This reads as an I haven’t heard otherwise type of deal
With Kane and a couple of other signings? Not beyond the realms of possibility. Chelsea won it a couple of years ago for example. Only City are miles ahead of the competition.
This idea of not signing the best players because we aren’t going to win anything anyway is bizarre. It will be the same “fans” who are then up in arms with ETH when our “promising” striker scores 8 goals and we finish 6th in the league.
Abroad you can, but you can't officially do it within the same country.
The cnut Levy always has sniveling agenda, but you are correct that even the dimmest Spurs supporter can't possibly believe that Spurs are a rival of United. No doubt they wish it were the case, but it never has and never will be the case that Spurs and United rivals.
With the resurgence of Arsenal and the ascendancy of Newcastle, as well as the likely resurrection of Chelsea, Spurs are out of the top four picture for the foreseeable future. They'll always have Arsenal as their bitter rival, and to a lesser extent Chelsea, but Spurs are just another tricky fixture on United's schedule.
Thanks for the clarification.
But then again being from the North , I never felt London was part of England anyway.
Different to how it was reported strongly at the time, but ok.
Either way, I really hope we weren't pinning all our hopes on this one!
That prideful cnut Levy is exactly the type to cut off his nose to spit his face.
Feel like even if we offered something massive like 120m, he'd either turn it down in favor of risking losing him for free next season or sell him for much less outside of the PL.
The whole, 'don't sell to a PL rival' thing is absolutely delusional

The Champions League is definitely winnable. It's just a cup competition. You don't have to be anything special. Just get a bit of luck.
In hindsight, SAF's kidnapping of Berba (while hilarious at the time) has kind of fecked over our relationship with Levy (who radiates "overcompensating for shortcomings downstairs" energy at the best of times).
We won it twice under Fergie. Outplayed in the first final and John Terry slip in the second. We must be the unluckiest club in the world over the last 30 years.
I bet its happened underhand loads of times though.
Yep, hence the "officially" comment.
It's be outrageous naivety to think things weren't arranged well before.
Obviously not by us, as we never seem to be ahead of the curve on our deals.
We were unlucky to come up against the greatest club side of all time twice. Look at Chelsea - they've won it twice in recent years and haven't been anything special. We might not be big favourites, but with a bit of luck anyone can win it. Even an average Inter are in with a shot.
Feck the spuds. Let's just go for Osimhen.
They could be reporting net wage
I hope you are right
It may be true but the Madrid propaganda is something else.
They always go into overdrive when it comes to high profile signings like this. I remember the exact same stuff being churned out about Pogba and look how that turned out. Not saying Kane won’t end up at Real Madrid but they always run a narrative that it’s 100% nailed on and that isn’t always the case.
If we could get Osimhen for ~100 million I'd be on board. I don't think Napoli will part with him at that price, though. They seem to value him at 130-150 million.
As far as non-EPL players go, the only one I'd confidently jump for at those prices is Mbappe.
Kane at 100 million is a sure thing. Osimhen at 100 million is a gamble...let alone at 130 million.
I was skeptical about it with Bellingham when it looked nailed on for a while he'd be heading to Liverpool but they were always adamant he wanted Madrid and it worked out for them.
Only time I can remember recently that they haven't been able to sign one of their targets is Mbappe and that took P$G basically offering him half of their club along with all the power/influence
Apparently Ancelotti wants him 100% to replace Benzema but Perez is still dreaming of Mbappe even after missing out on him twice already so they might gamble on their chances on him next summer
If they don't sign a top 9 this summer to replace all those goals and end up having a poor season as a result while Barca repeat, I could see the fan/public/media backlash forcing Perez out before he gets the chance to go for Mbappe again.
Hadn't Levy already accepted both ours and City's bids for Berbatov before Fergie picked him up from the airport?

I do find the last bit odd from fans. Kane is the single best signing we could make at striker and yet people are worried about the fee despite being linked to inferior younger players for anywhere between £40-80m. I’d much rather spend the extra £50m on Kane and improve one position to world class status and then take a gamble elsewhere.
Next summer will be Mbappe for Real, United will have to buy someone this summer who could well be a success. City will still have Haaland, Bayern/PSG aren’t in an attractive league and he wouldn’t go to another London club.
If he wants a move, to be the main man at a big club, he needs to take it now.

Owh ffs, so sick of the damn Mbappe rumors. Let it die. That ship has sailed. Best for all parties. Let him go to United for a rivalry with Haaland or stick to PSG. Do whatever. We just need a proper #9 to join Vini and Rodrygo.
He got briefed of his destination and doesn’t want to look stupid losing to us. Don’t blame them.
If I was Postecoglu I'd be telling Levy, if you're gonna sell this guy, f**king do it early and give us time to get replacements in.
But knowing Levy, he'll drag it out all summer to eke out every last penny he can, and sell him on deadline day.

Madrid surely need a striker this summer anyway with Benzema gone. If not Kane, who? Any half decent striker will end up costing them nearly as much as Kane anyway.
Kane to United back on then.
I know we still need another 3/4 players for first XI (GK,DM,CM) but would still dine out on having a top tier player pick us instead
Yeah probably because we know how much of a nightmare Napoli are to deal with. Least with Kane he might have the guts to tell Levy he wants to leave and only interested in Utd.
Like Ronaldo to Madrid?
Does anyone know why more players don't take advantage of the Webster ruling? From what I understand, because Kane has served more than 3 years he can essentially break his contract, with Spurs due a fee based on the salary due for the remainder of his deal. Only one or two players have ever actually done it but you would think it would at least have a bearing on the transfer fee that Spurs can demand.
I've often wondered this too. The only thing I can think of is there's a verbal agreement between clubs to not to this to each other.
Even if Kane was up for it, I think the purchasing club wouldn't go for it. Because nobody wants it done to them.
If it became ubiquitous in the PL it would essentially hand players a lot more power over clubs.
We need to do whatever it takes to get Kane, the only player in the world right now who I think will instantly propel us to greater heights.
Getting Levy to sell is fully on Kane saying I don't care if you refuse to sell to Utd I will just go on strike to push for the move
I think he/she mean Kane would do that himself and become a free transfer?
Kane has only one year left. His salary is reportedly 10.4m a year. And according to that poster he'd have to pay Spurs only a part of that. Surely as a free transfer the massive signing bonus would largely cover that imo. And it's not like no club would sign Kane if he does that I think. After what Levy did to him nobody would say anything or blame Kane for doing such imo.
