Harry Kane | Bayern Munich player

We don't know what Kane's priorities are. If his main goal is to finally win some trophies, his best chances are in: 1. Bayern, 2. Real, 3. Spurs. 4. United. Thats bookies predicted last season. I didn't even realise United's chances were rated so low. Now i'm sure he won't sign with United cuz the chances of trophies are negligible and the bigger money can he earn elsewhere. The final aspect - no desire to leave England (family, kids), then Kane will extend his contract with Spurs.
In England, Kane already has an established brand and significantly his marketing value will not change. In a new market, he is gaining a very large audience at the beginning.

Munich has atleast 2 international schools with main language English that are very good - they are expensive but that should be not problem for Kane. He probably sends his kids to private schools in London, too, that should not be really cheaper.

It takes 2 hours to fly to London with a private plane. That should not be a big handicap either to have family over in Munich - or fly back to London for some time. His wife seems to like to go into skiing holidays in the Alps - just takes an hour to do that from Munich. You actually do not need to learn too much German (it is good when you do) to get around as most people understand English.
 
He’ll sign a contract. Bayern is for show. Plus that strike was half assed at best
Yep. Only Harry Kane is stupid enough to do this. I'm fully conviced he is gonna sign that contract and end his career at Spurs, winning nothing of note.
 


Levy is delusional, it's as if he thinks spurs are title challenging side or that selling kane to say us or Liverpool would be the main catalyst behind either side beating spurs to ucl football when the reality is spurs will bottle it with or without kane next season, the only difference is both spurs and kane lose out by him staying there next season as spurs potentially will lose him for free and kane spends another season trophy less
 
I think the club is right to get all other business done, then making all the sales we can to see if a late window deal for Kane can be done.

Kane rarely scores in August anyway... let's buy him on the 31st ;)

He's been heavily criticised by spurs fans for not having the club's best interests in mind with his decisions. Could be he's afraid of making a move that will anger them at this point.

Oh yeah any deal for Kane will be late in the window, if it is at all possible.

They’ve qualified for 1 out of the last 4 CL with prime Kane at their side.
This is an ego trip. The same way it was easy to predict Levy would get fecked off with Bayern over some nothing slight and make them pay or not even do business with them…and then it happened.
He is terrible at selling players.

It’s all an ego trip. Spurs would be much, much better off selling Kane now and reinvesting the money back in to the squad, than keeping him for another year and losing him on a free next summer. But I suppose there’s always the chance he’ll renew his contract and end his career there.
 
Waiting to see if he’s receptive? He will be receptive if you make him an offer he can’t refuse for a 29 year old with a year left on his contract. It’s that simple. You got to make his head spin or don’t bother.
 
If we United were a serious club we would've went all in for him around 2016 or 2017 when he proved he was world class or at least on the verge of being world class and wasn't a one season wonder.

From his point of view i bet he regrets not pushing hard enough for City in 2021...where will he go now? Bayern? PSG? Stay and leave on a free next year? At the moment for £90+ million I can't see him at United..we'll see.
 
Sell:
- Martial: £15m (because of high wages)
- McTominay: £30m
- Maguire: £25m
- Fred: £15m

Total sales £85m. Buy Kane for £100m.

Mount: £55m
Onana: £45m
Kane: £15m, on top of above sales.

Then we need a cheap midfielder to replace Fred and McT.
 
United would be missing a trick to not put in a bid of 100 million and levy would be an idiot to not take 100 million with this being his final chance to get a great value on selling kane.

Kane may not have resale value if we brought him but he would give us our greatest chance of competiting with city and he is another shearer in that he will still be class up until the age of 35/36 in the premier league and in a worse case scenario if we looked to replace him as striker before then he could probably still do a great job in a deeper position as a 10 or even as a 8 with just how clever and well rounded he is as a footballer.
 
With Maddison signed I really doubt it. Could be a great combo for Spurs and the new manager.
 
No energy should be spent on him this summer. He is free next year, and we can offer him a gigantic salary to tempt him.
 
I think we can try in Jan when the pressure is really on. If he still has not signed a new contract at Spurs, i think they will be ready to sell him rather than letting him go free.

I don't think we could get him now, unless we pay stupid money, which I am not sure we have.
 
He isn't signing a new contract, 300k/week is a joke for someone who can get a 20m signing-on fee next year.
This is where his brother is supposed to earn his coin. Whatever offer is on the table, his brother should be pointing out it'll be matched or bettered elsewhere, with that signing on fee on top.
 
I see that the Bundesliga defense force is back in action - would have expected them to take a break after what transpired last season when Dortmund in classic fashion as with all the other non-Bayern clubs in the league couldn’t win the league even when it was gifted to them on a silver platter.

The league outside of Bayern has been a joke for a while.
 
There's something in me that says this could still be on you know.
I reckon we're just waiting. Levy is probably trying to see if he can get Kane to stay, if he doesn't Levy will sell he's not going to cut off his nose to spite his face.

Well, considering he was involved when Kane signed that insanely long contract extension with Tottenham, with no exit strategy apart from trusting Levy to sell, i really wouldn’t expect much from him in terms of «earning his coin». The only thing to expect seems to be bad advice.

Probably the most stubborn man in football. Surprised he has a nose left with all that spite.
 
If Spurs don't want to sell to a PL club, let's just give Bayern money to buy him for us. Easy solution!
No clue if it's legal, but i'm sure other clubs have done similar things....

Who buys Martial for 15m?
 
Call me delusional but I won’t shut the door on this possibility right until the end of the window, more so if the takeover gets completed beforehand.

I’d be especially interested once we play Spurs in August.
 

Our club can't sell for shit. They had one of the most iconic footballers in the world leave for free midseason and able to get a bumper contract of 200m per season.

An astute club would have been able to claw a transfer from that deal.

Whereas Chelsea are able to get money for Mendy and Koulibaly...

Calm down. After the interview and everything else, we needed rid of him.
 
Are we going to waste the summer chasing him De Jong style - only for Levy to say no in September?
Probably not, I think we'll put rashford and Hojlund as our CF options and buy some LW depth. It's a bit of a nothing statement, because obviously we would be open to signing him if anything changes, but why would levy be receptive later in the window?

Saudi was a last resort. He spent months chasing a CL club.
 
If Bayern is so hopeless as you write and loses 5-0 to everyone, why did the bookies make them as the main favourite to win the Champions League before the start of last season? Did they want to lose money? Don't look at the Bundesliga level! Bayern plays in a completely different league to the rest in Germany. There are 17 clubs + 1 Bayern. They weaken their league rivals every year by buying the best players from them. Something unthinkable in the Premier League (Levy). Even having a disastrous previous season, they won the league (11x in a row). IMO a lot of the credit for that goes to Neuer's injury, without it they would have secured the title a few rounds before the end of the season.

BTW. If you want to run 90 minutes every three days for a measly 20 million a year, send your CV to Munich. If they take you on (why wouldn't?), in a year you'll have more trophies than Kane :D
I didn't say Bayern was hopeless, just that their chances in the CL is not any better than many other clubs, signing for them in the hopes of winning a CL is stupid.
Sure, United is the 3rd most popular club in the world. That is not disputed by anyone. However, the difference that the 2 top clubs (Real, Barca) have over United is bigger than United has over the 10th club on the list. Depending on which ranking you come across, there will be Liverpool, Juve, Bayern, City, PSG, Chelsea, etc (random order).

You gave a cool example of Rooney. Are you able to check the number of followers he has on social media vs Beckham? My intuition tells me that the 2nd will have 2x more.

I'm not sure using IG/FB followers is the best guide of popularity, otherwise you'd have PSG in 4th place in the world. Anyway, an argument for another day.

Beckham is not exactly the best comparison, is he? It helps immensely to be good looking, and he played for Real Madrid as well as United.

I accept that he's more likely to win trophies at Bayern or Real, how did you arrive in the conclusion that he's more likely to win something at Spurs? :lol:

Since you like looking at odds so much: https://www.oddschecker.com/football/english/premier-league/winner

United are 4th favourites at around 11-13, Spurs are at 41-51 for the Prem.
 
What do you think defoe did? As he actually moved around a lot.
Spent his prime years at spurs while not winning anything until he won the Scottish league at the age of 38 I believe.

I recon Kane could end up with a similarly mediocre career.
 
I feel uneasy with the links to United refusing to go away. He is 30, would cost a fortune and has a history of failure for both club and country. Also missed the most important penalty of his career when facing a has-been club team mate in goal. Obviously, not to say that he is not a great player, but the time for this transfer was at least 4 years ago, not now.
 
He’ll sign a new contract with a legal obligation to wear a T-shirt with Levy’s bald head in every game, lifting his Spurs jersey up every time he scores.

Posters who are worried about him signing can relax, he isn’t coming.
