Sorry, but where does that replace the pretty much guaranteed 25 goals a season Kane gives you, in the players you've mentioned? You'd be lucky if you got 15 between them.
Harry Kane | "I will be staying at Tottenham this summer and will be 100% focused on helping the team achieve success."

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.
Show me the story there was an official bid of £150M, actually rumours are there was no official bid. Traore, goals,
.Romano reported two "official" bids for Harry Kane.
They've been there with Bale. Didn't go well. Nor us with Suarez.
It doesnt but I said they could end up a better team. City never had a 25 goal striker and did ok.

Its theoretical. Who knows how much was bid. Thats why I said 130-150. Even 120 ish they should have sold
That's Euros, can I ask why Romano gets so much credence on here? Most oh his "exclusives" are from other journalists. The story was Levy didn't even answer the phone. We didn't convince Harry to stay either, he didn't really have a choice.
Why? Who are these strikers who are gonna get any team around 25 PL goals a season. City don't have 1, United don't have one, a valued player.
For me, it's not about exclusivity. Most of the time, his reports basically confirm the bits of news from elsewhere and add substance to them. Levy may not have needed to be directly involved in rejecting those "bids" if they were submitted to Spurs in some way, shape, or form. Maybe they had an intermediary represent them to address this matter (which several clubs tend to do when dealing with difficult situations like this).
But you've just answered why they wouldn't do that. The could, they could quite easily not as well. They don't have to sell him, wont loose much money on him if they sold him next year and likely get one of the best strikers I'm Europe for another season.
City aren't exactly representative of Spurs and they're the bloody ones buying Kane!
Think the bid was only for 100M
Yeah that's pretty desperate.https://www.mirror.co.uk/sport/football/news/harry-kane-desperate-dubious-goals-12327450
Edit: Before I forget, Spurs put in an official request to move the goal from Eriksen's name to Kane's name. That was double embarassment
So much for the gentlemen's agreement I guess...
Wonder if it might work out like Sancho did at Dortmund last year.
Yes but I put my head above the parapet and said what I believed to be true. Do any of us really know what goes on in the war rooms of football clubs?
Personally I didn't want him at that price.
Ed Aarons also reports that City were willing to pay £127m (or ~€150m) for Kane. However, Levy was only interested in an offer of £150m and nothing else.
you really couldn't write it, on Bluemoon 60% wanted him, Spurs were dying to sell or we would do a Leeds and Levy was a selling Chairman (probably the biggest crock of shit of the lot.) I tried to explain to one of your fellow supporters the differences in debt, but his response was (debt was debt). I was then banned after pointed out that Abu Dhabi is the capital and the second-most populous city of the United Arab Emirates. He seemed to think there was no connection to the UAE.......

You're such an emotional person
I said I personally don’t want us to go Kane’s direction due to him nearing 30, declining athleticism and recently having injury issues. Your reply “he played more than Haaland but let’s make up a narrative”. What narrative?How does that invalidate any of what I said?He is one of the best strikers in the world and has come out of this looking like an absolute plonker. The wrong decision at every turn.
This is why Raiola makes the big bucks unfortunately.

Nice variation on the spelling of Levy

This was a mini Peter Odemwingie saga. Pretty embarrassing for Kane and spurs.
The cherry on top would be if he claimed he never wanted to move.
So Kane is staying and promises to do his best. Big whup. That is what everyone is expected to do at their job.
This is the Captain tasked with giving inspirational speeches. He got bummed at the negotiation table.
He isn't our captain.
Low fee for Martinez aside, there’s no way either of them pick Spurs, tbh. No CL football + no Harry Kane - not a particularly attractive side for any new signings with pedigree like league winners of those two.
It might have been if they'd ever actually bid that much. As it was, we have a few chances saying they bid less than that or others saying the actual max amount of money ever offered at any point was 100 million, with, if we're being generous, some players offered too who are either shite (Jesus) or are on too high wages and wouldn't want to come (Laporte/Sterling).
I honestly think if they'd offered 150 mil, he'd have gone. An actual amount like that, not a hodge podge of players. You can't bid 100 million for Grealish and then a similar amount for Kane.
He's ended up looking a total tit but was happy with the reception he received on Sunday and am hoping he receives a similar one next home game. Hope he has a good season and gets his move for a decent price next summer.
My mistake! Blame All or Nothing!
Im with you, Harry and City come out of this tarnished, I doubt City care. I would rather of got him gone early for £150 clean. Il support him, and hope he has an excellent season but his legacy is gone even if he wins something.
This, doing a "I want out interview" while the season is still going on, not turning up for training in time... this guy is a grade A prick of a man. And Neville calls him a saint and Souness and co keep defending him while they bombard Pogba for his agent talking rubbish. Hope he never wins anything in his career the selfish idiot.https://www.mirror.co.uk/sport/football/news/harry-kane-desperate-dubious-goals-12327450

Interesting. Honestly thought this would be a August 31st, 11.59pm move.
No talk of any contract extension so guess he's just gambling he'll move next summer when he has just 2 years left so potentially more in his favour although whether Man. City would still be interested would be very debatable with Haaland more in play then.

Unless you're posting from the future, he isn't.
What an idiot. He really looks stupid now
Do we go for him next summer now??? One wonders
If he had have hired a half decent agent he wouldn't be in this mess.
I suspect, just suspect that the guy was being sarcastic.
Luckily for Kane, fans are idiotically fickle, and as long as he quickly gets back on the goal trail, they won't even care in a week.
I love that Harry Kane now have to spend a year with teammates who have been told in no uncertain term that they are not good enough for Harry Kane
At least his brother can get himself some more lotions and keep those fingers nice and soft

To be fair, you've been bringing Kane into the Pogba threads for weeks.
Can’t say I’m surprised the amount of money involved in signing him was crazy even for City.
Personally think this is going to be bad news for. Means city will likely join the race for Haaland next summer.
