Harry Kane | "I will be staying at Tottenham this summer and will be 100% focused on helping the team achieve success."

He seem to say he wanted to leave for 100 million in the Gary Neville chat interview on the golf course.

He also said he was going to become an NFL Kicker. The guy is an absolute fcukwit. Double digit IQ that fella.
 
Pepe just said they will try to sign Harry but Spurs need to be open to the idea. It's not often you get a manager commenting on another player they are chasing.



 
Spurs won't even negotiate and people wonder why he's on strike....?

Kane should put a transfer request in and publicly reveal the side agreement to leave he believes he has. That'll clear up for everyone.

Thing is, this ‘Gentleman’s agreements’ means absolutely nothing in real terms.

Such an odd post.

1) He's their player. He signed a contract. They're under no obligation to sell.
2) Yes, if he wants to leave, he should put in a formal transfer request and therefore waive any bonuses/payments he may be owed.
3) Revealing details of the contract while still under said contract would be very immature and unprofessional
4) Why does it need clearing up for everyone? The people who know what it says are the only people who matter.

That isn't necessarily true, it depends how it's framed, if there are any witnesses to it or associated paper trail.

Don't see what he's got to lose now by just explaining what agreement he thinks he has to go and why he's on strike.

They might be under obligation to sell depending on what the side agreement is. Probably have to go to court to force it though. Like with the Suarez Arsenal bid years ago. Even if you have a release clause club can just say no and court is the only recourse.

Per 3 and 4 Kane is being portrayed as the bad guy when he's the one presumably being screwed over by Levy not following what was agreed.

So he should set the record straight, put in a transfer request and take every measure he can to force the club to follow whatever agreement he thinks he has.
 
Good on Kane. About time someone spits on that Bald Frauds face, and im not talking about Pep.

feck that. Kane is the City signing the rest of the league should fear not "most fouled floppy haired guy" Jack Grealish. He's been topping the scoring charts nearly every season and now is racking up assists too. City signing him really will make them incredible strong.

Yeah there's a moral defence there for him with the fans, if he confirms he's been promised verbally he can leave.

But the whole premise of a verbal agreement that totally undermines the written legal contract is a bit silly in legal terms.
 
Love how people are so willing to take Pep's quotes at face value, as if there's no possibility of an ulterior motive or agenda behind them. Also, is it just me or is Man City's official twitter tweeting his quotes about Kane totally unprofessional?

Also what really matters is whether this supposed gentleman's agreement specified a fee. As I can't see how Levy would have promised to sell him for 100 millions even a year or two ago. For them he's worth more and now given City spent the same fee on Grealish he's worth much more.
 


The disrespect to Spurs being this public with it is crazy but it is City, anyone knows better than to expect class from the plastics
 
So, apparently Grealish has cost them 40m because they've recouped 60m last year in player sales. I think, for all the rhetoric of, "how can City do this? FFP is dead", you have to concede that they are simply doing something well; releasing wages from the club in free transfers, prolifically securing player loans away, and selling unwanted assets to raise capital.

1. If there was a release clause then Man City would just have to trigger it, like they did with Grealish, no requirements for negotiation, which shows clearly there is no release clause.

2. On the bolded part, how do you know he is being screwed over? were you party to the conversations?

Levy could have easily said if the right bid comes you can go, Spurs have maintained for 18 months he is valued at 150m, so why would they want to give a 50m discount ?

This £100m is a made up figure by Kane, its a bit coincidental that he said to sky sports £100m and City offering that...
 
Given the situation spurs are in I would say it would be more classy to shut up about the player full stop.

I reckon Pep was asked about it, though? He can lie, tell the truth or say something like "no comment". I don't think it's bad to admit that you are interested.

I think it's disrespectful personally as he has no need to comment at all.

Spurs are in turmoil and their best player AWOL. Could do with out Pep stirring it.

That's why I put presumably.

We don't actually know what the side agreement is.

Like Neville said though, Kane obviously feels wronged.

Kane should publicly say what he thinks the agreement is and why he's then on strike.

Personally, I think he realised made a massive mistake signing a 6 year contract and is trying every way possible to get him out the club.

He is coming to the realisation that he needs to win trophies and time is running out.
 
No one in their right mind would have signed a 6 year deal at Spurs with no get out clause.

He screwed up by employing Del Boy, who was out of his depth, to get him inadequate wages and trying to negotiate with Levy.

Serves him right.
 
It seems Harry has found his tongue and decided to turn up to training tomorrow :lol: :lol:

Messi definitely didn't have anything to do with it though...
Literally :lol: whoops it turns out I wasn’t due back, I swear.
 
Took him long enough to come out with the statement. People have been talking about him since Monday and he just had the balls to come out and say something? Or did he realize City just signed Jack and he ain’t getting his transfer?
 


I would never, and I have never, refused to train?

I guess he was there, training with the team, all that time. Journalists blew everything out of proportion as usual...

Although Spurs fans seem to have this reaction genuinely:

I am guessing(as we all are) that someone has told him that if he want to have even a slim chance of leaving he needs to come back to training.

If Kane statement is true, it was stupid beyond belife that Nuno did not just say that in his presser.
 
Guardiola didn't sound too confident of getting the deal over the line this afternoon, so Harry is mending some bridges before the inevitable "I'm staying, I never wanted to leave anyway, COYS!" tweet in late August.
 
Not being funny but if it was all over the news that I had refused to train from Monday, it wouldn’t take me until Friday to clarify I had not refused.
 
I would think more of him if he said nothing and just turned up instead of that tripe he put out..
