no chance we couldMaybe if Erik wasn't so hung up on Mount then we could afford Kane AND top GK

Or negotiating to try and bring Kulasevski price down/find alternatives. I don't think they'll sign both Barnes and Maddison. Reyes depends how interested we are, as even in current straits we're likely more flexible on price compared to Spurs. They could also be making enquiries to line up purchases in the event of Madrid coming in and offering them close to 100m for Kane. They've made it stubbornly clear that Kane won't be sold to PL clubs unless it's the kind of price that makes Fernandez look like Brighton's purchase of Caicedo.Anyone else think it's odd spurs are reported as bidding for Barnes, Madison and Reyes when they're averaging 70m net spend. Kane money?
What info is that?If the latest info about Qatar is true then I wonder if we might change our minds on signing Kane?
Or:Basically exactly this.
If Kane is planning to leave next summer, it makes zero sense for Spurs to not sell him. Trying to replace him with a 100M is a lot easier than trying to replace him with nada.
I can think of only 2 possibilities:
1) Levy genuinely believes he can get Kane to sign an extension
2) Levy will sell him eventually in this window. And these are just negotiating tactics to get as much as he can.
well it's only in the tabloids and Rio's mouth at the moment, but it seems as though they have been given preferred buyer status: https://www.mirror.co.uk/sport/football/news/man-united-takeover-qatar-ratcliffe-30242566What info is that?
Or:
3) he wants to sell, but not to a premier league team.
I think that is his preference, and if that doesn't work out, he'll try one of the above 2
Does he now?
Ah okay i thought it was something about spending power. I imagine if it’s wrapped up then yeah spending will increase. I doubt the new buyers want us to fall behind another transfer windowwell it's only in the tabloids and Rio's mouth at the moment, but it seems as though they have been given preferred buyer status: https://www.mirror.co.uk/sport/football/news/man-united-takeover-qatar-ratcliffe-30242566
100m should get it done. He'd be worth it.You think paying above 100 million for him even if Levy wanted to sell to us would be a smart move?
Clearly he doesn’t know our little bald owner. Levy cares only about 1 thing, £, he will have calculated and understood Kane’s value to United. I genuinely believe if you signed Harry you could win the title, so has Levy. If you want him, pay for him.
Or just sign him for free next year because Levy will price him out of a moveClearly he doesn’t know our little bald owner.

If he’s done that calculation, then he’s doing the wrong maths. The question he should be looking at is the value to Spurs of one season of Kane. For example, if that figure is £50m (and that’s a very generous figure I think), then selling for £100m is a no-brainer.

You really think it's worth losing about £100m to keep him for 1 year?Then do it, Levy still wins.
I can think of a third, retaining Kane may kelp attract other players they want to sign for themBasically exactly this.

He cost us sweet feck all? Are u dense or do we need to spell it out for you? U are equating Levy’s l price to what he is worth to us? Levy is equating it on what he is worth to you…. Kane cost us feck all, if he leaves for nothing he cost us; zip. You do the math.
Yeah, but they will have had another year of winning nothing and hanging around the Europa League places, so who's the real winner eh?That is one hell of an easy way to look at it. As of now he is an asset who can give you good money if you move him on. Next year he will move for free. Do the maths mate, you stand to lose the asset for nothing.
Levy will sell imo.
I don't think you've watched very much of us if you think we're Harry Kane away from a title. He's good but he ain't that bloody good. We're miles off it in our play.Clearly he doesn’t know our little bald owner. Levy cares only about 1 thing, £, he will have calculated and understood Kane’s value to United. I genuinely believe if you signed Harry you could win the title, so has Levy. If you want him, pay for him.

I totally agree man, I was being sarcastic!Well the money is a sure thing and you can invest them. A player who might be very ready to go could be bad to keep. But it’s not definite anything. I just know that personally I would sell him.
There was never a move to City. They tried to hijack our deal with an (at the time) eye-watering £35m bid for a player I believe even Levy was only asking £30m and a bit of change for. Levy accepted, but Betba (understandably) didn't want to go to some mid-table side. It did spur (heh) us to up our bid sufficiently for Levy to accept it though.Yeah but u said he is easy to deal with, you had to tap, tap, tap then ambush his move to City, and pay a *fine*…. How is that easy to deal with?
the one thing Levy is not, is an idiot. He knows this only too well - the issue seems to be this face-saving standoff everyone at Spurs is in the middle of. It's probably good sense to just leave them to it for now, but I'd love to see the reaction to us putting in a realistic bid, say 70-80m. It would bring things to a head one way the other.
Do think Levy would sell to PL @ £100m ….though realistically imagine £70 - £80m.Rather use the apparent Mount funds and add in more to try and get Kane.
I'd rather Kane for 100m than Mount for 60m.
Not sure if Levy would sell for 100m to a PL rival.

If we can't do more than one big transfer in a summer we might as well call ourselves Luton Town - you'll also see that earlier in this thread, I've said I was presuming we'd been bought by proper owners. And we could find the first £40m by not buying somewhat-ordinary Chelsea midfielders...So you would sacrifice getting an Onana/Maignan/Costa to sign him then because clearly we couldn't do both
My guess is that if we made our interest official, Kane would seek the move. He very clearly wants out and has also never said he want to move abroad. So, again I say: we'll only know if we make a bid. My it seems we are not going to now. so the mods might as well close this threadDon't read the guardian, never did, especially when they had their racist chant at our badge. As for making an offer, Kane would have to be agreeable to a move to United. This has never been reported ever even by Davie's Auntie's Taxi driver. Now the conservation clearly changes if behind the scene he tells United he wants to come to us but clearly that hasn't happened. So why would you bid ? for paper talk?. Levy isn't selling so only Kane submitting a transfer request changes the narrative.
who thinks that?I love how people think that if Qatar buys us they'll splash 300, 400 million right away.
London PaladiumOn what stage does Kane need to prove anything? Ffs
Most pro Qatar posters.who thinks that?
I'am anti Qatari takeover, but wouldn't they? What's the point then?!I love how people think that if Qatar buys us they'll splash 300, 400 million right away.
