Graham Paddons Beard 2,450 Posted August 3, 2021 36 minutes ago, Yellow and Green said: Clearly this gentleman's agreement has seemingly been interpreted differently by both sides. A gentleman's agreement means diddlysquat, unless Levy gets what he wants. He can quite easily say "Yes, I did say that you could leave... at a price. That price wasn't paid, so you have to stay". A contract, on the other hand, is legally binding. Kane can't go anywhere without Levy accepting an offer. They signed a legal contract (with lawyers/agents, as you so cleverly mentioned) as H Kane and D Levy. Which bit do you need help with? Many thanks for your offer of help. I think you have misunderstood what I was saying. I was agreeing with you that Kane signed a 6 year deal and largely has to live with it .. you have then missed (in spades it would appear) my ironic points, again not aimed at you but at the situation in general . A gentleman's agreement is not a contract (well it can be but only in very specific circumstances) , and the idea that two sophisticated parties would now seek to rely on one is nonsense.

Bill 1,788 Posted August 3, 2021 6 minutes ago, Rich T The Biscuit said: When I have time to find it I'll dig out the bit where you said that a player who leaves one club would still be paid by that club even after being transferred to a new club on a new contract. Good luck with that I would suggest you check your posts and how you persistently twisted what I said when you were initially shown to be wrong. When a player/manager has their contract 'paid up', it does not mean that all due monies are handed over there and then. The usual procedure is they receive what is due over a number of staged payments. With a manager, this can mean that any payment due in regard to his contract settlement can be reduced by any future earnings, should those earnings occur during the residue of his settled contract. That I thought was readily understood. However you choose, and still do, to misrepresent it as a player still being paid, when a contract has ended. 1 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Overpricing a player so publicly will send a message to players looking to join your club that they don't care about you and will just hold you to ransom with ridiculous fees. Do you think Harry Kane will be worth £160m in January or next summer? Do you think they will get much mileage out of him next season? What do you think the impact on the rest of the squad will be? Spurs could be incredibly damaged by this if it's allowed to kick on past the end of August. Kane isn't worth £160m, Saha isn't worth £100m. It is a very dangerous ground for clubs to go down IMHO. I'm surprised that there hasn't been another Bosman style case yet in this regard. Forcing someone to work for you against their will... surely wouldn't go down well with workers rights etc? In either case, Kane will be sold for much less than that. Whether that be now or January or next summer, and if he remains at Spurs, I very much doubt he will be at his best and no doubt there will be some unrest in the squad.

This is a case of who cracks first. Put yourself in Spurs situation, he's on a long term contract and why would they want to sell your best player, clearly the contract has no get out clause and Kane was happy to sign it. Player valuations have no logic, it's what a club either thinks they can get for them or based on previous sales or are there to deter other clubs, which one of these Spurs are using is anyone's guess. If you're Kane and you want to win stuff or earn more money then why sign the new contract, well he did that because he wanted the stability of a long term contract, which was his choice. Put yourself in Man City's position and they clearly think he's a player they want but surely £160m on a player who is 28 is madness and they will know that even though money is no object, but it's not just £160m, it's £160m plus god only knows what in terms of wages for the next 4/5 years. One of these is going to eventually crack and I suspect it will be Spurs, but not for £160m. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
