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

Committed to the cause at Spurs because no other club was willing to stump up the transfer fee for him. Very honorable, Harry.
 
Feel like people are overstating Kane’s age a tad in relation to Spurs’ assessment of what he’s worth. He’s literally just turned 28 and is coming off, arguably, his most impressive season ever - top goal scorer and top assister in the league while playing in a disjointed team managed by Jose Mourinho and Ryan Mason.

Pogba and Maguire are both 4 months older. Varane is 3 months older. Kane’s even basically just a year older than Bruno (13 months).

Lukaku is 2 months older, and many levels below Kane, and he’s moved this summer for just over a £100 million. Spurs would be crazy to entertain a conversation without a firm bid of £150 million given that precedent and the fact it’s essentially a Petrostate bidding for him.

His injuries do present a genuine concern given they’re persistent ankle issues but he only missed about 2 weeks worth of fixtures last season and played well over 60 games in total. His game isn’t predicated on speed or explosiveness either.

I think Spurs’ approach is justified given everything Kane means to the club and the fact they don’t seem to have received an offer commensurate with his quality. Levy’s made innumerable shitty decisions over the last few years but this isn’t one.
 
It’s comedy gold.

Harry sits at home having a beer with his mates at the end of the season, says “I’m definately leaving after the euros boys!”
“How do you know ‘Arry?”
“I’ve got a gentleman’s agreement with Daniel Levy”

whole room facepalms, two lads walk off, one throws a cushion at his head, three rip up betting slips.
 
Embarrassing. From having your brother as your agent dealing with your contract to relying on a verbal agreement with Levy of all people to doing a dodgy interview with Gary Neville to going AWOL. Laugh out fecking loud.
 
Props to Levy for keeping the league competitive.
I hope City go into the season with only Jesus.
 
The saint did not get his way then and neither did the English media. A good day.

I love the way he implies that he's staying because of the messages of support without actually saying it.

Kane would really struggle to come out of this looking like any more of an absolute weapon than he already has.
 
Levy is a tough nut to crack.

I hope the Spurs fans turn on Kane as it'll be funny, but they won't they'll be praising him even though its obvious he wanted out.
 
Everyone came out looking a fool from this.
Harry and his brother complete idiots. Gullible, erratic, both braindead with no plan behind their actions. Ruined his reputation as a professional for magic beans. Put in transfer request if you’re ruining your reputation anyway, no balls on that boy.

Levy a lying snake who lost €150M for spiting his own face. Who can trust his word again? Players beware.

Guardiola and City muppets and a Pep Guardiola is my idol; cant win CL without an extra 250M addition to the most expensive squad ever build.
 
Have a feeling he might be at United next season and then will probably get injured a lot :rolleyes: though he might as well just stay and beat the Spurs goal scoring record at this point.

Wonder if this means City will spend the 100+ million bid money this summer? :nervous:
 
Can’t see this year being a good one for Kane, hard to play in a team you don’t want to and if he stops producing the fans will be on his back.
 
Come on city don’t give up you can do this. Get her done to remove temptation for us and take yourselves out of the running for Haaland.
 
I wonder what we’ll all be saying when he turns up at United for £150m next season while Haaland turns up at City for half that?

No way are we buying what will be a 29yo with serious injury record for over 100mil. The English press will push for it though.
 
This would be horrible. Guy is nearing 30, declining athleticism, injury issues. Still a good player, but I would not like him to be the direction we go
He played 50 games last season for club and Country which is 9 more than Haaland but sure, let's just make up a lazy narrative just because he's 29.
 
Said it a few times, City should have stuck 150m down soon as Euros ended as a starter, if rejected, throw another 5-10m and offer a makeweight. Grealish should never have been signed first.

Soon as you pay 100 for grealish, release clause or not, you're showing that you believe he is worth it. Levy was never accepting anything close to 100m once he seen grealish go for the same price.

City fecked right up. Utterly hilarious though watching the sad cases on bluemoon who claim to be ITK, being wrong again ! Also kind of pathetic of them to call Kane names just because he wants to stay now.

Doesn’t benefit United one bit. Mbappe will end up in Madrid, and with Chelsea out of contention, no one can outbid City for Haaland.

You just got Kaaaaaaaaaned
 
What a way to tarnish yourself. Same happened to Rooney, club legend and rightly one of our great players but for me his legacy is tarnished because of the transfer requests.
 
Harry Kane staying for another year. Spurs winning their first 2 games. United dropping points to Southampton. I think a certain someone has grown tired of his gap year in the Indian mountains.
 
Hire Raiola and u get the move.
it is important to hire a good agent, but even Raiola can't do magic with that contract. I highly doubt Raiola would advise him to sign a 6 year contract without release clause.

As expected Kane will stay with Spurs this season. He is making millions of dollars every month so he will be fine.
 
Poor bastard.

If Harry had half a brain, he'd have demanded a release clause added to a new contract the last time he and Levy agreed to another extension. Levi obvioulsly may have refused at the time but then time would be working for the player and the chairman's position would get weaker with every passing season. Kane could have just played out the remaining years and walk as a free agent while still in his prime or force Levy to sell him with little time left on a running out contract.

After all the shit Levi pulled over the years I'm genuinely shocked players still expect something different from the man. Regardless of whether you think his hard-arse reputation is good or bad for the club, one thing you can say about Levy is that he's consistent.

I guess it might be more a case of worrying he's been playing that many games for so long & does have injury issues most seasons. Players now easily do 60+ games a season if there are internationals and they do well in cups, there's just too much.

I don't buy this idea of him being finished but I do think players aren't looked after when it comes to getting enough recovery/rehab from injuries. Issue for Kane is simply he signed a stupid contract and he has to live with that, 2024 is a long way off in the short career of a professional footballer.

I don't see Levy did anything wrong here. Both the club and players need to respect the contract. Yes Kane's agent did a poor job and that is it.
 
This is terrible news for us. Because City will now be in for Haaland and money talks when your agent is Mino Raiola.
 
If he suffers another ankle injury this year I don’t think any team is going to be interested in him next year for the price that will be demanded from Levy meaning he might have to stay at Spurs longer.
