What evidence is there of them tapping him up?
City aren't under any pressure, but neither are Spurs. They can make Kane be a ball boy for 3 years. Would it be smart? No, because he'd be a very expensive ball boy. Can they do it? Yes, because he's under contract for 3 years.
When it’s all said and done. Money makes a fool of loyalty, integrity and legacy. Kane might increase his chances of winning a trophy at City. But he does not guarantee he will. So the move is all about Money.
We need proof like when van dyke got tapped up by Liverpool but, that only delays the inevitable
Well, thats face it we have all got bored of hating Sol Campbell..... 
Very disappointing NBA style move. Not winning titles so you "take your talents" to Manchester City. And what does it prove if he goes there and wins? Nothing much because you're going to a team which can finish top four every year just on the strength of their financials. If he had a deal with Levy to be allowed to leave Spurs then it should be honored but not to go to another Premier League team. Let him go anywhere in Europe he wants but not to a major competitor. If they feel like they have to allow Kane to exit it might be in their better interest to allow him to go to a European team for less than they could get from Manchester City. And if he's offered the chance to go to the continent and doesn't want to then he can stay and help Spurs build back. Henry VIII believed in "the divine right of kings" but there's no "divine right of Manchester City" to their choice of the best players under contract to other squads.
To what end?
Then we have an unhappy Kane, no money to replace what he brings/improve the team and likely him leaving eventually for much less money.
That's not really right, though. I'm pretty sure Charlie Kane will claim to be confused because he seems to be as useful as a third nipple.
Levy's fined Harry!
Levy should fine himself for being fucking useless.
I'm inclined to think the same. Guess we'll find out tomorrow hoping they have practise every day.
We were 2 million away from that happening. Fortunately we rather invested a few million more and got Ndombele.
One of our own…….
On a serious level, has there been any official contact from Spurs or Kane. If he has thrown his toys out of the pram, then fuck him, i love him but fuck him. I think there's more to this. Just doesn't seem like him but what the fuck do i know? Im a Yid now and forever if he goes ill look back with nothing but love, but i wont forgive the fucker for going out like this.
What every and anyone can agree on, or should agree on, is that this madness of £100/£200 mill players is destroying the national game; It’s first and foremost a working mans game brought about by working men-most of whom are priced out of football today-especially pensioners,and thats the reality.
Instead today we have supporters fixated with monopoly money figures- openly expounding that this bloke or that bloke is worth X hundred million or Y hundred million - it’s pathetic. What ever happened to getting behind your team- the team being those that want to be there rather than worrying about someone that wants out and these fanciful sums of money?
I’ve got to the point that I really want him to leave and also want him to be successful. The one and only thing that could turn me against Harry Kane would be for him to wear either the Chelsea or Woolwich shirt.
Ok so the nuts and bolts of this is you think we should sell for one price and I think we should ask for more than City value Grealish. We disagree.
If Kane only wants City it's irrelevant how many clubs bid for him. This isn't an auction, they want Kane, Spurs don't want to sell - they need to pay the asking price or look elsewhere. They're not out bidding themselves but deciding if they want to pay the asking price.
As for Mod he's the only example of a prized asset with years left on his contract, who wanted out and was wanted by a wealthy club who we made stay. The only one. Worked out pretty well and he went abroad too for a big fee so not really the exception.
Sold Berbs went backwards, same with Bale. Are we going anywhere without him? Again it's about what we value the player at first and foremost. One minute Levy is accused of penny pinching on signings, next minute he should selling Kane for less than he's worth. Not for me . 50 or 60 million more is massive and the club should be holding out for it.
Eriksen was handled badly but it was a different situation as I've already explained.
Honestly the Guardian article is irrelevant, not being rude, but it's not convincing me of anything to do with this as you would like it too.
You would've sold Kane maybe a year or two ago but the damage that would've been done to the club would've been massive in my opinion. Would've damaged our reputation and probably led to our managers walking out not to mention players. Affected recruitment too and destroyed morale amongst staff and fans. Especially as the player wasn't wanting a move. It's no way to run a club in my opinion.
We won't agree on this but I enjoyed the discussion.
Wouldn't it be funny if Kane eventually leaves and we go on to win the League
Quit smoking crack, mate.
