He could go on a strike, openly refuse to train, have a press conference and inform the media that he requests a transfer, and many other things - if he wanted to.
Harry Kane | "I will be staying at Tottenham this summer and will be 100% focused on helping the team achieve success."

In the latest episode of the United Hour Podcast, Nik and Imran hold a long overdue conversation about United's awful league form with 1 win in 7. They discuss a disappointing draw at Bournemouth, a not so disappointing draw against Liverpool and a crushing defeat at Chelsea - Is time nearly over for Erik Ten Hag?
Then in a special second half of the pod, Nik welcomes Natalie ( https://twitter.com/natalie_17) to discuss the fortunes of Manchester United Women as they booked a place in the FA Cup Final after a historic first ever win vs. Chelsea.
You think he would maintain a strike in a world cup year?
Why not? Levy would be crucified by English media for ruining country’s chances at the upcoming WC (by holding team captain hostage).
But Kane needs something he lacks - guts
If City have a net spend of 250 million on Kane and Grealish - I wonder if some of our fans think OGS should go if we aren't close to winning the league
a crucified Jew? I think we have been there before
Yup they will, because many are agenda driven, they will ignore almost every ounce of reason and blindly post Ole-Out regardless of any improvement. No doubt in my mind.
No clue why you're bitching about it in a Harry Kane transfer thread, there's like 3 different threads in the general forum
I replied to an open question, there’s a clue for you pal. Pipe back down.
Breach of contract surely though? I’m not sure anything he does guarantees he gets the move.
You think Levy would get the blame? I don't
Nope. And nor should he. Holding a press conference stating you're going on strike until you get what you want, despite the fact you signed a legally binding contract is knobhead behaviour and would hopefully be regarded as such.

Levy should snap their arm off
I don’t think HK is pep type forward ….. neither to be honest I see Grelish being his type of player either…..
only time will tell …. But if 150m is anywhere near true…. Spurs would be stupid not to take it

I could see him at Bayern but i think he is the kind of player who sees Germany as a stepping stone to somewhere else. He's also far too ambitious to go to PSG. I see him at one of the big clubs in a big league and becoming the face of them. Could be us, could be Madrid, or one of a handful of others. But not PSG.
I've thought all along Kane will stay and i havent changed my mind. I dont think he's got the personality to force it through, and that's why i dont think he's got the personality to lead a big club.
Agree, I don't think a lot of people realize how huge of a standing Premier League has here in Norway. For a top player like Haaland, that wants to be and compete with the absolute best, I think even the Spanish league is considered being too weak. IF Kane goes to City, the door is wide open for United to secure Haaland next summer. I doubt Liverpool is willing to pay his salary. City will have Kane, Chelsea will have Lukaku. He gets to play with Sancho, Rashford and have Ole as a coach. The only way we screw this up, is by not playing up to our potential this season, hence not proving we are a place where he can win titles.
Well we will know for sure re: kane on Tuesday 31st august. Last day of the window.
150 million, wow!!. Pep has gone mad after that CL final defeat.
Spurs should take the cash and run

Didn't he say that signing Jack wouldn't of been possible without raising 60m on outgoings? What will he say now?
150m in Euros, not the Queen's English. That's £127m, not enough.
Why are City trying to keep up this pretence that they work under the same stratosphere as the rest of us? £150m to them is not a big deal. If they want the player that bad then they should offer what Spurs want, otherwise go and find someone else.

It's 150 million EUROS - if they come back with a £150 million offer then I suspect we would accept it.
150 mill is bonkers for him. Surely Spurs have to accept that. He’s class- but he’s also getting on age wise and does always get hurt a little. For city I suppose it makes sense since they’re playing with monopoly money and he pretty much guarantees them the league for the next two years if he can stay fit. Wasn’t too bothered when they signed Grealish who is nowhere even close to being a 100 mil pound player, but Kane would improve them a lot.
They are getting closer, I said £130-140M.
You should bite their hand off if they do.
I do rate him but you'd be mad to turn that down.
City fans were once "We will walk away at anything over £100M" now the tone seems to be "Well its not my money, get it done".
I think £150 million would be a fair offer for him so yes I agree that we should sell at that price.
I think its close, maybe an add on or 2. The thing always was, City played the whole thing like amateurs, clearly talking to Kane and telling him he would have to work this from the inside, signing Jack first, lowballing with an apparent enquiry of cash plus players. The truth is they held no cards in this deal, all they did was feck Levy off, now I want the deal to be wrapped up ASAP and move on.
Do you think signing players with that money can fill the void? Without Kane what would you expectations for next season be?
Always found Simon Jordan speaks sense.
No idea mate tbh, none. Depends on a lot of things, Nuno doing well, who we sign etc. I'm excited if nothing else.
The days of the agent will be over when players realize the guy representing you actually contributed nothing and it is your performances and talent that are writing your own ticket. This isn't like the 90s where footballers were majorly screwed over by not maximizing their value and needed financial know-how and help.
Why would you make some fat toad mega-wealthy every time you move clubs? KDB etc have recently used solicitors to do their own deals and the cost was probably circa £500k - I see this being the model players use soon. Certainly not having some random idiot sitting in a room with you, scoffing all the free biscuits, then pocketing more than you earn a year for the privilege. The more I think about it the more idiotic it seems.
Onto Kane, I certainly feel we should be onto Levy. For the good of the league, he should be looking to sell him elsewhere other than City and we can pay him a big fee. Can even through in some players too.
If he relents and sells him to City - then the league is done. Levy has an opportunity here to level the field a little while getting paid. So what if you get £15m less - at this level barely makes a difference.
Why is the amount in euros when the deal is between two British clubs?
Yeah they might be numbered but lets not forget that most are trained lawyers and are specialists at negotiating contracts.
I doubt most players or their relatives would have a clue what to do in that scenario. Do agree that the solicitors route is a much better shout. Crazy to think that someone is making £40m in commission though in the case of an agent though, surely that eats into money that could be recouped by a player. That's clearly why he picks up players aged 16, buys them a Rolex as a gift for selecting them as their agent etc. It's all about getting players under their thumb from a young age, building a relationship of trust etc. Ultimately Pogba, for example is Raiola's golden goose.
I don't want Kane personally, as crazy as that sounds.
Matter of time before he's a City player

There is a school of thought that there is a secondary reason why City are targeting PL players. In a nutshell its to do with their impending PL punishment that their lawyers are trying desperately to stop and keep out of the newspapers.
We know city have been cooking the books. Die Speigel email leaks covered all that. UEFA had a statue of limitations for actions the PL doesnt. So PL havent punished city yet but most of the PL wants to.
City by spendig alot of money on British players can say, look our spending is good for the PL. It drips down the pyramid i.e. us buying grealish from villa etc. The idea is that City end up winning some support from PL clubs when the sentence is decided. Thats the theory anyway.
What is fact is that City are fighting the PL like crazy to get any punishement made null and void and are spending alot of money on lawyers to try to stop PL from punishing them. They already aren't cooperating with the PL tribunal that has asked for documents and emails. City refuse to give them. They have gone to court over the selection of the independent tribunal members twice now and had their case thrown out twice now over tribunal member selection.
Don't be deceived by all the money they are throwing around they are a dirty club. Rotten to the core.
No state, MP or Royal Family member should EVER own a football club, period, no mater their colour or creed its just fecking wrong. City fans will call you a racist or a bigot, but can you imagine is Boris bought Spurs?
We need to adopt something along the lines or Germany, no its far from perfect but it gives the fans at least some control over THEIR club.I don't know where this idea that Pep has a particular kind of striker comes from.
This is a manager that has used Ibrahimovic, Lewandowski, Fabregas, Messi, Sterling, Goetze as striker. He won't have a problem with Kane.
You guys will sell for less. Reckon £120-130m.
Reports say City are readying a bid of £127M, that wont be the final figure. Again just my opinion but I think it will be in or around £140M with all the addons.
Zero chance of that
It's true, though they'll only get done for prior seasons in the current court case. Presumably they'll get a retrospective points deduction, a massive multi million pound fine and be stripped of their titles in 11/12 and 13/14.
It'll be embarrassing but I don't think it'll harm them too much in the present.
Don't see Grealish improving them much. Kane is a different matter though, we'll need to be thinking about 100 points for the title if City sign him.
