I too would accept £150m, City have no players of value who would join us. Where is this £150m bid? If you think Harry is worth £150m why did Harry himself say £100m would be acceptable? In the history of football has any player of Kanes level ever went public with what price should be accepted?

Why would he join us? Seriously?
Besides, he's had one good season in his career so far.
No solid bid for that yet....
How low will you go; before you tell Kane he's staying?
(I'll keep asking.)
That's not being offered.
How low will YOU go?

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.
Ha ha ha!! How. By getting him to sign a new contract like Kane.
There'll be plenty of people on here shitting all over him and calling him a rat when he follows in the footsteps of Bale, Berbatov, Modric, Walker and Harry in the next year or two.
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.
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?
And I never said you positively assessed Levy's handling of the situation. I brought it up because it is what you are suggesting now with Harry, exorbitant fee or keep unhappy player. We might get stuck with an unhappy player and another 1.5 years of Eriksen performances. Not ideal IMO.
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.
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.
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.
I was not advocating signing Haaland 3 seasons ago from RBS as I didn't know about him. I also didn't advocate signing him before BVB because I knew he wouldn't have come here. But I was advocating selling Harry and others and rebuilding becasue that is how you build a team from our position as opposed to hanging on to the bits of quality you have and hoping they lack the ambition for greater things. And yes, most didn't agree with me then. Thing is, even with the benefit of hindsight they still wouldn't. And yet here we are.
Of course we don't know exactly what happened, but is there anything in Harry Kane's past to indicate that he is making it all up?
When looking at this situation who is acting out of character? Do you think Kane woke up and said all of a sudden I will start acting completely out of character for no reason?
I don't think there is anything that is legally binding and think that Kane is definitely naive for believing that Levy would go back on his word.
But it makes perfect sense that Levy promised Kane that he could go and went back on that and that is why Kane has reacted this way.
i kinda get that... but no one died right?
Mirror mirror on the wall
who is the most argumentative poster of them all
If not you, then who?
We'd only get him if no other top club wants him, even if he wanted to leave Fiorentina and Serie A.
Silly silly move today that only handicaps Kane. If City offer 100mil for Grealish, then Kane can't expect us to accept 100 for him. Why should we sell for less especially to another team in the Premier league and on top of that a rich rich club.
It absolutely frustrates me to no end this narrative of Kane needing to go elsewhere to win something. We've been in about 3 finals and a few semis, couple of league pushes. He is the main striker, failing to win something when it matters falls on him partially and he hasn't scored in any of the finals he's been in. He also hasn't got us into the finals with his goals from what I can remember.
Love Kane to bits as we all do on here but fuck me you would think we haven't got past a quarter finals the whole time he's been with us. Eventually he needs to step up and do it himself in a finals rather than this look that we are now beneath him and its the players around him are ruining it for him. It's total bullocks.
Hes bombarded his way to fitness to appear in finals in the past to literally do nothing all game now he wants to fuck off to City to finally win something with a team that is winning without him.
For me that's a lack of ambition, wanting to have a title gift wrapped rather than grinding it out himself.
Each to their own I can't knock him technically but if he leaves this season, as great as he has been and best in our prem era for spurs, he doesn't quite match some of the premier league assassins that really did it for their clubs. I'm talking the Agueros, Drogba, Rooney, Henry types. They had good players around them also but they were the talisman that never went missing in Cup finals. I've always said this about Kane that makes him that touch of the very best of the prem history for me.
Obviously speaking from a bitter tongue after today but its something I've said for a very long

Hes only turned 21, how many impressive seasons should he have had by now?
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.
hes an atheist!!!
Not sure that's good for the business modelI reckon I'll have the place to myself by September
I think he would take it as well, although I am concerned that his ego has taken a hit with Kane not coming back and he will do like a lot of posters here want to do and keep Kane to "teach him a lesson" or 'put him in his place."
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.
Also both Modric and Berbatov were younger when they got their move. So they had more chances to win things with a top team. Kane will be 29 next season, if he doesnt leave now, he wont win much in his life. We are not in a position to win anything for the next couple of years at the very least. There is absolutely zero reason for us to keep him. We NEED to sell and rebuild for the future.
Which club can afford 50 million euros for Vlahovic?
United just signed Cavani and have Greenwood. City after Kane. Chelsea after Haaland and Lukaku. European clubs don't have the cash.
Maybe Liverpool if they want to replace Firmino, but no indication they want to do that.
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?
