In terms of where Kane might go, people are letting emotion get the better of them.

There are only 5-6 teams in the world that could afford him - and 4 are in England.

Germany - none
Italy - none (in this financial environment)
France - PSG
Spain - maybe one of RM or Barça but both have issues

England - Chelsea, Liverpool,Man United and Man City.


If you take out teams that Levy “won’t” sell to then you have a buyers market for MAn City and that drives the price down.

I posted this before, but realistically United and Chelsea make the most sense for all parties. It may not be emotionally palatable but this is about business not emotions.

Of course Levy does not have to sell - but the smart move here is to consider the future of the club and whether Levy can/will spend to build around Kane. If not, it’s time to sell.

It’s pretty deluded of us to think he’d want to stay with us. He’s a bona fide elite footballer and walks into most teams at the top table.

We’re not going to be competing again at the summit for a good few seasons and half our squad are sub-rate.

Whether the money men can make the deal happen, who knows, but it’s abundantly clear that he’ll be wanting out of here.

All the cries of "Be careful what you wish for", "Dont want to do a Leeds" etc. This is what we get with Levy. A once in a generation talent that's landed in our laps who loves the club and he wants to leave. This is his legacy.
Better players from even better clubs with even better chairman than Levy wanted to leave, left etc. It's one player.

I don’t doubt that he’d want to leave if an opportunity came up, my doubt lies whether teams are going to offer £150m + massive wages in these times and for a 28 year old with some dodgy ankles

but he would have got his agent to get the feelers out. They got a verbal commitment from 1 or 2 clubs that they are willing to pay a significant amount

Liverpool couldn’t afford him imo

Do you really think anyone on Kane’s side would feed this information to Sky when we’ve got two games left to go with Europe still to fight for? He may well want to leave but he loves the club and wouldn’t ever try to damage our chances of Europe by putting this out now. The timing is all wrong.

It seems a strange time to announce this while we are trying to lure a new manager. You'd want the incoming to at least think he will have the top scorer still at the club.
unless the incoming manager is Parker, in which case this would be the perfect excuse for getting us relegated.

Ally Gold is the club’s mouthpiece.

I’ll take Dragon1’s word on this one. It sounds plausible.
This is terrible accusation, he is a reporter who very close to heart beat of the club and a Spurs fan. You don’t say that about official ITK. He us very very rarely wrong.

Yup. I think we’ll sell and waste the money on over priced flops.

He won’t obviously. He’s been pleading poverty every chance he gets this year. Just wait for his chairman’s statement next week. It will be all about how challenging the times have been and how the club will need to recover slowly.
I honestly believe hes happier with selling Kane for 100m plus as it would ease a lot of financial worries he no doubt has

Hes an accountant, he sweats over the numbers. he isnt going to sweat about a big player leaving, weve been here before.

Maybe he would rather play with de bruyne than sissoko/winks in a final?

To say it’s his fault he hasn’t won trophies is daft mate

I never said it was his fault I said he like the rest of our team choked
He has had plenty of chances to win the lot league champs league fa cup league Cup literally all of them
He like all the others in tge squad didn't turn up so no I do not have sympathy for the player/players tottenham gave them the opportunities to win them all they choked I feel sorry for the fans more

Dragon:

Kane has told them he wants to be informed who comes in for him and that he is unhappy with the clubs direction and lack of ambition

he has not handed a transfer request and will not cause a fuss but things are simmering

this summer is massive for levy as next year Kane will only have two years left and then he holds the cards
Although this sounds plausible im sure this was the stance when the Bale transfer saga began...fingers crossed regardless.

It’s also good timing in that Dortmund are lessening their stance on haaland so maybe it’s Kane’s way of saying but I’m here too
