Btw Kane discussed a VAR call "the other day" that bothered him, so I think it'd be safe to guess the interview was right after the Leeds match.

Well if we are going to let him go for 120m in a years time (why would there more buyers at the table? ) we might as well let him go for 140-150m now, after all it's not like him staying next season guarantees us to win anything plus do we want all this transfer talk unsettling everyone for another year.
If keeping Kane is the difference between CL qualification then it will be worth more than 30m

With more quotes out there today to me it looks like a cry from him to invest in the squad and prove to him we are serious
Agree. I think as in if we don’t match his ambitions he will leave. I think he will hold us to his word on that, sounds from ITK seem positive. But we’ve heard it all before where the sounds in and around the club are extremely positive but then we get lumped with A Doherty or Sissoko to replace outgoing players who are far superior.

Kane fucked himself by agreeing to the interview before the end of the season. It would have been simple to say: “I’d love to talk mate, ring my brother, and set a date after the season is over.”

Apparently he is more worried about distractions during the Euros than with Spurs. Now he will get distractions at both.
We had no chance of making the champions league at the time of the interview so doesn’t matter a shit.

He's a twat for putting that message up. Should (and probably does know) damn well that it will get noticed by spurs fans possibly even the media so stupid thing to do.
This whole campaign by Kane's people has been v well thought out with leaks / info being placed at good times and can't see the brother in law's tweet being part of that strategy

He just seems very immature. Probably posts on another forum....

It does as he has disrupted the end of our season and potentially cost us the £40M we could have earned from the Europa League next season.

The interview didn’t come out till yesterday when we couldn’t qualify for EL so how do you work that out?

You lot crack me up, it’s like your girlfriend sat you down to tell you in a gentle caring way she’s off, you’ve called your mate after and had him convince you she doesn’t really mean it, make her a nice dinner and she’ll stay... Denial ?

Following a briefing that his brother blatantly gave the press. I really don’t see how Kane’s push for a move can be seen as anything other than massively destabilizing to our Europa qualification campaign.

I really can’t see citeh happening certainly this season. Commercially and more it makes no sense. New manager coming in, ambitions to challenge etc, just can’t see club allowing him to strength our rivals. Three years on contract with ‘no clauses’ in this area. Just can’t see it for 12 months at least.
Evo! What is WTF for?

Yeah. I picked up on that. Clearly, though, they were careful not to mention “it’s the end of the season now” or “with two games to play” or reference any kind of time frame precisely.

I would hazard a guess that Kane is probably not best pleased with how this has all gone down. It wouldn’t surprise me if he’s agreed to do the interview in good faith and was told it would be aired at the end of the season etc. (as per Flav’s comments) and subsequently (for whatever reason) it’s been released a week early whilst there are games still happening.

I don’t have a dog in the fight to be honest, I’d rather Kane stayed, but I wouldn’t be averse to letting him leave should the right bid come in, but I refuse to accept that he would willingly agree to allow this to be released before the end of the season when it could’ve aired literally a few days later when everything was officially wrapped up.

I don’t see Kane as being deliberately disruptive - why would he be? Nothing to gain from releasing before the season ends. Makes no difference. Especially when we’re talking the matter of a few days. It’s just sabotage, otherwise.

Wouldn’t surprise me at all if he’s been slightly done over a bit with this. He wouldn’t have wanted Mason to be answering questions about him before and after games etc. It just doesn’t make sense. The board would rightly be furious with the timing.

You can tell that it is also very obviously edited in places.

We’ll probably never know for sure, but it would be very interesting to get Harry’s take on all the uproar.

Failing that, I could be reading it completely wrongly and he is just not too concerned about disrupting everything and bringing a lot of circus and media attention to the club whilst we still had chances of a finishing position that would have been mostly regarded as a positive outcome given where our standards had dropped to.
