Harry Kane | Bayern Munich player

Or he could wait for a year and sign for us. That's a much better option.
For us, yeah, maybe. But you can't expect him to make decisions based on what's best for United.

For Kane himself... it's a big risk with probably little reward.

I dunno about that. Even if he has an underwhelming season at Spuds, he'll still have plenty of suitors, especially on a free.

I mean we were happy to spend £55million for Mount on the last year of his contract on the back of a very poor season for him too.

The only risk for him is whether he feels he can muster another season of almost certainly winning no honours when he can have a free league title at Bayern. But again he'll be a few steps closer to breaking the record anyway.

I think he stays personally.
 
Levy cares more about upholding his image as a hard bargain than looking after the best interest of the club.
 
Well if levy is so angry about being low balled by Bayern then maybe he shouldn't have been so stubborn towards accepting bids from us or a prem side.

He knows he's toast the moment he sells Kane. So he's living on this prayer of their new coach having a Poch like impact and Kane being dumb enough to sign another contract.

Yep. Same happened when they lost Eriksen for less than half what they could’ve got. Same with the Berbatov negotiation he got praised for. Left them with Frazier Campbell up front for a few extra million.

Its so stupid though because they seem to have forgotten that the majority of their successful signings of that period were signed with the money from the Modric and then Bale sales. Those summers they bought Lloris, Eriksen, Vertongen, Dembele and then had some good youth products coming through like Walker, Rose, and Kane. So they should know how it can turn out selling a major player to fund players who can make the step up. Also, aren't they supposed to have some good young strikers and the like coming through now?

Maybe he's worried they're more likely to pull a Liverpool post Torres than a Liverpool post Coutinho type window.
 
Go in and make levy an offer that he cannot just ignore. It’s the only way you’re going to get him. It would take something serious. Also putting in a serious bid would get into Kane’s head and unsettle him.

if they can go all out for Mason mount they can do the same for kane. He is the singular Biggest signing the club could make this summer in my opinion. The most important signing the club would have made since RVP. Absolutely makes us competitive. Absolutely takes us up a level.

sell players to fund it if needs be. Atleast go all out for it early on. Try everything. If you don’t get him you got time to look elsewhere. Just try.

There is no way we are stumping up >100m, I genuinely think we though Spurs might be more sane and sell him for like 70-80m. You cant allow for Levy though.
 
This is his only chance of signing for us. Just like he had with City a couple years ago. City moved on and got Haaland and maybe we find another striker to target next summer.

I mean realistically his only chance to sign for us could be next summer, assuming he doesn't sabotage the rest of his career by signing that contract.

Only way we get him this window is if the takeover happens quickly and Qatar give us the funds to match Levy's greedy demands.
 
He could have signed a new contract a long time ago and had a much healthier bank balance. He’s clearly not interested in money and won’t sign now, it would make zero sense. He wants trophies and records, he wants a legacy
 
Levy is a prick, but let’s be honest Bayern are a bunch of absolute cnuts when it comes to openly tapping up players.

Also, it’ll be objectively hilarious if Kane signs a new deal with Spuds and never wins a thing.
 
I think we’ll move for him and offer as soon as the takeover happens.
 
A side note…it would be a nice feck you to Shearer to see Kane beat his all time record while wearing a United shirt.
 
I have a theory. Well, more a hope.
We are doing "easy" transfers now inside current budget (Mount and Onana) and waiting for a new owner who will fund big name signing (Harry Kane).
 
Maybe he's worried they're more likely to pull a Liverpool post Torres than a Liverpool post Coutinho type window.
But even post Torres, they still bought Suarez, Meireles followed by a summer of Henderson who is now captain and Enrique who was decent for them for a few years. They could easily turn the 80+ million for Kane into a few good players to fill the gaps they currently have in their squad. If they could accept a couple of years outside the top four they could even go after a couple good young players and grow their next good team, but we all know Levy either isn't bold enough for it or deluded into thinking he can spend his way out of the hole the team is currently in. And we as United fans know that throwing money at your problems doesn't work.
 
Why do I feel Levy is waiting on United to make a final push.

I think we tried to go all out for him at the start of summer, however Erik was told he would have to spread the money across positions. This led to those multiple reports of us ending our interest.

I really feel for Erik because it's clear he wants to push the boat out but his hands are tied,therefore he is being forced by our leeching owners to watch Bayern negotiate instead.

Yeah just can't see any way that takeover is sorted in time for a late move this window. Our best hope is he doesn't sign for Bayern or new contract. We can then hopefully negotiate in January with a view to signing him in the summer.

If he leaves on a free I actually could see him end up at Chelsea in the end.

A year of Poch and they'll surely be back in some form of european competition. He dosen't have to move house and while the move will be vitriolic it wouldn't be on a par with what Sol Campbell had to go through.

Kane based in Essex so he's probably surrounded mostly by West Ham fans who'd find that hilarious.

This is what Levy has to consider. Kane goes to Chelsea and wins 2-3 major trophies and things would get toxic at Spurs big time.
 
It feels a really weird saga - it’s like Spurs and Kane just aren’t talking to each other at all.

Levy is supposedly mad at Bayern for tapping up Kane but at the same time is desperately hoping Kane signs a new contract. He seems to be ignoring the fact that if Kane is prepared to consider going to Bayern he must be utterly desperate to get out of Spurs as soon as possible. Hardly the behaviour of someone who is about to commit the rest of his career to the club.

Conversely, Kane must know that his best chance of forcing a move this summer is to end this delusion that there’s any chance of him re-signing. Just make a public statement that you’ve loved your time at Spurs but want to explore new opportunities, either next summer or before. Heck, if you really want to put Levy into full panic mode, add that you are a great admirer of the football Arsenal play.

However, this plays out it’s going to be an entertaining ride. I’ve currently got a lot of sympathy for Kane but if he does end up signing a new contract it will be hilarious.
 
Bayern has won roughly 1 CL per decade, let's not pretend they've a Madrid like record.
You're better than russian propaganda. Look at 5 more years and add finals. Bayern won CL twice then and played in the final 4 times. Only Real has better statistics in this period. How many clubs in the XXI century have played 3 times in a row in the CL final? Bayern is one of them.

How do you know that his aim is to be popular outside the UK as opposed to being popular in the UK, where he'll presumably live once his career ends?
It doesn't matter where Kane will live after his career is over. More popularity = more money. I don't know anyone who would rather earn less than more. Unfortunately, Kane is a local brand. To become a global brand without leaving the Premier League, he would need to win CL or WC/EC with England.
Messi even has ads in the Indian market. No wonder, as it is next to China the biggest market for the companies with which he has contracts. Why did Ronaldo move from Real to Italy and Lewandowski from Bayern to Barca? They were changing better clubs for worse. They wanted to conquer more markets.

I mentioned Beckham cuz I think he was a worse footballer than Kane. However, he squeezed much more out of his career. Both in terms of sport and marketing (in which he is an absolute master). It's better to ask where he didn't play, instead of where he played (England, Spain, Italy, France, USA).

It's actually not that weird imo. That bald cnut knows very well he has to sell and Kane has absolutely no intention to sign a new contract.

Levy made all the noises about refusing to sell, trying to make Kane sign a new contract etc. only to make the clubs who want Kane into making higher bids or better, a bidding war so he can maximize the cash. That bald greedy prick was simply bluffing.

But as no club are stupid they all know they'd sign Kane for free in another year so none bid higher than what's fair. Levy got desperate and simply 'forget' his initial stance "we won't sell Kane whatsoever the bid" and basically told Bayern to increase their bid. But even so he's simply too greedy to even set a price he'd accept. Hence the 'Bayern need to increase their bid to €100m and I might refuse even that'. All this is simply quite childish and laughable imo. Don't think Bayern would bulge anytime soon. They're simply too smart for this.

This would be dragged for quite a while imo. Unless that bald cnut stop being too greedy.

How many of the Bayern players who won in 2013 are still there? I doubt Kane would be thinking about the 3 finals in 4 years over a decade ago in his decision, incidently United also made 3 finals in 4 years around the same time.

Fact is other than 2020, Bayern hasn't made another final in 10 years.

All your examples has more to do with Real & Barca's popularity around the world which Bayern is not anywhere close to.

Now if Real were interested, I'd say he's much more likely to give up on the PL record to go.
 
I wasn't laughing at Bayern but that bald cnut mate.

That's also how I understood it. My post was more meant as a comment to how absurd Levy's take is, not to attack you. Sorry if it came across as such. :*
