That's irrelevant because Ronaldo wouldn't have been remotely interested in them. If there was a bid from United and Bayern on the table then he would choose us IMO.

Come on rat Glazers. You know what to do. This would make us instant title challengers overnight.
Neville's theory will be put to the test very soon then.
Of course but you’re living in cuckoo land if you think we’re spending £180m on 2 strikers when one of them is going to be benched.
No club has ever spent £72m on a player with the intention of him being a sub.
You're mandated to reply, that's a new one.
If we don’t match the bid, and use the similar amounts of £ on Amrabat & Pavard we are beyond stupid.
We spent £64 million.
No chance. Ronaldo would have gone for the team more likely to win the CL. It's why he threw a strop to leave last summer after we missed out.
Exactly, he'd be a waste of money at this stage. 2/3 years ago he was worth it. But, 100m now when he has 1 year left on his deal, no chance.
He really screwed himself over by signing that big deal at Spurs. Forget about legacy, a player of his talents should have been playing his peak years in a side capable of winning big trophies. He was never doing that at Spurs.
If we are owned by oil club with unlimited money then why not.
No chance what? Ronaldo only wanted to play for Madrid.
You're living in cloud cuckoo land if you think its £180m
Who’s ever spent that much for a player to make him a sub?
We can afford it.
So he is bayerns for 100 mil. So you’re adding another 20mil PL tax on top of that. Plus we have signed hojlund. Too good to be true unfortunately.
Does Kane really want that dumb scoring record of Shearer’s? Because I’d take a shot at winning stuff rather than going after some record every day of the week. At least Bayern have a shot at winning the CL most years, regardless of whether they sleepwalk into German domestic honours.
That's just where the current fees are in football now. £60 million is now the new 30/40 million.
I would happily sacrifice some of next years transfer kitty to match their bid,however let's face it Levy rejects it anyway and Kane isn’t willing to tell him he only wants Utd move. IF we got any encouragement from his camp then wouldn’t have ended interest at start of June.
Should stay at Spurs and go wherever he wants next summer in my opinion.
I’ve looked it’s BS.
@roonster09
As Harry Kane’s advisor you cannot contact me to say you have approved a bid from Bayern for X amount and then you get contact from Manchester United saying they will match the bid for LEVY to turn round and reject it.
What happens then is Kane’s representatives say he prefers to stay in England and play for Manchester United. Levy cannot just say no. We did the same thing with Beckham and Barcelona.
The only thing that can alternatively happen is for Levy to agree to negotiate with us but even then we aren’t going to pay over the odds.
City now want to spend more than 70m on Paqueta. Maybe he makes their bench, but that’s about it
Yes and I'd assume it's an offer he's happy with.
Re this pressure, there was an article saying Joe Lewis has told him he wants Kane either sold or on a new contract. People totally misinterpreted that as though Joe Lewis is his boss. Levy owns 30% of the club, they are partners. They have also worked together for a long, long time. It's not some ultimatum.
And even now it’s never been done. No one has spent that much for a sub.
You’re in for a big shock when you see Utd make absolutely no approach for Kane. Some of you better get the tissues ready.
+ Champions League, FA cup and League cup. We can win a quadruple
So you're selling Maguire, McTominay, VDB & Fred with no replacements in their positions? That'll go well
Yeah Gary you are about to have some serious egg on your face. Carragher will bring it up on MNF that's for sure
I'm welcome to reply. Just as you're welcome to post.
United are not going to pay over 100m for Kane when they could have him for free next summer.
If Ronaldo wanted to go to Chelsea 1 Madrid wouldn’t have bid and 2 again we would have to negotiate with Chelsea.
I don't expect us to.
I'd say we'd be the favorites for the second with a slight chance fluking in a win.
Pretty decent all around.
As a club we aren't ready to win the league. It takes time to implement the system. Time on the training pitch. Time to bed players in. Time for the manager to adapt to iron out issues. We have a better shot at winning the CL than the league. City with their squad, resources and Pep who is up there with the very best managers of all time have such a hold on this league that while yes, we can win it (now or if Kane comes), it's highly unrealistic this season anyway to jump 20 points. And 20 points likely won't even be enough. We outperformed our xPts by about 10 anyway, and making the jump from a top 4 team to a title challengers to actually winning it are all massive jumps. It's a year too soon to think about the title.
And in terms of system, Kane in and we are overly reliant on Rashford for any pace in behind still. He's not quite a perfect fit. And he drops back more and more, would that mesh with Bruno? He doesn't hold the line up front like what we want from our #9, he doesn't offer any threat in behind. That's not to say he isn't world class, but just that it isn't a perfect fit and his age and injury history are obvious causes for concern where a decline might not be far away, in addition to the age profile just being a bit too old where he might start declining by the time we're actually ready to properly challenge. At a price yeah, do it. At 100m, in our state, would be idiotic.
Tottenham will fall off cliff without Kane.

Not singing Amrabat & Pavard/Todibo to replace the outgoing players and instead buying Harry Kane would be the stupid thing to do...
Then Levy will just say for PL clubs the price is different and it's not something unexpected either. Spurs and ManUtd rivals, ofcourse it takes bigger bid.
I am gutted he isn't ever coming here but honestly have accepted Bayern will get him. They did so much running over this and deserve for it to finally pay off for them
It comes down to, how much do we want to win the league or atleast compete? how serious are we about going for it and competing with the best. It’s going to take something special to do it. Hojlund alone might not score 25/30 goals in his first season, will that be enough? Will he be the RVP type signing we need? Or is he an investment for the future in the mould of Alvarez at city and one for the future? No reason both players can’t be important. No reason we couldn’t have both other than financial.
as my above post just stated, this one won’t happen.. but it would be a massive move and is probably the singular most game raising signing we could make. It would be a real mic drop moment.
City have haaland and Alvarez.
Kane and hojlund isn’t a million miles off that.
But Levy would still want more money.
It doesn't matter if they are partners or if Joe Lewis is a superior. Point is Lewis can put significant pressure in his capacity to have a resolution that doesn't include him ticking down and leaving for free.
And we'd have made it incredibly difficult and demanded more than £80m.
