Harry Kane | Bayern Munich player

Beayern play a high defense li

i see what you mean Kane preferring to play from a deeper position at Tottenham but i dont think he's too one-dimensional to work in Bayerns system. Even Lewa didnt just park at the penalty spot and wait for the balls delivered to him :)
Whil Bayern plays an extremely high defense line, the opponents usually do the opposite, manning the box with 8-10 players :D
Might be a chance for Harry to utilize his outside-the-box shooting.

He was talking about the Bundesliga defensive lines - not of Bayern. But as you added, too, they usually do not do that against Bayern.
 
I can see this happening, Bayern aren't letting up with the pursuit so they must of had positive talks with kane himself and usually when Bayern set their sights on someone they usually get it over the line
 


Kane is an amazing player, but over 100m£ for anyone whose contract is running out is woeful business.
 
Bayern Munich would be an extremely attractive proposition for Kane. Good wages and pretty much guaranteed at least 1 title every season with a chance of winning the CL over a 4 year period. He will also have plenty of runners around him to play his through balls when his legs start to get heavy. He'll also have the luxury of being rested before the big CL games.

No one really cares whether it's the Bundesliga - it's still a major title and only the top players get to join Bayern.
 
Under these circumstances we won't be able to twist Levy's arm into agreeing to a lower than expected transfer sum.

Usually Bayern don't have to deal with a chairman who is more obsessed with his own reputation than the good of his club though.

The problem is other clubs he can consider in England are in different stages of rebuilds and might not win the league or CL in the next 5yrs

In the next 4yrs it won't be strange to see City win 3 and one of the 5 other clubs win the other PL title. So unless Kane picks the exact other club asides City that will win, his entire career might be without a major trophy or just Carling and FA cups

I am not suggesting he should stick to England. If he waits one year, that opens the door for Spain too. Barcelona will probably need a Lewandowski replacement and who can predict what Real will do. I'd say that's a more prestigious stage for him to play at and almost guaranteed trophies as well.

When did Bayern ever set their sights on someone of this caliber? They barely ever make this type of transfer.
 
Bayern seeming unusually naive in how they have approached this potential deal. Like they didn't fully appreciate who would be on the other side of negotiations and the nature of the player involved.

Do they have a back up number 9 option to pivot to?

I get the impression that the Kane brothers are playing this a bit smarter than their last contract fiasco. Basically, keeping all options open. If Bayern (or ourselves) agree a fee, fine. If they don't and Spurs are pants this season (likely); fine, free to any club he chooses. If they don't and Spurs launch a title challenge (unlikely); fine, new contract.
 
no issue him staying for the final year but if he signs an extension he's a proper idiot and can forget about ever leaving Spurs (or winning anything).

Bayern have Kanes commitment. If it comes to an agreement on the finances, the deal is going to happen. I interpret the delays as Tottenhams intention to milk every €, doubt they will go as far as making the deal go bust tbh. Expect a result by the end of the week, latest.
No official plan B by Bayern, at least not publically.

All time leader in PL goals record will be broke by Haaland one day anyway. I would go for more trophies and wages.
 
Are Bayern really going to pay over £100 million for a player that they could start negotiating a free transfer with in five months time?

In a sense they're paying for exclusive access and better odds at closing a deal. Would Kane be free, Bayern would probably have to compete with half a dozen teams instead of being (so far we know) the best placed and most advanced in signing him.
They want his production this season, ideally.

I also think they'd like not to pay 100m€ or £, I guess this is what it is about now between them and Levy.

I'm afraid having Kane's commitment doesn't count for a lot when Levy is at the other side of the negotiating table. City thought this was the way to go previously as well. It can be as much about ego as it is about money with Levy in the transfer market. I hope Bayern take him, but I would not be confident given Levy's and the player's past.

If I was Kane I'd choose the first option. The guy has won nothing in his career! Literally nothing! He'd be mad to stay at Spurs any longer than necessary. He's already wasted too much time with them!

He could win the Champions League with Bayern next season.

Bayern are second favourites with some bookmakers.

Competition would be bigger next summer and Kane would probably demand a 40m signing fee. This window is Bayern's only chance to get him.

Given they needed an 86th minute goal and Dortmund capitulating at home on the final day of the season to win their last title, and they haven't strengthened the biggest weak point in their team (striker), I would say it's not a given they'll win without Kane.

It kind of is though. Dortmund, Leverkusen and Leipzig have each lost their best player already in this window and Bayern have already strengthened their defence. Considering they score over 90 goals in the league last season, it doesn't seem like goalscoring was really an issue at all.

It won’t, Haaland won’t be sticking around for the long term at City.

I like the idea that Kane (or possibly his brother) might ring up Haaland out of the blue to discuss this before he makes a decision.

"Alright Erling? Harry Kane here. Kyle Walker gave me your number. Just wondering how the off-the-books money from the sheikhs is suiting you? Cos I hear Madrid is a lovely city"

A ‘****’ shares what he ‘has’ with other people…

Kane is more like a horny housewife with a fiercely possessive, paranoid husband who wants to get divorced and be with other people, but is trapped in a crappy sexless marriage.

So, Harry Horny Depressed Housewife is more fitting.

Or, you know, he’s just happily married and doesn’t understand why everyone wants or expects him to move on.
 
Don't understand why he wouldn't just see his contract through and see what his options are next summer, he will have his pick of teams even at 31. Big sign on fee, big wages.

He doesn't owe Spurs anything at this point, if they don't want to sell at £80 million now then that's the clubs problem.

I assumed you were a Spurs fan from reading that.

Why would this window be Bayern's only chance? And why would a £40m signing-on fee (assuming it was that much) be an obstacle when it is a fraction of his transfer fee?

Because Kane would rather stay in England given the choice I think, next summer every top club in the country will be in for him if he’s out of contract.

Security would be my guess.

Going into the final year of your contract with no guarantee beyond that year is risky at the best of times but especially at his age.

What if he suffers a bad injury?

Yes there’s a potential significant financial reward at the end of it, but I can understand wanting to secure another 4 years now, albeit securing that with Spurs definitely adds an element of doubt. He must surely want out.
