Harry Kane MBE | Performances

Waiting for the day Lukaku will score a hat trick in a red shirt. Harry Kane is so effective and I was told he had no pace......yet, he happens to know where to place the ball when the chances come his way.
 
He can talk the "staying at Spurs" line as much as he wants. If they're not getting Champions League football next year, or the year after, no amount of love for the club is going to make him stay there.
 
No player other than Ronaldo or Messi has scored 55 goals in a calendar year this century. He’s at 53 with one game to play

What's there even to believe? There is really no argument for him not being world class. He is, it's simple.

PL isn't, or hasn't been a good metric for a long time, the league doing big things in Europe will change that. Irrespective; he looks the same player out of the league that he does in it, which is huge.

Today he's looked like an elite forward, not just a striker, too.

He's playing - not just scoring - in a way one would expect of the elite.
 
Harry Kane is the best current striker in world football.
 
If you don’t have Kane as one of the best five strikers in the world you’re a genuine idiot who doesn’t understand football. No other way of saying it.
 
The perfect modern day striker. Put him in Uniteds team and it take us up 2 levels. Want.

Between him, lewandowski and cavani. Personally think Kane's doing it against better competition week in week out but the other two do it better on the European stage.

Kane has scored 8 goals in the 8 Champions League games he's played in his career. Needs to be at a better team to show he can do it in the semi-finals/final.
 
I think he is as perfect a fit for United as Shearer was before joining Newcastle.

Joining his boyhood club scuppered the move last time and us signing Lukaku may do the same
 
Should’ve used the Lukaku money as a down payment for Kane. Like Shearer though, it won’t happen.

Would happily sign him for £90-100mil plus lukaku. Think that's his worth too.
 
Well, he genuinely doesn't look like he'd be out of place leading the line for the best teams in the world, now. And his name isn't a laughable inclusion in discussions about best strikers in the game.

He's earned it the proper way: via consistency and constant improvement.

I was one of those saying let's wait and see, and I definitely think he's proving himself to be what was prematurely claimed for him before he had the games under his belt.

Na that would be overvaluing him in my opinion. Lukaku is a good striker just not up to Kane's level.

I would say Lukaku + 40-50 million would be fairer
 
I don't think we'll have any chance of signing him next summer, but it'll be interesting to see how this one plays out once he's having to settle with Europa League football.

He's putting up better numbers than the other 2. When they slow down/retire he'll be at the very least in contention for balon d'ors, if he moved to the right club. I don't see that of lukaku unfortunately. Think united overvalued him if anything a smidge.

Nope levy is notoriously difficult to work with for transfers.

Still value wise he is worth maybe 110-120 million if we are being realistic.

Bearing in mind Pogba was world record a year ago for less than that fee

Doesn't matter - goals are priceless and Kane is simply a goal machine. And what's more he contributes a hell of a lot more than just goals.
 
If Neymar was over 200m so is Kane. He's the best striker in the world.

Yeah which is why I suspect no one will seriously go for Kane next summer.

If he has a good World Cup, Spurs won't be able to keep him. If he has a good World Cup on top of a continued run of performances in the CL, Spurs definitely won't be able to keep him.

Going rate for elite players in wages, is in the region of £300k-£600k. Spurs aren't even offering £200k. He'll be giving up 10's of millions to stay under those conditions, especially when image and sponsorship at a high-brand club is factored in.

He says he's loyal to Spurs - that's going to be tested to the hilt if he keeps performing as he has been, more so if he does it across the two elite competitions outside of the league.

Spurs will get a world record fee, though. Levy is infamous, and Kane's a player who he genuinely wants to keep. The money on the table will have to be exorbitant to get him, but there are 5 clubs that can meet that and 3 that can do so with ease.

He's under contract until summer 2022 - so he's already made his choice and signed away his options for the foreseeable future. The chances of Spurs selling Kane this summer, just before we move into our new stadium, are zero.

Moreover, Kane has his sights on Shearer's record in the Prem - so he won't move abroad, and Levy won't sell to a domestic rival. It's pure wishful thinking to imagine otherwise.

It doesn't matter how much you bury your head in the sand regarding this. You either pay him what he's worth, or he's going to be tapped up to the eyeballs until he eventually leaves.

He's rising to a level of prominence where the biggest clubs on the planet will be in his ear and constantly unsettling him - that hasn't been the case up until now, but the CL, as well as a good WC, raises profiles more than anything else can, his league form just makes it more bona fide that he can do it in such a setting as well as in the bigger ones.

At the very least, you have to qualify for the CL this campaign, if you fail to do that on top of paying him way below his worth, there's going to be big trouble on the horizon, unless, of course, you have the most loyal player to have ever played football who is prepared to lose out on 10's of millions because he loves Spurs that much.

Difference between you and clubs where elite players stayed 'loyal' is that they were paid accordingly. If they were undercut, I seriously doubt they would be known as one-club men.
 
Kane’s an example of why I’d rather send Rashford out on loan to play regularly as a centre forward than keep him grafting on the wing - he was able to learn the role out of the spotlight before establishing himself at Spurs.

As for Kane, he’s the real deal and would be worth a £200m+ investment - in pure footballing terms, he’s just as (if not more than) effective as Neymar.

Send Lukaku/and Martial the other way to help pursuade Levy if needs be - A spine of De Gea-Bailly-Pogba-Kane would be genuinely world class and the kind upon which a dynasty could be built.
 
We need to break the bank for this guy. Whatever Levy wants, give it to him. Sign this guy Tito Flo. Best striker in the world and it's not even close. Other than De Bruyne, Mbappé and Neymar, who are clearly unattainable, he's the best player on the market. Top 5 player in the world right now
 
Wonderful play for the third goal. Slide tackle to win the ball, then a great touch and finish. Best shooter in the league, with either foot, comfortably.

Look, I'm not saying that Kane will necessarily be at Spurs until he retires, although he might be.

I'm saying that he won't be sold this coming summer, regardless of how outstanding his performances might be for the rest of the season and at the World Cup. This is because his continued presence at Spurs is crucial - iconic - in the run-up to our new stadium - and during our first season in that stadium ... crucial for a whole variety of commercial/sponsorship reasons to do with Spurs and the new stadium. Levy knows this and thus he simply won't sell.

Real Madrid (or whoever) can offer £200m if they like, but it won't budge Levy.
 
As I've said for about 3 years now, he's a proper Man United player. Throw the fecking kitchen sink for him!
 
Nobody will pay the fee that it'll require to prise him from their grasp and he's not going to kick up a fuss either.

Yeah, fecking great play, it's to the point now which club in world football wouldnt want Kane? He's scored something like 50% of Spurs goals in the CL this campaign and 45% of them in the league. Again in the mix for the golden boot, tied with Salah at the top of the pile. If he wins it again who was the last player to win it three years running? Henry, Van Nistelrooy?

A striker that will guarantee you 20+ goals a season at what 24? Great striking with either foot, solid in the air, model professional, works hard for the team. Worth that 150mil or whatever crazy sum he is going to go for when(if) he leaves Spurs.
