90m-100m was my prediction of how much Levy will let him go to PL clubs. Not very surprised 100m price was mentioned. I don't think it's a bad idea to add 30 years old striker to our squad if we balance our transfer window with young players like Lavia, young CM, and young CB. The main issue is actually the price tag.
Harry Kane | Bayern Munich player

- Start date
Kane wont cost 100m even if its the max levy wants. if kane pushes for a move against spurs that should reduce 15m, then last year contract reduces 15m too. 60~80m will be his full price.
Would rather go for Osimhen at 100M than Kane tbh.
Osimhen won’t cost 100 mil tbh.
His minimum is 150 mil.
I remember Koulibaly at his peak was quoted at 200mil.
This. Don't mind Kane for 60M or thereabout, but 100M for Kane is stupid and lazy.
Osimhen will be like 120m+.
Napoli will try to squeeze as much money as possible for him.
Easier to replace if we've won trophies tbh.
If we end up with Kane we would need someone like Sesko or Ferguson signed up soon after to take over in 3 - 4 years time.
3-4 years is a cycle in football. A perfectly reasonable period to plan for.
Also 5 years younger and in better form. 120 will appear very reasonable when we win major trophies.
Both.
We will need two quality options in each position. We want to be competing in four competitions, which is around 70 games in a full season. The number of players allowed to sit on the bench, as well as the number of substitutes allowed per match are both rising gradually. Even with two strikers, I would still expect wingers like Rashford to get some minutes up front if we are chasing a game and switch formation to two strikers.
City have Haaland and Alverez, Arsenal have Jesus and Nketiah, and we have Martial and Weghorst. That, along with the lack of cover for Eriksen and Casemiro, are the reasons we are not in the title race.
Not disagreeing with you. A 1-2 punch of either Kane/Osimhen and Sesko/Ferguson would be dreamland.
Would we actually still go for a Sesko/Ferguson in January/summer 2024 if we get a Kane/Oshimen in the summer
More worried about Osimhen going elsewhere than Kane without any doubt whatsoever
We can’t afford it as we need two midfielders, GK and a RB too. We’ll have to defer or go for cheap punts for some of these.
I get the feeling that he’ll end up at Chelsea.
Yeah that's my fear too
In midfield, we have Casemiro and Eriksen as starters, so unless we can upgrade, we are looking for cover, and we should get freebies like Rabiot and Tielemans. I can't think of many upgrades to those two, maybe only FDJ, Pedri or Camavinga, so I would rather make sure we have two world class strikers.
No one is paying 100m for Kane with a year left on a contract hes surely not signing. 70m Id say hed go for.
Kane can be signed for around £50/60 million if we wait until deadline day.
Osimhen will be a lot cheaper next summer too as he will be down to the last 12 months on his deal.
For £140 million you could get Kane this summer, followed by Osimhen next summer that would be the smart way to go.

Totally agree, always the way.
Why would we sign both? We're not going to play 4-4-2. Nor will either be happy being on the bench.
If we don't sign Osimhen, he'll probably go to Chelsea. I doubt he'll wait another year to sit on our bench. Likewise for Kane (though he'll probably go Bayern or just sign a new contract at Spurs).
Yeah you are spot on,absolutely convinced Chelsea will put the money up this summer if that's what it takes to get it done
I guess it depends who takes over the club and the investment give. I hope so though.
I don't disagree but there are some whom think the Kane deal would feel very big-name stop-gap/short term and familiar with several others that have tried and failed here. I mean other than RvP and Ibrahimovic how many 30+ YO have come here to lead the line in the last 10-15 year and been successful?
Not that I buy into it. I think Kane would be incredible. Osimhen would also be incredible. But we would still need a good back up (either way we go) and I'm currently riding the Evan Ferguson wave. There's just something poetic about having a playing on the pitch with the same name as our legendary manager and I'm here for it. (Also he's a baller)
Surely that depends who takes over the club and if we can cheat FFP ala Chelsea xD
If he is amazed by sharing a dressing room/pitch with Danny Welbeck, imagine how would he feel motivated to represent this club.
Harry Kane will be a great impact sub for Mbappe
Dodgy Sources but sending Henderson to Spurs as part of the package for Kane?
Yes please.
Knowing Levy, the tight arse would offer us about £3million for Henderson in incentives and instalments while demanding we spend half of Qatar's GDP on Kane. So no I don't see that deal being particularly fruitful for us.
I would prefer Osimhen over Kane of course - but I think Napoli will demand too much money. They have no incentive to sell - Spurs have a lot of incentive to sell if Kane says he will not sign an extension
However £100 mill for Kane is too much money - better to wait until his next summer and sign him for free in that case. But if we can get him for £60 m and Henderson in exchange - it suddenly sounds a lot more tempting. He will score 20 league goals - guaranteed.

This would swing it for me. I genuinely would prefer another striker, but I certainly couldn't sniff at that.

Some of Kane’s CF play last night was exactly what we are missing.
That’s what I don’t understand. Why would anyone pay 100m (or even 60m) for him with just a year left on his contract? Just get a promising alternative and then sign him for free the following year to have two decent CFs like all top teams do. I’d rather us be smart than desperate as if every transfer / summer is do or die.
I suspect he will sign a new contract once Conte is replaced
Doesn’t have to, just be someone he likes who pushes them forward.Why? The new manager going to win them the league
not all players want to leave
Except he does want to leave - that’s fairly obvious. The only way he might decide to stay is if that manager comes accompanied by a £billion war chest.
