Unlucky Harry. I guess you're stuck to your hated boyhood club 
God football journalists...they know this after 20 minutes of the news breaking apparently.
...but your "OK" with Harry leaving, right? Oh Guids!
Excellent first post, mate. Where did the quote originate? Whoever wrote it was spot on, apart from the final phrase.
I am for the right price and only if we have the time to spend the money on a proper, well thought out, highly targeted profile of players that both Paratici (and Nuno) have had the time to sit down and carefully execute and agree on. So, Jan or next summer is my pref.
Welcome to Spurs Lionel
Who told us that though? Charlie Kane? Sky Sports?
We don't know what was said, but if a person is dumb enough to believe a 'Gentleman's agreement' in the business world, especially when dealing with the likes of Levy, then you can't really have any sympathy for them.
If it's not written down and is not legally enforceable it doesn't mean anything.
On the flip side. If Messi signs for PSG then City might become desperate enough to pay what we want for Kane.
As much as I like the idea of it....... You don't get to be a billionaire by flushing 150 million down the toilet.
I have stated many times that I think it is in the best, long-term interest for the club to move Harry on. I am not hung up on him leaving. After the Neymar deal clubs should be aware of the machinations of state-sponsored clubs (don't think City would prefer to do it this way since...well, England and they are under stricter expectations of comportment to PSG). So Levy's had a year to dwell on it, knows Harry can buy himself out, etc etc etc and yet here we are.
But again, I think this deal has been done for some time and none of this Webster stuff matters. Levy is just doing his end of window thing.
100M offer is reasonable. Though the deal is probably done, more than that with addons, and this other stuff is window dressing.
Soooooo. Did he turn up today?
We absolutely need Champions League football next year. A last minute replacement in the next few weeks isn't going to get us there.
Messi won't go City probably. They still want Kane.
Thing is Kane thought what he did would work but him/his agent = amateur hour. City seem to want him but have done nothing since Kane's incident. No improved bid etc..
Apparently they'll only go up to £130m but Tbh I suspect Spurs would want maybe nearly £50m more than that.
If Man City make that offer, we'll sell him. This is why Kane should take his anger out on City rather than us.

Harry Kane Loses Whether He Stays at Tottenham or Joins Manchester City
It’s perfectly sensible for Kane to leave Tottenham for Man City. It’s also utterly predictable and rather boring.

Here's the original article. It's from an American publication so you may not find it the most in-depth in terms of context but I thought it hit on the general feeling around the saga pretty accurately.
Mate you don't know what's gone on behind the scenes but I struggle to imagine in the middle of covid last year Levy said yeah Kane you can leave to go to City for less than you're worth. Always common knowledge a move to another prem team costs more than a move abroad. Had Madrid or Barca offered 100mil Euros even we could consider it. 100mil to a league rival with mega buck, do me a favour
