The pressure for the second penalty was a lot higher as there was barely any time left, you could see it all over his face. I was convinced he would miss at the time and felt it was ridiculous to have a player taking such a high stakes pen against a keeper he'd been playing club football with for a decade. Massive mental disadvantage knowing your opponent knows you inside out.But he missed a penalty in a world cup semi final mate (after already having scored one which gets ignored of course).
Every year I jump on the muppetwagon and always end up disappointed.
His mistake was signing that stupid contract. I don't see any reason why he should kick his toys out this summer. If Levy is not willing to negotiate with a rival, that's fine. Kane will sign a pre-contract with someone else in six months.Wrote this before. Kane is a ****. Levys bitch. I cannot fathom why he would just keep being bent over. He should be where Haaland is right now - 40/50 goals + the treble. How he can be ok with this is beyond me. Yes I applaud being loyal to your club. But your club also owes you some respect. I can only think that this is paper talk and haggling. He will leave Spurs I'm sure of it. This summer he has the opportunity to go to Real Maddrid, Bayern and United. Heck even PSG. Next year who knows. He should be throwing the biggest tantrums in the world.
According to the Guardian today, we have ended our interest in signing Kane. Smoke and mirrors?
Sorry to disappoint you but there is no way we are pulling out on the Mount deal
They both ghosted a champions league final. Haaland also ghosted an FA cup final too.Key difference is both Haaland and Mbappe have already proven it on the biggest stages.
We're playing Tottenham away on 19th August. If you thought signing Kane was unlikely before, it'll be impossible now.
Levy will never sell before this date, and United will have moved on if the saga gets dragged out past it.

One happened to play for Spurs against peak Liverpool and the other the most stacked squad arguably in history against an average Inter side.
Meanwhile Kane ghosted UCL group with Marseille, Sporting and Eintracht Frankfurt. Then ghosted knockout phase against Milan.
I'd say he has a lot to prove everywhere outside of EPL.
Agree he's nothing to prove45 goals in 76 European matches. 55 goals in 82 International matches. This is getting ridiculous now. Just look at his record before you type utter drivel.

You guys just don't understand that standards for being top striker have changed since the 90s. Stop spending so much time inside your EPL information bubble and look around.
EDIT: Actually you don't have to look around - just look at Haaland and realize that you have completely different standards for him than you have for Kane.
Think he's gambling on Kane signing a new contract.I don't get Levy. Make £100 million and rebuild than lose for free

I mean he was stupid enough to sign a new contract last time round, so who knows with Kane. He might also just accept being Shearer MK II, breaking the record and not winning anything (though Shearer did win the PL with Blackburn, but that aside he also won feck all).But he must know that isn’t going to happen. It feels more like burying his head in the sand and just putting off (a by then much worse) problem until next summer.
Footballing wise Levy is pretty useless but I can understand him not wanting to sell Kane. £100m simply doesn’t replace what he gives us. Look at the same incident with Bale, we basically spunked most of it up the wall, bar Eriksen. I don’t know personally what Kane is thinking, but I’m pretty sure he will stay and assess his options next summer when it makes A move on a free the most beneficial for him. The same clubs will be in for him even though he’s getting on.
Kane is a world cup golden boot winner and has 45 goals in 76 games in European competition for his club.
I run a retail business mate, I understand market value. The point I was making is that if Levy said to Kane that he could leave next year provided he gets an excellent fee, but then prices him at something way above excellent, in the knowledge that no-one will meet the valuation, then that is disingenuous. As I said though, more fool Kane for agreeing to it.
I keep hearing Spurs fans say this about how it’s better to hold on to him as you won’t be able to sign someone as good to replace him but is it really? I mean he’s going to leave next summer for free that’s a definite, yes he may help you secure CL football next season but he also might not. Surely it’s better to take the £100m and back the new manager in a rebuild than to see him walk out the door for free next season and have to rebuild anyway minus the £100m you could’ve had?

100% it’s better to cash in now. Levy is gambling on convincing Kane to stay, but that’s a hell of a gamble
Incredibly doubtful Spurs even makes it to top 4 next year. This is a costly gamble for Levy and one he will almost certainly lose. £100m is a lot of money for a club like Spurs to invest
This is why he is a terrible chairman and so easy to negotiate with. You know exactly what he wants to do (masquerade as a big club) and delay selling his players. Just don't bid for his players and let them run down their contracts. He will then try and get players to sign 6, 7 and 8 year deals but they won't as they know it will ruin their chances of joining a team that actually win things.100% it’s better to cash in now.

If only he ran an accountancy firm.We have money, the club invests money, this idea we don’t is again totally unwarranted, our income has skyrocketed over the last 20 years. Again Levy has no need to sell, Harry has done his time, and we have reaped so much from him. I’m no Levy fan anymore, but trust me he will have done the numbers on this one, it’s the only thing he really excels at.

I have been of the opinion for a long time that "he is a tough negotiator" is utter rubbish and that he is a detriment to Spurs. Combined with watching him on that Amazon program at Spurs, my conclusion is that he is clueless and overawed.
