*puts on tinfoil hat*

Is it really that bad?
----------------------------------------------------------------------
It’s disrespectful IMO. Grealish is training, Romero is training why shouldn’t Kane?

He’s likely still getting paid by us and should be doing his job
----------------------------------------------------------------------

Not to go all A.I. on it all - but it’s just practice.

I’d care a lot more if this was a continual issue, or he missed a game or whatever. However it’s a bloke who has literally given his all to the club, sacrificed his body, brought us brilliant consistency and is coming back off another ‘nearly’ moment. I don’t mind him having a day off for whatever reason it may be.
----------------------------------------------------------------------
A day off? Literally just had a 3 week holiday.

He’s contracted to the club and as such should be doing what the club tell him.

It’s not like city have even got a bid on the table iirc

Also it’s not just practice it’s the start of getting a ready for the season and we know it takes Kane ages to get up to speed normally.

Really don’t understand his mind set to do it. Would it really been hard to turn up do the tests and go home.
----------------------------------------------------------------------
He is laying down his marker and showing the club he is serious. If he turns up then it shows he is a walk over.

Put yourself in his shoes. He wants to win trophies. End of.
----------------------------------------------------------------------
spurs is my boyhood club, there is no way I strike. if i want a move away then I do it in a way without mugging off my fellow fans. thats me talking as if i was the one in the saga

As I say, the more you put your price up, the more you risk losing the deal. As much as clubs wouldn't usually complain about keeping a player of Kane's ability at the club, why bother when he doesn't want to be there.

Take £100m, or push it to £120m and then reinvest. No point pushing City for more if they aren't willing to pay it, they are pretty shrewd operators themselves despite the money they have.
----------------------------------------------------------------------
I would rather lose the deal and keep Kane for another season. He will get over it. He is a big boy and will eventually want to bang in goals again. He can go next season for £100m.when he is 29.
----------------------------------------------------------------------
There is no guarantee you will get £100m for him next season though. I don't know whether you think Kane leaving the club at whatever price is a shoe-in or not, but it's far from that.
----------------------------------------------------------------------

This is all academic, we will be charging £150m plus regardless of whether City want to pay it or not. £150m this year or £100m next.

£150m means we can improve the side, £100m likely means we won’t. Vlahovic and Romero will cost us £100m and we want another top CB plus Ings, so £150m will be necessary alongside the money we have already raised and spent.

The only compromise would be is Silva or Foden wanted to come to Spurs (zero chance) otherwise it will be cash
----------------------------------------------------------------------
Whereas nothing means you cannot improve your side in the necessary areas.

As the last couple of seasons have proved, the imbalance in your squad has affected your performance on the field. Yes, you keep the best CF in the league, but that means nothing when the rest of his team is falling around him as well.

You're going into next season with Sanchez, Dier, Rodon and Tanganga as your CB's (at the moment)...

Kane has spent 16 years at the club. He has zero trophies. Levy said he could leave this season if a bid comes in. Kane sees a bid come in and thinks great "let me go then". Levy still wants more. Kane is now thinking but I didn't cost you penny. You are just being greedy.

"Feck this, I'm going on strike".

SpursInsideInfo is abit shady mate.

Guys,

Something I haven't seen mentioned yet is that this is a world cup season, which gives us another advantage.

Can you honestly see Kane going on gardening leave for 12 months, on zero pay, tarnishing his reputation with spurs fans, missing out on world cup, then still having 24 months left on contract at the end of it. Even if he turns up and plays at his worst he wouldn't risk all of the above.

He's not going to Sacrifice his wages, risk missing out on the national team and most of all not play football because of this.

We have been here before with Luka Modric - "you can't force a player to play for you when he doesn't want to" the pundits said. We he did, he got his head straight and arguably put in one of his best ever seasons for us and most remember him well from his time with us.

We absolutely have all the power in this situation, this is not a unique event.

It's going to be a bumpy few weeks that's for sure and we may not see the player in quite the same light that we did before but there is still hope.

Probably bollix anyways, if we get 140 mill for him, buy Ings and Jimenez.

----------------------------------------------------------------------
So that’s a value of (transfermarkt) £40.5m for Laporte and £140m = £180.5m in total.

You’d be silly not to take that.

Why would anybody spend £100m+ on Kane next season when Haaland would be available for £70m?
----------------------------------------------------------------------
Cause only one team can buy Haaland?

----------------------------------------------------------------------

£100m would allow us to strengthen properly, £150m would. That’s Romero, Vlahovic, Tomiyasu, Ings and a CB on top of Gollini and Gil. £100m would likely mean no Ings or other CB.

Spurs and Levy will always cut off our nose to spite our face, it’s the reason other clubs hate buying from us. We would rather tank next year than not get what Kane is worth. It will be £150m + or we will keep an unhappy player

Personally I hope Spurs keep him but that looks incredibly unlikely now.

Why would he be on gardening leave and no pay?

You can only fine him 2 weeks wages for going awol, he then comes back and fakes a back injury (we had all this with Coutinho) which you can’t prove!

the first thing i do is dont sign 6 years for a club that doesnt win anything. second thing i do is wait until i have 2 years on my deal so that I actually have a bargaining position

It’s more realistic than the laughable £100m nonsense. However I doubt Laporte wants to play for Spurs.

fack the player swaps.. straight cash deal for me.

Eight managers told you to do one before you settled on a Wolves cast off

Laporte would probably retire from football rather than join the Spurs Laughing Stock fest!!

If he doesn't play at all for whatever reason he won't be playing for England. I just can't see him jeopardising that. It's the only thing he can so atm to try and force it and I can't see it doing more than strenghtening our resolve at this point

His risking his entire career and reputation over this, when all the hype calms down as it did with Modric and bale the first time they tried this, he'll get his head down and play.

----------------------------------------------------------------------
I said the the article, it has happened and happened at Spurs with Luka Modric. Also happened with Luis Suarez at Liverpool who you'd say is a much more dubious character.. he was amazing in that last year at Liverpool after he had previously done everything to force a move away prior to season starting. These are two very high profile examples.

Kane was a Gooner as a boy though, mugging off the Spurs fans is probably just an added bonus of forcing through a move to a big club.
