Absolute banker to go to Madrid I reckon now Benzemas gone.
This season he didn't miss many games but I am not sure if that's the new trend or the exception , because in previous seasons he had some issues, I think with his ankles.Kane is the most prolific scorer in the premier league and the bloke never misses a game.....he'd be worth 100m given our desperate need for a finisher
ffs...oh to have prime Ruud with this group

I don’t think he will, I think he’ll stay and run down his contract. He seems to be record driven and leaving now will end his chances of becoming the all time record goal scorer in England. Plus he has a young family and uprooting them and moving to Spain for a maximum of 3/4 years mightn’t be something he wants to do. You have to wonder as well if Madrid can afford 100m+ for him when they are spending at least that amount on Bellingham. I think he’ll see out his last year with Spurs and join us on a free next year.

He's 47 goals behind Shearer. I think he may very well agree to move to Real for the next 3-4 years while they search for their long term striker, and will return to Premier League at 33-34, still capable of giving it 3-4 more seasons at Spurs or another mid-table club helping him get to 261. I don't think it's outlandish to think a 33-36 year old Kane will still be knocking 15 goals per season. including penalties.
I think he's almost certain to go to Real.
The one thing Kane has is going for the all time premier league goal record. He's not got a couple of years to spare to nip abroad.

He's turning 30 this summer, never quick and will get slower. For the money we need to buy a couple of younger players with pace and aggression.I doubt that will be his thinking. He’s probably got 5-6 years left at top level and why would he go back to mid-table Spurs from Madrid at 33?? He’s still likely to be one of the best in the world then.
Ultimately, this is his last big contract. It’s either:
- sign for the biggest club in England, back himself to turn them into title contenders and win trophies and chase Greavsie’s Div 1 record (he should easily go past 260 unless injuries hit)
- sign for Madrid, probably have slightly more certainty of some trophies but play in an inferior league and have to uproot his family, whilst sacrificing any chance at the personal records.
I dont see him going to Madrid. I do see him in a united shirt but dealing with levy probably makes it as close to impossible as its going to get. Unless the (potential) new owners come in and make a statement signing.
I don't think he wants the PL goals record as much as has been made out. Most of it has come from the media, and I don't remember Kane ever bringing it up himself once. It is always the media who ask and he is hardly going to say 'I really don't give a shit'.
He never actually sounds that interested in goal scoring records; it is always very normal responses that anyone would say e.g. 'Yeah, it is nice to break the record
I believe it is more a media-driven narrative.
Yeah, Bale destroyed his career to leave the trophy machine Spurs and end up wasting his time winning 5 Champions leagues at bottlers Real Madrid.I obviously don’t know what drives Kane, if it is money, trophies or personal success but isn’t it fair to say that more than half of the high profiled PL stars who has shifted to either RM or Barca have failed miserably and ruined their careers and legacy. Bale, Hazard, Coutinho to take some of the recent. Why take that risk ? But then again given the choice between working less in Madrid or more in Manchester I wouldn’t think twice. I just hope that Kane is driven by personal success and would rate English trophies over Spanish ones.
this is another thing he needs to consider. At United he can be the main man for the next 4 years if he wants it. At Madrid he will be the main man until they sign Haaland or Mbappe - which could come as soon as next year. Benzema has really fecked things up for us though cos at the very least this will be driving his price up. Until a few days ago we thought we were his (and Spurs) only realistic option for a mega transfer.I think he's choose us over Madrid, but he would choose Madrid over Spurs at this point.
They will likely be his only available option unless Madrid finally go all out for Mbappe.
He absolutely does.
why would he though? He'd just make himself look like a dick and risk jinxing himself? (he seems the type to believe in that stuff)But where has he said it to make it such a priority for him? Most of the time, when he is speaking about staying at Tottenham, he says about wanting to win a trophy with them (that is obviously never going to happen, so moving is the only answer). Never mentions the goal scoring record himself, but only when it is brought up by the media.
He’s really injury prone. Ok, he’s played 35, 37 and 38 premier league matches in the last 3 years but you’ve got to look back to 5 years ago when he had a couple of ankle injuries. Absolutely guaranteed that he’ll start to suffer injuries again soon.
Also, he’s nearly 35 anyway and really must be coming to the end of scoring 30 league goals in a season. It’s a high risk signing.
[Just in case any Real Madrid scouts are checking in.]

Was that the one where he swore on his kid’s life that he touched it?Also went out of his way to claim a goal a couple of seasons back which may have (at best) flicked a hair on his head. I think the record is important to him.
We won't match what Levy wants which I feel is north of 150m, ETH was reported to want United to show ambition getting Kane but I think our max is around 100m, it's just not going to make Levy think twice. Perhaps Madrid can broker a deal a bit cheaper but will find it difficult too.
Levy will have some hope he can get Kane to resign if next summer the limited options for Kane elsewhere are filled and can offer security and a main striker place to go for the records and remain a Spurs legend. Kane is a rare top striker and 80-100m won't buy you much.

Yeah, I think this is the way to go. I feel like Madrid might not fancy paying £100 million for an ageing player from the Prem after getting their fingers burnt by Hazard. No point fannying around with anything less than a ton in my opinion. £100 million, take it or leave it, and if Madrid want to offer that much then good luck to them.Hope we throw down an early take it or leave it offer. We can't spend all summer chasing this transfer, need to quickly move on if it's not viable.

You'd have to go back to 2019/20 for the last time he missed any significant time with injury. He's played a remarkable amount of football since then, pretty much only Bruno in our team has played comparable mins in recent seasons.This season he didn't miss many games but I am not sure if that's the new trend or the exception , because in previous seasons he had some issues, I think with his ankles.
Okay, I don't really follow spurs , must have gotten the wrong impression.You'd have to go back to 2019/20 for the last time he missed any significant time with injury.

Ruined Modric's career too sadlyYeah, Bale destroyed his career to leave the trophy machine Spurs and end up wasting his time winning 5 Champions leagues at bottlers Real Madrid.
He had injury problems when he was younger so you're not totally wrong. He must have changed something in terms of his physio or diet in the last few years because it's not a problem anymore.Okay, I don't really follow spurs , must have gotten the wrong impression.

I know what the guy is saying. Bale certainly won a lot of trophies, I'm not sure he really made the most of his talents though - he seemed to spend most of the last 5 years on the golf course.In the time Bale was at Madrid which team won more high profile trophies than they did? Who would Bale have been better suited to have transferred from Spurs to?
