Levy doesn't have an obligation to accept the same bid from Utd. He'd just turn it down and we'd look stupid.
They might if Kane said I want to join United
its not done in real time. Its not like you have to have X now to sign Y. We can sign Kane then balance the books.
I actually don’t want him to leave the Prem - be a shame seeing someone so close to Shearer’s record and leave now.
Levy is too petty and Spurs are run too badly for normal logic to apply.
Agree. And it’s not like they don’t have the resources to move and take care of their newborn and their family. Munich is actually a pretty cool place to live when you have money.
He should definitely go. Try to win the Bundesliga and fight for the Champions League. I’d actually love to see him at United but there’s no way Levy would let him join us even if we somehow match the bid.
That's a huge FFP risk, you're assuming we get value for the outgoings - and right now that's not looking likely.
Its worth a fax, nothing to lose.
There is nearly £100 million on the table now though. Less than what I thought it would take to get him.
Maybe we should just submit a bid so that the media can't say "they didn't even try for Kane" anytime Hojlund doesn't score a Hat-Trick.
Although they will still just say we didn't try enough or whatever.

With what money?
I’d like to know more about the timeline in that case. Might be that she learned something about herself after being with you.
Harry doesn't know he can now watch Eastenders abroad really easily, you don't have to stay just for that mate.
We have more than enough. We are just choosing not to spend it.
If a Prem club comes in with a bid Kane would move. He's chasing the Shearer record without a doubt.
Not when Kane says he isn’t going to Bayern. At that point, Levy is utterly stuck. If Kane chooses Bayern over us then so be it but I’m confident that he won’t if the wages are in the same ballpark.
They leak we bid for him. Publicly we look desperate and that we don't want to go through a season with only Hojlund (which is true but you don't want to advertise how desperate you are).
Sell rasmus, add 30 mil. Get KANE.
Remember that £94.5m figure if this goes through, because that is going to be used against United if we’re struggling at any point and pundits are going to say why we didn’t spend a bit more.
We all know Levy would have set us a price of £140m to sign him

Did you just forget the 180M we’ve already spent?
I said this month or so ago. Wait for Levy to accept them throw our bid in on the off chance Kane chooses us.
The plan all along was two strikers with Hojlund being the understudy.
The deal also appears to have a large amount of the money up front, which I don't think we could afford to do?
Why? To look stupid?
For once we are doing the right things in the transfer market and few want to go back to old ways.
Show the fans and the football world we are a serious club. The PR in attempting is much better than a big what if.
Yes we could if needed. We have a massive revolving credit facility and let's face it the Glazers aren't leaving so there isn't much stopping us from using it.
Look stupid?! The best striker in the league is available and we don't even attempt it. No one will think it's stupid bidding for him, even if it is rejected.
Is it a football manager thing or a Fifa thing or something?
Why do people seem to think if we lodge a similar bid Levy has to accept it?
We all know if he's demanding 100m from Bayern he'll want about 120m from us

We all know if he's demanding 100m from Bayern he'll want about 120m from us
So putting in a bid that never going to be successful and that we can't afford to even back up makes us a serious club?
Makes us sound like a bunch of clowns I'd you ask me.
When Levy has an easy way out to sell the player to outside league why will he accept similar bid from us?
People running the clubs are not stupid, as much as fans want to believe that .
We have to make much more larger bid with much more favorable terms for Levy to accept the bid.
Bang on.
I'd be willing to bet if Kane was German or French playing for someone in La Liga, Bundesliga etc.. in a similar scenario lads wouldn't be as giddy wanting United to spend £100m
Woodward era
I think he’ll be a goal machine for you. Without sounding condescending, especially in the Bundesliga which is a bit more open.
A 30 year old Kane is a 25 year old player who relys on pace.
I can just imagine the playmaking and passes Kane will provide the likes of Gnabry, Coman and Sane.
No way. 100m+ euros is just crazy when we could use that money elsewhere.
Im delighted we’ve gone for a young, highly exciting prospect in Hojlund.
So Harry Kane’s (and Gary Neville’s) masterplan is to rely on Levy behaving with a degree of honour and in a way that favours the player’s interests over those of his club? It’s a bold strategy, let’s see…..etc
Or that we at least tried our best getting the best center forward avaliable without delaying our business the way we did last year with frenkie, it's not all that negative and I don't think anyone truly believes we bought Rasmus to be a starter from get go.
How on earth would us putting in a bid we know will be rejected and we can't even afford anyway be a message to show we're a serious club
It would be the total opposite.
