He’s also got a young family,I’m sure that comes into it.

Plus if I had to choose between a player happy to keep the bench warm and pick up winners medals OR one who strives to be the best there ever has been - I'd take the latter all day long.

If he stays at Spurs does he sign a new contract?
If not surely that’s worse for Spurs than him actually leaving.
I think the family may well be the primary issue here.
I have absolutely no doubt, had a Premier League club vying for the top four and playing Champion’s League football come in for Kane, and had Spurs agreed a deal with such a club, Kane would not have hesitated to go.
He would then tick the boxes which appear to be important. Winning silverware, playing Champion’s League football, overhauling Shearer’s scoring record and keeping his young family in a country with a familiar culture.
We will see, but I’m not sure he’ll go.

If Levy would have sanctioned that move to City Kane would have gone and it would have been the right move for him.
But I think we all know Levy wouldn’t sell him to an English club and I always thought he wouldn’t go to Bayern because of his young family.
We all know how much influence our wives have on our lives and I can’t think she would want to uproot her children, and they generally get what they want

I'd be surprised if they would announce the price had been agreed without being sure Kane wanted to go in principal? Wouldn't that be a tad embarrassing and an insult to Bayern? Not that I mind the Germans having one up them (Captain Mainwaring)!!

Story was probably leaked by Bayern to try and put pressure on him to go.
I still think the most sensible thing for him would be see out his contract then move for free in a year. He'll have more options then, and I suspect the chance to stay in England and get the record. But whatever he does good luck to him.

My son lives in Bristol and goes along to a few games. He sees him as decent but £20m+ is pretty premature. I suspect teams were sitting back to watch one more season of him and Bournemouth have jumped early. It's a gamble that could pay off, or not
(perhaps why it's called a gamble 
)He sees it a decent return for Bristol. Whether Bristol fans agree is a different matter of course. Hopefully he does well, always good to see young talent come through.

I’ve not seen much of him tbh,but heard lots of people “in the know” talk about how good he is.
One good season could see him go for £80m.
Or he bombs
You have to hope they have a clause in. Criminal if not.Wonder if they’ve got a sell on clause

The rest, absolutely. Bournemouth have taken the risk, he has not been under the radar. They'll be hoping they've done a Brighton.

I think the family is all a smoke screen - it’s not as if Munich is all the way across the globe it’s a mere hop in a plane
He wants that Prem goal scoring record - it’s not even the top flight record - that’a Jimmy Greaves , think Kane just about gets into the top 20 at the moment
If I was a Spurs fan I would want him to go now , he clearly doesn’t want to be at the club , he tried to leave already , take the £90mil and bring in Toney and Mitrovic as an example and build again
He is going to leave next summer for nothing because he won’t sign a new contract
And which Prem club will grab him ?
Man Utd - just spend £80mil
City - Haaland
Won’t go to Liverpool or Arsenal - maybe Chelsea

His dead ball delivery really is superb, but does he offer much apart from that?

Family is a big thing to people Phil.
It’s ok saying it’s just a hop on a plane.
But it’s just like driving 30mins for the kids to go see their grandparents,for example.

Stones, £7m, and the most lucrative sell-on clauses ever...
The sell-on clause re-entered the football supporters' vocabulary earlier this week after John Stones confirmed his £47.5million transfer to Manchester City on Tuesday.
Can’t believe Barnsley actually did good business for once with Stones.

I would love this to be true. He’s a quality player and elevates our midfield 100%. However, I’m absolutely confident Chelsea’s Lavia bid is them “ruffling our feathers” ahead of Sunday and this is a retaliatory feather ruffle.
Come the end of the window I expect Lavia in red and Caicedo in blue.

If Liverpool couldn’t pay the money for Bellingham how can they for Caceido?

Yes but that is different. Mbappe didn't want to go, and PSG never cancelled their acceptance of the bid for a higher offer
