Levy’s a funny one. He’s managed to cultivate a great reputation as a tough negotiator, and the Bale deal in particular was good. But then he’s pushed for too much for some players, they’ve stayed longer, wound down contract and Spurs got a lot less than they should’ve (Eriksen). Overpaid for some players unproven in Prem and then also played ‘hardball’ with selling clubs for established players which meant he missed out on Grealish for around 30-40m. By all accounts they could’ve had Maddison for a couple plus add ons but dragged his feet and Norwich got in first.
Sometimes you need to just get the deal done and I think Kane’s situation is one of those. I reckon he’ll be gone by deadline day. Surely there’s some decent city players Spurs could take as part of the deal
