Not to mention his wife is due to give birth in 2 weeks time so H most likely definitely wanted this deal concluded early if it was gonna happen. Could be that Bayern have fucked him off dilly-dallying with paltry offers through the whole of July and he's not arsed about going there anymore.

If it was as likely as Bayern thought, Kane would have told them a number that would have got it done. Same with City 2 years ago.
We aren't saying he can't go but we aren't letting one of the best players in the world and THE best player in our history go for anything less than what we want.
I'd bet a nut that he understands that. Just as much as he understands he can do whatever he wants in a year.

From my extremely prestigious ITK Knowlodge that i posses I am now able to say what will happen -

Date - 8th Aug 2023
Who - Fatty
Latest update in the HK Deal - Bayern will need to meet the terms that Levy has set, if they do this then he will go to Germany
If not then Harry will stay at Spurs , he might sign a new 1 year deal with a release clause , or he might sign a new long term deal with or without a release clause , he could just stay though on his current contract and then we reassess the situation in January.

Fucking hell this ITK stuff is a piece of piss, just got to cover all the bases, now make it rain and pay me the money!!!!

In todays market, 30m is 15m 10 years ago. We used to happily punt that kind of money on hit n hope players.

But do you seriously think that makes it 'fuck all money'? Do you think Levy sees it that way? Would we want anyone in charge of an asset we care about to think like that?

If Levy makes a mistake with Harry (*), Gift, or any other potential incomings or outgoings, then it will be an error of judgment, it won't be because he thinks £30m is 'fuck all really', no one should think of such huge sums of money like that. Perhaps you didn't really mean that, perhaps what you meant was '£30m for x is worth a punt as it could have a great upside both football-wise and consequently financially', which of course can be true of any potential signing, and is why we do indeed sign players on that basis (several of them in recent years and very recently - though of course you can't sign all of them!). Hence whilst for me it remains a very stupid thing to say that €30m is 'fuck all really', perhaps that's not really what you meant. :)

(*) I've no idea what would be a mistake with regard to Harry - I can see both sides. Some people seem to be suggesting that it's £100m or zero, but that's pretty disingenuous. Harry immediately makes any team better, including us. 'Better' normally means more chance of success (not guaranteed of course, but more chance). Levy will presumably be weighing up the increased likelihood of increased revenue as a result of increased success as a result of keeping Harry, along with the (albeit slim) possibility of him signing a new contract, versus the £100m we could have now (or in various instalments). Surely that's what business is all about, particularly when it comes to investing in new assets (or disposing of existing ones) - finding a balance of (perceived) risk and (potential) reward that suits your appetite.

I have to say as someone who has never really understood the ITK thing despite loving Spurs/football, I really don't know what's worse. The absolute morons pretending to be in dialogue with a multi-billion pound organization whilst wanking themselves into a slimy stupor in their mums basement or the bigger morons who believe it.

Well we will never know as he never played!
Think it’s a shame and a real blight on how we treat players. We have wasted a year of his career all bcos of an egotistical Dino. However thought Ange would at least give him 45 minutes?

The Djed Spence transfer from Forest has shown to be a complete waste of time, and I bet we don't make any money from it,

Spot on, it really isn't rocket science is it more a case of groundhogging. H wants the move there's a price that will guarantee it happening and the buyers won't pay it.....yet, maybe, I don't know.
Even someone as thick Harry's Bro can see it is a repeat of the MCity farce and somewhere along the line so will Herman.
