He'd improve us so why not add it into the deal if we could in theory?

To what? We go back to a much higher fee or we get offered players we may not want or may not want us.

Bernardo Silva walks blindfolded into our first 11 with his hands tied behind his back.
It's not like we'd be taking Soldado
Of course he does, but I'm not saying that. Why should we help them out with a transfer so they can buy our best player? Give us the cash and we can decide what to do with it, they can keep an unhappy player and make it a problem for them. They need to give us the solution, not us help them provide one.

I agree, but that it highly optimistic. But I would take it

Nope.
What is pitiful is the unprofessional manner in which he is going about trying to secure the move, showing no respect to the club or fans, whilst totally ignoring the lucrative contract he signed.
I think most fans can accept that Kane at some point might want pastures new, a better chance of silverware maybe. But whatever way you dress it up, there is a right way and wrong way of going about it.
Just a thought, but maybe a release clause insertion into that lucrative contract would've helped his cause.
This failure has hindered a smooth exit out of the club. That's on him and his advisors.

that is on Levy to ensure that the next 'Kane' is not put in the same situation.

At which point, the dynamic of the negotiation continues to change, obviously

Well they have a wealth of talent in their squad so if they have some players there that would improve us and would be willing to join in return for regular game time then its a win win. In theory if B.Silva for example wanted to join, we'd not find many better RW/creative midfielders around that we could get.

Is Grealish better than Silva? I don't think so personally. City do business in a weird way because they have the wealth of a nation on their hands. IMO if we manage to include Silva (and/or Laporte) in a deal for Kane, that means we get players of a quality we'd struggle to get otherwise.

To what though? If Levy succumbs and let's Kane go for a lesser fee he will be lambasted. If he sticks to his guns and says X or nothing and City don't provide X that leaves the deal dead for this summer. I don't see where the negotiations go from there personally.

If we could get Silva plus a large fee, that would be incredible business.
I always like watching Silva play, he seems relentless on and off the ball and has those moments where he can change a game. Would be an incredible addition to our squad and he is still young.

My 3 year old nephew said to me on the bus this morning: “Why does Harry Kane want to leave Spurs? Sure, he’s more likely to win major honours at Manchester City, but from a moral and ethical standpoint they’re essentially a front for a Middle Eastern oil cartel, and have ridden roughshod over financial fair play regulations, to the detriment of smaller clubs and grassroots football as a whole. And in any case, his tax burden will increase massively with the mooted uplift in salary”.
The whole bus erupted into applause, and the driver started doing donuts in the middle of a dual carriageway.
Even if they do end up agreeing, how much will their heart be in it? If they want to leave within a season or 2, their value will undoubted diminish so even if they arrive as a £50m player, they may get sold on for £35m and we've lost £15m.
Player trades are rare now for a reason. The concept that a play can be traded as a makeweight for cash a club doesn't have is a concept from the 80s and beyond really.
