Ex-Spurs Player Harry Kane

Is it? How'd we do as a team last season without this mess hanging above us? Are we much different so as to suggest we will be getting top 4? Are the teams around us seemingly better? Not even remotely a 'big if' as I see it.
No we do not and nor have I suggested that. But you do find a reasonable price and try to bring the situation to an amicable ending so as not to hamper your new season. I'm sure we'll be hearing about lessons learned again next spring.
And I've laid out multiple reasons why keeping the player that wants out is not remotely good for the club...and that's why players get their moves by utilizing their leverage ie holding out.
We should sell him for what the market of 1 team will bear. Simple. If City is offering 100M then that is the deal available to be made. We are going nowhere with him and looking at another midtable finish. Better to sell and rebuild and improve our prospects going forward.
And yes, we should have been prepared to sell him for the last few seasons...and any other player with interest.
...and there is only City now. Hard to drive up the price if a club is not interested in outbidding themselves. And BTW we knew for a few seasons that Eriksen wanted out and was not going to renew. DL created that whole mess by not moving him on earlier. We were not blindsided and nothing you mention here actually mattered in his case.
Nope, he was always great. And he was the exception to the sulking player that didn't get his move...
...which is why I mention the artcle. To show you how dangerous it can be to predicate decisions based on exceptions to rules.
Sure they scout and know Haalands weaknesses, he is not yet a complete player like Kane but most likely will be in 2-3 years. City have in theory the money to buy the end product every time. Wouldn’t be surprised if they went for Haaland next year.
I think Kane combines both the number 9 and number 10 game which would make him deadly for City, he will be poping through balls to Silva and Foden from deep or making sneaky runs in behind. He can do a bit of everything.
Our fans were pretty unbearable when we got out the group stages
Was it? Place would have been unbearable.
About to get ugly, I’m afraid.
Because Haaland's clause doesn't kick in until next summer and BVB's fortunes could actually be changed with his presence so they have incentive to keep him. We will be midtable regardless of Harry's presence. But your point has significant merit as that's what would interest me.
Good he should be fined heavily.
And if he keeps it up stop his wages altogether.
If he comes back to training and respects the fans, and his fellow professionals and City match our valuation I'm sure Levy will relent and sell, but they aren't getting him on the cheap.
Yep, this is getting rather Lionel Messi. Not good at all.
Spurs are under much more pressure than City.
If City don't buy Kane they have a multitude of options and a squad that won the League going away while winning another Cup and being Cl finalists.
Spurs are left with a weak squad and an unhappy star player.
We shouldn't cave in to whatever they want but I think people are being a little hopeful in our situation if Kane stays an unhappy Kane is not a good situation for us to have for next season.
They have an agreement alright.
It's called a contract. It spells out all of the legal terms of the agreement such that neither party can claim to be confused.
Do we actually know the full story... he didnt turn up to work for one day, Something else may be going on.
If this continues and he doesnt turn up for work for the rest of the week, then i will believe something is wrong with his attitude. Maybe we are too quick to judge. Its all media talk at the moment.

I wouldn’t stay another season under Nuno either, and a bald cheap cunt of a chairman who’s not willing to spend an extra £5m to secure a very good player, so why would Kane?
A “gentlemen’s agreement” if they even had one means nothing. I guarantee Levy didn’t tell Kane “oh em gee I want you to be happy and if a bid comes in you can go” I know Harry and his brother seems a little simple minded but Levy is not. Kane needs to stop being a bitch and tell City pay up 150 mill and then he can go win his blood medals.
You know you fucked up when Bale and Modric leaving is looking better than this supposedly “one of our own”
Worked alright in the Modric case. He's got 3 years on his contract. If City pay what we ask, go have fun. Otherwise get to work.
Pep hates Raiola and Haaland isn't nearly as good a fit for Pep as Kane would be. So if they are letting Pep have a big say in the squad it makes sense that they would not have much interest in Haaland.
Plus, even without Pep I am not sure City is a team that would want or need to jump through all the hoops that Raiola would demand.

The only thing to stay for is the goals record. Which obviously can’t compete with trophies.
Just because something worked with Modric doesn't mean it will work here and it seems that in the Modric case part of the reason it worked was a promise he would go if he stayed for the year, that bridge has already been burned with Kane.
I am not saying that Kane staying will result in a disaster for us just that Kane staying because Levy refuses to sell him and not because he chooses to stay is not a good situation for us.
Don't see why Kane did what he did. I hope he gets his transfer. I however believe the person he should be most pissed off with is his Brother. He is the idiot that allowed him to sign his last contract.
A contract protects both parties. He was pretty much ensured his salary, even when he was injured. I didn't hear him complain then. Yes, he made a deal with Levy but it benefitted both parties. He played with a shitty team but that shitty team still helped him score the goals he did.
Levy isn't saying No to a transfer. I'm not a fan of him, but in this instance he is being fair. If Grealish is worth 100 mil, Kane is definitely worth 150 mil. If Kane wants to leave he should maybe change agents because I'm sure a monkey can market him better.
