The meltdown from Bayern and projector head if h stays will be one for the ages
Im having a fucking awful day with multiple migraines straight from the devil’s pus filled anus. But the term “projector head” has had me chuckling for a good five minutes. Thank you.

Kane camp and levy are talking now levy wants commitment from Kane if he doesn’t go now after he showed his hand🖐️

Emotional Damage
Good, this really needs a resolution one way or another. We obviously don’t want to (and realistically can’t) go down the PSG Vs Mbappe route and essentially give him an ultimatum of sign a new contract, leave now or have a season in the stands but going for free next season shouldn’t be an easy option for him. Tricky but this needs some form of resolution.

Kane and his whole team look like absolute clowns
Why? For taking his time to weigh up a career defining decision? I think he was anticipating a deal weeks ago which would have been straightforward. Now his wife is heavily pregnant and supposedly is unable to travel thus him most likely not being there for the birth. I get fans are invested from a football perspective but they seem to be completely missing the family aspect which I imagine would be of much greater importance to him.

Good - exactly what the club should be doing - he's been dangling this 'I want to leave' thread over the clubs head and destabilising things for far too long. Commit or move should be his options.

Levy can say that until the cows come home but Kane can just tell him to shove it and stay until he leaves on a free next summer.

Unfortunately, Kane not accepting the Bayern proposal doesn't equate to Kane wanting to commit his future here.

Still leaves a massive cloud over the season ahead for Ange and his teammates and I can see why the club would want to push the Kane camp to be committing to one of the two contract proposals put forward.

I also can completely see it from Kane's position too in wanting to maintain leverage and have destiny in my own two hands and not the club/Levy.

All in all, still a fucking mess!

There really is very little Levy can do. Kane is in complete control of this situation.
Agreed, we can't force him out, or force him to sign something. And he can give us all the assurances we want but he can still change his mind, that's his prerogative.

A year's extension with a clause mebbe?

I dunno, ballsy by Levy but does he have that much leverage to force anything more?

Well, if Kane is talking about all of this, he must be strongly considering staying now.
He obviously realises he holds all the cards

If Kane turns down the offer he's absolutely within his rights to just stick his fingers in his ears and run down his contract.

Probably naive on my part, but after the club has spent the entire summer dealing with this nonsense at his request, hi-jacking our entire transfer planning and Ange's pre-season in the process, only for him to have a change of heart at the 11th hour, you'd hope he'd at least sign some some of deal that means the club gets a fee for him next summer.

Flood of disagrees incoming but then don't make him first choice. Impact sub. What we worried about? Him devaluing and losing him for nothing in a year? That's going to happen anyway.

Imo he has to choose one or the other. He risks tarnishing a great career here otherwise. Things can turn sour and quick.

Has he only just noticed? Was he like 'wow babe you've put on a bit of weight'?

Not for me - I’ve been wasting my time in here trying to get my head round the transfer saga to end all transfer sagas.

The ‘miscellaneous admin’ code on my timesheets is getting a pounding later!
'Dvdhopeful (not real name), on Thursday you put 99.8% of your chargeable time down to zz/office administration - any explanation?'.

The club is no longer willing to remain uncertain about Harry's intentions. While he initially set the pace, the club has since caught up, and Harry now appears hesitant about that potential move. Spurs' willingness to keep him hinges on a commitment, which Levy is now pushing for. While this doesn't necessarily imply an impending new deal, the club is keen to avoid a protracted saga and prevent Harry from gaining leverage after the transfer window closes.

Makes a lot of sense. Hopefully they can find some sort of even ground that suits all parties.

1. Kane deserves one of the highest salaries in the PL - so that's the easy bit
2. Probably needs some form of reasonable release clause that protects the club but also Harry's ambitions. Preferably with the non-PL club price being considerably more achievable.

You'd like to think there's enough in it for all parties to come to some form of agreement that suits everyone.

The issue Levy has is that he literally can't force Kane to do anything. Harry holds the cards now. The only threat really would be to not play him and that would be a terrible look for all involved.

Hard to understand what sort of commitment Kane could give outside of signing a contract? Completely understand why Levy doesn't want this hanging over club with all the shite that will come with it in press conferences etc but struggling to see how that's avoided. Anyone help me out on this one?
