I don’t know a club right now that he would pick over us in all honesty. We are his best option.
We like to believe that, but from Kane's POV, maybe he doesn't think that.
He could prefer Bayern over United.
Looks like this might just be unraveling for Spurs. Now the big questions - where does Kane want to go, are we his preferred option, and will he hold firm for his preferred option?
I think he 100 percent wants to break Shearer’s record and also play for one of the best clubs in Europe.
I think you may be deluding yourself.
It's a nice thought - that we might sign Hojlund and Kane. The master and the apprentice.
Back on planet earth it is not happening. If the budget was there for that we wouldn't be seeing reports suggesting we need to sell to even pursue a 30 million euro midfielder (Amrabat). We wouldn't be seeing concerns around FFP.
I'm not sure what the confusion is around Kane. We're not getting him this summer.
Getting Kane in along with Hojlund makes perfect sense. Kane bringing a young forward on is perfect , Never gonna happen, hope it does
If Kane signs a new contract with Spurs he's somehow even dafter than he looks.
The only way I could maybe see him at Utd is on a free next year, but really I think he'll go to Bayern this window.

If he signed for us his career would go in to absolute overdrive. The jewel of English football banging in goals to take United back to the top. The media would be all fecking over it.
He goes to Bayern and it'll all be a bit meh after a brief honeymoon period. Goals will come but people won't care too much.

We don’t need to sell our whole squad to get Amrabat. Fred will do.
Therefore selling Maguire and a McTominay for instance will be enough for Kane and FFP.
Bayern sells more shirts than United and Chelsea combined btw, more than Real Madrid also, some people seem to forget how massive Bayern is.
Also what is the copium in this thread?`We already know Harry Kane has agreed terms with Bayern, two different outlets confirmed the story of his wife checking out houses and international schools in Munich. And we have know for weeks that Kane had agreed terms with Bayern and tier 1 sources said Kane gave them his "word" even for next year if Spurs refused to sell. Then Hoeness basically confirmed all that in his interview.
Yet we still have many posters here trying to argue that Kane actually wants to go to United. It is pretty bizarre. Also isn't one of Kane's motivation supposed to be winning titles?`Why would he want to go to United? With all due respect United haven't been serious contenders for titles in a decade and could realistically even miss champions-league football in any given year.
the power they have is refusing to sell to Kane's first choice for a reasonable fee (United)
I don't think he wants to wait another year to get that
And I’m saying we haven’t got £100m to pull out of our a*se..
Who would he turn down playing with half of the England squad week in week out at united for Germany? He's coming to United but is going to have to force the move at some point if Levy plays too hard and I believe the game to force Levy to sell to us has just started.
Brutal, but a grain of truth exists there. He's not particularly eloquent either. But there exists in Harry Kane a decent man who wants to do right by the club yet still ensure that he achieves his professional goals and provides for his loving wife and adorable children. Munich is a lovely city, but moving to Munich would hardly fulfill his professional goals or meet the legitimate needs of his children.
Bayern is objectively a top 2 club and he never really said that he values Shearer's record.
Btw Shearer's record one of the most meaningless arbitrary records. 260 goals is a joke.
In Bundesliga that would rank 4th, the lead is 365 and that is in a league that plays 34 games per season instead of 38.
In La Liga it would rank 3rd, the lead is 474.
In Serie Ai it would be 2nd.
In Ligue 1 it would be 2nd.
Even if Kane broke that record it would never stand the test of time.
It was a bit of a mean thing to say to be fair but I was half joking.
I quite like him, I know a lot of Utd fans on here seem to hate him but he's never really bothered me. I'd like him here but if not i'd hope he goes Bayern. He's absolutely wasting his career at Spurs.
Ange Postecoglou's press conference seems to have been the "spur" 
for this development. He bluntly told the press he can't prepare for this season in this situation due to how wildly different the team would be with or without Kane. Could you imagine being in Postecoglou's shoes, you get all the way up to deadline day with no resolution and then you lose him to Bayern? The entire season becomes an instant write-off.
If we have 60m euros for Hojlund ( Nowhere near Kane money obviously) but have a chance to get Kane with more sales....he should be our target.

Personally I don’t want Kane. I prefer the younger hojlund. Unless we are signing both. Too many red flags with Kane plus it makes our squad and key players old.
If Kane is available it would be an absolute travesty if he ends up at Bayern and PSG instead of us, especially when we're in need of a striker, no way in hell would Fergie have let him go there.
And so it begins....
The problem I'm having here is that you're assuming we already have the Hojland money. Unless I'm mistaken, all the reports seemed to indicate at the start of the window that we had a budget if 100mil... which we've already spent. The player sales you've flagged seem to me to be to raise money for Hojland, rather than being extra funds. So even if all the sales go through (a big if) we're still a long way off 100mil.
They said we had a 100m budget last year too. In short, they know feck all.
Shades of RVP if he indeed signs for us, can actually picture him and his family all settled in alderley edge, this is happening isn't it?
The legitimate needs of his children? Would be interesting what you mean with this or why living in Munich can not fulfill that.
Pity we already gave away Sanchez's number - same vibe
This doesn't make much sense. Apparently Lewis is 86, not really involved in day to day running of Spurs. And he owns 65% of ENIC with 35% owned by Levy. ENIC own 86%of Spurs. So Levy himself is a part owner.
Source for above:
So it's not like Levy works under Lewis. So this directive doesn't make sense. Unless they are using this as cover story for selling Kane to whoever.
Maybe spurs fans know more.

Guessing Joe Lewis being Spurs majority share holder gives him ultimate control on who stays and who goes?
That’s journalist ABU BS. They said the same one year ago and everyone knows how much we end spending.
If there’s a chance to make it happens, I hope it goes through. Kane is exactly what we need to become true title contenders. He will be like RVP, but with more longevity due to having a better injury record.
Nah he is only going to Bayern,unfortunately for us his wife is now on board which is last thing we wanted to happen

Considering the Bayern links have gone dead, can we consider these as possible posturing and nothing but attempts to make MUFC match a bid late on ?
Swap him with Maguire and Sancho? Could cover most of the transfer fee (if Spurs are dumb enough) and the wages
Spurs brains aren't in the tuck shop
Years ago maybe but when did SAF ever sign ready made players, if he had the belief in Hojlund that EtH supposedly has then I reckon he'd be the one SAF goes for.
United doesn't buy superstars it makes them.
Kane will go to Bayern. Levy will sell for cut price . If Kane makes it very clear that it's ManUtd or he will leave on free transfer next season, we have decent chance but don't see Kane doing that.
Yes but all the Spurs fans are saying Lewis doesn't get involved at all with Spurs. Apparently his daughter is somewhat involved but they are all surprised in that thread and Spurs forum about Lewis saying anything at all. Not to mention this weakens Spurs hand
Still a mere pipe dream but @Mickeza makes a very valid point about it being interesting that Utd journos broke it
Admire the stance but just remember he is your top target Erik and is worthy of exception
Not only that but i’m not sure why multiple people in this thread are convince Fergie would spend upwards of 100million and insane wages on a 30 year old Kane, no matter how good he is. You make it sound like the man is dumb, he more than likely would have seen it as a stupid short term investment, he’d be more likely chasing Evan Ferguson.
RVP, Owen ? Both forwards, too... Maybe there's something there.
Owen already past his prime, in my memories. But in that sense certainly a finished article. (Free transfer however so maybe not really comparable).
Maybe I'd put RVN up there too. Second largest transfer fee paid by an English club that year (Veron to United).

One thing Levy is master at is, fecking up manager's preparation. He has done it in the past too, now he will do it again. Spurs manager won't be happy that the preparation for next season is fecked as manager doesn't know whether will have Kane or not.
Either MUFC actually made ETH the CEO of Manchester United or Murtough and Arnold are so scared to make any decision that they brief the media about everything being Ten Hag's idea.
