I think we have walked away but if Bayern bid Levy's magic number and it is structured right he will listen and then fuck over another manager. The fact is this should of had a deadline of the 31/07 but Levy never learns. There was a reason Ramos got 2 points from 8 Games. The fact is Kane is irreplaceable especially for where we are now.

Mate; Berba was 15 years ago...... For many reasons this scenario is completely different.

He & Fergie fucked us at the 11th hour and as a club with far far less clout than we do now we had little option to fight it.

(You just know that Berba would have been exactly the kind of player to sulk and phone it in for 6 months to get the move he wanted anyway..... He prove that by the way he handled his desire to go to Man U.)
 
Sadly, I think last season we absolutely were. He scored over 40% of our team goals. More than any other team in the league. He was often world class when the team around him was bottom half.
And also, sadly, we will never rebuild whilst he's in the team because he makes up for all the terrible dross. I thin you and I are on the same page....
 
Maybe its 150...I'm sure Levy has a number that he wants. Its just a question if Bayern are willing to meet it.
I still think we should walk away from negotiations, Levy is making a clear statement that he is prepared to keep Kane and let him walk away for nothing. That means we don't really need Bayern's money and should get get the Tapsoda and any other deals done.

Yes but selling Keane, Berbatov and Defoe in 6 months and the only replacement was Pav. I know Commolli was DOF at the time but you cannot say we were not incredibly stupid with our planning. The fact is selling Kane and relying on a Gift or Richarlison on the eve of the season will be the most egregious failure in Levy's stewardship of the club.
 
Spurs have the opportunity to:

Great: Keep Kane who gives in and signs a new contract
Ok: Sell Kane to a continental club we'll only play a meaningful match against deep in the CL stages for £100M
Tragic: Keep Kane only to see him sign for Saudi North/Saudi London for free next season and push us down the PL pecking order making CL less likely while we have to watch him celebrate winning trophies over us for years to come

As a Spurs supporter you really feel comfortable that option #1 is as, or more, likely than #3? Really?

I didn't say #1 was more likely than #3.....

In this instance, for me, it's about the stakes; not the odds.

....There's more potential upside to #1 than just him signing a new deal (see my OG posts on the matter).


You think differently; like i said I"m not trying to change your mind......

Levy is only concerned with the general perception that he's a wonderful businessman. It's all an ego trip. He doesn't give a fig for Harry. Harry's future or Harry's legacy. The behaviour of an egotistical narcissistic self absorbed psychopath.

The Brennan Jonhson stuff us weird!

We already have Kane, Son, Richrlison, Soloman, Kulusevski, Veliz AND Perisic for those front 3 positions.

one game a week.

Honestly, there's no room for him - all for offloading Rodon and Spence to Forest.

Tbf, we don't really have a proper right winger and I assumed that's what he was?

Solomon and Porro can play there but their best positions are left wing and right wing back.

Plus, he's HG which we need. I don't mind him, he's really quick, but the price would need to be right. Not some of the fees banded about.
