If England wins the euros do people think that Harry may be more willing to stay?

Or will it have the opposite effect and he'll have even more of a desire to leave in order to win more things?
Impossible to say really. It's more likely he has priced himself out of a move though.

Before the Euros, Covid seemed to set the price because clubs didn't have as much to spend.

Now, we are likely to find that Harry Kane's form during the Euros means he's effectively priced himself out of a move (if that is indeed what he wants), his profile was high enough as it was, now it's gone through the roof. What's the figure now? 100m is an insult.

I wouldn’t even sell for £200 million. There is more at stake here than money. Standing up to a club like Man City trying to buy our best player with their bottomless pit of resources wins us more credibility at a time we need it more than ever. Especially Levy. Can he and Lewis resist the lure of the pound though, that’s the big question. I don’t have much faith but hope to be proved wrong.

Also it seems Man City are sniffing around Greizmann now, which from their point of view makes so much more sense than Kane except for the wage issue.

Even at 150m it's a bit of a joke, I can't think of a player that was clearly the best CF in the world and in his prime and being sold.

Looking at the most expensive transfers of all time, Neymar, dembele, hazard, mbappe.

Mbappe (now might come close in value), but the reality is that 200m is the minimum.

Long contract
Club legend
Professional (on and off the pitch)

All of which cannot be ascribed to the above. The truth is no one can afford him.

I thought city or united would stump up the cash but as both have signed big players this summer, neither can afford to buy him (or even close).

I think we can now comfortably accept that Kane will be at spurs next season.

United resigned Cavani already. And I think City is going to go for Grealish & Ings. Then next summer, come back in for Kane or compete for Haaland

The issue we have is that financially football has taken a downturn. Barcelona and Real are not the financial powers they were nor is there much money in Serie A atm. That leaves only the oil clubs as a possible destination and they won't spend like they used to if all their competitors are now only able to spend half of what they used to.

3 years ago Kane would have deserved a 200m bid, but that money no longer exists. Sancho has gone for a lot less than what we'd expected and Mbappe is likely winding down his contract to become affordable. Kane probably won't go this summer even though City could afford £150m. They'll wait for next year when he'll have a shorter contract and be worth less than £100m.

The only hope is that his thirst for immediate trophies is temporarily quenched and that the feeling of how special it is to do it for England, the country he loves make's him consider the idea of how it would mean more to do it for the club he loves.

Though that is so much spurs spin that I'm actually dizzy myself.

I'm sure he is listening to loads of 'advice' from his fellow England players about what his next move should be. Interested club managers would be silly not to take advantage of having the guy mixing with their squad members for a few weeks. So who could be 'in his ear' ?
There's Kyle Walker, Raheem Sterling and Phil Foden (Man City), Dean Henderson, Harry Maguire and Luke Shaw (Man Utd) and Ben Chilwell, Reece James, Mason Mount (Chelsea).

Lots of rumours over here beginning about him heading to the red side of Manchester in a cash /player deal with Jesse Linguard being used as the bait following his successful loan season at West Ham. Has OGS something up his sleeve ?

I'd love us to be able to hang on to the England captain for at least one more season and convince him his future lies at Spurs but I also understand the very real temptations of a mega deal move to a club currently more capable of challenging for titles and trophies. If he does leave us then I sincerely hope the money raised is made immediately available to Fabio and spent wisely. We cannot afford any more dodgy investments. Hopefully with the Paratici and Santo partnership those days are behind us. ?

I think it makes no difference, the clubs lost it’s way, maybe we will rediscover it, but it depends on Harry’s ambitions! I doubt winning the euros will make a difference but loosing prob will

Also, if he went somewhere like Man City in the next 12 months, would guardiola let him play like that and how he wants to or would Harry have to put up with just being another cog in a machine. Surely under guardiola it would be the latter. It’s something that should be pointed out to him.

We set up to get the best out of him. Thinking back to Southampton and Le Tissier, they used to do the same and the side was built around him. I’m not saying that’s exactly what we should do but we definitely now set up to get the best out of Kane. He only has to look at his England games now to see that not setting up exactly to benefit him doesn’t produce the best for his goal scoring figures.
I agree...but he's 1 goal away from a second consecutive golden boot with England, so he's not exactly doing badly in that system.

So, they think Lingard, plus, what? 160m? 180m? After they just spent 72m on Sancho. So, apparently they have 250m sitting around, and are willing to splooge it on 2 players.

And the alleged icing on the cake is throwing Lingard into the deal? Genius stuff from Ole and Co. if they think that is a remote possibility. Maybe, they can also bring Mbappe in for 180m, while they’re at it? Why not? Varone too.

As they’d say up north… “give over”.

I‘d happily bet 5k pounds that Harry will not join United this summer. And raise it to 10k, if the deal is less than 150m, and includes Lingard.

Is there a difference between ‘doubt’ and ‘probably’ in that context. Basically saying you doubt he‘d change his mind about leaving if England win. And if they lose, that will probably push him to wanting to leave? Not sure I understand the difference?

why would he be worth less than £100m with 2 years left?

What would you say he'd be worth at that point?
I value him at circa £250m currently, because adequately replacing him would entail signing a world class no.9 plus a world class no.10, as he's currently performing both roles at once.

His value won't fall by over 60% next summer.
