Harry Kane

[Yid-ol]

Where is this useful snippet matey. Can’t find it amongst the 30 pages of absolute tripe on this thread

Guntz posted the link to Twitter (X) or what ever it's called now.

I wish Kane took the stance of publicly stating he wants to leave because of ENIC and Levy. What would they do?

then we lose all leverage? Great


edit: missed the "because of levy/enic"
it would be funny tbh

We also have no ideas what options will present themselves to Kane next summer if he stayed for the last season of his contract here. There could be a merry-go-round of top strikers...

• PSG - Mbappe is on his last year of contract too, and he is angling to stay the last season (PSG couldn't force him to accept the frankly ludicrous Saudi offer) and move on a free. Would they want Kane to come in as star striker?
• City - we know that they wanted Kane a couple years ago. Haaland filled that hole, however Haaland has spoken about wanting to go Real Madrid. City could sell him there for 150M+ and get Kane in for FREE.
• Real Madrid - have just lost Benzema and are now eyeing up Mbappe. I mentioned that Haaland could be a future possibility. If they don't get Mbappe, then Kane on a free will be attractive.
• United - strong PL option with realistic chances of winning silverware and keeps Kane in the hunt for PL record
• Bayern - if they can beat the rivals to Kane's signature they will want him again, this time with no Levy cockblocking the deal.
• Saudi $$$$$$$$$$

I am speculating, however the general principle is Kane will have more attractive options next summer than just Bayern, so he may actively want to stay at Spurs for one more season.

Cue us finally agreeing a 100m fee with Bayern on deadline day and Harry refusing to leave

meanwhile Ange is still having to use the likes of Dier, Sanchez, Davies, Tanganga, as his other CB in the first eleven. Because we are waiting for the Kane money to invest.

This PR briefing from Kane’s camp is a masterclass.

Pretty much says either strengthen the team significantly so we can push on or sell me before the 13th. Do neither and I leave on a free.

Puts all of the pressure on Levy.

If we “push on” he’s gone next season regardless. I think it’s 2-3 times more likely he joins Poch next season on a free than there is him signing a new contract with us (Even if by some miracle we got top 4)

I know this view is shared by many but I find it fascinating.

Bayern are one of the biggest clubs in the world. Their 2022 revenue was about 25% higher than Spurs. They will be in CL for the foreseeable future.

They currently have net income of about €50m in transfers this summer. (100m in sales, 50m in purchases).

And yet people also assume Spurs can afford an additional £80m spend on top of the existing £100m+ already committed this summer.

They have higher expenses though - bail money, legal fees, bribes, etc. for the board members

Charlie Kane masterclass i’ll be damned

Levy would rather sell than let Kane walk

I'm not so sure on that, Levy is a stubborn little bugger and I wouldn't be at all surprised if he thinks that he can convince Kane to stay.
I'm not so sure he can, in all honesty but I kinda like his determination.

If nobody meets Levy's price, Kane stays not matter what happens in the future.

Which, as fans is surely good for us. TBF, I imagine that most fans would be dubious at Monsieur Levy doing what is needed to persuade Kane that the ambition is there to keep him beyond next summer but we live in hope.

Don't rule out Barcelona who LOVE a free transfer.

Considered among the better sources for Bayern.

As it should be. Our greatest ever goalscorer is saying he won't force a move away and would consider staying, despite us on the cusp of yet another rebuild and Levy is still unwilling to do the basics.

 

[hughy]

Absolutely delighted that if he leaves he seemingly wants to remain on good terms with the club. Gives me more hope that if he stays this season and goes on a free he wont fuck off to Chelsea.

This is Kane doing what Bayern wanted, no? They need him to turn up the pressure on Spurs. As far as I can see, him setting a deadline pressures the club to accept the paltry offer from Bayern or risk losing him on a free.

He might not be openly saying he wants to leave, but imo this is snake like behaviour. He’s not doing this out of respect for the club, his teammates or the fans.

I'd got it in my head Harry wanted out (as i posted a few hours ago) and when i read the headline from that piece, i read it like you have - that Kane was actually putting pressure on Levy to sell, otherwise he'd be off for free in 12 months...... but maybe you didn't click the article and read it fully ? as the last two paragraphs (if taken as part of a briefing from Kane camp and not just the journos opinion) then it's actually a positive for us , and his head isn't elsewhere (as i had wrongly suggested) and there is still some hope ?

I don't see it that way myself.
I think he just wants to start the season hassle free and knowing where he stands.
A statement like that isn't going to pressure Levy into accepting less than he thinks Kane is worth.

 

[Albertbarich]

I'd like to think this statement is in part to Harry wanting to support his teammates and Ange by helping them prepare for the season whether he is there or not.

 

[EastUpperDK82]

Come on... this is embarrassing from Bayern now...

 

[RobjDerby]

Surely this is yesterdays offer, if that number includes the add-ons.
Its no change

 

[jay2040]

You wouldn’t care if he ended up at Arsenal or Chelsea for free? I find that hard to believe but each to their own.

If he ends up there then obviously he is not the legend I had thought he was and he can fuck off so would not care.
