Kane will still be here next season, regardless of how much money is on the table.

Of course he will be. I expect he will be offered a new contract before the season is out too, which he will sign.

I'm really not worried. He's said he wants to stay with us. It's a non story in the papers today. Completely made up.

Reports in Spain Madrid are 'considering' a £177M bid. TalkSport's breakfast show talking about nothing else, unfortunately David Ginola not covering himself in glory. His heart's in the right place but his knowledge of how the business of football works seems incredibly limited. Alan's Brazil obviously is mentally subhuman.

The Spanish source is Don Balon btw, which is just a gossip website now since its newspaper ceased to be. It's on the same level as tribalfootball these days.

Even if true (it isn't), we should just ask for Asencio as part of any deal and that would immediately end it all. He's their absolute golden boy, if we say include him or no deal, it's no deal. Job done.

And it starts!!! Knew it wouldn't be long before the Real Madrid rumours start to surface. Even if it's remotely true, we should tell Real to shove a chorizo up their ass!!!! Fed up of these ****s thinking they owe world football and think they can unsettle any player they want. Harry Kane is priceless and not even 500 million would satisfy me. Would seriously consider giving up football and Spurs if we were to sell Kane.

Point is, with his total goals tally (and subsequent bonus payout), Kane probably makes more or less as much at Spurs as he would at any other PL club.
Furthermore, he is only 24 and will reach his peak sometime during the next 5 years. If he looks at the club he is at, there is an overwhelming possibility that during those next 5 years, he'll win a major trophy with the club he is already playing for. So a move within the PL can not offer a whole lot of more money, and not a tremendous increase in likelihood of a major trophy in a 5 years period. That only leaves Real Madrid and Barcelona as possibly suitors, purely if he wanted to have an career experience that's totally different from a London club, replacing some of the worlds best players when their time is up.

Is it at the expense of the team though? If he wasn't so greedy maybe he doesn't score that second goal? You can't put a rose tinted spin on it to suit. Kane is what he is and that greedyness is part of what makes him great.

Kane had so many options when the keeper blundered. That second goal is exactly what he should be doing.

If anyone is wearing rose tinted glasses it's the ones thinking he's not greedy. Just look at his teammates when he doesn't always choose the right option.

Don't get me wrong, Kane is a god but if I had to pick his weakness its his decision making.

Find me a very top class Striker that isn't greedy. Scoring goals is his primary job. He won't do that without backing himself and taking shots.

When a journo writes a definitive figure like that attached to a "thinking about/considering" story you know it's just guess work at best. Add in the fact this is not how the Madrid media train goes about its business and you can write it off altogether IMO. Kane is far too valuable both on the pitch and commercially right now to even contemplate letting him go, and Levy has no intention whatsoever of doing that.

Kane has earned the right to be greedy as he can finish with either foot from any range and his stats. More often than not he converts half chances.

Sell Kane next summer, you'd lose Eriksen, Alli, and probably Poch.

All the commercial deals Levy's negotiating for the new stadium would decrease in value.

It would be madness.

I think this is the key point. Commercially, we need Kane to be the 'face' of the club going into the new stadium. Levy knows this. I'd be stunned if he left next summer. I'd say Kane will also be very keen to play at the new stadium now it's so close.

Aguero?

Several times this season he's passed to Jesus who's been a better goal scoring position.

Again, It's good that Kane is hungry to score but he needs to realise that sometimes there is a better option.
