What makes you so confident
I almost wish Osimhen would go to another league for few years then get him at 27/28 after Kane has been here for 3/4 years
The Telegraph say Levy will still be demanding 100m for Kane this summer from any interested English clubs despite the fact his contract runs out in 2024.
If that's the case then forget it, I'd love to have Kane here but 100m would be ridiculous. Levy will once again be pricing Kane out of a move and he's going to be stuck there again.

Aside from psg I don't think there's anyone that could afford him aside from pl clubs.
Maybe bayern but they rarely cough up that amount of money.
If that price tag is even remotely close to true we should be staying a bazillion miles away from him.
I think he will end up at Chelsea. Just can't see him playing for us at all.
This time next year he can be formally tapped for a free signing in summer 2024. There's no way one season of a 30 year old Harry Kane is worth £100m (his signing on fee as a free agent will be significant, but still.
We have experienced quality in GK, CB, CDM, CM, and CAM.
Where we don’t is at fullback & in the wing where we arguably full with players in their prime or are young.
The only place we have no one of experienced is Striker if we look at Wout Weghorst as a loan striker only.

That's called negotiating.
He's hardly going to come out and say "Yeah I'll probably sell him for 60m towards the end of the window when I panic about him leaving for free the following year".
Why not? What's your opinion based? I'd say we're comfortably the most likely destination in this country if he leaves.
Issue with that is there's only 2 top PL teams who want a striker - Chelsea (who will be getting Nkuku) and Man UTD (who are very desperate for a #9).
Both clubs would not want to wait till deadline day to make a deal especially since they may end up without a #9 if Levy then decides to be a dick (very high probability of that), so may move on much earlier.
In that case Levy blows up his chance of getting decent money for Kane and he leaves on a free next summer.
Think if Kane leaves this upcoming summer window, it will be done by the middle of the window at the latest.
There's no chance Kane will sign for Chelsea, Spurs fan would never forgive him. Its either United or go overseas.
It's exactly that, my view is I'd only be happy with Kane if we had middle east investment, age doesn't come into play then as replacing him wouldn't really ever be an issue.
If we didn't get that level of investment I wouldn't be breaking the bank for him, I'd be looking toward younger potential.
Lets give them martial and maguire to bring down the price.
Then as we are being nice, throw in phil jones and donny for free. Cause we are nice like that.

Yes but Levy has form for this.
Anyone else yes you'd assume they were bluffing but Levy has done similar in the past. He dragged out the Berbatov sale to Utd for as long as possible meaning when he was finally sold they had no time left to get a replacement and it fecked them over. Could easily see him pricing Kane out of a move and then he goes for a cut price deal in the January or for free the summer after.
It feels like most Spurs fans are resigned to Kane going, and they'd definitely rather Kane came to Utd than Chelsea so I do still think there's a decent chance he's here next season.
With all the Weghorst pressing hype, Martial being one his pressing players at the weekend and ETH wanting the correct players I was just thinking the possibility that Kane might not be at the top of his list. I'm sure if other targets aren't possible he will be strongly considered. Both players seem really difficult to get with Levy and Laurentiis.
Osimhen is great. If Napoli wins Serie A and gets a deeeep run in CL, then I feel his job is done in Italy and can move further. Well, the price.... that will be massive. He was bought for around 70 mil, so after a successful campaign his price will be around 120.
This is what people miss. Levy isn't a great business mind, he's an egomaniacal idiot. He would prefer to get £100m for Kane than see Spurs win the CL because he loves his reputation as a "tough negotiator", even though as you've pointed out it is frequently to the detriment of his team.
I wouldn't be shocked if he prices Kane out of a move in the summer and then pretends that Kane is betraying Spurs when he moves on a free in summer 2024.
100m. The fecking balls on him. Nobody will pay that and a club will just wait until January to sign him or Kane can join a Newcastle in a free and break their hero’s record for whatever wage he asked for.
Levy is such a shit owner and his pig headiness in not doing business with English clubs has held them back

Yeah exactly.
It's cutting off his nose to spite his face as the saying goes. It would be better for everyone if he sold Kane for a reasonable price early in the transfer window, but you just know he'll dig his heels in and demand a stupid amount of money or refuse to sell which leaves everyone worse off.
He totally doesn't fit the Ten Hag style. Not sure why people don't get this. We've just spent months whinging Ronaldo wasn't mobile, pressing, fast enough, but then we keep on about Kane, who isn't any of those things either?
It'd surely be wiser to go for the hungry up and coming to peak soon type player, then the high priced limited appeal player.
Kane is a far more intelligent player who can bring others into play and isn't reliant on speed to be a good player. He's scored goals for years without ever being particularly quick.
Maybe Kane wouldn't be Ten Hag's preferred choice. We'll have to wait and see on that, but it's a complete different kettle of fish from a player who was over the hill in just about every aspect of his game.
Osimhen for £110-120m or Kane for £70-80m? Take your pick.
What would you consider a deep run in CL
Osimhen is the more longer term option who fits our system better but then Kane has proven himself in this league already
It's an odd one. When you think half our first team signings came from the Eredivise and one was a free transfer from Brentford, you must think we are looking for specific profiles with transfers. Kane doesn't really have the profile (bar the amount of goal in the prem he's scored) of any of the others strikers we're linked with.
Aside from the potential for longer service, one of the benefits of opting for a younger player is the greater future sell-on fee potential, whether they work out or not. So even with that price point comparison you have to factor in that the money spent on Kane is more likely to be "dead" money.
Yeah that extra £30m spent on him could be made back if he ends up being sold on to a Barca/Real not so much Bayern
For Napoli, it's semis. Best has been R16.
Kane would suit Rashford and (probably) Anthony more, plus adding more creativity. But Osimhem would give us more goals as another outlet for Bruno and Eriksen, and just more dynamic and much younger (more potential to develop). Although Osimhem has risk of taking more time to adapt to PL, or if he ever adapt.
Tough choice.
Tough choice.

I am still edging towards Osimhen if we can afford
You get the feeling we're a lot smarter with signings now.
Kane in 6months or 18months screams of the sort of Woodward big name signing but at the wrong time.
Might be unfair to him, but we've been scarred enough recently.
Would much prefer to trust Ten Hag to find the perfect striker who might not have the name, record or profile, but suits us as a team.
So you don't think Luke Shaw is experienced quality?
This is insane. He’s the leagues second highest scorer and currently having one of the best goal scoring campaigns of his entire career.
I suspect FM says otherwise!
