He'll join... when he's 35.
Harry Kane | "I will be staying at Tottenham this summer and will be 100% focused on helping the team achieve success."

good man. If City have proven anything in the last few years, even with all the cash that they have, they plan for the future. There is no future in signing Messi, and if they win the CL this year, what is the justification to the owners for his massive wage demands? They won't do it, if he signs for an Arab oil rich club it will be one thats located in Qatar or UAE, like Xavi did. My bet, if Messi was going to leave Barca the contracts with a new club would already be signed and the news would have been announced months ago. He will sign a reduced wage contract for Barca and end his career there.
Just a gut feeling that him and guardiola want one more season together. With Europe's big clubs flailing it's another free run at CL
Could Spurs get Sterling in the deal? If City win CL, he’d have won everything and I reckon he wouldn’t mind living in London playing every week as the main man.
He will either go to City, or be priced out and stay at Spurs
He's never happy anywhere.
Shame its not a level playing field cause if it was I think'd choose Utd over City every time. Saying that I think he'd plug half the gap between the two sides himself.
So if we had extra cash we would have splashed it on Kane ? You know this sentence goes against your point right ?
And when we extended Cavani's contract we didn't know Kane will ask to leave few weeks later.
I replied on that. It's ridiculous that people though one of the best strikers of the last decade was coming here just to sit on the bench for Martial and be content with a bench position. Cavani was coming here to be a main player. Again just because you're assuming things in your head doesn't make them a fact. That was just your interpretation of the deal back then and your interpretation has a big possibility of being wrong, you know.
If you think that a manager will have a world class player available in front of him and just throw the chance away because he said he would only sign young players, you really have a problem.
You're the one who needs to understand your transfer policy has to be flexible and not restricted to one group of players and there's no manager in the world who only signs one certain category and ignores any great options in other categories. This is ridiculously rigid. There's no club who only signs young hungry players.
There're players that your "policy" whatever it's goes out of the window when they're available to be purchased. Pretty much all managers will think like that. Hell, Fergie didn't think twice when RVP was available to be purchased regardless of all his injuries problems and Fergie was well known for developing and signing youngsters.
There's no doubt in my mind if we know about Kane's situation earlier we wouldn't have jumped the gun on Cavani's extension and would have waited to see what's our position in it. At the moment we wouldn't probably move for him not because of his age, but because we already extended Cavani's contract and both will want the main position.
No chance we get him. We are behind City as his choice. If the price is something we are willing to pay then it will be a reasonable one and City can also pay it too
the same for Maguire and Sanchez then…
I’m not saying we will buy him, but to say we have no chance is just ridiculous.
I can't see him at City. Blue doesn't look good on him. Would be such a shame to see him turn into midfielder too.
What a signing for us he would be though...
But yeah, with Cavani staying I don't see we're after him unless he costs 15m.

Because city didn't want them that badly? Just because city is interested in a player does not mean they would do whatever it takes to get them all the time.
But, with a player like Kane, they might put the actual effort. Unless they want to wait for the other guy next year.
Ok then. Let’s just leave it.
Or the player didnt choose to join them?
Utd are 10x the size of City
ultimately we never know the full ins and outs of any transfer.
My point is very simple, of course we have a chance of buying him. There’s obviously lots of variables, many of which we won’t see.
I have my doubts that City would want Kane at this stage in his career. Harry is the kind of striker, a step slower now than he was a season or two ago, who has to be the focus of the attack. That's just not how Pep sets his side up.
You'll be seeing it one way or another this summer, the new England away kit is blue.
Our priority should be CDM and RW
Harry Kane though is WC
If he's available, we should be in the mix to get him
But Spurs/Levy are very difficult to buy from
This is very interesting and I can't tell how it'll end, but Kane's made it infinitely more difficult for himself by signing a ridiculous contract with Spurs

BBC Sport has been told conversations with the club resulted in a plea for him to 'become a Francesco Totti' - the Italian World Cup winner who rebuffed numerous transfer offers to spend his career at Roma.

Of course they can afford to pay it but then again, have City ever spent over £150M-£200M on just the one player? I can’t ever recall them spending a gigantic amount of money on just the one player. They tend to spread the cost of there transfer budget on 3-4 acquisitions rather than just one player that will take a massively significant amount of their budget.
I dont think thats true, its just that people make excuses for when players do / wants to join us so it looks that way.
Sign Maguire? City didnt want to bid.
Sancho wants Utd? Its because they have a clear run at him, the big boys will come in for him next year. It goes on and on.
Spurs need the money. Expensive stadium, covid, mediocre team, cheese room and all that. I can see them selling a little more easily this time than in the past.
Question remains who will pay up.

Hahaha OK whatever dude.
150m or whatever that gets touted is just too much. Get 2-3 better value players for that money. He's a great striker but I just dont fancy us to spend stupid money on a player when we have about 4 areas that need work.

He won a Serie A too right ?
He'll need to strike to get a move.
Benzema replacement at Real
Clown.
Alas, you make some good points, but will be proved wrong come the summer.
It's quite amusing you complain about people knowing stuff about the club then claim to know that the club wouldn't have jumped the gun on Cavanis extension!! Contradictions galore.
Everyone knew that Kane would want to go if Spurs didn't get a trophy or top four, not exactly rocket science that!!
We won't move for him because a) we don't have space for him, b) he doesn't fit the profile of our transfers and c) we don't have the cash.
Simple to understand really.
There is absolutely no chance of that. Kane is a much better all round player than Halaand will ever be.
The thing with city is they don't do this level of spending on a player. I can't see it really, Chelsea though...
Utd are so much bigger than City, thats not in denial
But if he wants to leave Spurs for trophies and stay in England.... out of City and Utd there is one winner.
I dont think we'd get him, most definitely not, but i dont think Levy would refuse to do business with us. £150m for example; is the same whomever it comes from.
The Modric saga at the time was reported as not happening due to how insulting our initial bid was, it wasnt because it was Chelsea. That was peddled later down the line. If we'd gone in with 40 immediately, i think wed have had him

City's biggest transfer fee is what, £65m? Chelsea's is £71m.
I posted above i dont think we'd get him. But I do think Levy would take our money, as he would anyones. Hes a businessman
Point taken, I thought Chelsea's was higher. I still think they'd be more likely, one things for certain, the money involved will be ridiculous.
I don't give a shit about being proven right or wrong.
I didn't say my opinion on Cavani's extension is what club is actually thinking. It's just that my interpretation of the situation that I don't doubt we wouldn't have extended Cavani that early if we know Kane was going to leave. I don't know if it's right or not, but that's what I believe. Meanwhile you seem to think that you know everything about the club's policy of transfers and what we target and what we don't.
No there was actually a possibility of him staying for at least one more year considering that a new manager is coming.
But you seem to be really believing your theory that our manager won't want to sign one of the world's best strikers because he only wants to sign players less than 26 years old and Kane is 28 so Ok mate, as long as it makes you feel good.
I swear to god theres a tweet on twitter from a Spurs fan suggesting they loan Kane to City for a year so he can win something, then recall him and have him refocus on Spurs. Its a serious suggestion too. fecking mental
Have a cup of tea and calm down.
