Harry Kane | Bayern Munich player

He's wasted his club career. Should have been playing for an elite club years ago.
That is how I would describe your post. I mean youre deluded and a lot of others are deluded by assuming that someones ambition is the same as anothers i.e. win as many trophies as possible. Perhaps just perhaps Kanes ambition was always to win with Spurs which would have meant more than winning a trophy with a club he has no affinity to.
So yeah - perhaps he isnt the one deluded.
Do we really need to justify ourselves with pity PR? Yes we didn’t get him, it happens, not the end of the world. But this news coming out how he was demanding 500+ k per week, comparing contract costs of him vs Rasmus, and now this that he hasn’t improved and drops deep, blah, … as if we only found out about all of this now.
I am sure Kane knows he won’t be getting 500 k £ anywhere, at least not from a club in Europe.

Stinks of briefs.
However I think Spurs have identified that losing Kane bringing in Maddison and Veliz can be replaced in the aggregate.
A creator and a beast in the box. Veliz is a very Ange Postecoglou type signing.
It’s the classic “he’s shite, I didn’t want him anyway” line.
Sooner he goes to Bayern the better,clearly he's not prepared to wait for more options
Like a dude who didn’t get the girl. „I didn’t want her anyway. Her ankles are all chubby and her neck is strange.“
The PR team jump the shark.

Why bother doing this as it's only gonna make our fans more frustrated
People believe garbage mate.
There are already otherwise sensible folk in here who’ve persuaded themselves Højlund is a better signing than Kane.
I do believe he offers more in terms of an all around game but obviously Kane's goalscoring and playmaking is exceptional
This is just Andy Mitten sharing anecdotes on a podcast mind - If this was a brief/PR move all the main United journalists would be publishing pieces on this. Think people bashing the club for no reason here
I'm talking in terms of the pressing and running in behind to get on the end of things,obviously all areas need working on but Erik and Benni's coaching will help with that
How do we know mitten isn't peddling fluff to get clicks anyway.
I mean, spending 100m and 300k/w + on a 30 year old is *almost never good business. That's not to say he won't keep it up for another 3-5 years, there are just more sensible moves out there and there's no way to know how it'll turn out, and it happens far more often that those older big money signings don't end up worth it. Kane would be better for the immediate few years of course, but Hojlund is a potential elite CF who can hold the position down long term, which is what they are clearly looking at. We already have a good chunk of key players that will need replacing in 2-3 years. Bruno, Casemiro, Varane...it's not unreasonable to think going for the younger guy who might grow into an elite player is just the better transfer to make rather than going all out for success in the next 2 years and be left with a huge mess to deal with in 2025.
That's actually a sensible way of looking at things,the trouble is by the time he's hitting top form we will need to replace those three
Hojlund may succeed or fail that's the separate thing but the arguments against Kane's signing which Mitten has alluded to were already discussed and raised by several posters Including me here , so it's not that far fetched to think that Some at United's might have had same reservations and came to similar conclusion.
I agree.
I think as far as pace and power along with the ability to press aggressively, Hojlund is better for us and also due to where we're as a team in our development. I actually really like Hojlund's profile where his physicality, pace and power along with his pressing would really suit us in a league which is very high intense.
Depends what he wanted doesn't it,sounds like initially it was finished article in Kane. He was then obviously made aware of what a nightmare Levy is to deal with, therefore made the right call to switch to more of a potential talent in Hojlund. Clearly he didn't want a scenario where he ended up with no one for second summer running.
See I am not saying ETH prefers Hojland over Kane But just pointing out that some did have reservations about Suitability of Kane for United for various reasons . Just to answer your Question Ten Hag is Ultimate Pragmatist I believe he would have definitely gone for Kane and would have tweaked his system and made it work .

There is a price & wages point at which the potential guy makes more sense than the already elite guy. No idea if it was a case of we just aren't able to do Kane vs we chose to go for Hojlund over Kane at the prices mentioned.
Most/almost ever manager would prefer the already elite guy. The club should be able to overrule and make that call on whether we should go for a younger guy. City did it with Haaland rather than stumping up the cash for Kane, worked out great for them.
isn't that what you ultimately want in a CF? all around game is secondary

I mean Haaland wasn’t exactly the young risk type given his goal record prior to joining.
I still think we would have gone and got Kane, but my suspicion is that to get him would have meant wrangling with Kane and running a massive risk that Levy doesn’t sell until the last minute, or rides it to the last minute and we get no one.
for years we have slated the transfer team for not getting players in early, for leaving our business until the last minute. Even if somehow levy agrees to sell to us , which I still doubt, I think we would see the same thing Bayern are, this constant in and out. Kane clearly wasn’t going to push for a move so it would have been another de Jong potentially. Everyone said that made us look like idiots last year.

The running joke is that spurs are incapable of winning a trophy and that they always crumble under pressure. Don't tell me that's news to you! That's what makes any hope of winning a trophy with them unrealistic and what I and the poster I responded to were referencing. Hope that clears things up, Harry.
If I speak…….
The PR team jump the shark.
Walk away mate, walk away.
Haha! I’ve already ran a mile!
Literally was just a throwaway comment. Infuriating how people run with comments.
I’m sure Spurs are quivering
Yeah...what could go wrong pressuring Levy and offering him a perfect opportunity to act like the toughest guy around again...
and wait instead till the last day, risking going into the new season without a striker at all? Tottenham has to say YES or NO. Simple as that.
Dream scenario is bayern don't agree a deal this window, we start the season well and are in title challenge range by January, spurs are faltering and our takeover is complete and funds are made available to go out and get Kane for a statement signing and to drive a title race until the end.
Then I woke up.
