I'm not too much in favour of leaking our targets, unless they are well down the line (I still have nightmares of Willian leaving his Spurs medical half way through it), so hopefully this one too far down the line to be highjacked if it is a genuine target


Darren says: "Spurs been looking at Gift since early June." That's when Orban's been on vacations, so it sound a bit creepy if Spurs had scouts watching him then :cool:
 
I'm very torn over how I want the Kane saga to end.

On one hand, he doesn't seem to fit very well in Postecoglu's system, so to sell is the smart move. On the other hand, he's
Not that stupid that he can't learn how Ange wants a striker to play, and do it well. And there is a chance if he stays that he will fall for Anges approach and sign a new contract

But the money, we can start the badly needed rebuild with the Kane money and honestly some of the players rumoured looks pretty interesting. But N'dombele also looked pretty interesting. Is this the time to start trusting Tottenham's recruiting? Probably not.

I don't know.

He already knows how Ange plays, he's been playing that way in training now all of pre-season. If he wanted to renew he could've, and saved Ange a massive headache. If he's staying it's to run his contract down.

If he’s willing to go to Bayern, that makes me think he wants a change, any change, and he’s not signing a contract regardless. For close to 100M, it’s an easy decision to sell IMO. If it was 60M yeah perhaps keep him for a final season and hope he does do well and extends but 100M is 1/4 of next years revenue and it will help with a refresh of some exciting players

It would be an easy decision if I had any trust in our recruiting. But I don't.

He knows how Ange wants to play and still keeps lurking in midfield. So he hasn't learned. And he hasn't seen any results. There is still time for him to renew.

He kept to the box vs Lion City Sailors. Under Conte last season we've had our best start to a PL season ever, yet no renewal, how good should Ange start the season so Kane would consider renewing? The answer is that he wouldn't, and it's just a political leak to keep the fans on his side while he clearly went behind the club's back and met with Bayern.

I think it's more about the end of the season than the start. He needs to start hoping he can win a title at Spurs, I think.

But as I said. I'm torn. It's probably best if he goes now. And Spurs can splunk the transfer money on some shit players so we all can be miserable again by Christmas.

PSG have already agreed the personal terms with Dembele and they've triggered the buy out clause, so he's basically a PSG now
He'll get injured doing his medical

The problem is that he could already sign a pre-contract with other teams in January.
 
It’s not in our best interest if we end up getting nothing because he overplays our hand. Which appears to be a very real prospect.

Is dragging it out to the final days worth the uncertainty for an extra 10m? Or the risk of getting no money?

It’s small time chairman stuff. Levy loves it, loves his reputation as a tough negotiator and revels in it.

And other teams must love sticking it to him when the shoe is on the other foot. And how much good does it actually do the club?

We’ve heard pretty consistent reports about the bids. They don’t seem unfair. If they’re all wrong fine, if they aren’t then well..
Welcome to multi million pound business deals: there is always the threat the buyer will pull out. In fact that is part of the leverage that the buyer has. Levy is an experienced negotiator and i don’t recall a time when he lost a deal from trying to « win ». You might disagree with how he goes about things but I think he always acts with what he feels is in THFC’s interests and that includes getting the best deal possible for the club. He got great fees for Berbatov, Modric and Bale which are the only similar big deals I can remember.

Also, before you say we have credible reports that are concerning - we don’t. We have Paul O’Keefe saying the figures we have heard are a long way off. We have journalists talking about deadlines and then saying just kidding no deadline. We don’t have a clue what’s actually going on apart from serious, extended talks.
