I'm just glad we aren't involved in this mess of a saga.
Harry Kane | "I will be staying at Tottenham this summer and will be 100% focused on helping the team achieve success."
- Thread starter Samid
- Start date
Because everyone in media still portrays him as a player who is locked up in golden cage but despite that he's maximum pro.
Once he's put formal transfer request there's no turning back from that.
I think fans have got it right on the most part, apart from City fans. Most believe Harry has made a real mess of himself through out all of this.
I don't think City come out of this looking great, tapping up a player, talking about him publicly then leaving him pissing into the wind.
Its funny how nothing is said about how City have tapped up Kane.
Pep coming out saying they want him and if Spurs willing to negotiate then they will.
I wouldn't be surprised if City didn't put pressure on Kane to act up.
Regardless of a verbal agreement, Levy probably thinks Kane can leave but when you see Lukaku and Grealish going for £100m, no way Kane goes for anything under £130/140m

Because then they lose their 'loyalty bonus'.
Honestly, literally 99% of Spurs fans would respect him infinitely more if he put in the transfer request, said he wanted to leave and that he'd gone as far as he can With Spurs.
Most of us would actually agree with him.
This is just the shittest of both worlds though. He and his brother are still trying to put pressure on Levy while trying to keep the fans on side. It's not working.
At least Berbatov and Modric had the decency to put one in.
Agree with both statements, and the second one is kind of related to first in terms of transfer request.
If Kane never goes with formal request and City doesn't move for him that leaves him space to navigate his relationship with fans by claiming he never really wanted to leave, it was mostly media narrative etc. and fans will get over his antics sooner.
If he goes with transfer request and still it doesn't go through there's no way he'll ever get any kind of relationship with supporters.
Is there a more naive player in the land? Even a player without an agent should be more savvy.Kane's camp claim it was agreed he would be permitted to leave if Spurs didn't win a trophy or qualify for the Champions League last season.
Sources close to Kane claim that during a meeting at the start of last season, Levy agreed to let the striker leave if Spurs failed to qualify for the Champions League or win silverware. During the summit, it is said Kane was told by the chairman that Spurs, then coached by Jose Mourinho, would compete for trophies and for the top four.
Kane was led to believe that if those goals were not met, the club would allow him to leave.
Kane left for Euro 2020 under the impression that Tottenham would sanction his exit ahead of the new season.
He felt empowered to conduct an interview with Sky Sports before the Euros in which he heavily intimated his intention to leave because he believed he had the green light.
There is frustration from Kane that his impeccable reputation has been called into question.
Sources close to Kane insist the player left for his holiday in the Bahamas and Florida under the impression that he would be allowed to take an extended break.
It is claimed that this agreement was withdrawn while he was away but not communicated directly to him.
The miscommunication is said to have caused him to miss his return date, with the striker unsure as to why Tottenham are yet to clear up the confusion.
Kane understands the fans' frustrations but hopes they will appreciate his position, especially after the years of service and his remarkable scoring record.
Harry Kane is a massive knob-end

Kane stands to lose £18mil in loyalty bonuses if he puts in an official transfer request. City would give him that money over the course of his contract, but the fact that kane hasnt done that makes me think his 'advisors' are rubbish.
City are not giving him that money. Once he loses that 18m, that money is gone forever. There's a reason players hardly use it. Unless City agree to add £18m to the already agreed wage, he would be a fool to put one in.
I think you're missing the point. He'll have agreed a significantly bigger salary with City. Way more than 18 million more than his salary with Spurs over the course of the contract. So yes while he'll lose the 18 million from Spurs he's also standing to lose the big paycheck City have offered him. I guess he doesn't want to official request a transfer and lose the 18 mil and have the transfer not materialize and lose the City money too.
I reckon this probably ends with Kane putting in a request at the final stages of the deal so he's basically paying 18 million of his own money as part of the transfer fee.
It's a massive risk. A transfer request doesn't guarantee a transfer.
Hence why he won't do it until the final stages of the negotiations, if it's looking like there's about a 20 million difference in valuation.
I doubt it will make much difference, Levy will have a price in his head that he wants, I'm pretty sure he will have told City it and wont pick up the phone unless its met. Personally I would accept £130-140M, I think Danny will want more, at the moment I will be more disappointed if he stays as apposed to goes if I am being honest.
Massive financial implications. All of these players have huge loyalty bonuses as part of their contracts, which the teams have to pay up when they transfer them. As soon as the player hands in a formal request, they lose out on these bonuses... which is why you almost never see premiership players formally asking to move.
He said it on tv, a few days after the season ended. There is no sugar coating. Hence it shows how naive and stupid he has been.
I thought signing Berbatov was a nightmare because of the saga, but this is another level!
Who's going to talk about it? It's libel.
The only club/situation I can remember something been done about it, and memory might be wrong here, is Southampton, Liverpool and Van Dijk. They made them wait until January didn't they?
Have there been any others in the Premier League?
Where's that from? I can't find anything resembling that figure being quoted...

I know it doesn't happen, but you rarely also see managers talking openly about negotiations like that. Pep openly said yes we want him and if Spurs negotiate.
Yep, and everything else afterwards is just damage control.
I hope he does join City for stupid money and ends up being a massive flop. Would love to see the pundits crawl their way through defending their goldenboy.
Neville in this whole ordeal in particular has been nauseatingly predictable with the lengths he's gone through to defend him, especially with this whole "trust me I know Arry, he's a top bloke, something must have happened" sentiment.
I actually think Spurs will be better off without him, especially if they're looking to rebuild.

Levy isn't interested in selling him this window unless City pay up. If he doesn't leave he will most likely sign a new contract with a release clause for next summer anyway when we would still be looking £100 million.
Can imagine everyone's attitude towards Kane and his situation would be quite different on here if it was us he was trying to move to.
Berbatov.
If they can get 150mil for him, I'd say sell for sure. 28 years old. Look at Liverpool and how well they invested the Coutinho money. Liverpool weren't too far off Spurs standard at the time.
This is a really embarrassing way to approach things from Kane. Naturally the media will take his side because of him being England's golden boy, but this whole saga has shown him/the people around him to be a serious combination of dicks and idiots.
As I said last year with Dortmund and Sancho, the selling club is well within their rights to demand a price they deem as worthwhile for letting one of their best players go, and should not feel obligated or pressured to sell for a lower price.
When you look at the prices that players go for these days, I would argue that having a player is worth more than having money. There's a serious lack of top quality players around. Let's say Spurs sold Kane for 120 mill or something like that. Who can they realistically get that will fill the void he occupied? At least with a sum greater than that they can spread it out over the team as a whole.
Added to that, City themselves set a precedent by paying 100 million for Graelish, because Kane is worth significantly more than that.

Is anyone surprised? He swore on his child’s like he touched a football that the video footage showed he didn’t touch for a goal (then the premier league gave him the goal).
Exactly this.
We all know Sancho wanted to leave last season and he had a gentleman's agreement with Dortmund, if the right offer comes you can leave. Dortmund had a stance, 120m and he can leave, Manutd never offered that and Sancho trained and done the rest.
Kane IMO has a similar he had an agreement but the price isn't met so why should Spurs give City a discount just because Kane wants to leave? If City really want him, theyll put the money down and get him. Its actually a simple deal. Meet the fee, sign the player.
Kane should be firing his agent. If he wanted out in the middle of his contract then you put in a release clause not rely a gentlemen’s agreement with levy.
Would make for awkward Christmas dinners considering it's his brother - you do have a point though

Not travelling to Portugal either surely just hand in the transfer request
Charlie Kane is his agent!? Levy must have bulldozed him in those negotiations.
Can you imagine the utter meltdown Neville & co would have if Pogba did this
Big Harry on the other hand, “footballing saint”

Done dealio
Kane is coming off as very unprofessional. Don't like it when players pull this shit.
It wasn't his brother at the time he signed the 6 year contract.
Marcotti made a point that big name agents could fight back v Levy and mess him up for future negotiations for other players if he went back on something like this. With Charlie he doesn’t have this threat so Levy can walk all over them
He should have done this ages ago, when clubs could actually afford him.
City can afford anyone
Do we know how much City offered for him? Bridges between Kane and Spurs are well and truly burnt at this point, so surely Levy is simply waiting for an acceptable bid.
