Harry Kane | Bayern Munich player

Young/-ish / expensive signings have not really worked out for us in the last decade.
Our better players are currently already either in their peak or just entering it.
And I feel Kane would fit in immediately and perfectly and will still have a lot to offer for a few years. So I prefer him.
 
I would like us to get Kane but wouldn't go a pound over £75m for him. He will be 30 and with one year left I think 75m is a fair deal.

If Spurs want 100m + then he's not going to leave is he? Again they will price him out of a move and run the risk of a free transfer next summer.
 
Seems somewhat safe to assume that Spurs won't sell Kane and will force him to stay another year. His fault for signing that contract without a buyout clause. Nothing wrong with loyalty to a club, but wanting to leave after signing the contract and complaining that they aren't competing (when there was no logic to think they would ever seriously compete) was just dumb on his side.

They'll need money to replace him though. I think they'll sell at the right price.

Yup, no chance Spurs let him leave less than £100m, which is way too much money for him with 1 year left.

PLayers who are loyal and ambitious should look to get buy out clauses if their team doesn't perform.

I see Spurs playing hard ball and Kane signing a new deal after they force him to stay. If he stays on at Spurs past this summer, we shouldn't look to sign him, we need a player who has the drive to win.

Or they may be betting on United will just buy someone else this summer, meaning the year after Kane won't have any more english clubs going for him. Spurs seem a bit stubborn with him and like they don't want to enter a rebuild and would rather stick it out with Kane than take the money and start over.

Pretty much any signing for any club should force a buyout clause in their contract like Haaland did. Ultimately it's up to the player if they want to leave even if a club meets it. Arrange something fair for a few years from then, and if the club doesn't agree then you don't extend the contract. If a player has aspirations of moving on, you just get fecked if you don't have it in.

I think they would have different valuation for domestic teams as opposed to foreign teams. Whether we like it or not Spurs is Man Utd's direct competition for top 4 spots, so if you were them you'd naturally demand way more money for selling to a competitor.

EDIT: My point is that if Kane is adamant on leaving and not renewing, then if Real Madrid come with a £70m offer this summer to replace Benzema I think Levy will sell.

Yeah I agree, any other club coming in for him from abroad will significantly cheaper. The thing is, levy knows Kane won't want to go abroad because of his pursuit of the record.

Its a shame really. Could we use Henderson as negotiation?

Having said that, I think we should explore other options before Kane.

We should not even approach Napoli with less than £150m. They paid £70m for him when he was completely unproven with just over 10 goals in Ligue 1 to his name.

That was an inflated transfer fee; around £20m of that fee was a bunch of random youth players who were never good enough but were tacked on with massively inflated transfer values. Those players never ended up even playing for Lille and their contracts were terminated a year later.
Repubblica newspaper tracked down Liguori, who is now playing in the Eccellenza amateur division, to ask just how realistic his transfer valuation was.

“I was on loan at Fermana in Serie C. In June, Napoli called and offered us two options: sign a one-year extension and stay or sign a three-year contract with Lille as part of the Osimhen transfer. What would you have done? We signed for Lille.

“However, I’ve never even been to Lille, we signed the contracts there and were left on loan in Italy.

I was valued at €4m in the transfer. This weighed heavily on my career and it really made me angry. We discovered it was not a transfer for us, it was all for someone else."

If Kane is smart, he will stay for one more year and leave on free and get good money along with good project for him. If Spurs quote close to 100m not many big clubs will be in queue for him considering his age, wages and transfer fee. However, on free lot of clubs would be interested and he might pick the best one for him.

If Kane waits another year, we won't. We'll have Osimhen or another #9 and won't need him. Clock's ticking on Kane's chances to win trophies, I doubt he'll wait it out.

Might as well get Son while we're at it. Then Kane can play with his old midfield of Eriksen and Son.

Pretty sure that was a shady deal with some other youngsters going the other way at highly inflated transfer fees.

Bayern maybe an option for him but I agree, he wants Shearer's record so we must be favourites but you can't discount Newcastle, he can get the goals there and they could pay more for him and also pay him more than United would

He only has to look at Shearere to know that is a terrible idea
 
Sarni said:
Modric and Bale went abroad though, so that was workable as Levy doesn’t perceive any of the foreign clubs as their fierce rivals. Modric himself could not move to Chelsea when he wanted.

Berbatov’s saga was extremely complicated and took much longer than it should have.

I don’t disagree, but Kane has had his chances to leave the fact he is still there is down to his own choices.

He should just leave Tottenham on a free the following year.

Well yeah, I heard some journo on Sky this morning saying United would need to pay upto £150 million to get him in the summer, we'd honestly be have to be off our rocker to go to half that for a player with one year left on his contract, and he said it with straight face aswell.

You look at these Kane rumours and I think non of it coming from our side, if we are interested then I doubt we'll go near him unless it's sub £60 million, and guaranteed to be hassle free.

He isn't a multi-millionaire due to his IQ though.

He's still a multi-millionaire a decade + after he retired so he must be relatively clever because a lot of his compatriots from his playing days aren't
 
I've a feeling ETG will go for someone younger and less heralded that's a little off the radar.
I think he still has faith in Martial and we also have Rashford.

If Kanes price is reasonable like 50m then he'll be tempted.
I think ETH wants a keeper, right back and midfielder also so won't splurge on a striker.

If I was ETH I'd be frustrated with our options in the above positions

We should just offer them a very generous offer, if levy says no, make an arrangement with kane to come the following year. I got a feeling he will stay at spurs though, levy is too difficult to deal with and he’s not a rock the boat kind of player.

Hopefully this is the case Osimhen is a far more sensible signing on all fronts. Many have this idea Kane is going to be cheap, Kane would cost 100 million perhaps Osimhen 100-120 million (GBP).

Osimhen will be closer to £150m, and perhaps exceeding that. Chelsea will be in for him also as Kane isn't an option for them, which is going to put enormous upwards pressure on the price.

Even £75m seems too much for a player with one year left. Does he have an automatic extension or anything like that?

It’s a balance though. We need a striker this summer. We can’t go into next season with Weghorst as first choice. We therefore need to sign someone and Kane is the best we can get. Also, paying for him this summer avoids the risk of a bidding war when he is on a free, when the likes of City and Liverpool might well decide it is worth that expense, despite having other number 9 options.

Conversely, Spurs need to sell him. They can’t lose him for nothing the following summer. That’s terrible business. As such, they won’t be able to hold out for £100m or whatever other nonsense figures are being held out.

My view is somewhere between £50-£75m is a fair price taking everything into account.

This is probably what will happen. Tottenham will ask for a sizable fee for him even with only a year left in his contract, and probably no one will pay that.
 
A younger Kane would really be the perfect fit for this side. We can do the Kane / Son thing with Kane / Rashford. This is partly why I don't want Osimhen.

But if all of Pep, Klopp, EtH agree that the current football meta is to have a goalscoring #9 then who are we to disagree?

Why not? Bayern has Eric Maxim Choupo-Moting as stop gap for this season and next. Strengthen other area first.

Choupo is not great but A LOT better than Weghorst

what i am saying is IF money is an issue, get players for other area first and sign Kane on a free later. Man Utd probably needs another CM, LB, and GK this summer, may be even a RB.

Kane / Son have never won anything, not even a league cup.

We're not spurs so :)

Martial / Rashford was pretty successful and Kane is like thrice the player Martial is.

Succesful how? That partnership hasn't won anything but an FA Cup under LvG if I'm not mistaken.

Why is winning championships the only criteria for success? They had a really good link up between the two of them for a fair bit under Ole too if memory serves. Two players linking up well or not linking up well != trophies.

I rather not the Tottenham Syndrome where we celebrate years of "good football" with nothing to show for. But yeah, both linkups you mention were really good in all honesty.

Also, this Kane is really not thrice the player that Martial was. But Martial is pretty much useless now.
