Icardi has a better shot conversion rate, but the Premier League is a tougher league than Serie A. It's difficult to compare across competitions.

Long-term or otherwise the debt still needs to be repaid in full. Spurs, in light of the new stadium cost hike, will surely be looking for ways in which to supplement their income. Selling a footballer whom would command a near mind boggling fee is most certainly one of the those ways. I'm confident that any bid reaching £200 million, or possibly even exceeding that figure, will come under immense consideration.
Fair enough - it's all about opinions. But Spurs aren't poverty-stricken: the new stadium is fully funded and we are about to enter the global top 10 income- wise, so waving a huge sum at Levy is not such an irresistible lure.
Moreover the potential sponsorship deals at stake are huge - maybe £400m for stadium naming rights alone. In that context - and in the context of keeping the world's best striker - £200m is not a sum to persuade Levy this summer ... in my opinion of course.
On the Café, they say there isn't much difference between Kane and Lukaku so should be a straight swap.
Oh really, how so? Neymar has 12 assists along with his 17 goals. There are things Neymar can do that would make Kane fall over on his feet. Make no mistake, Kane is a phenomenal GOALSCORER, but Neymar has that Romario flair and is just a better footballer
No amount of money would make Levy consider selling at this moment in time. Kane is settled at Spurs, his "boyhood" club, and for him, it's paradise. Why leave now? I think if Spurs hadn't been constructing a stadium, it might be different, but I'm sure he'd love nothing more to captain the side at the new ground and break a few records there.
Next summer I can see Spurs letting go of Rose and Alli. 2019 is where it gets interesting. No Champions League, would Pochettino be sacked? Kane get itchy feet? Levy prepared to accept a WR bid?
£400 million for the naming rights? That is surely a typo.
Rubbish...
Drinkwater has won the Premier League, but that doesn't make him better than Gerrard, Tissier etc..
Haven't people said that it's just a shit stat? Cristiano Ronaldo's shot conversion rate isn't really something to write home about...
To be fair, Cristiano Ronaldo has won his 4 latest Ballon d'Or and is recognized as the best footballer in planet alongside with Messi despite being nothing but a excellent poacher since years ago.

The better footballer argument is stupid as it gets. Both of them do what they are suppose to do. If Neymar scores 0 goals and hes team looses its pretty pointles how cool flair he got.
And if we are talking stupid here, you say Neymar can do things Kane cant do, its pretty obivious. So is it that Kane can do things that would litteraly make Neymar fall over. What about: corners? Free kicks in general? Kanes left foot? Kane is much stronger? Hes movement is out of the world? Finishing? Deciscions?
Both are great, but Kane is more than just a GOALSCORER. He is probably the worlds most expensive nr9. And the best IMO to..
There are many reports citing that as the target. Whether the reports are accurate, or even if they are, whether that target will be reached is open to debate.
But Levy is a canny operator - and given that NFL games will also feature - I wouldn't be at all surprised if he gets what he's reportedly after.
Plus the 400ml is for really long term deal as well isn't it (20 years?)
Far superior to our front line. Not one of ours would get in their side
Yes.
That is quite some deal if Levy manages to pull it off.
Presumably the payments would be made on an annual basis rather than one lump sum. So that's around £30millon year give or take. How much of a dent would that make on the loan repayments, though?
I don't see Kane scoring this amount of goals with JM as the maanger.
If you have seen Spurs play you would know Kane has a lot of movements around him. He is not the only one attacking the space, everyone of their attackers are, I am sure Lukaku would be succesful.
I say we should target MP!

Referring to a possible offer from Madrid:
I have doubts that Kane wants to come to play in Spain, but Levy refusing 200m€...maybe in front of the press.
Even for the player it would not be easy to simply accept the idea of the club, he would be in a scenario with a lot of pressure during several weeks. A team that offers Champions, play with elite players every week, with the background of others like Bale or Modric, who left and now have 3C.L.
I have no idea what he earns but even being very loyal and discarding better offers you have to offer him a serious project.
Clubs do not come looking for you offering that money every day. The premiere of a new stadium is exciting but it is simply an added bonus for the professional.
That refusal to sell this summer is also extendable to Dele Alli?
Time will tell. He has the ability to be something special though. Two years ago, people were calling Kane a one-hit wonder. Now, he's the next Greavsie. Time will tell, sonny. Time will tell.
Class striker; twice the player Lukaku is I'm sad to say. Although he'd probably cost twice as much too.
The world's first £200m+ player if they sell him in the next year or two. Worth it too.
Sensational player.
If Rashford will score 15 a season with us il be suprised. I think he will end up another place in the end, but if he somehow gets Kane number in out seasons ill be over the moon, and ill admit i didnt belive so.
And a couple people on the Cafe argued that Kane had less to his game than Lukaku 
The transfer fee bar was set by Neymar at around £196Mil and that was only due to a release clause, which will look like a steal considering he is next in line to carry the torch after Messi and CR something that is going to be priceless. For anyone to even get Levy's interest they would need to offer £250Mil+ for Kane as he is probably 2nd or 3rd in line after Neymar when it comes to producing numbers for the foreseeable future bar injuries, but that applies to every player.
For all the "worried" people about him not getting trophies and his need to go to a big club, there simply aren't any that can afford him or could interest him enough to consider them. Bayern and Juventus simply can't even remotely come close to afford him, because they operate completely differently to other top clubs. Man City is a league rival forcing the price even further up, making it even less likely to happen. Real Madrid and Barcelona look like teams that have a mass appeal that all other teams lack, but they too would struggle to pay his fee, and then we are left with PSG who can afford him, but are in a league I simply can't see Kane drop down to only to get a shot at the CL once a year. The lack of competitiveness simply isn't there to keep him motivated.
He is in a team right now that is as close as you can get to being competitive for trophies as anywhere else bar Bayern, PSG, and to a extend Juventus that cake walk their leagues. He is right now in a perfect environment to thrive and compete in and Spurs and him are on the same trajectory and goals.

He's going to reach 100 top-flight goals quicker than Greavsie did.

Kane has less of a bad touch.
That he does
Apart from us; I really hope he doesn't go to Barcelona or Madrid. I'd love to see him at Bayern though; I think he would be phenomenal.
Do you really think Levy would turn down, say, £120M offer for Kane? I'm not sure about that.
I am absolutely 100% categorically sure that Levy would turn down a 120m offer for Kane.
Jesus christ, in this ridiculous market, that would barely get us a couple of players.
He was just the highest scorer in Europe for the last year. Top scorer in the league this season, despite injury and being off form. Top scorer for the past 2 seasons. Our talisman and a Spurs fan.
What the hell would we do with 120 million? And in this current market, how is that good value for money for us?
Agreed. If van der Dijk is worth 75 mill then Kane is worth a lot lot more than 120
Yeah people are in denial if they think Levy would do anything but laugh off £120m for Kane.
I think that if a club wants to try and buy him this summer, the Neymar transfer will be the benchmark for Levy. Especially given that Kane is very unlikely to kick up a fuss.
Can you explain why you would think that, actually curious.
Agreed. He won't go for anything less than 180 I reckon.
Indeed.
Think about it.
24 years old.
English.
Pretty much guaranteed 30+ league goals a season.
A complete striker.
Currently owned by the club owned by Levy.
I don't think Kane is going anywhere for the next couple of seasons but if he does, Neymar is going to be the benchmark as you said. That's the reality.
Not to mention that Kane, as Bale was previously (and unlike for example Modric) has value beyond just his value on the field itself.

Not much thinking behind it to be honest, but if Real came knocking with a mammoth offer and Kane showed desire to leave, I could see Spurs selling him for something closer to 120M than 250M. Then again, he's a phenomenal player and so far he's not really acting like he wants to leave, I can actually see him staying with you for a while.
£120M for Kane in today's market would be an absolute steal. Didn't Perez himself say it would take a record fee?
I don't think that he will join Bayern.
Lewandowski is a better striker and they got him for free.
They get the best players for free or pay very little like for Rodriguez or Kimmich.
Kane would fit our Man Utd team. He has the skills that we need, but he has a contract until 2022.
I don't think that he would leave for under 200 Million and I am not even sure if he wants to leave.
He looks like a down to earth guy.
Kane said:
"Football for me isn't about money. I'm at Tottenham because I love this club and I see it going in the right direction.
I feel we are one of the best teams in England and Europe, so I’m excited for the future ahead. Everyone knows I’m a Spurs fan and that’s where I want to be for the foreseeable future. I have a great relationship with the manager and the fans."

Nah, so long as he's got a reasonable amount of time left on his contract and isn't kicking up a significant fuss to the point where it's clearly affecting his performances, he's not going for anything below £150m. If a centre-back who's not even really the best in the league in his position is fetching £75m then Kane's going for double that at the very least - especially when he's playing for a club who are notorious for holding out for high prices on key players.
It'll be interesting to see how Kane views the whole thing though. He does seem to have a genuine affection for Spurs, and their recent title challenges have meant they can sort of convince him they're a club at which he can win trophies while garnering fan affection. But if they slip into being a typical 5th/6th placed team occasionally making the CL he may be convinced otherwise. Although again...by rights Shearer should've ended up at a bigger club than Newcastle but stuck it out because he clearly loved the place. So Kane might do the same.
