Harry Kane

[Bluto Blutarsky]

Reports filtering out that the hold up is to do with a financial settlement with Tottenham and Kane, not Kane having second thoughts.

I’m pretty sure @Trix alluded to this yesterday???

I mentioned this earlier and told not to overthink it because it was a German translation…

Is there any other precedent to a transfer being agreed and then the player decides he's unsure? It's like bizarro Odemwingie.

especially when personal terms had already been agreed. This is all very bizarre

Why the bloody hell do we need a financial settlement with someone who wants to leave??

Maybe we owe him bonuses etc?

Missed this. What kind of financial settlement?

Is there often financial settlements involved from the selling clubs side? I can only think of when teams pay a portion of the wages. Loyalty bonus, maybe, but didn't he hand in a transfer request two years ago?

Wait, would going on Sky and saying you'd like to move and then not showing up for training not count as a transfer request? Charlie's got us on the fineprint.

Because he didn't actually hand in a transfer request, he is entitled to some of the fee

 

[djhotspur]

I was thinking that, if your paying around the £100M mark, and you get the slightest feeling they wont be 100% comitted to you, surely you would pull the plug straight away

Not if it’s a top player when there is no one close to his quality available to Bayern? Surely you’d rather wait and see…

I bet we’re asking Bayern to cover that. Amount for purposes of transfer is [X]. Amount for additional items not included in transfer fee is [Y]. With Y just happening to be the amount H would be due for not handing in a transfer request.

Something like that. Don’t shoot the drafter.

Don't mark this as Informative - this is me pissing about with things you see drafted that are an obvious money work around. (Usually trying to swerve SDLT - not on my watch thank you very much).

Ironically

Loyalty bonus

 

[Timberwolf]

Surely that kind of thing couldn't be the stumbling block could it?

Why then all the talk of Kane leaning towards staying after the offer came in?

Feel like those types of things would be a formality not a huge issue

I'm pretty sure he didn't submit a written request. Went nuclear but wanted his loyalty bonus of course.

so we have been haggling over the last £10m for week, so we can give it to Kane

 

[smithym]

Load of shit. Loyalty bonus my arse.
Pay him a fuck off bonus and top up his Oyster card with a tenner.
Twat.

Why are people turning on Harry now? Have I missed something?

People are weird.

If Kane want's out that badly, he'd waive that agreement.

I know this is off topic but just thought I’d say “hi” from neighbouring Andover

 

[BorjeSpurs]

He’s going to Saudi.

 

[Timberwolf]

Well if we really are just haggling over contractual stuff then surely he's gone...
