The comparison with Gerrard and Kane is much more appropriate than the comparisons you make with Campbell and Cole - Like Gerrard, Harry Kane is a talismanic/legendary figure at their home town/boyhood club and they already have a legacy there.
Kane goes Awol

Gerrard/Matt Le Tissier is what happens if you stay. Cole/Campbell/Van Persie is what can happen if you leave.
The first two are loved and didn't win anywhere near what they could've done. The latter three are hated but won a shitload.
That's up to Harry, I cant answer that, he went on world wide TV saying he was worth £100M then City bid £100M, isn't that convenient. Its not him wanting to leave that I have ANY issue with its how he has gone about it, why not show up for training and strike before even handing in a transfer request?
Now with City most likely buying Grealish, he can only hope that they still have the money to buy him after all his antics
Wha? Strange logic
Levy been a total disaster last couple of years. Why wouldn't the owners replace him?
Meanwhile looks like City are turning the screw by leaking more that they'll sign Grealish within 48 hours...
So Kane can hand a transfer request in and agitate to get his deal done. Or bottle it, like so many finals...
Ball is in his and his brother's court.
The ball is most certainly not in Kane and his brother's court - they have made a total balls of this.
He effectively is the owner.
Campbell has won a roughly similar amount to Gerrard.
And of course its not an either/or situation. Spurs fans aren't annoyed because he wants to move, the overwhelming majority understand it. Its how he's going about it and the stage he's deciding to do this as well. We're not at deadline day with Levy turning down a 200 million bid. We've turned down one bid that pretty much anyone reasonable agrees is below market value.
Bale is loved by most Spurs fans , who totally understood his desire and also won all the trophies. Nobody hates Carrick. Most fans don't have a particularly strong opinion on Berbatov. Nobody hates Modric or Teddy or Keane.
For what it's worth, Campbell isn't hated because he decided to leave. He's hated because he spent months talking about how he was going to stay, sign a new contract, couldn't face playing against us and stopped us selling him when we were financially much poorer. He could have moved to Barcelona or Man Utd but he declined.
Not because we're angry that he wanted to win trophies.
Gerrard still won the CL and other silverware though
Course it is, hand in a transfer request, sue the club, say Levy lied publicly and exactly what the side agreement is,invite him to sue them if they're lying?
They can do loads, if they're prepared to. If Kane makes it clear he ain't playing again abd will destroy the dressing room then selling him is the only option.
City pushing buttons. So let's see what they do.
Yeah don't agree with a single thing here.
If they didnt Im sure they would magically find a way of it being available to them.
Still got my fingers crossed for a deadline day swoop with Martial going the other way.
You've watched to much Suits.If not, he looks like an even bigger idiot
Couldn’t he blot up that huge ink stain on his desk?
ITs his brother, and I am pretty sure he's using a selfie stick in this one.
Or this one where you can see how the Saudis seem to have paid him off with a river of oil. By all means he's a bit of a dick, the type of guy Levy will grind to dust.
Spurs wanted more for carrick
Neither changes what we were trying to achieve.
The point was around the ridiculous sympathy towards Guardiolas teams when they don’t want to pay a fee. Any other club in the world the general attitude is “this is the price, take it or leave it” and that is fair in popular opinion. Barcelona or City don’t want to pay the money and it’s common discussion to be like “well they’ve offered a fair amount” like the bollocks spouted in this thread. The fair price is Tottenham’s price, nothing more and nothing less.
[/QUOTE]
What we did in the end, of either examples, hardly changes what we did in the process. For years we were loathed for how we did business. Where is all this sympathy for Guardiola?
He wanted out last summer, that's two years after signing a new contract, which pretty much says it all about how badly the Keanes fecked themselves with that 6-year contract and no exit clauses. Could've done a 3+1, could've insisted on an emergency door or two related to club performances, or just a release clause. Nope, went for a longer than normal contract extension
They have unlimited funds and FFP doesn’t exist/isn’t enforced. So they might as well just buy both. If you can afford £250m on two players in one summer, you can pay off whoever is supposed to be enforcing FFP.
Sorry but everything you have said there is not based on reality at all.
Ink? Thats Saudi oil my friend, bought and paid for
.Levy wouldn't need to. Kane's under contract, unless he's got this side deal in writing, Levy can just say "no it isn't" then keep quiet and let the media/social media do his talking for him
Half of the forum seem to want it. Saying this is Covid year and Levy should accept 100M offer.
If Madrid came in for Bruno and offered less than you thought he was worth - would you say Utd should sell because 'covid'?
Why do you keep ignoring the fact that Levy is part-owner of the club?
Don't ask me. I think Kane for 160M is a very fair price, Covid or otherwise.
160million may well be a fair price sure - City haven't offered anything near that.
Kane is 29 next August 160 million is not a fair price as you say

I don't see anything wrong with what Spurs are doing. He decided to sign a 6 year contract, no one forced him to do so.
He went on record saying he is worth £100m, not the club.
Levy had a gentleman's agreement, no one knows what was said, he could easily have said, if the right bid comes you can go... Spurs have said it for about a year now that the right bid is £150m.
This is just a way for Kane to try bring the asking price down to £100m, the club is well within its right to ask for that sort of money because there is no way they replace Kane.
Its obvious City have put him upto this, they play dirty.
Campbell won two league titles with Arsenal. Gerrard didn't win any.
It doesnt matter what you or me think is a 'fair price' - it only matters what Levy thinks is a fair price.
Is he??
Kane is not 30 next August, why do people love adding an extra year onto his age?
He owns 29% of Enic, Lewis owns other 70% ish.
That doesn't mean he's the correct person to be running Spurs day to day necessarily.
Jesus wept, what is it with you guys. In the Jack thread someone wasn't allowing him a 26th birthday.
29
edited my bad
Why would they sue the club? For what?
Because it fits the narrative - he's ancient and injury prone - neither of which are actually true.
Gerrard has won one champions league and one uefa Cup. Campbell hasn't won any European trophy.
They've won a roughly equivalent amount of domestic Cups.
