“You would say Daniel Levy has broken a gentleman’s agreement” Pundit says Kane will not sign a new Tottenham deal

By Bruce Grove -

Harry Kane will not sign a new Tottenham contract under any condition after feeling let down by the club, reckons Kevin Phillips.

The striker told Tottenham that he wanted to leave at the end of last season and had hoped to join Manchester City in the summer transfer window.

However, Spurs played hardball with the Premier League champions and refused to allow their top man to leave them.

Kane appeared to be trying to force a transfer when he failed to return for preseason at the agreed-upon date.

His failed transfer was the main talking point of this summer transfer window, but he eventually stayed in a huge win for Spurs.

The striker told TalkSport that he has no regrets over his failed transfer and has a clear conscience as he now looks to help Spurs in another campaign.

Former Sunderland man, Phillips believes if Kane’s conscience is clear then it means truly there must have been a gentleman agreement between him and Daniel Levy.

He reckons the striker will not sign a new contract and would instead look for a move away again in the next summer.

He told Football Insider: “I heard what he said and yeah, reading between the lines, you would say Daniel Levy has broken a gentleman’s agreement. If Kane is sleeping easy at night he is obviously laying the blame somewhere else.

“We don’t know the facts but to hear that from Harry says a lot. I’m pretty sure he is hinting towards a gentleman’s agreement being broken.

“Harry may not be happy about it but he won’t throw his toys out of the pram. He will knuckle down and do what he does best which is score goals.

“We will see what happens come the summer. I don’t see him signing a new deal. I think he’ll be angling for a move again next summer. I’d be very surprised if he extended.”

Kane ain’t unhappy nor has he got the hump. Media rubbish.

Does KP know any more than we do? Opining on something he knows little about.

KP makes no sense. IF Kane wants a new contract with a guaranteed release clause, he’d better agree to negotiate one. If not, his existing contract extends quite some time and nothing changes

I suspect that Levy would have certainly accepted a bid of the value that you mention and I suspect that price has sailed off into the sunset never to be seen again but tell me, how can you make a bid for anything if the putative seller will not speak to the potential buyer? That’s why I think Kane’s got the hump.

I hear your point but conversely, surely without a bid, what is there for THFC to pick the phone up for if Manchester City don’t even test the water?
We’ll never know but what if Manchester City had bid say, £140m (+a.o’s), would that have got Mr.Levy’s attention (IF true he wanted £150m)?

Oh Kevin Philips please just stfu & stop making a complete clown of yourself.

“Reading between her lines….”
” We don’t know the facts….”
“I’m pretty sure….”
“We will see what happens….”

All mean he’s guessing & willing to speak his disjointed-thinking rather than simply say, “I, like nearly everyone else, simply don’t know”

I wonder if there is a different slant to this. I certainly have no inside track on this but I suspect that there was a gentleman’s agreement between the two of them based on how the club performed last season. I don’t doubt that Levy is far too clever to put a number on what they would accept but was Kane given to believe that the club would listen to an acceptable offer? Surely what is most relevant to this is that if you believe Guardiola’s version of events, City never made an offer to Spurs as Levy wouldn’t countenance him leaving and wouldn’t even pick up the phone to speak to them. Perhaps that is why Kane was and I suspect still is unhappy. Anyway, that’s my two pennorth worth!

I see Kevin, so Levy should have accepted any offer for him, small change from the back of the sofa, as they had a ‘gentleman’s’ agreement? I would imagine that if City had met, or exceeded Levy’s valuation, he would have gone!

Once again someone who knows nothing about what has happened puts there two pennies worth in

Guesswork at best

Daniel Levy agreed to sell the premier league’s top scorer and creator to the world’s richest club . . . for whatever they felt like paying.

There are far too few articles centred around the “thou” of
