Yeah even with new owners it feels like we will be considering that factor as well
I guess we don't want to upset Martial again
In all honesty, Kane should get the #9.
Martial is pretty much unavailable 50% of the season lately.
We’d have to go in hard with a massive bid and Kane would have to kick up a stink (unlikely him doing so). He’d have to hand in a transfer at the very least. Levy is silly if he doesn’t let him go imo. He has a year left and wants to leave. He kept him when he wanted to go city, if he wants to go again, let him go, it’s his career and he’s more than honoured your club. You haven’t won anything with him at the club so maybe it’s time for spurs to move on and try something different. Let the player explore something different towards the end of his playing career and cash in while you can.
That's the most sense in a post from you, I've ever read. Are you okay?
I think differently. He has one year left on his contract, is 30 and funnily there isn't a big market for him because he wants to stay in the Prem. That rules out Arsenal, Liverpool, Man City. Chelsea possibly but they arnt even in the Champions league. Maybe Newcastle but there are still in rebuild mode. So if he wants to leave we are in pole position. He went on strike just last year to go to City. I bet they made him assurances to keep him happy. Like give us one more year. We will win something with Conte and you will be cemented as a Spurs legend. It didn't work. So now Levy doesn't have a leg to stand on. If he refuses to sell he will have an unhappy Kane for a year then he will go on a free. We should offer 80 and sit back while Kane and Levy duke it out
I’d agree with you.. but it’s levy. The most stubborn, unflinching man in football. If he doesn’t want to sell him, he won’t, he won’t care how kane reacts, he proved that before.
Please be just the usual tabloid drivel.
Kane to Utd would be a great move imo, for both parties. If he has anything about him he’ll push hard for the move.
Under no circumstances will Levy let £80m walk out the door. Kane will still be an £80m player next year. His ego won’t let him see another club win £80m off him. He’d be a laughing stock. Again.
Why?
Who do you want
Thanks I guess
Surely the number 1 requirement we want from a striker under Ten Hag's style is someone who presses hard and stays up front.
Kane increasingly does neither.
If we wanted just a goalscorer, we had the Ronaldo type, if we wanted a deep assister, we've got Bruno?
I don't think Kane would be the best move at all. More a continuation of the trend of the past few years in this department. Sure he's younger than Ibrahimovic, Ronaldo and Cavani were but for once I'd I'd rather a young up and coming striker rather than risk another 30 odd year old. An expensive one at that.
I feel Kane it’s a premium version of Weghorst.
He can literally do everything he can but better (and more).
I actually think he suits what EtH wants more than anyone
I’ll settle for a guy who scores nearly every week and often scores two.
Exactly my thoughts. Kane is perfect for a ETH system.
There's no doubt he's leagues above Weigy.
But Kane won't be back in his right back position sliding in to win possession like he would.
However, if we go for Kane, get him and he starts scoring, I'll be on the bus as much as anyone.
Kane is very hard working to be fair and likes to get involved and win back the ball. I think you’re doing him a bit of a disservice. He certainly gets stuck in.
His link up work, something Ten Hag looks to value, is second to none.
As I say the more I’ve seen how we are using Weghorst the more I can understand exactly why he seems to be our top target.
Agreed. I think he’d be very good for us and would thrive with better players.
As much as I love Harry, signing players 30 and above for ridiculous amount of money has to stop at some point.
Or maybe just a player that isn't in the descent portion of his career and will not cost near 100 mil
Also how would this approach be sustainable without middle eastern ownership ? Because when the players begin to decline (Kane, Varane, Fred, Casemiro, Eriksen, Bruno) in 24-36 months it will require monumental investment to cover a multitude of positions.
Where does the money come from to facilitate those changes at the same time. It's almost a paradigm Kane would require ME based ownership because their business model would give the club the ability to sign a multitude of players in relation to short term decline but to the more traditional western owner Kane should be the least identifiable target. Might as well throw Kovacic into the mix and the club can otherwise become a retirement home.
Good luck finding one of those
Feel so torn because see Kane as the ideal person to make the most out of Casa,Rapha and Bruno,on the other hand Osimhen allows us to plan longer term but comes at a significant cost
BOTH of them then. Real Madrid signed Ronaldo, Benzema, Kaka and Xabi Alonso all in 1 summer. That's the sign of a true top club with big ambitions. Their remarkable number of Champions League titles after that was the proof.
Can we get Kane for Henderson and Martial?
Neither would want to play second fiddle,remember when those guys were signed teams used to play with two strikers
Huh? You do know that Kane will be on a free next year? He would be in the last year of his contract which expires in 2024.
Yeah no way are Spurs letting him leave on free,either goes this summer or I am certain he signs a deal to see out career
It doesn't depend on Spurs. Kane has the option to hold out and get the maximum signing on fee next year.
Yes. Meaning if Levy didn’t sell him this year, another club is effectively taking £80m out of his pocket. He’d look like a joke.
For me it’s just time - If Ten Hag sees Kane as the one then that says a lot; if he doesn’t then that also says a final answer.
I can see this be done. However stubborn Levy is I just can't see him reject 80m for a 30yr old player. Utd will probably have to win the PL in the next 2 years to get a fair roi.
30 years old and no resale value. As good as he is that's not a good deal.
We'll be in a situation where we'll need to replace about 5 players in the same time.

The problem is more Madrid signed players who played every game. Kane can’t really play alongside Oshimen I doubt.
Personally I want Oshimen and a new right winger (who can beat a man) as our options on the right are nowhere near world class. We can improve vastly on the counter. That’s what United are known for football wise.
Add a new RB, world class CM and backup DM to that list… 5 players to make us title challengers next season.
Cost a tonne of cash but in football if you want the biggest trophies after years without you can’t think like that. We need a better squad period.
Sancho has no resale value and young - yet 3/4 of the fanbase were jizzing over the guy dominating the Bundesliga.
We are not buying Kane to sell him - we are buying Kane to win the Premier League in the next year and not wait 3 years slowly building up a team like Arteta did. Ten Hag wants to win it next year and bought Casemiro, Eriksen and now potentially Kane. He plays Varane, De Gea, Bruno Fernándes, Shaw who are experienced players and it clearly shows that age and experience is something Ten Hag values more than the fanbase.
I genuinely believe we can get Kane from 68m-80m level depending on how much he is pushing a transfer and wants to leave Tottenham by pure force but also by how much Ten Hag wants or not want him.
I see him most likely being a 75 million player yet to turn 30 and moving on the final year of his contract. If not then he is Le tissier and is not a winner.

Given his age Kane isn't my preferred choice over say Osimhen but I don't see us signing either to be honest. Napoli are as bad as Spurs if not worse for fleecing clubs and demanding huge fees. If we did get Harry I think he could have an RVP type impact though.
He is perfect for what we want. World class, another leader and premier league proven. ETH will love him. Guys a work horse with an exceptional attitude also. You’re getting a player who will command the respect of the youngsters around him. I feel he’ll be a RVP type signing for us. He is also desperate to become Pl top scorer and to win trophies.
