Yes. Son is very good and all but Kane is hugely influential and they will be totally and completely fecked without him.
Levy will take the money and put it in his back account.

Eh? When did that happen?
Kane has set a dealine, for the start of the Euro. It starts less than a month away. I would imagine the destination has been set already, and an army of people are working on making sure that very little of 100M ever touches the UK shores.
Kane and KDB in one team would be pretty fecking overkill though. I am not looking forward to watching it if it happened.
Cavani was signed as a backup.Our main striker is 34 years old.
This won't be the reason we won't be in for Kane.We probably won't be in it because we had already extended Cavani's contract so most probably we are saving money for other positions.
Has feck all to do with age.
Just so happens our main striker has been injury prone and poor this season.
Bar loan signings, how many players has Ole signed that have been over 26? I can name one.
if United bought Kane, clearly Martial is gone. Either in part ex, or to don’t one else to help finance the deal. Kane, Cavani, Rashford and Greenwood across 3 positions is reasonably balanced.
I said it back then and I will say it now. There was no way Cavani would have agreed to join us just to be a bench option for Anthony fecking Martial. This was just what people here assumed, and just because they assumed it doesn't mean it was actually true. He was eased into the team due to quarantine issues and then his stupid ban hit. Whenever he was fully fit he was the main starter. If we were so concerned with the age of our players we wouldn't have extended his contract and decided to go into the market this season for a "young hungry striker".
Kane is 28 not 38. He still has solid 3-4 years at the top of the game and his style of play doesn't depend on pace that much. I can see him playing well up till 35 at least.
The age aspect is so fecking overrated here imo. You will assume that after we saw Cavani this year with us we will understand that strikers don't become past it magically past 30. If we don't sign Kane it would have feck all to do with how old is he. It's that because we had already extended Cavani's contract and both will want to be the main position. Won't work.
Mind you if we actually know he was going to leave earlier I bet we would have let Cavani leave.
This thread is insane. People just constantly saying there is no chance we’ll sign him with nothing to back it up.
Id be absolutely shocked if he went to Chelsea. One of spurs biggest rivals, why would they sell to them? Why would he betray the spurs fans when he has a pick of clubs?
City seems the most likely destination I’d say, but whether they’ll pay the silly fee, I don’t know.
We’re clearly in with a shout, if he moves

He's not going to Chelsea FFS
So we signed our main striker on deadline day when we could have signed him at the start of the season. Right you are.
I have never said Kane is over the hill or too old, merely that our transfer policy is to sign younger players with a view to develop them further. Something that Ole has by and large stuck too unless there's been a bargain (Cavani, Ighalo and Telles)
There's big question marks over Kane's injury record, which at his age and with the money it'd take would be a gamble in the long term.
Interesting to note that we are being linked with a 19 year old forward today too...just saying.
City have to be favourites and I don’t think he will cost as much as people think.
100 million I reckon and he goes.

Are we actually the favorites to sign him? If Levy keeps his policy of not selling to Chelsea and City targets Haaland, then that only leaves us domestically at least.
But... Do we want him? He'll cost a fortune and he turns 28 this summer. It also seems like a dick move towards Cavani(if it's true that he stayed because he was guaranteed more playtime).

We lost to them at home and gift them a free 3 points. We could have stopped them.I like that people are basically saying that united are the only reason Liverpool will finish top 4
If we did the impossible and pulled this off, we won’t be signing anyone else. Of course I’d have Kane here, but scoring goals has not been the main problem this season, it’s keeping them out our net. CB, DM and RW for me is far more crucial, and I doubt we’ll sign all 3...
Hope we go for Sancho instead
City bound me thinks and given their trophy success and chance to play under Pep who would blame him. Pretty much Nailed on i would think
No? Not sure where you've gathered that from!
City bound and it makes sense, Haaland suits us a lot more than he does them.
If we sign Kane, we win the league. Simple as that. We must go all out for him and not give City a free ride.
he wants to play in the PL. I can only see three clubs that could even potentially afford him.
out of those 3 Chelsea need him the least, and would clearly be the least favourable option for spurs.
So it’s us or City.
more than enough games for Cavani and Kane, and they can both play together. If an opportunity for a player like Kane comes along, there can be no room for sentiment towards a 34 year old who will only be at the club another year.
bitb of those players should relish the challenge of playing at the same club and in the same team.
Chelsea are a non runner.
I can't see him going to PSG. I cant see Real or Barca being realistic with the money woes.
That leaves Juve or Bayern. Wouldn't rule them out.
Kane for me, wouldn't suit a Klopp side but Mane's stunk the place out this year and Salah's destined for a move either this summer or next.
I can't shake the feeling Kane wants to stay in the prem to break shearer's record. So us or City? He says he wants to win major honours. City only have Jesus as CF for next season and all the money. They are also the most likely team to win the prem each year, whereas we are still building towards a title challenge.
Us with Kane probably would challenge, but city with Kane grow further forward. Does he want a challenge with us or take the more likely route to a title with City? From his point of view - if he wants to win the prem - he chooses city all day long.
I hope to feck i'm wrong

Haaland is arguably the hottest name on the transfer market. He's already world class and only turns 21 this summer. I really doubt City would pick Kane over Haaland... And I honestly doubt Haaland would pick us over City.
Unless City sign both. Haaland as an impact sub would be peak City
Imagine signing Lewandowski in the summer of 2016.
As much as I'd love to see Kane at United, we couldn't possibly justify the outlay on him given that there are more pressing issues within the squad. I don't think the timing is quite right for us on this one so I imagine City pretty much have a free run at him. Can't see him going to Chelsea.
I can imagine the scenario.
Harry Kane broke the English transfer record after signing for ManUnited. The hype was everywhere - pundits, Che Guava twitter account and even shitty fan made articles were talking about how Kane "just fits"United, a proper english ManUnited STAR, "Sir Alex would have signed him", he is the missing piece, handsome, is bilingual, etc.
And then came the first game. We played against a middle table team and somehow managed to maintain 37% ball possession all game. Despite Kane being the new star CF that everyone and their dogs talked about, he didn't get a lot of service in that game and the one time he did, Dan James blocked his shot with his arse because he couldn't stop running in one direction. At the 85th minute the opponent CM ran forward and bypassed our entire midfield, he found a pass to his mate, a simple tap in and it's a goal - Lindelof failed to manmark.
The end.

I don't think he will leave spurs this summer, there are too many things that need to happen for him to move.
1. Levy must be willing to accept a huge price reduction - won't sell for anything under £100m
2. City haven't spent more than £60m on a single player
3. City have a decent model, hardly do they spend a big amount on a 28 yr old
4. Injury history

It's got to be City.
I don't think he fits the profile we want, he wont go to Chelsea, Liverpool cant afford him, and i don't think he will want to go abroad.
He will probably prove me completely wrong but i think he will be a bit of a flop there. I've always thought he suited being a big fish in a small pond and because of that i'm not at all convinced he will leave in the first place.

So do I. This has become the acid test of long term planning v signing the big names just because theyre available.
Good luck Darren Fletcher

Heres the thing, Pep rarely lies about transfers

I can't see City paying what it'll take to get Kane.
What's Levy going to look for? 150m?
As others have said, while they have the money, City don't really do massive deals like this.

Could Abramovich get out the checkbook? Kane would make Chelsea a very strong title contender.
I'd rather, a CDM, CB or a RW before a striker but players like Kane don't become available every window. But dealing with Levy would be a nightmare.
Yes he's going to City if he moves
1) Levy doesn't Deal with Chelsea
2) United don't need a Striker when there's Greenwood , Martial and Cavani

They’re already short in attack and arguably their greatest ever striker is about to leave, if ever they was about to smash their transfer record it would probably be now.
Kane at City would be like cheating, scary to think how many chances they would put on a plate for him. If I we’re them I’d be paying whatever it takes.
This level of player only becomes available once in a ....blue moon (sorry) I think they will go all out.
How long until the reports of ‘United using Lingard plus cash deal for Kane’ start
They can’t start next season with Jesus as their only recognised striker that would be crazy. Yes they can play with a false 9 but still it would be taking a massive risk.
how often does a player like Kane become available?
He’s the best striker in the PL, behind only Lewi in the world I would suggest.
this isint a Falcao, Schweinsteiger or Sanchez situation.
Great. Now City will win the league by Xmas.
