Are you happy with the move and offer? I think he’ll be great for you guys to be honest, he should be good for a couple years as well
Yeah totally agree

Wait for all the media to say how kane only cost £10m more than hojlund. If anyone now thinks we could have got kane for even £100m they are kidding themselves. Even the mighty Bayern are being forced to pay £100m+, and are still negotiating. Tbf to levy they are a week befor the pl starts and his choices for a new striker a fricking thin at this point.
Problem is kane is too much of a pussy to put in an official transfer request, over fears of upsetting the spurs fanbase and ruining his standing with them. Cant speak for spurs fans but surely getting £100mil for your 30 year old striker is better than him leaving on a free?German reports say our latest offer is 93 million euros base + bonuses up to around 20 million euros.
So we would be very close to 100 million pounds.
Levy is infamous and notorious already - I don't think Bayern calling him out would make a blind bit of difference.A part of me wants Bayern to very publicly pull out of this deal citing Levy as being impossible to negotiate with. At this point he must be doing more harm than good to Spurs' reputation in the transfer market. They're obviously already known to be difficult to deal with but a club the stature of Bayern calling that egomaniac out over this Kane saga would ruin their ability to attract quality players. Anyone that goes there knows they're never leaving.
Extended to the 'weekend', although of course there are the inevitable whispers saying that Spurs have already accepted it, subject to minor details...What happened to the deadline.
I think going forward, any player signing for Spurs would be stupid.

The offer is sincerely good. Question is if Kane is into it or not?Think he will move, Spurs would be dumb not to take the offer. It is a good one.
They will look for replacements and haggle a bit on the conditions before agreeing.
kane has agreed to terms with bayern weeks ago mateThe offer is sincerely good. Question is if Kane is into it or not?
I think going forward, any player signing for Spurs would be stupid not to demand a reasonable release clause in their contract.
Did the club confirm that or just various rumors?kane has agreed to terms with bayern weeks ago mate
Reported by numerous sources both in london and munich. Reading between the lines, every insider seems to think the deal is going to happen.Did the club confirm that or just various rumors?

"Kickers" Georg Holzner says Levy delays the negotiations to win time to seal as many incoming deals as possible. Public knowledge off him having 100mio more in his chest would weaken his position. Both teams enter the official season end of next week, o expect it to be official until then.
Bayern and Tottenham wouldn’t be speaking with each other had Kane not given Bayern his okay to join.Did the club confirm that or just various rumors?

It's not the transfer fee that's the problem, it's Kane's wages.Media will be absolutely unbearable about us not paying that bit extra to sign him. Happy to conveniently ignore what an absolute fecking nightmare Levy is to deal with
Fabrizio Romano on Harry Kane: “The bosses at Bayern wanted an answer to their new bid by midnight on Friday, but it never came, which has left the people in Munich not happy with Spurs chairman Daniel Levy. They remain confident of getting a deal done and will insist on bringing Kane to Germany. The conversation remains ongoing and Bayern feel it can be handled over the weekend, but they are still waiting for Daniel Levy’s answer regarding the bid. At the moment, the reality is that the deal is still on but of course, it’s one to follow hour by hour.”

=> This guy - Levy - is a pain in the ass. I'd say even a bit unprofessional.
If I'm Kane I actually hate Daniel Levy, he's given amazing service to Tottenham and they've never delivered. He's had his contracts and he's doing what's his right, which is running his last year down.
Levy knows full well he's going regardless, why be so controlling, why not let the last go for 70-80 million and use that money towards a top level striker. Instead he's potentially going to lose him for nothing.
It's just madness.
It's not the transfer fee that's the problem, it's Kane's wages.
People have discussed this before - Bayern are not exactly chomping to pay those wages , but it isn't outside of their usual practice in recent years re. their top category of player (Lewa, Muller, Neuer, Mane, maybe Kimmich ). It's always been about containing how much they have to pay upfront in transfer fees so they, presumably, don't get seen as easy marks, as well as probably other accounting-based reasons (they've definitely got the cash from prize, commercial revenue, domming the bundesliga etc). They're very parsimonious in that regard compared with barca and the rest.How much truth in those wage demands?

The arrogance here lies with levy. He sees that as a way to flex his muscles, deadlines? I’ll ignore that to show I’m in charge.. surely it’s better for his club the sooner unless the rumours is he’s trying to sign replacements before the money comes in, but how stupid does he think other clubs are? They know it’s coming in and beyond that spurs are known to have spending powerGod I fecking hate Bayern, such an arrogant bunch of cnuts.

City most definitely is. They are and are going to be for as long as Pep is there basically the favourites every year.Except they’re not. No team in world football can be called a large step up from United .. currently . Not even City. Remember last season everyone thought it’d take years to catch up to liverpool … it can be done.
2020 was 3 years ago when was United's last relevant CL period?In this moment, they definitely aren't.
Their team last season was the worst it's been in decades. It took a Dortmund bottle-job for them to win the Bundesliga.
They've not been relevant in the CL since 2020.
Bayern is the easier move to make.
Spurs beat City at home literally every single year. They don't even score. It's nothing fancy, at least in my eyes.Man Utd have improved a lot since the start of last season. It wasn't a fluke that they knocked out Barca in the EL.
They even beat Man City at home in the PL earlier this year - with Bayern failing to beat City at home in the CL.
I didn't think the two teams seemed that far apart in the FA Cup either - Utd with a more capable midfielder than the declining Eriksen, and a proper CF, could have pushed City all the way.
