What a way to tarnish yourself. Same happened to Rooney, club legend and rightly one of our great players but for me his legacy is tarnished because of the transfer requests.
Harry Kane | "I will be staying at Tottenham this summer and will be 100% focused on helping the team achieve success."
- Thread starter Samid
- Start date
Harry Kane staying for another year. Spurs winning their first 2 games. United dropping points to Southampton. I think a certain someone has grown tired of his gap year in the Indian mountains.
it is important to hire a good agent, but even Raiola can't do magic with that contract. I highly doubt Raiola would advise him to sign a 6 year contract without release clause.
As expected Kane will stay with Spurs this season. He is making millions of dollars every month so he will be fine.
Poor bastard.
If Harry had half a brain, he'd have demanded a release clause added to a new contract the last time he and Levy agreed to another extension. Levi obvioulsly may have refused at the time but then time would be working for the player and the chairman's position would get weaker with every passing season. Kane could have just played out the remaining years and walk as a free agent while still in his prime or force Levy to sell him with little time left on a running out contract.
After all the shit Levi pulled over the years I'm genuinely shocked players still expect something different from the man. Regardless of whether you think his hard-arse reputation is good or bad for the club, one thing you can say about Levy is that he's consistent.

I guess it might be more a case of worrying he's been playing that many games for so long & does have injury issues most seasons. Players now easily do 60+ games a season if there are internationals and they do well in cups, there's just too much.
I don't buy this idea of him being finished but I do think players aren't looked after when it comes to getting enough recovery/rehab from injuries. Issue for Kane is simply he signed a stupid contract and he has to live with that, 2024 is a long way off in the short career of a professional footballer.
I don't see Levy did anything wrong here. Both the club and players need to respect the contract. Yes Kane's agent did a poor job and that is it.
This is terrible news for us. Because City will now be in for Haaland and money talks when your agent is Mino Raiola.
If he suffers another ankle injury this year I don’t think any team is going to be interested in him next year for the price that will be demanded from Levy meaning he might have to stay at Spurs longer.
Yeah they were offered Laporte/Silva as well.
A lot of people in here with unresolved issues concerning Kane 
what??
More like Daaaaaned
Glaston
Rashford played an inhuman amount of games last year and even he didn't hit 60 games!?
Kanes injuries are overcooked. He didn't miss that many games at all to injury. I think people who just adore Haaland are overcooking a narrative against Kane
Is Glaston coming back from India?
Meh. I'll take Kane or Haaland next year. Kane's fee should be lower and Haaland has a release clause. City will be favourites for either, but I'd be happy with their leftovers.
Naw, feck that, Haaland will be the world’s next superstar, Kane a very good striker but not world superstar level..
I don't think he will be boohed but a lot of fans will never look at him in the same way again, I am one, I will support him but this "he is one of our own" BS is gone.
Haaland is a pipedream IMO. He decided to join Dortmund despite Ole personally going to see him. I can't see him joining us this time when you have City, Chelsea, Madrid and possibly Barcelona in the mix. I'm with you, I'd rather have Haaland but can't see it happening. Kane, on the other hand, isn't a bad fallback option and has always been the type of singing Manchester United have been in for and had success with.
Ultimately I think Levy was right here because you can't take out all context from a transfer offer. Sure he might have committed to a 100m number a few years ago, but in a market where Lukaku and Grealish go around that number, Kane has to command a higher fee.
Part of me was hoping Kane would go to City this year so we get a clear run at Haaland but it wasn't meant to be.
City are the only real contest there - Madrid can't really pull off Mbappe + Haaland simultaneously, Barca are still broke / focusing on youth and Chelsea have Lukaku.

I agree he wouldn’t be a bad fall back not at all but after flirting with City I’d love nothing more than for us to sign Haaland and him rip up the league with a big smile on his face..
Want to just ignore the fact we wouldn't agree to the stupid release clause his agent wanted or does that just not fit your story? Dortmund was also without a doubt the right move for him at that time too, it was the logical choice.
Gary Neville certainly will be pushing it
All we need now is a goal this weekend and Kane kissing the Spurs badge to complete this character arc
City won the pl without one, and Chelsea the cl without one I believe.
Last season Kane had 49 apps for Spurs & 16 for England = 65 apps
Very hard no doubt
I hope City go for him again next year, so we can get Haaland, for me really not happy this deal didn't work out simply because City might reconsider making a move next year.
This is rather embarrassing for Kane and his brother agent.
Nothing new for Kane. He swore on his daughter's life about getting an extra goal to his kitty.
He also did not turn up for training and said "dont want to get into specifics" when he didn't get public support.
And anyways, he should have been embarassed to make his brother his agent. Got him to sign that s**ty deal with the devil.. err.. Levy
He did what?

Edit: Before I forget, Spurs put in an official request to move the goal from Eriksen's name to Kane's name. That was double embarassment
Agree with this. There is a minimal chance of Haaland joining us when he already turned us down for Dortmund and, even if he did, he’d be agitating for a move within 2 years. Kane is the dream signing for us and will still be next summer as we should still get 4-5 years out of him at top level.
Stupid for Spurs. He is a declining asset and a player that doesnt want to be there. 130-150 is a good deal in this Covid market. They could spend the cash wisely and end up a better team. For example - 60 Martinez, 40 Saul if Man Utd, Chelsea dont go in for him, Traore 40 mill.
So this crazy contract he signed at Spurs has properly bitten him on the arse, as it should have.
Absolutely brain dead decision that was, why on earth he signed it when the world was his oyster, truly bizarre decision.

Has it been confirmed that City bid that much?
Would Spurs really turn down 150 million for a 28 year old player who wants to leave and is arguably not world class?
Daniel fecking Levy! Just screwed us over here. I was so hoping Citeh get Kane. Oh well, we await the Haaland auction next summer.
Of course they did not bid 150m.
PR at time “look at how loyal Kane so different to other players these days “ and he thought it wouldn’t matter when the time came that he wanted to leave.
Most importantly if Pep really thought Kane was that player who would make a difference in the CL sf or final etc I think City would have paid the £150m
Romano said 130. So maybe not quite 150 but still a sht load
