Both comes out looking like idiots. Why would Levy say "You can leave in 2024 on free transfer", that would be the end of top talents signing for Spurs who want to use them as stepping stone. There should be a middle ground, if Club expects x million, they can tell that to player and his agent, bring this deal and you can leave.
Likewise the other side, how does he know what was promised when he signed the contract. Spurs were on a high when he signed contract, so maybe he never needed lot of convincing when he signed contract as Poch was very good and Spurs had decent runs in CL and also in the league.
Kane suits City to a T because of his build up play, physical presence and goalscoring ability. This won't happen unless City pays whatever Levy is asking for (150 - 200M). Funnily enough I think Messi would have been cheaper.
The mental gymnastics to defend Kane in this situation are hilarious.
I don't get the people thinking Kane wouldn't suit City, I'd like to know how he's a bad fit?
He'd be a monster. Only problem is his once a season prolonged injury.
Worrying move all round. City become a kind of Premier league stand in for the national team with Sterling, Stones, Walker, Grealish and Kane, attracting the lions share of this generation's glory hunters. Something we used to do brilliantly.
His fitness is the only issue, albeit its a big one I only expect to get worse, but when fit, I see no reason to think he won't be sensational at City. He'll hit the ground running a lot quicker than their over ridiculously priced signing.
Kane is coming across as a right cnut at the minute. Looks like an ideal fit for them to be honest.
Like it was with Eriksen?
Did any club bid for him? I mean serious money. I don't remember except when he was on last year of contract and IIRC we made low ball bid for him.
Players like Toby, Dier, Rose were linked with us but we barely read anything about the bids. Might be wrong here but that's how I remember it. All links but without serious intention like City are with Kane.
Levy always made it insanely hard for his stars to leave the club. Somehow it never stopped anyone from joining.
Depends on how you squint your eyes at the situation. For me, Daniel Levy is confirming his reputation for being as honest as a comedy crocodile. He is the ne plus ultra of bald middle aged Luciferian bastardos.
Yeah contract terms blah blah blah. But you know Levy promised Kane, while winking and feeling his leg, that he could leave 'gentlemanly' if such and such happened, then went home and worshiped the owl bust in his gold fortress.
Justice for Harry!

Yeah that's also true. For all the over-reaction (including myself) Spurs are one of the top teams in Europe, who can pay good wages and plays in very good league. So they will be good destination for talented players.
Edit: top teams means top 15-20.

They both look like bellends in this.
If you look at it in a sporting way then yes. However; if you are Levy there are other things to consider here too. He doesn't like to sell to the Pl, we saw that with Modric and Bale.
Also, why would you give someone a discount rate just because the player has been at the club for a long time? Lukaku went for £100m and Grealish too, Kane has better numbers in the prem
If Lukaku valued 100m then Kane is 200m. Stick to that line Levy
Is that statement really accurate?
Yeah, I don’t get it. Aside from the fact I can see how frustrating it must be for Kane, he is also the architect of his own pile of shit. Levy is actually just doing his job and he does it pretty well for Spurs.
For me as a United fan, it’s actually amusing to watch a big hot mess at another club that concerns their biggest star. Also, it would be great if City don’t end up with Kane. Sit back and enjoy it guys and girls.Who actually gives a shit about Kane, Levy, Pep, Spurs or City?
Oh, dear. Not a pretty sight, if true. Not great PR from anyone’s point of view.
Okay, it didn't stop many promising players who saw Spurs as a potential stepping stone in their career from joining them (whenever it worked for them or not is a different matter).
I know, I was taking the opportunity to have a pop at city really. No matter what Kane does, i'm under no illusion that Levy is the bigger cnut.
I think Levy does get a bad press, he's not going to let clubs walk over him or the club, which I am thankful for. I agree we arent an elite club and players will wanna move on but I don't think the club has stood in the way of anyone long term when you look at the examples. Carrick, Berbatov, Modric, Bale, Walker, Trippier have all had excellent careers and surely we as a club deserve some credit for developing them
I think Levy would be mad not to cash in. I can't believe Kane's best days are ahead of him and this is an opportunity to fuel a rebuild.
I didn't say anybody would. But Spurs can rightly argue that if Grealish's record in the game warrants £100m then Kane's record in the game is worth £200m.
Kane isn't going anywhere.

Prediction - Kane goes to City for £150m or so on the last day of the transfer window. Levy shafts Spurs again just like he did with the Berbatov transfer, lots of money but no time to spend it on improving the side.
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

From the outside in he appears to always put Spurs first. Can anyone say how he’s handled all these transfer sagas hasnt worked out for the club?
He’s always got good fees and I can’t remember any players he’s held to their contracts not playing to a great standard the next season.
Bizarre argument.
Why would it matter if he's been promised anything during contract negotiations? As long as it's not in the actual contract, it doesn't matter.
Everyone understands why Kane wants to leave Tottenham, doesn't matter if promises about Tottenhams future were made or not, doesn't make it more or less understandable that he wants to compete for trophies and play for a team with a much better chance of winning.
SAF was willing to let Ronaldo go for what he and the club deemed was an appropriate offer, which, at the time Madrid certainly came in with. They came with a world record fee.
It's a similar situation here, just that City haven't come up with a proper offer. They have a bottomless pit of money and just spent 100 mill on an inferior player to Kane. Spurs are well within their rights to say that City need to come up with a better offer.
If Kane is so desperate to move….
Why not take a smaller wage at City to make up the difference?
He‘s currently paid £10.4m a year (£200k per week) ….and rumoured to be paid around £19.5m (£375k per week) at City.
He’d be no worse off If he remained on his current £200k per week for the first 2 years at City, which would put approx £18m in the pot.
Giving up £18m over 2 years wouldn’t be so dramatic as it seems …most of it would have been taken in tax, agent fees, legals etc.
Factor in the extra sponsorship revenue he’d get at City and he’d still be making £millions more than he currently is at Spurs.
Highly unlikely I know …but it’d prove how much really wants to get out.

That is an insane suggestion.
Of course it matters.
Why?
Trust.
Honestly £150m for a 28 year old Kane? you'd have to take it IMO.
They might never get that sort of offer again. I think the bridges have been burnt now. The issue is will Tottenham be able to replace him?
They should have got Ings when he was available, now they're scrambling around trying to find the best solution.
I just can't see Kane being motivated and being at his best if he doesn't get what he wants.

I am sure if City come up with £150m he will go but it seems at the moment the best they can do is £120m.
Kane has tainted his reputation with Spurs fans, now he is stuck, City haven't offered the deal and Spurs are not giving discounts.
City can afford it, but they're trying to make Spurs sweat to get a cheaper deal. Levy will stick to his guns, we know he doesn't get shoved around.
Unfortunately for them it's a very tough situation. Risk keeping an unhappy player for a year and potentially do it all again next summer. Or sell him now for maybe less than you'd want, not manage to replace him effectively and have a poor year on the pitch.
I think it really depends how hard Kane pushes. Is he brave enough to burn his reputation at Tottenham to force himself out? or will he accept the move won't happen and keep patient and try again next year.
I suspect he'll try to negotiate a deal with Levy to stay 1 more year and then go next year.
Yes, I'm not arguing against that.
I'm arguing against the idea that there's no such thing as gentlemen agreement. Because that's clearly what it is between Ronaldo and United at the time.
For what it's worth , I guess the dumb thing with Kane is that he didn't negotiate for a release clause in his next contract. With Levy's past records with former Spurs players you should know that this situation is expected.
