Yep that is the brutal truth of this situation and unfortunately there is no hiding from it
If we signed Kane, we'd end up with the WWE one, and not the good WWE one either. We'd end up with Glenn Jacobs the Republican politician.
Me too. Ange will be thinking that he wished he never left the easy number that he had at Celtic now.
Them losing Kane is as big a blow as when Fergie retired in 2013.
How exactly is Levy irrelevant in all this? Whether we spoke to Kane or not is unknown to us but even if we spoke to him and got encouragement, we still had to deal with Levy.
Short of Kane kicking up a fuss, which is highly unlikely from him, what else can you do.
Do you genuinely believe arguably the best player in the Premier League would have no interest from any club within the League? The single biggest obstacle is Levy which makes him the most relevant person in this saga.
Is there anyone, anywhere in the world, who gives a solitary feck what Paul Merson thinks about anything?
I bet even his mum rolls her eyes and switches off when he starts talking.
Not sure about this. Let's review it at Christmas and at the end of the season when it all pans out . I think our signings are very exciting.
People won't look at his Bayern tenure as a success unless they win the CL but that's a strong possibility now in my eyes.
They have arguably the best squad in Europe now on paper, only City can compare.
I expect a European golden boot and Ballon D'or shouts in his future

City's still better.
Comfortably.
The voice in his head is probably screaming "no you bellend, nooooooo" everytime he opens his mouth or puts pen to paper.
I will probably feel differently come Monday but right now I am absolutely wallowing we didn't activate Kim RC and waited it out for Kane like Bayern did. Two signings I was absolutely desperate for us to make alas it's not to be.
You’d rather have Mount and Højlund than Kim and Kane?
Levy is the only person who matters, Kane has no say on whose bids get accepted. Kane only matters if you can somehow convince him to kick up a fuss to leave Spurs and he was never doing that. He has shown no backbone or desire to push for a transfer. Its been clear since when City bid for him that Kane will never push to leave the club, so therefore the only person who can decide where Kane might go is Levy.
We would have all loved to have signed Kane but how many times does it need to be reiterated that Levy was never going to let his most prized asset join us.
Levy was never going to sell Kane to us for the same amount Bayern have paid for him
Being 30 does not mean that there is no room for development anymore. A new system, different players etc. will be a learning curve, too.
And I think actually that people will see it positive that he got out of his comfort zone at Tottenham - unlike all the other English professionals.
The Premier League hasn't been a 1 horse race for most of the past decade? Going to Bayern is in no way a weaker move than if he had joined City a few seasons ago and I don't remember very many people having an issue when it looked like it was happening.
Romano is on it this summer isn't he? Getting in ahead of Ornstein in multiple big transfers. Think Romano must have saw the Redcafe hate and took it personally.
Unfortunately neither of us can prove either way
such a meaningless move for Kane
What would have been a meaningful move?
Merson is a grade A cnut. If we'd signed him he'd have had an article saying it was a poor signing for xyz reasons
Many including myself will say us
Shame. Would've been fun to see Bayern getting pied off
Who said he can only go to Bayern. The fact is that I don't see all these other better bidders? The only good move for him is to see out his contract so that he can join...united because the world starts and ends there? Calling it a bad move is ridiculous.
Many united fans you mean. Let the guy go abroad and discover life at a top club outside the island.
Think we would have sat tight and not walked in June had we not got other issues in the starting XI. Sadly for us the timing of his availability was when we needed too much
Bayerns hardly a bad move but if he goes on and wins 3 or 4 Bundesligas plus domestic cups but no Champions League, it will all feel a little bit meh.
Wouldn't be surprised though if he and Bayern do win it while hes there.
It’s a great move to a giant club with guaranteed trophies. He has 3-4 years to win them and has made the right choice.
It will hurt as spurs fans but this manager would have had to adapt his system round him. It’s better to get a fresh start and start recruiting players that will be perfect fits for the system, which the manager has already said Richarlison is.
Spurs simply couldn’t have afforded to write off a £100 million asset.
Richarlison is going to shock some people this season. He is a baller.

He’s thick as pig shit.
He thinks we’d win the title if we just got Kane. That doesn’t even make logical sense. Of course it would improve us but it doesn’t mean we would win the title.
Even with Kane, City still have a better goal scorer in that position. So his argument would only stand if the other 10 Utd players were better than City’s other 10, which they ain’t. So not sure what his logic is.
He really isn't. Incredibly average that guy.
United obviously
I wonder if the medals are given to him when he signs the contract, or does he have to go through the formality of the games to get one.
He is Brazil’s number 9 and very highly rated over here. He is going to surprise you.
I've been watching him in the Premier League for years. He is nothing special.
He's not some mystery signing, he's been in the PL for 6 years, everyone's seen him play plenty.
I do agree that I think Richarlison is capable of doing a job and has much more in his locker than he's shown at Spurs. Conte never really trusted him.
But to be honest he's going to have to go some to fill the hole Kane leaves. That's the problem. They're going to have to be a far better football team to compensate for that.
Haaland was of course helped out by having a supply provided by a guy called Kev and his mates while Kane... Well,we all saw Spurs last season.
United have players capable of supplying Kane to a similar extent that KdB and co supplied Haaland. Our problem isn't creating but scoring so you might reasonably expect Kane would solve that problem.
Oh well.
Dreams well and truly crushed by this news
The difference between winning your league and being a genuine contender for the champions league vs coming 3rd. They most likely choose Bayern unless we won the league last season
