There are better midfielders around

People really dont appreciate how good Kane is imo. Right now he has to be BOTH the primary goalscorer and creator in dysfunctional side. If he came here we'd score an additional 30-35 goals a season between his goals and assists.
One of the things I think he'd also unleash is those runs Bruno used to make 2 seasons ago with Pogba in the side where he'd run in behind from deep and had some glorious finishes.

And better defenders
Being that hard on a specific player will only hurt you. It takes away options and let others taking advantage of you. How often have we seen big transfers fail in the last couple of years but some fans still believe in the legend of the one player who will turn everything on its head. Don't get me wrong, if you want to believe in that, do so, I just don't think it would be a good decision.
True. Didn't want it to appear that young players are riskless, for sure there are risks. But at least there is a realistical chance to getting some cash back. I don't see that with Kane, which just adds to the reasons against a transfer. I think, thats something all posters should be made aware of - being against a Kane transfer doesn't have to mean one is against Kane or something. it is being against a transfer.
Why not? Rashford can be our main ST then. Buy a young cheap talented backup for Rasford and save oney. Son could play as a false 9 if needed.
I am a little torn on whether the club should pursue Kane in the summer.
He is quite clearly one of the best strikers in the world and one of the best players in the league. He isn’t just a fantastic goal scorer but he is also a great player who runs Spurs’s attack as well as finishes the chances off. There is a chance that Kane coming into the team would elevate us from where we are now to a team that could challenge on the condition that we invest well in other areas also.
However, as a team, we are required to put the hard yards in and counter press. On top of that, the players will be expected to play 2-3 games a week on a regular occurrence. Not to say Kane isn’t in good shape but as a player with an injury record that isn’t exactly outstanding and coming up to 30 years of age, I’m not sure whether he would prove to be the best value. I would rather go for a younger profile of player like Ferguson but he’s not attainable right now.
At the moment, I probably would go for him but like with Casemiro and Eriksen, we have to not over use him. Establish early on as to whether he wants to join but don’t get drawn into a protracted saga with Levy. Then, in a few years, if Ferguson is looking like a top striker, go for him.

Rashford has improved his striker play this season, but he's still very one-dimensional there as he's poor with his back to goal. It's basically just run in behind the defenders over and over and over again trying to break the offside trap. He can't win any long balls in the air, he has poor hold-up play, he normally doesn't press...overall he's simply better off the left the majority of the time. From what I've heard Son has also been quite poor this season so certainly isn't worth moving Rashford for.
Is rashford gonna get us 25+ goals a season? I don’t think so. We need an Haaland type striker. Plus I don’t know if you’ve noticed but ETH likes a main ST in his team like he had at Ajax. We ain’t gonna score tons of goals without a clinical finisher.
I have reservations about Osimhen’s on the ball ability, but I appreciate his work-rate and goalscoring prowess. I’d take him ahead of Kane, but I also know Osimhen would cost the same that america spends on their military budget.
I still have hopes we’ll get Kolo Muani though. I feel he has all the attributes to be shaped into a class striker with the right manager/environment and I like to think that we’re in an upward trajectory.
If the standard at the bottom of the league stays as high, but as rich as PL is, the standard is not going up over the summer that we have several teams shooting up. It's all about whether we can take the next step. We may edge most of Ole team in certain areas, but we're this season is in same level. Ole couldn' t get to that next level. That's the issue when adding players. If Kane comes, and he performs, it highly likely we would be able to make that next step which would enable to challenge regardless of City or other teams. City haven't upped the ceiling every season. Arguably they're not as strong as 4 seasons ago. It's just that the level to challenge them is high.
GK can maintain their prime close or even reach 40. Upgrading DDG should have been the task of yesteryears. Unavoidable. It's more about finding the right GK. We Varane, Casemiro, Kane could well give us another couple years, that plenty enough time at top level to find the next gen in the position of power.
You don't waste top players prime, by buying young players that 2-3 years away to reach top level because it results in forever rebuild. Right now the proven forward option in the market is extremely limited.
I'd still rather take Osimhen
Son has had a pretty bad season, no thanks.
Don’t want this pensioner.
He will score 20+ and assist 15+, he is a nobrainer at around 75m. He should move heaven and earth to get out of Spurs. If Levy wants 100m we should look elsewhere eg Toney or Abraham.
No no and no.
But that is not where he plays
Chelsea probably the most natural fit, with Pochettino there, unless they somehow land Osimhen. Lukaku is coming back next season since Inter isn’t interested in renewing the loan. They can plod along for next season and if they finish 5th and get UCL then Kane can slot right in. Jesus isn’t prolific and taking Spurs best player off them may be tempting for Assna as well, although Kane probably doesn’t fit Arteta’s brand of football as well as the former. Us if whoever we sign this summer proves unsuccessful.
He's new at this whole soccer/football thingy.
This is to be seen. The Kane now is different than the version under Poch. Toward the end of his time at Spurs, his team fell apart because he couldn't maintain the pressing game (Bielsa influence). Since Mourinho time Kane develop his game.
Poch PSG didn't look good without his preferred pressing game too. Messi didn't look as good under Poch than either side of last season under Poch.
It doesn't look like Kane would jump the ship to join Poch rebuild season at Chelsea. At this point of the career, Kane would want to win trophies if he's to leave. Poch himself is yet proven a true winner. Joining this Chelsea has every risk to not only stop him from achieving anything, but also make him into an stupid villain.
Even with Poch, you'd have to be borderline insane to go there as a 30 year old chasing your first trophy and looking for quick success. Utterly dysfunctional club, with massive question marks over their leadership, even though there's a logic to the core strategy of buying for the future. So long as Glazers relinquish control and Kane can get a guarantee about immediate 1st team squad strengthening in 1-2 other key areas (and why shouldn't he demand that, just like players in demand should get release clauses wherever they can), we'd be a much better bet, to say nothing of the advantage of not having to hang around in London after you've left your home-town (London-based) club and dealing with potentially incensed Spurs supporters (again, yes, lots will understand, but a reasonable contingent will still see his leaving as betrayal)...
I meant it in the sense that they most likely will still be in need of a top striker, has a manager he played for before, doesn’t have to uproot his family, can stay in the league to chase Shearer’s record, and loads of dosh. Football-wise, there were signs towards the end of Poch’s time at Spurs that the less hard working, explosive Kane was no longer the best fit in his system, but Chelsea do have a lot of legs now tbf.
As for the villain part, him moving to any London rivals would be bitter for Spurs fans, although Chelsea probably less so than Le Arse.
Yeah replacing so many of the spine at same time would be nightmare,in terms of Kane there is real intrigue to see what he could do with a better midfield and wide players
The most assists he had in one season was 14 and that's the only time he got into double figures. This season he's had 3.
Sitting on Levy's lap worked for Eriksen
I forgot about Eriksen as well
Kane dropping deep and feeding Rashford (or Bruno) will be the closest thing in top football to KDB feeding Haaland. No other striker we are looking at can do this. Kane's passing is up there with TAA and KDB.
I'd really really like us to sign him.
Exactly people saying Kane would get into Bruno's way forget how much Bruno likes to get into the box running beyond the center forward. Plus there's also the ETH factor, Kane would play as instructed.
Kane, Rashford, Bruno would dovetail very well together.
Imagine all those goals to our GD, bloody hell
26 goals is unbelievable
in Van Persie’s great season here he scored 26.
Without counting precisely, Kane’s total goals this season will probably be the double of the average our topscorer has scored in Premier League since Van Persie.
Bruno, Ronaldo 18,
Zlatan, Rooney 17
Lukaku 16
Pogba 13
Rooney 12
Martial 11

I don't think Spurs sell him. He's irreplaceable
Could he be thinking stay at Spurs one more season and run the contract down and then see if City/Madrid/PSG or Bayern is available again the following season? Benzema,Lewa,Muller should all be done that summer. This could open up Mbappe & Haaland moving to Madrid/Barca, especially if Haaland wins UCL this season and the league again next season.
I hope he stays for another season and I think he will - 209 league goals in 317 appearances is just an incredible record and now just over 50 goals from Shearer's record. Most headed league goals in one season as well with that goal today. He scores every type of goal, with either foot and clearly outstanding in the air as well. I honestly think he doesn't get the credit he deserves in this country.
He needs to leave for his own good. He deserves to be at least challenging for major honours.
Wonder why that is.
He’s 29, Bottler, English, no pace, bad ankles though.
But then we need a reliable winger. We've spent 80m on two at the moment who range from average to occasional skills.
It's always weird with Kane.
On one hand 26 goals is pretty amazing, for this version of him, much older and less mobile than the "peak" Kane. But that peak Kane scored 29 two season's running.
So he could actually match that whilst hanging about on the half way line for increasing amounts of time.
Assume the pen count is higher this year though. Maybe someone can do the stats?
If Levy wants insane money then I hope he stays with you for another season too. If Kane wants Shearer's record and wants a shot at winning trophies then I can only think of United and (possibly) Newcastle as clubs he'd leave Spurs for. Liverpool and City wouldn't want him, Arsenal is an obvious no. Chelsea? I'd be very surprised.
He's got to come to Old Trafford eventually, preferably on a free transfer
