deal, just as it did previously.
As always, it’s gonna take at least Rice money to convince Spurs, and that’s if it’s a none PL club.

Watch us swoop in on deadline day for Kane
Kane should just refuse to sign a deal with anyone and just see his contract out. he'd get full choice of the world's best clubs to choose from, and ask for a big signing on fee on top of big wages, given the club will be saving a transfer fee.
Would you say the same if Kane and Bayern would win the CL in the next 3 or 4 years?
That "topscorer since 92" record will anyway not last that long if Haaland decides to spend the majority of his career in the PL.
Generally the way these days, pocket 30-50m upfront for yourself
Haaland will hop clubs I think, his dad said something along those lines a year or so ago. I get the feeling he will be a Zlatan that wins everything and moves on but just a suspicion
