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.
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.Hire Raiola and u get the move.
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.He played 50 games last season for club and Country which is 9 more than Haaland but sure, let's just make up a lazy narrative just because he's 29.
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.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.
Yeah they were offered Laporte/Silva as well.Biggest loser here is Spurs, that was some good money.
what??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.

Glastonwhat??
Rashford played an inhuman amount of games last year and even he didn't hit 60 games!?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.

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.
Naw, feck that, Haaland will be the world’s next superstar, Kane a very good striker but not world superstar level..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.
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.Levy is a tough nut to crack.
I hope the Spurs fans turn on Kane as it'll be funny, but they won't they'll be praising him even though its obvious he wanted out.
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.Naw, feck that, Haaland will be the world’s next superstar, Kane a very good striker but not world superstar level..
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.Haaland is a pipedream IMO.

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..Haaland is a pipedream IMO.

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.Haaland is a pipedream IMO. He decided to join Dortmund despite Ole personally going to see him.

Gary Neville certainly will be pushing itNo way are we buying what will be a 29yo with serious injury record for over 100mil. The English press will push for it though.
All we need now is a goal this weekend and Kane kissing the Spurs badge to complete this character arcKane would really struggle to come out of this looking like any more of an absolute weapon than he already has.
City won the pl without one, and Chelsea the cl without one I believe.There's no replacement for a 25-30 goal a season striker though. They are very few and far between. Yeah they could invest it elsewhere but when you lose all those goals, you're fecked.
Last season Kane had 49 apps for Spurs & 16 for England = 65 appsRashford 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
Very hard no doubtGary Neville certainly will be pushing it
Nothing new for Kane. He swore on his daughter's life about getting an extra goal to his kitty.This is rather embarrassing for Kane and his brother agent.
He did what?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
https://www.mirror.co.uk/sport/football/news/harry-kane-desperate-dubious-goals-12327450He did what?
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.Haaland is a pipedream IMO.

Has it been confirmed that City bid that much?130-150 is a good deal in this Covid market.
Of course they did not bid 150m.Has it been confirmed that City bid that much?
Spurs would be mad to not sell a 28 year old player who wants to leave for 150 million!
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.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.
Romano said 130. So maybe not quite 150 but still a sht loadHas 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?
