Really don't want us to sign him because we have so many other areas to address. But if City (when?) get him, it's game over for the PL for 2-3 years.
Harry Kane | "I will be staying at Tottenham this summer and will be 100% focused on helping the team achieve success."
- Thread starter Samid
- Start date
exactly. Same as with Sanchez and Maguire.
As good as he is I’d rather City blow their load on Kane this summer while we concentrate on getting Sancho with an eye on signing Haaland the following year to replace Cavani. All sounds to good to be true though so probably won’t happen.
Sadly I see him at city. They’ve let Aguero go and we’ve resigned Cavani.
He’s the missing piece of the jigsaw there. Go straight in as Aguero’s replacement, have chances put on a plate each game, score 40 a season, earn a fecktonne of cash and win multiple titles.
All of those things are possible at United but not as likely.
Kane will be 31/32 in 4 years. How is that retirement age?
Cavani is 34.
It's not normally; the average age of retirement is 35, but he will be certainly winding down his career and with his injury record it wouldn't particularly surprise me.
Comparing Cavani isn't really fair. The most games in a row Cavani has missed from injury is 8 at PSG. Kane has beat this run of 8 games injured on 6 seperate occasions.
Yeah it does feel that way but like you say we have other areas to address
If he ends up leaving, what do people think they'll get for him - he'll obviously need to either force his way out or have struck some gentleman's agreement which seems unlikely.
I'd guess a 100m.

City is my guess.... though I wouldn’t rule out Chelsea 
Is this a Spur of the moment decision by Harry?
I know
I know
He wants to win major titles. United are no better placed than his current team. If city are willing to pay the fee then its a done deal.
Personally I cant envisage him in a United shirt and TBH the fee he would command will be a major barrier

They broke the Woodward stuff to be fair. Not saying it's true but, you never know.
Going to City. Sancho to United.
Yeah that looks like it will be the case
What?
You don't think we're in a better position to win trophies than Spurs?
Especially if Kane joins us.
Honestly dont think this is our saga to be honest. We were always going after Sancho this summer with a bid for Haaland in the future by all accounts. Suddenly bidding for Kane doesnt make sense and im guessing City wanting him more would appeal to him.
The time for us to sign Kane was after his debut season. Don't want him now. Aging and injury prone. Best of luck at City!
120m seems fair. Still got 3 years left, and no need to sell besides a gesture to Kane. They’ll probably ask for 150m but get nowhere close.
Scary to think how many goals he could score in that City side.
Well they clearly are. We’re clear favourites to win one this season. We’ve comfortably finished above them in the league two seasons running and that’s without Kane. With him we’d be considerably better placed to win trophies.
Definitely should move to City if he wants to win trophies. They win one a season no problem. And I hope Levy absolutely robs them for him.
Kane to City, Sancho to Utd, Håland to Chelsea?
Did you not want us to sign RVP as well back in 2012?
Its a gutsy move paying a 100 plus for a 28 year old with dodgy ankles. I'm not sure I would have the cojones to pull the trigger on that one.
He will sign for City. It’s a obvious move. We wouldn’t of resigned Cavani if Kane was available and wanted to come here.
I actually don't think City will move for him.
We would if we knew martial was off...
In fairness he had one year left on his contract and was available for 22m. It was an all or nothing go at the league for Fergie’s last season. Van Persie declined pretty sharply after the first 12 months but did exactly what he was bought for.
No, and that's quite an assumption to make.
He didnt last beyond 18 months so not a great example
I'd pay 100m and send Martial to spurs, Kane guarantees 30 goals a season, use Lingard for Sancho then start selling everyone we don't want.
Yeah the situations in terms of fee/contract aren't the same, but RVP was aging and injury prone too.
Does Martial really affect Kane? Martial is more likely to be benched by Greenwood.
City all over it. His age vs price wouldnt bother me as his game isnt based on being a speed merchant but he is perfect fit at city and money is no object there, covid or not
It is going to depend on what he wants. Going to City basically guarantees him a trophy which is clearly what he wants and kind of needs at this stage in his career. United and Chelsea don't offer him that same 'guarantee' but a bloody good chance of it too and if he does it at either of those it might feel a little bit sweeter.
Not if greenwood plays on the right as he currently does. If we sold martial and Cavani left we’d obviously need two strikers.
I can see why you would be all for signing RVP but not Kane though.
Van Persie was the last piece of the jigsaw for us. We lost the league on goal difference the season before, so went and bought the leagues best striker. This summer we’re more in need of a centre back, a defensive midfielder and a winger before we even look in Kane’s direction. To blow all our cash on him would make no sense to me.
