Why would he join us? Seriously?
Besides, he's had one good season in his career so far.

I said weeks ago that all things considered, I'd take 100 million.
If we end up with that plus a decent player on top then even better.
He'd join us because we are a bigger club than Fiorentina. No other club would be able to afford 50 million euros fee for him, and Fiorentina are under financial pressure to sell as his contract will run out in 2 years.Why would he join us? Seriously?
Besides, he's had one good season in his career so far.
Ha ha ha!! How. By getting him to sign a new contract like Kane.
Ok, so Modric, an exception to the sulking player rule, was made to stay and played well. The one example you have of your point. Fair enough.I mentioned Mod as the only one WHO WAS MADE TO STAY. I explained this clearly. Bale and Berb were not made to stay. Please respond to what I say, not what you want to hear.
But Eriksen was made to stay, 1.5 years longer and it didn't work out but you want to discount this answer because in your estimation 'no one was desperate to take him'. In CE's mind he was priced out of the market and there were takers for him in the 3 previous windows. This seems a more apropos example than Modric in regards to Harry. And no one really seems 'desperate' to take Harry either or they would have just paid the crazy money. Doesn't that stand to reason?Not getting into the Eriksen thing, it was handled badly but it's not comparative to this situation as no one was desperate to take him when he had 3 years left. Again already said this.
I never said Levy handled it well once did I? I wasn't incorrect, or if I was, quote me please.
Well, what future do you see? We have already been absolutely awful with Harry with awful EL losses and qualifying in bulgaria etc etc etc. Do you expect worse with him gone? I have been sticking to the facts.You're becoming hyperbolic and seem to be less interested in having a discussion as trying to win an argument. ' My goodness what dystopic future do you see '? Seriously? Please can we just stick to the facts of the discussion and what we've said? There's really no need for flowery bullshit that has nothing to do with what I've said.
What did keeping him do for us positively? I've already said I would have been open to selling Harry for a few seasons now. How much and what would it have done for us positively is just conjecture at this point. But I can answer with facts what keeping him did for us these past few years...Europa Conference League, 2 managers gone, and mulitple midtable finishes, shit football, etc etc etc. Indisputable facts.When would you have sold Kane and for how much? What would it have done for us positively? Not saying you're definitely wrong (how can I on something that will never come to pass) but interested as to what you think was wrong with what I said (about the damage to the club) which you've not directly answered (not for the first time).
Doesn't matter that they wouldn't have agreed. They'd be wrong and I'd have been right as time has shown. And we'd have a younger, more threatening player and a more dynamic team fleshed out with the Harry money.No one would've agreed with you on selling Kane and buying Haaland. Where you advocating signing him 2 or 3 years ago?
But no quotations I assume? I am not saying it didn't happen, I am sure something was talked about (probably prior to covid), but I was asking precisely what he has said. We don't exactly know what was talked about. I suspect - I am pretty sure actually - what was said was that Levy would sell Kane for a fair price. Kane seems to think £100m is a fair price.
I note the wording that Kane's team is reportedly using. A gentlemen's agreement by its very definition is not legally binding. To be honest, if someone tells me they have a gentlemen's agreement, I think of them as stupid.
i kinda get that... but no one died right?Not turning up to work in an attempt to force a move to a different club when you have three years left on a contract that pays you £200,000 a week to kick a ball about, is in my eyes, wrong.
He'd join us because we are a bigger club than Fiorentina. No other club would be able to afford 50 million euros fee for him, and Fiorentina are under financial pressure to sell as his contract will run out in 2 years.
Hes only turned 21, how many impressive seasons should he have had by now?Why would he join us? Seriously?
Besides, he's had one good season in his career so far.
What have I made up? Fucking hell mate you have said Levy hasn't honoured an agreement that you urself have said you don't know what it is.... Put down the shovel.
hes an atheist!!!
Not sure that's good for the business model
In hindsight yea. Coz they were able to get their move in the end and achieve what they wanted. If they had ended up with nothing, theyd hate the bald fraud.The thing with both Modric and Berby is even though Levy kept hold of them both have respected him and said they have no problem with what he did in hindsight.
Which club can afford 50 million euros for Vlahovic?We'd only get him if no other top club wants him, even if he wanted to leave Fiorentina and Serie A.
So you haven't said Levy reneged on an agreement then said you didn't know what it was? Do you not see that's fucking obtuse?You said that I was Kane FC over Spurs and would follow Kane, you have said that I make arguments to be obtuse.
Stick to what I have said and you have been fine, its when you start going down the personal road making up things about me that I haven't said, thought, implied.
You're a braver man than me, Gunga B......At the end of the day, Harry doesn't owe the club anything. Where would we have been without his goals? For some reason some people seem to think that because he has played for the club for a long time now and has an affinity with the club that it means he has to stay regardless. The club has shown no ambition and any top player worth their salt wouldn't want to hang around.
