Still don't think he is going anywhere this summer. Next summer will be a different matter though.
Harry Kane | "I will be staying at Tottenham this summer and will be 100% focused on helping the team achieve success."

Do you think Levy would sell to United (or any top four club) or loan him to City for a season as some of your fans have suggested?
I don't think Levy would sell to anybody in England. Also who the hell said LOAN him to City!?
I'm firmly in the Kane to Madrid camp but why not Liverpool? They have some money and they sorely need a good finisher. He's decent on the ball and the pace of Mane and Salah will only accentuate his strengths

Various Spurs fans have suggested it on the Mighty universally adored legend forum, plus there's a tweet from a supposed Spurs fan above saying the same.
I agree with you for what it's worth. I don't believe Levy would even consider the option of selling Kane to a top-four club. He'll move abroad if he goes anywhere.
I actually think Bruno would be fine giving the penalties away as long as it strengthened the team and made it more likely we'd win titles. Which getting Kane obviously would do. However if Kane then missed a couple of important penalties then the shit might hit the fan (but his record is also very good).
I think if Kane is set on staying in England he would have to maybe not this year but next year, I thought Kane wasn't suppose to try to push for a move publicly either but all noises seem to suggest otherwise .I don't think Levy would sell to anybody in England. Also who the hell said LOAN him to City!?
Madrid will be more likely to go for Haaland or Mbappe rather than Kane.
And they were right?
The club hold the power this summer because of his contract and also the covid financial situation. Next summer though the power will sit with Kane with 2 years left on his contract the pressure will be on.
Liverpool consistently brought in some pretty big players all throughout that time.
Liverpool have relied on sales for their big signings. It would be surprising if they came up with the cash.
Yeah my heart says we should rival City for him but the head says we should take the much more sensible approach and focus on CB, DM & RW instead maybe even backup RB. I also feel like he wouldn't be as effective without a decent CDM and some quality delivery from the wide areas too.

We have not won the league for 8 years. Not sure we will win it next year either. If he isn’t particularly fussed about history, tradition etc, then the sensible bet from his point of view to win something soon is to go to City. Those are the facts.
If City win the Champions League then it will be even more likely he will go to City, as depressing as that may sound.

I am hoping that we'll get Sancho but I won't be surprised if we end up with a couple of pound shop signings instead. Everything seem pointing to that direction. The super league had gone tits up, Woodward's puppet had been appointed DOF and he'll be flexing his muscles on some bargain signings, Bailly and Cavani were given contract extensions
The contracts are there to ensure both parties' interests are protected, nothing more. Spurs may not have to sell Kane due to the length of his contract, but we don't know what he was promised in private when he signed his last extension.
Also, Kane will be 29 next summer. His potential fee whenever that deal happens will reflect not just how much he's got left on his contract but also his age, his injuries and potential resale value, and the longer Spurs hold onto him, the less they're going to get. Not to mention the negative effect on the team morale if your best player and captain is forced to stay on against his will. No telling how his next season will pan out, either. He may get injured, lose form or just grow indifferent and stop giving a crap.
But most importantly, what do Tottenham/Levi are actually aiming to achieve by keeping Kane for at least another season? A few years ago, during peak Pochettino years it may have looked like Spurs were on the verge of something big, but they never actually won anything. Then some players left, others got old, and new arrivals didn't live up to the expectations. This current squad is clearly not good enough to compete for the top four spot, let alone be a title contender and needs serious cash injection plus rebuild. Kane apparently doesn't want to be a part of it and would rather go somewhere where he can win things now, and who can blame him. Man City is the best place for that at the moment and they can certainly afford to pay the kind of money a player of that caliber is worth.
29 next summer, time to get out the slippers.
I mentioned this a couple of days ago but he probably was more confident then as he thought Edi was leaving
A few performances like the last game and you might wish you'd trousered the 80m and re-invested it.
They don't though. They made their VD and Allison signings based off that ludicrous Coutinho fee.
They're looking at 40-50m max top end these days, unless they pull off a silly sale again.
I can see it now.
Signs for us for 135m plus Martial, and first game of the season we start getting nervous that we've signed a fairly cumbersome slow guy who just wants to sit in the centre circle and spray balls wide.
As his goals drop to single figures without pens, and being rotated with Cavani and Ings.
If he signs for City, my fpl is screwed. He was one of consistent goal scorer in my team
Agree with this bit but it's still a huge risk. If they get it wrong they'll be set back by at least 5-10 years. Barca did this with the Neymar money and I'm sure Spurs are more than capable of screwing up as well (remember the Bale money? Eriksen, Chadli, Paulinho, Capoue, Lamela Soldado -- all very highly rated back then)
EDIT
I guess my point was their rebuild will be a heck of a lot simpler if they can just keep Kane / Son together and invest a bit on RW, RB etc.
Yeah, and in everybody else's team. This seems to be some sort of side-effect of him scoring lots of goals in actual football.
Part of me wants to get him, but then reality and our history of doing stupid business strikes.
Guy is 28 with frequent injury issues. It will take an arm and a leg to buy him, not to mention hefty salary he will command. With our luck, he will ride the medical bench more often than not and we'd be back to blaming the new 'woodward' for buying him in the first place. All the fans will conveniently forget they were the ones asking for him in the first place.
Even Real Madrid must be smarting from the hazard business at this point and might steer clear of this one.

Just a quick question to our fans who want to sign him do you not worry about the lack of supply line behind him
Kane’s got the most goals and assists in the league playing with Højbjerg and Ndombele behind him. He’d be a monster in our team.
Gary Neville thinks he’s the puppet master of football
I'd be massively worried at his tendency to spend more time pissing about on the half way line by the game.
By the time next season comes round he'll have a permanent home there.
Erm, Rashford Pogba Bruno Greenwood. Now compare that to who Kane has feeding him at Spurs while being top of both goals and assists charts
I know it sounds crazy but would be fully on board IF by some miracle we got Varane too but no chance we could afford both
We signed a much less prolific, injury prone 29 year old in Robin van Persie and he won us the league.
Kane only turns 28 this summer, if he's available and wants to come its too big an opportunity to turn down.

Another question really needs to be what can we do or say that could turn his head away from City and working with Pep

I love how you guys just throw Martial in every time thinking we would have any interest in him at all.
Without Kane, he'd be your star player. That's why. Plus rumours you were sniffing around previously.
I'd add Lingard too, he'd waltz in, or some other form of dance too.
That’s a big ask realistically isn’t it?
Well, they'll have to rebuild anyway, with or without Kane. And the reason we're even discussing it, is he wants out. So as painful as it may be, selling him for as much as possible while his value is still high may be the best option for them. This way at least they'll have a nice chunk of money to re-invest.
Son, by the way, is a year older than Kane, so who knows how long he's going to last at that level.
hilarious. thanks for that.Having seen the interview it looks like he's going to push to go. Can't see why it benefits anyone for him to stay tbh.
I agree he wouldn’t be the star player Son is much better than Martial
He’d get his game still though
