Harry Kane | Bayern Munich player

Is the PL record a non-factor, a small factor or a large one? I lean towards small.

I think its a huge factor and Im surprised so many think so little of it.

Alan Shearer is still remembered and discussed as a premier league great because of this record. Kane is 47 goals away from something even the best players like Henry, Ronaldo, van Nistelrooy etc never got close to.

To walk away and go to a weak la liga, joining a team which might still end up second to Barcelona and has nothing but a punchers chance in the champions league once Benzema, Modric and Kroos are gone would be insane to me.

I think he stays at spurs, leaves on a free and then sees if he can join a prem team to get the record and hopefully pick up some of the trophies he actually dreamed about in the best league in the world.

Imagine if Alan Shearer didnt have that record but had a la liga and a spanish cup to his name. Wouldnt command even half the respect he does now.

Kane could go to Madrid for 4 years, then back to Spurs or elsewhere and have a few years to still try and get the PL record if it’s that important to him.
 
Even if he gets the record someone will break it eventually, and then he'd have nothing. Winning trophies is far more important.

Hard to believe. 48 goals past the age of 34 would be a huge ask.
 
Of course, I'd like to see a new no. 1 goalkeeper, two strikers (one experienced, one young and with potential), two central midfielders and a right back, but that's not gonna happen.

If we could only get Mount, Rabiot on a free and Kane, then I would consider it as a very good summer window. This team needs an experienced proven goalscorer and that player is Harry Kane.
 
Damn, with Madrid in the mix we dont stand a chance. Bit gutted really, I would've loved to have seen him here.

Is Osimneh gettable or would napoli want silly money for him?
 
If Kane really wants a move to United he will make it happen, I think we will pay up as well but it's all on him now.
 
If he had any sense he would go to Madrid. Spend a few years there, win everything and then get back to the PL to get the record. But he and his brother will probably do the opposite and stay at Spurs.

The silliest of silly money- seen it being said that Napoli want £130m (and yes, that's sterling rather than euro).

And Napoli are even more difficult to negotiate with than Levy is.

Yeah, this.

If you asked Shearer to give one up, his record or his PL title, he’d give up the record in a snap.

Kane also clearly is very afraid of bad publicity or damaging his relationship with Spurs fans, as shown by his unwillingness to really try to push through the Man City move a few years ago. Going to Real Madrid will spare him any criticism and allow him to bag some big titles. If he lasts long enough to come back to England and get the record, great. If not, a couple La Liga titles and a CL medal will mean he’s never branded a loser again and he’ll get the chance to play in a fantastic team.
 
Depends how long he plays for, could easily be another Sheringham and play until late thirties.
Based on a cursory glance my suspicion is Teddy is probably the only man ever to manage that many, so I think 'easily' is beyond optimistic.
 
Don't really see Kane going abroad
Why are people keep saying this? It is not like he will go to live there for the rest of his life.
3-4 years in Real Madrid where he will win trophies is by far his best choice now. People talk how he wants to break Shearer's record but no way that he would sacrifice actual trophies for one personal achievement.
 
I can see him going Madrid for 4 years and then coming back at 34 to smash Shearer’s record scoring 20 plus goals a season like he does now. No problem!!

I mean if CR7 and Zlatan can do it. Why can’t he.
 
Think Madrid is a real possibility to be honest, they badly need the quality up front now and the allure of competing on all fronts for the first time will be great.

Could definitely see him going on a short term deal and winding up back in the Prem and still able to break Shearers record in 2-3 years

Ronaldo got 18 goals at 36/37 there’s no reason why Kane couldn’t score plenty of goals in his mid thirties. He’s already not very reliant on pace so good chance he will be able to prolong his career if he wants to.

You say this and then go on to make definitive statement yourself , thing is nobody actually knows what Kane values more it's all speculation and opinions .
 


The likes of Kane and Rice bith moving abroad in the same summer would be a massive step forward for English players in my eyes.

Just my opinion. Chill

There is not 'no reason' there are lots of reasons. All the players who dropped off earlier than the severe outliers this argument rests upon are reasons to believe Kane couldn't easily score that many Premier League goals over the age of 34.
 
Yeah, this.

Absolutely. Could see this deal happening though imagine there will be weeks of back and forth around the fee.
 
Why? Why is Declan Rice going to develop more in Germany than England?
It's because you rarely see top English players going out of their comfort zones and taking other opportunities abroad. I think it'll help break the mold in that sense, for years it's been PL or nothing for the majority during their careers.

In recent years young players have started taking their chances elsewhere but having high profile stars doing the same could prove impactful in the future.
 
Why those feckers don't just pay Haaland's release clause? Leave Harry alone.
Haaland is unmoveable at the moment and is also the highest paid player in the world. Thats a mammoth task.

Kane gives them a short term option that helps them continue to challenge right away while also leaving the option open in the near future for a Mbappe or Haaland when it's more feasible/realistic.

Really works out for everyone, Levy included.
 
If I was Kane, I'd go to Madrid. What an opportunity. Perfect deal for all involved, gives RM 3 years of a top top player who's very intelligent and versatile, while they put together the cash for a big Mbappe/Haaland move when those two are looking for a new challenge.
 
Said before but there's no chance. He'd be mad to move to us. He needs a ready made team, where he's the final piece.

Not a team/club that's been out of contention for a decade that's just scraped top 4.
Think there's rumors from players that I saw he's open to joining United.

I know we haven't been the United of old but since SAF retired we've also won 4 trophies vs Spurs 0 and on top of that lost 3 finals vs Spurs 1. That's a cumulative 7 finals vs 1.

It's a massive improvement for Kane to join United and any pro footballer will see the improvement we've made w ETH and be excited by it.

I think the biggest red flag for Kane might be the Glazers.
