Harry Kane | Bayern Munich player

Wow that's a dumb move by Hoeneß. Levy won't exactly make it any easier for them now.
It won’t change anything. If Kane makes it clear that he won’t renew, Levy will still sell. No hurt feelings when the option is to lose 100m.
 
My first post so I'm sorry if it comes across as straight forward and before I start, I am not a spurs fan but maybe that is why I find this thread bewildering.

There ate a lot of fans from other clubs who are so concerned about Harry Kane winning stuff, are you related to him? I couldn't give a feck if he wins or not, so why do any of you care so deeply?

I mean are some of you connected in some way to him? All this Kane must leave immediately... Haha I don't get the concern. I don't see it with anyone else. Which just leads me to believe it is a spurs thing and jealousy that spurs have a striker who are pretty much scarce nowadays.
 
Still one of the best clubs and third most probable to win cl. Guaranteed league success. So why he want to miss this opportunity.
It depends on Kane's own motivations. The clock is running down on his career so he has to decide what is most important to him in the immediate term - breaking Shearer's record, the chance of winning domestic trophies in England, the opportunity to win the Champions League or finding the best financial package for himself.

If I was Kane I'd be doing everything I could to bring Madrid and United into the equation next summer. Bayern are obviously a good team but I don't know if they're necessarily a slam dunk for him. Madrid are stronger contenders to win the Champions League, and it wouldn't hurt Kane's pockets if he bides his time either. Kane could piss the Bundesliga with Bayern at any age, and my personal feeling is that the sense of achievement is diminishes when there's no jeopardy involved. He might feel differently, of course.

Winning a guaranteed trophy for the first time in his life. Bayern are guaranteed champions in Germany, Man Utd aren’t guaranteed champions in England and Madrid aren’t in Spain.

Yep, that is true. But feck that noise, it's boring :D
 
Bayern are such a bunch of utter assholes.

If any chairman deserves having their players tapped it is Levy given how narcissistic he's become with regards to negotiating player outgoings over the last decade. There's a reason we wouldn't even dare approach them despite crying out for a top class striker. He deserves everything that comes his way from Bayern.
 
Bayern are tapping up cnuts. Always have been.

Should be fined for their shit ever summer

Yea that’s utter nonsense to be quite frank.
 
Not like Bayern to be publically tapping up a player.

Hate those MF'ers.

Is there any team that publicly talks about other team's players than Bayern? Not even Florentino Perez is close to this bad!

Time after time after time, year after year after year someone in Bayern's staff is flapping their gums.
 
Incredibly unprofessional from Bayern. Levy is a cnut but I hope he sticks to his guns and demands an insane fee from them. You can’t just openly admit to tapping a contracted player up. The arrogance is astonishing.

Barcelona.
 
Would be interesting to see how he'd do at Bayern. Such an gigantic and iconic club.

I can't imagine how, being the highest goalscorer of a league (in which you've never won) could equate to winning domestic titles and maybe CLs. It would be farcical for him to not win a trophy in his career.

Which leads me to wonder why we aren't showing more interest? Maybe we are behind closed doors. Puzzling.


Kane would give us an extra 15 goals a season at the minimum imo.

Mostly Hoeneß and Rummenigge. Believe me, Bayern supporters also find them annoying. Especially since Hoeneß hasn’t held an official position at the club in years.

I'm sure deep inside he's dying to win the bundesliga so his fans can win internet arguments. Forget about the history books, it's all about not looking farcical in e-debates.

That can backfire a bit, put off future players from signing.
 
I honestly don't get why Kane want the Bayern move.

If it's about glory:
Move to Bayern: He will certainly win some Bundesliga titles, but nobody really rate these as big "achievement", so unless he get at least a CL with him as main man (big IF) there is not many "glory" he can chase at Bayern.
Stay at Spur: He will certainly surpass Shearer to become EPL greatest goal scorer, an achievement that only he has, and people will still talk about that for long time (as like Shearer).
If it's about money then obviously he will earn much more staying and sign new contract or move away next season as a free.

Next season he can still join Bayern or a lot of other big clubs, while he already have the Shearer achievement.

But again, it's the guy who keep signing contract at Spurs and then want to leave, not one but few times...
You're looking at it as an Englishman, the UK is only 1% of the world's population (counting only football fans a little more), for the rest of the world it matters more to win the German championship than to be "only"
2 in the English league.

The chances of winning the league in England and Spain are a maximum of 50%, in Germany around 80%. The same for national cups. PSG, which is the only one that guarantees an equally high chance of trophies, is a madhouse, not a well-run club. Only Bayern and Real of Europes top clubs are not supported by sheikh money. In Germany, the law doesn't allow a foreign shareholder to have a majority stake. This is a solidity, there is no risk that suddenly a spoilt sheikh will get bored with football or shift his interest to a local club (the Arab league is growing in strength). Then the deserving club will start to go downhill. In the Champions League, yes City will probably be the main favourites. Bayerns signing of Kane will go a long way towards closing the gap on the English champions.
 
I don't really see the big fuss about Bayern coming out with that. In the real world it's how football works and everyone knows it. Intermediaries are always working to secure a player's agreement and agree the outline of a contract otherwise there is not all that much point in entering into long winded negotiations. It's efficient and everyone does it. Not much point in trying to maintain an illusion that things are all done "correctly." I don't even think tapping up is a thing anymore and there is for the most part acceptance between clubs that this is the case and if we're going to maintain that any one club is more ethical than others with such things than I'd be surprised.
 
Rummenigge doesn't work for them anymore, does he? So technically he'd be an intermediary and "tapping up" wouldn't apply here.

Virtually all deals are done with personal terms agreed first through intermediaries, before the clubs formally agree a fee.
 
He’s coming and I want to see these smug Arsenal fans faces if it happens.
:confused: I think Arsenal fans would find it funny to see Kane scoring for United while Spurs goes down the table. I believe he has 2 seasons before declining and you have to restart thinking about a new #9.
Mind you it probably won't be an issue if someone has taken the club over by then.

Problem for footballers things could change in a fraction of second with career threatening injury.

They cant guarantee at any stage in their career they will be in full health after next match let alone next season. So why most footballers pick the best opportunity when they have one at present.

That's the reality of footballers. And cant blame them or less ambitious. I am sure bayern will become one of the favourites to win cl if they add kane to their squad.

It makes me wonder if we're just waiting for a bid to be accepted.

Make the same bid, gets rejected, Kane might just then kick up a bit of a fuss

Yeah wouldn't be surprised if we do this. However we will need to pay a manutd tax above bayern accepted bid.
 
100 percent think if he stays at Spurs this season he’ll join another English team next. It’s what he really wants.
To quote “Bit of a weird guess when nothing suggests this is likely at all.”

Kane isn’t happening this window. I’m actually skeptical for next year too, no guarantee he picks United, esp if we don’t get CL football.

Only hope was for him to force the move by saying he won’t sign an extension under any circumstances - that forces Levy to choose between 90m and £0 next year, surely even he can’t not sanction that deal.

As far as improving our squad, United negotiators are utterly unserious. Won’t change until new ownership and a best in class policy for club officials.

We literally have amateurs in situ, whose aim is not to win at all costs, but rather to not be slated for doing an atrocious job.

Modern United mantra - slightly better than the worst is good enough.
