missed a trick there. If he was born in Germany he could have had dual nationality and benefitted from freedom of movement to the EU.

"A child can attain German citizenship by being born in Germany even if neither parent is German. However this only applies to children born on or after 1 January 2000" - from the German Federal Foreign Office.

If this is true I can’t see Kane coming back here in the future if levy is still here.

Hoeness on the reasons behind the delay in the Harry Kane deal:

"At midnight we had a verbal agreement, but at 2:50am, the deal was called into question again. They asked again for a larger amount. Jan (Dreesen) then said: 'Not a penny more!' It took 6 hours for Levy to accept that we were stubborn about it and for the plane that had been waiting for Harry at Stansted that morning to finally take off. Harry said that morning: 'If we don't have a solution by the evening, I'll play for Tottenham on Sunday. And then it's over, I won't sign a new contract at Tottenham and will go on a free transfer next year.'"

Imagine playing for this lot. I would turn down 10 champions league trophies if it meant I didn’t have to dress up like this.

Not sure with the money they have they have too many probs in that regard. They don’t have to use the same checking as us if they don’t want to 😂

What is it with Levy? He's always trying to move the goalposts at the last minute (or so it seems). I know a deal isn't complete until it's been signed by the parties involved, but for crying out loud. There's playing hardball, and then there's the Levy business model.

If he wants to make himself look bad, that's his business, but making our club look bad is completely unacceptable.

Imagine going a whole season of healthy nutrition, and then necking a stein of pilsner... They'll all be battered after 5 mins.

Can’t understand why clubs don’t like dealing with us and we find it so hard to bring players in and ship them out - This is classic Levy, the blokes an absolute asshole. The difference between how we act as a club and a side like Brighton with their owner and Barber is like night and day, and it shows

In an earlier interview Kane said they would be looking for a house / somewhere to live in Germany, I am guessing that is still the plan, although I do wonder how well they, as a large young family will adapt to living there, even with all the money they have. Doubt Kane will see out his 4 years, expect him to do three if it all goes well or two if the family cannot settle. Don't see him back to Tottenham while Levy is at the helm, sad to say but I think he will end up at Chelsea.

He's signed up for a bunch of ego hits. Not the most important person anymore, not got fans adulation automatically, not going to have those connections with players who know his every move. Frankly it's Champions League or bust for him, and nothing else will be enough.

This is the bargain he made.
He quite clearly is

Freedom of movement isn't really an issue when you are millionaires and all his children will be millionaires. Any EU nation would welcome them with open arms.

Only one person had the interest of Spurs in mind here and it wasn’t Harry. Absolutely fuck that “I won’t sign a new contract” shite when he happily took our adulation in the Shakhtar game and stayed schtum all summer. Just a bit of a coward really isn’t he?

2 important points here. 1). It’s not Harry’s job to have our interests in mind but it is levy’s and more importantly 2) catastrophic mismanagement of the club over a period of years that leads to you being forced to either sell your best ever player or lose them for nothing in a year whilst simultaneously falling to clear out the squad and refusing to reinvest the proceeds as a result isn’t really in the best interests of spurs is it?
