Harry Kane 0 Daniel Levy 5
Harry Kane stands alone as a genius of our time.
Forget Einstein, Mozart, Shakespeare, Messi or Ronaldo, Harry Kane has surpassed them all.
He has achieved the impossible.
He has united Spurs fans behind Daniel Levy.
I know, it's truly incredible isn't it, something we never thought we'd see.
OK, so there is the odd plastic around, grimly clinging to their out of date agenda, desperate for failure, desperate to be proved right, every town has it's village idiot, but you go on social media and the anti-Levy fans are behind him.
Daniel is playing a blinder.
He has a player under contract.
He sets a price we all believe is fair and the Dubai Financial Dopers offer £20m cash + players they value at £80m to make a grand total of £100m.
That's 50% of his valuation.
What world was Harry on when he could think he would go for a pittance?
How were we supposed to replace Kane and rebuild with that offer?
It was reported at the time as £100m and nobody knew whether it included or was in addition to players, most guessed it was in addition to a selection of players.
It wasn't.
Where have City gone from there, to £95m + add-ons, which is where this £125m figure comes from.
That isn't enough to even start a conversation.
So Daniel Levy is not having a conversation.
So Harry Kane is saying this is what I think I am worth and he is the one who decides what is good for Spurs, not Daniel Levy.
The club should go along with HIS perceptions, but he is looking at the situation from his perspective and not Tottenham's perspective, which is quite rightly, that you are worth a lot more than that.
One of two things will happen.
City will have to stump up the cash, which means selling the players they can't sell or Daniel Levy saying, sorry fells, but you have left it too late.
Tottenham have to replace Harry Kane and if our target goes elsewhere because City haven't coughed up the money for us to buy him, then Kane shouldn't be allowed to leave.
The deadline we gave City was Friday.
One presumes we have told Dušan Vlahović this.
A name in the frame you may not have heard is Alexander Isak of Real Sociedad, 21-year-old (22 in September) Swedish international (26 caps, 6goals, 2 assists) striker.
The Telegraph article was nothing more than PR spin put out by the Harry Kane camp to try and shift public opinion to his side by playing the victim card, ala Megan Markle.
The facts are simple.
1. The only thing that matters is what you have written in a contract
2. Kane asked for a specific contract that Tottenham accommodated
3. The contract is only halfway through, has 3 years remaining, thus transfer value is at it's maximum
4. Harry Kane should have included a release clause if he wanted out or not signed it
5. Daniel Levy has honoured any Gentleman's Agreement, he has said Kane can leave
6. It is up to Daniel Levy to set the value of Kane, not Kane, not Man City
7. It is not Spurs job to sell Kane on the cheap, but to sell at as high a price as possible, that's basic business practice every club engages in, even Man City
8. Pay the fee and he can leave, simple, honours the Gentleman's agreement
9. Harry Kane did not have permission to take an extra week off
10. No other international player had an extra week off to 'quarantine'
11. Being 'unfit' to start the season is unprofessional and against his contract
12. As England captain he is a role model and should be setting an example to children everywhere
13. No fan begrudges him a move, just not a cut price move
14. Whatever fans gauge his value at is irrelevant, Daniel Levy sets the value
15. Harry Kane has not put in a Transfer Request because he would lose his Loyalty Bonus pay-off upon leaving, which is an agreed percentage of his wage
16. By and large, Harry Kane has united the fans behind Daniel Levy, who is doing what he has always done, maximise income!
17. Kane has been and is being badly advised
It is incredible.
Here you have a man with a winning mentality who pays attention to every detail about his body and his game to become one of the best strikers in the world.
Off the field affairs are a different kettle of fish.
If he wanted badly out then he should have hired a PR team and then he wouldn't have had this amateur hour shambles and wouldn't be crying Megan Markle crocodile tears to newspapers.
I understand he has now actually done this, bit late Harry, a bit late.
Selling Kane to City will probably win them the Champions League and virtually guarantees them the Premier League title, so how much is that worth?
It ain't peanuts fellas.
Well that's it folks.
