To be fair I'd feel a bit sick giving Kane a 4 year deal on over 500k a week.

In the latest episode of the United Hour Podcast, Nik (@Rood) is joined by CEO Duncan Drasdo and Financial Director Andy Green from the Manchester United Supporters Trust for a special episode on all things behind the scenes at Old Trafford including a brief history of MUST and their aims today, views on INEOS and Sir Jim Ratcliffe so far, and the Old Trafford regeneration.
Excess of 86m pound, mid 90s is what it looked like. For Bayern. Toss another £20m as the price it would take for Premier league clubs. And 400k per week+ for wages, when amrabat would likely not even hit 100k and Pavard probably something like 150k. 400k per week for 5 years of Kane is 104mil, on top of a 120m fee (plus who knows in agent fees). 224mil for 5 years of Kane ages 30-35.
£60m for Pavard and Amrabat at a combined 250k per week is 65mil for 5 years of them aged 27 to 32. Combined 125mil. That's a 100mil difference and we are addressing 2 positions that we would otherwise have problems in, and simply letting our brand new 20 year old CF progress properly. Guy could be hitting Kane numbers in 2 years anyway. It's just the smarter choice to stick with the plan.
Hijack anyone?
He would cost 120million to us.
Academic because we won't make one much as I would have liked to tried it
Looks like I'm in the minority. If I was Kane I'd stay.
PL record + Spurs greatest ever player > Bundesliga and a German Cup

If I were a Spurs fan I would wonder very strongly about how good this money will be to the club. There's no suggestion there's anyone close to Kane's level available on the market, let alone for that price.
By letting him go they are massively signalling there is a downsizing of expectations.
I wonder if they wouldn't be better off keeping him another year as he's their best bet of reaching a top five finish and getting into the CL next season, you never know, if they achieve that he might even be considering extending his stay.

I don't get that. He's chosen the easy way out. Respect ?
He's gone to join the club that's won their domestic league every season for the last 11. Bayern would win the bundesliga this season without Kane. Englands all time top scorer and one of the best cfs in prem history has never won a trophy in England. That stinks.
We aren't winning it anyway next season. We aren't there as a team. You don't go from our performance levels last season to beating out this city team over a season. Don't be ridiculous. Kane isn't better than haaland, ten hag isn't better than Pep, Bruno isn't better than de Bruyne. We have to be patient and play the long game here. Develop into a top team and think about the title when we start playing like a team who can actually hit the consistency of city the past 7 years.
Kane is 47 goals off Shearer’s record, could probably go to Bayern for 2-3 years, come back to a mid-table team or Spurs and still have a chance of beating it?
Fantastic player but we made the right call financially here. Guess we gambled on him staying and pushing for a free transfer next year.
Harry wimpy Kane actually moving abroad would be astonishing. Stupid, and astonishing.
It's a great move for him and i can't understand how anyone doesn't see that.
Of to play for one of the biggest clubs in the world and challenge for the top titles.

So, who will Spurs be bringing in to replace Kane?
Hugo Ekitike maybe? Cheeky Neymar attempt? Come to us with a cheeky (loan?) bid for the one who shall not be named? Jonathan David? Other plausible options?

Ah, I’m just being facetious but we know enough about Levy to know he won’t be strong armed or do anything other than if it’s in the club’s best interests and he walks away from the deal feeling like he got the upper hand. Kane going to United, much less for a reduced fee like £50m, won’t allow those things to happen.
Lower
It's easier to justify it when they are in an easier league where he'll be fine to score 40+ goals a season to have them walk the title again and focus on the push for the CL, which they were just a CF short from being part of the serious conversation again. They've been a top 3/4 side in Europe for the past 5 years along with Madrid, city and Liverpool before their drop off. One off year after losing their CF doesn't take them out of it. His longevity won't be hurt as much in the Bundesliga as it would in the prem.
Maybe Evan Ferguson?
This isn't Figo saga, likewise this isn't like transfer between 2 different league teams.
Spurs can and will obviously reject the bid unless we offer them bigger money.
He could win the CL at Bayern too, and will at least get to play in it every season he's there. At this point in his career even regular CL football is desirable.
Agree, people overrate the intelligence of sports and politicians all the time. There's no 3D chess move here, if he wanted to come to United he'd have been better off making that clear early in the window, similar to Mount. Spurs probably would have still refused a move but a move now makes less sense for Spurs and United.
A shame. Thought we'd snap him up next year on a free.
He's going to Bayern for a shot at the CL. Agree Bundesliga is less for him than a PL top scorer ever record. But he'll be at one of the 3 elite clubs in Europe over the past decade. The CL is what his target will be, and it'll be a realistic target, more realistic than anywhere else.
Who do you mean by he? Kane?Why would he do that?
Do you think United is such a big deal nowadays?
Nevil just said what United supporter wanted to hear, thats it.
Well he could reject Bayern because he's English, because he wants to stay in the PL, because he wants the record, because he doesn't want to move to another country with another language, because United usually overpay wages, because United still gets more media coverage than Bayern, because a bundesliga doesn't solve his main problem of being trophyless in England, etc.
There could be a hundred valid reasons for him to reject Bayern.
He didn't want to wait and after years of having zero trophies you can't blame him
Don´t see Brighton selling him this summer. They´d surely demand the world for him, and don´t see Levy providing it. I´d expect Jonathan David, or possibly that Gift Orban dude if they want to take an even bigger punt. They will struggle to get in the EL never mind CL places this season either way i think.
I was listening to Alan Shearer speaking on a podcast about how he'd trade, in a heartbeat, his all-time top scorer record in exchange for winning the Premier League just once with Newcastle.
Granted, winning the Premier League with your local and boyhood club has a different emotional appeal to winning an almost guaranteed Bundesliga with Bayern, but Harry Kane may yet surprise us in his decision and his ambition.

I admire anyone who genuinely believes we are gonna match their bid. Unfortunately you are in serious heartache on that one

Given he can leave on a free if it were me I’d stay knock another 20+ goals closer to the record and then have the pick of some top sides.
I don’t mean next as in 2023/24 I mean surely it makes more sense to wait until 2024/25 season so sign Kane on the free and save the ~£90m fee.
The reason I starred Pavard is because I’d sign him for the now. Then add Kane depending on Højlund’s development.
For me that makes the most sense. Rather than now trying to find that amount to bring someone in a year early. And if that’s not something Kane wants to wait for then move on.
If he goes who does Spurs buy? Hardly any decent strikers on market.
Could he not come back in a couple of years and try and get the record? No idea how long he will play for but Spurs if they are clever could get some kind of cheap buyback clause for the future.
Spurs to be relegated?
Rasmus is more of a prospect than the finished product, plenty of examples of clubs paying high sums for future return, didn’t city do just that with Jesus for example?
Spurs will do well to finish in the top 10 now.
See them doing deal for Gift Orban then going for someone like Martinez,Vlahovic. Hey perhaps even something way our there like Neymar on a loan deal
The absolute delusion of stone of the posts here from people thinking he should choose us over Bayern.
Thinking the premiership record is worth more than winning the league in Germany and possibly the champions League.
It's shocking how egotistical some people can be. Bayern are such a huge club and this is a massive step for Kabe which he would be mad to ignore.

He's never won a trophy, he wouldn't be going to Bayern just for a shot at the CL. The prospect of winning the league there would be exciting too.
Yeah he could still take the record later on
I disagree with that. I think it's predictable, choosing to go to Bayern is the wimpy option. I don't care what people in here say but Harry Kane did not grow up dreaming of winning the Bundesliga, he finally has the chance to push to sign for a team that can compete for the premier league and the major trophies in England but then he won't have the excuse that his team is not good enough anymore, Tottenham have been holding Harry Kane back and he hasn't won a trophy cos his team is shite. If he goes to Bayern he doesn't want the pressure, he's bottled it.
I'm not even saying it as United fan in the sense that I'm pissed he won't join us, if he chose to join Chelsea or even Arsenal I'd respect him more but joining Bayern Munich is the easy way out. The Wimpy way out.
Best PL striker in the past decade, Englands all time top scorer has never won a trophy in England, it's a joke.
