Who said there was? Twitter isn't the only means the club has to say something. It's bad enough that they've said something to a journo who's managed to get a question in somehow but to put a tweet out saying what Stone said they said would be hilariously embarrassing.
What? I'm not saying there was at all. That quote has been tweeted by more than Stone so nobody actually knows where it came from it seems.

Love Harry and I mean this in the nicest possible way, fuck what he wants to do. He leaves on our terms or when his contract is finished.

All this nonsense feeling sorry for him, he has been paid huge money and been a fantastic servant, but that still doesn't mean we should do him a favour.

If City want to slap £150 mil down then fair enough, but otherwise he stays put or goes abroad. No sale to any other side in this country, don't care about the money.

Kane doesn't ask for a move unless he has got something lined up, and it's only going to be one of the Manchester clubs.

People saying city, but I wouldn't be surprised if it's United.

If Kane wants to get angry at anyone this summer for not being able to move then he needs to look at himself and his agent/advisor. To sign a 6 year contract in 2018 was stupid, there was no need for it from his point of view. He put all the power in clubs hand. Levy will not be bent over at any stage for a player and that was known when he was signing a contract that would cover his best years.

No club will be able to pay 150m+ that his goals are worth to us so he better man up and live with his decision and the consequences of it.

If Kane didn’t want to leave then I would seriously question his ambitions. I held out hope that he would be our top ever goal scorer but he’s never winning a big prize for us in the next 4 years. He’ll go away, win some silverware then we’ll pick him up again at 31 with no ankles left and see if he can get close to Greaves’ record.

The press conference tomorrow will be interesting. Also the corrupt sky will give kane motm regardless of how he plays just to ask him more questions

Kane playing against us and scoring will be a heartbreaker

Disagree mate. He doesn’t seem the sort to rock the boat now. As Ali Gold said, he’s probably not enamoured with everything at the moment, but I don’t think he’d instruct an agent (knowing full well it would leak) or do anything himself to make a headline about what will obviously be a heart-wrenching move for him at some point.

I just don’t think the stories are accurate - the underlying sentiment might have some truth to it.

But from being concerned about the situation to actually leaving is a big step and isn’t one for this Summer in my opinion.

I don't know if he's actually briefing people that he wants to leave, but I'd genuinely be more surprised if he wanted to stay than if he wanted to leave.

I still don't think he'll go this summer. The club knows they can force him to stay and he'll remain professional.

It's next summer we'll be forced in a corner when his value starts to drop and he won't sign back on.

My point is not that it’s untrue, it’s that if it is true it is fluke on sky’s part and that they have as much access to Kane’s career aspirations as the family of hedgehogs in my garden.

And if it is true, and he does want out, he needs a lot of unlikely things to fall his way to get a move before next summer anyway.

Sorry to be a pity party pooper.

I don't necessarily believe that Sky have got anything solid.

I don't necessarily think he'll leave.

But I'd be very surprised if he wanted to stay right now.

He’ll give the new manager a year. And we’ll look forward to Jim White looking at his Nokia 3210 this time next year ...

If he’s so desperate to pop his trophy cherry, we should loan him to Man City for a season.

Let him win a couple of trophies there then come back and play out the rest of his career with us in painful mediocrity, Alan Shearer style.

If that's the point we have got to we as a fan base really need to wake the fuck up.

A real air of inevitability about this. I have been fortunate enough to have been a season ticket holder with my oldest son (now 17) since the Sherwood season and then the start of the Poch era, and I have always been proud of the fact Kane was one of our own and my son has watched Kane in the team he loves producing some wonderful memories over the years.

However i might be seen as controversial here, but if Spurs get £120m+ for Kane (in current market conditions a tough ask) then it might work out best for both parties, my reasons are as follows:

1. Kane is approaching 29 and has a few miles on the clock, he is not a Ronaldo type athlete that will necessarily drive into and beyond his mid 30’s in peak physical condition.
2. All modern statistical data shows most players decline from 27, not the previously held belief of decline staring at 29-30 years old.
3. I don’t subscribe to the theory Kane is in the form of his life right now, that was in the last two seasons at WHL, he gets nowhere near the same amount of shots off per game now. His mobility is severely restricted in comparison to those years and the 1st season at Wembley his ruthlessness was higher.
4. Kane cost us £0 and has been a wonderful servant to Tottenham, the money could start the rebuild for the next decade. Alongside getting rid of the likes of Dier, Aurier, Winks, Davies, and Doherty etc. that said I have no confidence Hitchin being able to rebuild the team with £200m available to him.

Overall though, it’s going to be a sad day watching Kane play for City against us at the Tottenham stadium. That is the only transfer that could happen or make sense from a financial and sporting perspective. I had a similar feeling as a 10 year old when Hoddle left Spurs for Monaco in 1987, you felt sad but kind of accepted he had earned the right to try something new.

There is no statement anywhere on the OS

That doesn’t mean they haven’t spoken to journalists. It’s telling that Spurs - normally as quiet as a mouse when it comes to issuing any form of confirmation or denial - are briefing within minutes of the story breaking.
