Harry Kane | "I will be staying at Tottenham this summer and will be 100% focused on helping the team achieve success."

Now you're just being absurd. If you've nothing better to contribute than twisting arguments into strawmen, then don't bother.
Kane is a very good player, a great one even. But his injuries and age are not that great, besides his price would be over 100M.

Well you're the one saying Haaland is better because he has more CL goals.

Just pointing out the levels of hypocrisy
 
Kane to United. Lukaku to Chelsea. Makes most sense to me.

I think Kane would be shocked at the abuse and concentrated media campaign he would be subjected to if he went to Chelsea. It won’t sit well with a lot of people.
 
Was obvious from the start. Only one English team guarantees trophies.
 
As Spurs supporter I just don’t see it happening this summer. I think this is one of those where the groundwork is getting set up for something next year because the deal is so big.

I don’t really see Kane kicking up a fuss as he’s a supporter of the club and I don’t see Levy selling to any rivals (the Chelsea links are genuinely laughable) I also don’t see Levy selling for a penny less than 120 million which I think is a price point that’s going to mean the deal can’t really get done this year. There’s not really enough pressure on the club to sell really with Kane still having several years left on his contract and the fact that he won’t be kicking up a fuss.

It sucks as a Spurs supporter but ultimately I understand it. I’ll just have to enjoy the time with him that we’ve got left.
 
replying to a journo called alasdair gold




So, let me get this straight, this Spurs fan is legit requesting to loan out their club talisman, Harry Kane, to the current champions of the league they are trying to win?

I just, I mean... Wut?

I'm just spitballing here, but how likely is it that this Alasdair Gold guy is a just bitter Arsenal fan on a massive Wum?

If City do plan on talking to Spurs, it's because they are willing to pay big. My guess is they will use players to get the cash payments to around £100m.

Well, apparently they are planning to hold talks.

It's not unthinkable that we could raise 120 m, with 85m reportedly being made available from the owners, plus expected sales. But then there wouldn't be a lot of other signings getting done.
 
Tottenham won't be declining a £100m+ bid for Kane. If buying clubs (with much bigger pockets than Spurs) are hesitant spending such a huge amount on Kane, then Spurs will be equally wary of rejecting 9 digit bids for their soon to be 28 year old striker. Are 2 or 3 more years of Harry Kane worth rejecting such huge offers for, keeping in mind that they can buy 2 or 3 £40m players to reinvigorate the squad?

This rarely happens. It's more likely that the sale of Kane will have them permanently in the Europa League.

It's not like Kane is a pace merchant, he could go on longer, though given his injury record you're probably correct.
 
Only way I could see United being players here is if a deal could include Martial and Lingard. Getting those two plus £45-50m to spend on two defenders wouldn't be the worst outcome for them
 
There’s a real boom bust thing going on here with Lingard. He plays like a drain for two years and then after a very good half season loan people are thinking ‘Jesse is our wildcard to allow us to buy Spurs’ captain and best player’.
 
Regret not bringing players like Zlatan and Cavani when they were younger, we still have a chance to bring Kane in while he's in his prime - these opportunities don't come often. I hope we sign him.

Yep. People forget that was really got spurs back on track after losing Bale was Kane turning into a WC striker

It's very, very hard for clubs of that level to replace such a transformative player. Spurs have every reason to want to hold onto him as far as they can
 


28 ex Spurs players have gone on to win 87 trophies since Spurs last lifted one :lol:

What is even funnier is a lot of these players I sometimes forgot they even played for Spurs. When you compare their achievement after they left Spurs, it shows how irrelevant and insignificant Spurs was probably to them during their tenure there. Not sure why any top players would even want to waste their peak years at Spurs. Kane should have left 3 years ago and I hope Son follows suit. Would be a shame if Asia's best player waste his best years at Spurs.
 
Absolutely, and Pogba isn't that player from deeper, because defensively he isn't good enough. So you either buy for the role in question or promote from within, with a view to developing the player for the role.

Agree with that, Pogba for whatever reason can't play this role for us. He's best as a playmaker further forward, he usually always spends a second or two more than I'd like on the ball.
 
Duncan Castles on Transfer Window podcast yesterday said Utd have already had contract talks with his representatives to get an idea of the package he would want circa 300k a week. We are the club most advanced in talks with his representatives though that doesnt mean much at moment.

A few weeks back it was mentioned on that show that the glazers were ready to signoff on a marquee signing this summer as an attempt to quell the fan discontent and that Kane was top of the wanted list.

I can see levy dragging this out all summer. £80-90mil sounds right to me in this environment. Whoever gets him is getting a helluva goal machine. Really hope its us and not city. Though you cant rule Chelsea out.
 


Looks quite like a player on his way out...

Fitting scoreline to hammer home the reasons why :lol:
 
If that wasn't the classic "I'm leaving, thanks for these years-walking around applauding the fans". Then I don't know what counts as that...
 
If he joins any English club it will be City. In that case I wish Levy blackmailed him into staying.

Not related to your post this, but Castles is full of shite. Him and that McGarry will fondly be remembered by me for reporting that Werner's agent had told us to forget about bidding, he is going to Liverpool or signing a new Leipzig contract, and literally a day later we'd agreed to sign him, and they then backtracked massively on the following podcast, it was fecking cringe hahaha

Castles also said Gabriel was joining us, and it was a done deal, hes playing for Arsenal now. Full of shit

His podcast is a decent listen if you have no life but everything should be taken with pinch of salt. They don't have credit themselves for fecking everything though
