There seems to be a little bit of consensus brewing that he will stay, as there is no indication that City will up their offer to something approaching reasonable, HK played for us today and why would he do that with a record breaking transfer imminent and its too late.
All of this makes perfect sense, particularly given where we are in the transfer window. Replacing HK with 9 weeks to spare would be hard enough, and with 9 days, its pretty much impossible.
And yet, yet yet………I have no faith that this club wont do something really really stupid, and sell him with 11 minutes of the windows remaining

I meant more from him knowing the deal was accepted. It wouldn't have been accepted months prior, but you might have an idea of how it'd pan out. Earlier you call it, the higher the risk of it not happening.
It's a bit like how people say that if the BBC report it, it's got legs - if someone (like that guy) isn't speculating, and is only calling them when it looks like they're about to happen, it adds a bit of credibility to the claim. As has been said, he's put his cock on the block with that.
I guess we'll have to see what happens next week.

At this point in the whole process I'd expect Levy to stand firm.
By all accounts it appears bridges have been mended between Kane, Nuno and the fans. This coupled with time running out in the window surely puts our price even higher than before, or just completely off the table if deadlines have indeed been passed.
If we sell to City now we might get the money but we'd have been played. They could have offered the money at any point in the last two weeks.
Again this is Spurs so it's fair to expect the worse but it feels like today was quite an important step towards him staying.

City must be the easiest team ever to be 'ITK' for. Once they have interest in a player they usually get them.
For some reason with Kane they seem to be making it a lot harder for themselves than ever before. I don't think prior activity applies here. This seems very different to their prior dealings. They are trying to rip away Daniel Levy's biggest asset and thus far seem to be going completely the wrong way around it.

The geezer is a WUM, according to a load of City sources.
Is that just a paragraph copy and pasted from the last 3 months and stuck on the front of a match report?

Seems like that's not the case when scrutinised. Alexis Sanchez, Jorginho and a few others were cited as examples of how city aren't stubborn with transfers.
Took them 2 seasons to replace Kompany properly - despite what they achieve as a team, there's plenty that the fans can be genuinely irritated by, in terms of how they go about stuff. Spend lots of money on shite spontaneously, yet dawdle when it comes to signing important players at times.

Maybe this will be another one to file with the above?

I think it's hard to call. They could be stalling until they can be confident of putting a good package together - needing to sell first.
Alternatively, we could be stalling until we're "ready" to sell. Been mentioned before that Levy has never pulled the trigger on a big sale until the final week.
I think it's safer to keep "open" about it, as I don't think it's impossible he goes yet.

I will be having nightmares this last week about that we accept Citys 150m offer and go to punt of 75m on Vlahovic that is worth 30-40 and 40m on Adama that is maybe worth 20 and end up on another Albanian run in the UCL...

No idea of his reliability, but I think we're now all of the opinion that £150m only gets Man City a seat at the negotiating table. If they want coffee then they're going to need to put some more numbers on that.

He describes himself as a “Financial Football Student” (whatever the fuck that is) in his bio so probably safe to say he’s not reliable.

Financial Football student... Don't have to post every tweet that mentions Kane to City by some nobodys.
