Ex-Spurs Player Harry Kane

Latest Spurs videos from Sky Sports

That simple, eh? Quick - and simple - math for you. Kane would likely command 400k/week and would want a 5 year deal. That makes signing him at "our" price a deal costing City 160m fee + 100m wages = 260m.

If Kane's desperate for the move AND it's not about the money, all he has to do is sign a contract at 50 pence/week, and it's a done deal, at the cheap, cheap price of 160m total. Everybody's happy. Why hasn't he done this yet? Simples.
Or hand in a transfer request,and forfeit his "loyalty" bonus.
After all,its only money,eh?...

Reading that post has decreased my IQ by about 12 points and I didnt have much to play with in the first place.

so thanks for that.
 
I can’t believe people think this is about money on Kane’s behalf.

he has shown throughout his career with us he wasn’t bothered about money until his last contract where it was embarrassing to the club we weren’t paying the going wage.

Harry wants to win things. That’s why he wants out.

Its that simple.
You cannot move to “win things”. What if he goes to City and they finish 2nd, make the semifinals of Champions League, runners up in a close league cup final and somehow crash out of the FA cup before being handed it. He’s had a good season, but won nothing. This is the reality. Great teams don’t always win.

The frankly brilliant 1986-87 Tottenham team won nothing. Coventry City did however win a major trophy. Who do you remember most ? Trevor Peake or Richard Gough ?

Kane moving might increase his chances of winning the league, but that’s all. The only guarantee is he will be paid more.

There is absolutely no reason at all that Spurs cannot win the FA Cup, League Cup, Conference League or finish in the Top 4. Will they? Perhaps not, but I can’t guarantee they won’t any more than I can guarantee City will.

So is this about the “big” trophies being the ones that count to Kane?. These are the hardest to win. City have never won the Champions League, why will they win it guaranteed in the next few years ? Liverpool beat city to the title 14 months ago, might happen again, who knows what comes next.

What does the move Guarantee ? M O N E Y. Not just for Harry, but millions for those around him too. It’s all about the money.

Nobody has a problem with him wanting to leave to win things. Most understand that.

It’s his actions that have rightly fucked people off.

He can leave. IF City pay OUR price, not what they or Kane want us to accept.
 
This is how some will spin it, no matter what happens.

Levy gets £160m
"Levy you cunt, our best player left because of you"

Levy gets less than £160m
"Levy you cunt, you've let him go for fuck all, just so you can line your pockets"

Kane stays
"Levy you cunt, you should of let him go, he deserves it and he's not committed"

Kane stays and becomes top scorer again and leaves next year for @ £100m
"Levy you cunt, we could of got £140m last year if you weren't so tight *.

And on it goes.
Why do you use every thread to make endless posts defending Daniel Levy?

It's embarrassing.

And then you wonder why many of us think he holds some kind of God like status over you.

He has more chance of winning things at a big club than with us.

We lack the ambition he has. Simple as that.

I can see no reason why his salary shouldn’t be commensurate to his peers that are in the bracket of top ten players in the world. Would you say Lewandoski or Haarland should take a pay cut to move?

People have become too emotional about this. It makes sense to sell him for the player and the club. He can’t go any further with us and we are skint. It should have been a friendly parting but Levy can’t do normal.

The melting on here is amusing but it’s more embarrassing tbh. People posting gifs of snakes saying it’s Kane. Calling him a cunt etc. Saying he should play for 50p was particularly good.

Very poor and childlike behaviour.
 
Can’t help but feel City have moved on from this deal, one day they spend the 100m (way more than they have ever paid before for a player) they offered for Kane and bought Jack, the next day Kane leaves Disney World and issues a long over due statement to explain his absence for the week and returns to Spurs today (supposedly)….
Europe’s major clubs seem cash poor right now, PSG are rumoured to be clearing out high wage earning under achievers to accommodate Messi, doesn’t bode well for him going somewhere in Europe.

So if City really have moved on, Chelsea seem hell bent on Lakaku, there really isn’t anywhere left to go? United at a push maybe, but with no one really looking to take Pogba off their hands that might be a problem…..

Liverpool are 100% Not in the market for him, and no one else could afford him, so he may well have realised a move this summer is truly over and we see a lot of back tracking PR salvaging statements over the coming days….
 
If we could get £160m or say around £120m and Laporte we'd be insane not to deal. I maintain that despite last seasons stats he is slowing up. Next season might not be great as we'd have a new young team and he will no doubt score a shed load up there but longterm, if we spend ok, it could push us on another level.

Not sure Kane has never been quick and players without pace like Teddy, Scholes and Terry go on for ages at the top. Long as he looks after himself he could be decent for a while. Obviously City will need fast players around him but they can afford that.

Still at this point £130m and Silva or Laporte I might accept.

And never Kane’s fault which will suit some on here!

Why are you so opposed(or seem to be) to Tottenham getting what they want for Kane?

Oh the irony.
Says the fella whose every post attacks Levy

As usual with the ALC, your bias has clearly blinded you to the difference between attacking those who criticise Levy no matter what and supposedly "defending Levy".

If you could highlight exactly where in that post where I've "defended" Levy I'd appreciate it.

As I've said before, I'll believe a player is moving to win trophies when he either takes a pay cut to do it or plays for the same wage he got at his old club.

Haven't seen that happen yet.
 
Why are you so opposed(or seem to be) to Tottenham getting what they want for Kane?

we have to be realistic. I initially thought that when city offered 120m for him we’d get maybe 140m.

I think in the current climate that’s about right. Harry’s great and been great but it’s clear we need to rebuild. Levy tacking on 20m on top of that is just laughable.

so we get the worst of both worlds. A player who will have a troubled mind all season, angry at the chairman for lying to him. Fans looking like idiots as they cheer him after snake and cunt jibes. And then next season provided he’s not injured we sell him for probably a lot less than 140m.

A wasted season. Resentment everywhere.

the smart chairman would have said thanks for a fantastic ten years you will always be a legend and welcome here while pocketing 140m for a player who is statistically due an injury pretty soon.

what you think is right money wise is different to what I think for the reasons given above.

I'm okay with being deemed childish, if it's coming from you. Twice now, you've gone and ended the same point with "It's that simple" and "Simple as that".

Now, THAT is childish and an argumentive point from someone not used to talking to people outside of forums. It's just another way of saying, I'm clearly right and if you cannot see it, you must be thick. It's arrogant, and I do understand now, how you're seeing a kindred spirit in Kane.
