He's the best striker in the world at the moment with Lewandowski, Cavani and Suarez closely behind but there's no way he's worth 200 million.
I agree, £200m is toppy. £160m or so

According to Mundo Deportivo, Tottenham have told Kane that he will be sold. The article says that Levy wants to avoid a situation like Modric(player pressing the club) and wants a direct negotiation with Madrid, asking for 200 million.
The article almost rules out the option of Bale(being included), for his salary and because he supposedly wanted to continue in Madrid to play with Kane.
On the other hand they write that Madrid have not started any serious negotiations(only Odriozola) with Levy or anyone else.
Yes, it seems a random story, although the journalist is not very bad. Bale's part seems reasonable.Riiiiight, so at this important part of our season Levy tells Kane he will be sold for no reason? Most fabricated stories are at least somewhat believable.

Maybe he thought it was reasonable and based the article on that.
I imagine that Kane is aware of the rumors and although we are in the middle of the season he could know the intentions of the club.
Do you think Kane would not ask for a transfer if an offer came?
Agree I think they will get him after world cup, can see Kane having a top world cup, also can see ali going there as well, Real have to get players in, if they want to stay as Europe elite club... Spurs are winning nothing again this season, so if your ambition is to win trophies those two have to leave.Yeah I think he’ll end up Ronaldos replacement as a Madrid main source of goals.
He's ready. He needs to leave Spurs ASAP, or he can decide to stay and become one of the biggest english players ever. He could go big with this Tottnham squad in the new stadium.
I think you could put your house on the fact he will be there for the first season of the new WHL stadium. He could safely give Spurs two more years and still be only 26 when looking for that big move.
If Real Madrid make a bid, we need up it by a million. We simply cannot allow him leave Spurs without doing everything we can to get him.
It's more of the player though. Bale wanted to play for Madrid, not United; regardless of how much we offered to Spurs.It wouldn't matter, Levy will not let him move to another team in England. We bid more for Bale back in the day but Levy accepted less from Real Madrid.
People need to wise up and realise he won't play for us.

If Kane prefers United to Madrid, there's not much Levy can do.
The thing is: why should he. If he indeed intends to leave at some point, staying for two more years makes limited sense.
I disagree. Levy was perfectly happy to sell (Walker) to the team (City) everyone knew was probably going to be their biggest rival for the Premiership this season, at a point in time where Spurs finally had a realistic shot at the title. Levy cares about one thing, and one thing only, and if we put more money on the table than Madrid are willing to do, Levy will allow us to talk to Kane.It wouldn't matter, Levy will not let him move to another team in England.

I used to think like that as well but a player is worth what ever a club is willing to pay for themHe's the best striker in the world at the moment with Lewandowski, Cavani and Suarez closely behind but there's no way he's worth 200 million.
Something of the Rooneys about his physicality. Just a hunch. And I didn't say washed up. I was referring to his use to an undisputed giant of world football like Real Madrid. Then he could go back to Spurs.
If Real Madrid make a bid, we need up it by a million. We simply cannot allow him leave Spurs without doing everything we can to get him.
Are you sure you've seen both Wayne Rooney and Harry Kane? One of the most bizarre comments I've seen of late.
If they're getting £200m for him as it is, Levy isn't going to sell him to a direct rival and leave Spurs having to face him 2+ times every year for the sake of an extra million, is he? Engage your brain.
I know I tried arguing with him, he also said Harry will be done in a couple of years .
That's a bang average build for a 24 year old, while his wife and baby are a physical disgrace.Kane is fitter and more muscular than Rooney at the same age.

Secondly Kane is no doubt the best striker in the world, he was the top scorer of 2017 playing in a team that is overall not as strong as other teams and his overall play is very good in most departments so it's not like he's limited to just scoring he's able to bring other's into play and hold the ball up
He is the complete package and will put up numbers like Ronaldo no problem at all so he's definitely a perfect replacement for Benzema at RM as that will allow Ronaldo to play on the wing giving him more space
So they fix 2 problems if Kane comes in, Benzema doesn't start anymore and Ronaldo moves back to his favoured position where they can get the best out of him again
A 60 goal a year player is going to cost in excess of 100 million add the Daniel Levy tax and you are at around the 200 million mark
£200m would be more than Neymar went for though, that's the price you pay for someone like that, not for Harry Kane who I'm not even sure if he's a top 5 player in the Premier League. Like I said he's a very complete striker and currently the best striker in the world but let's not exaggerate, he's not good enough to be the star player at a club like Real Madrid and that price tag would be bonkers even in today's market. He's been scoring for fun in the past few years but he's been doing it in the weakest Premier League I remember watching and this year that the top 6 got stronger the only big team he's scored against has been Liverpool at home. If he shows he can be a difference maker in the CL against you guys then Madrid might go for it but I doubt it will happen.
I think they'll get Hazard and a striker to compete with Benzema, not outright replace him. Someone like Icardi for example. And they could very well get both Hazard and Icardi for about the £200m Kane would cost.
Champions League next season is critical if Spurs are to keep hold of Kane. Once Madrid come knocking and getting into the players head then I cannot see Spurs holding on to him. Kane should be playing Champions League every season and if Spurs cannot give it him it is only fair he finds it elsewhere.
I hope he stays in the Prem but we see it with player after player when the Spanish teams come knocking just as Ronaldo, Bale, Suarez and Coutinho proved.
Imagine the meltdown on Spurs forums if Levy does flog him.

I have never read so much contradicting garbage in my life.
One of the only seasons where all English clubs have progressed in the CL, yet the PL is weak?
Hes the best striker in the world but not in the top 5 players in the PL? What are u on?
And he has 6 goals in 5 appearances in the CL.
If Benzama can be a star and Madrid I am pretty sure Kane could cope.
I'm not contradicting myself, you just misunderstood me or misread. I didn't say today's Premier League is the weakest I rememeber watching, I was talking about the past few years. Also, it's true the top 5 clubs are doing well in the CL but that doesn't make the league strong, 80% of the clubs in the league are playing terrible football.
Yes, there aren't any particularly great strikers in the world right now and I'd probably put him as the 5th best player in the league behind De Bruyne, Silva, De Gea and Hazard.
Benzema isn't a star. If Madrid pay £200m for Kane they're not expecting him to be a Benzema. A few bad performances in a row like I've seen him have this season and he'd be getting booed off the stadium.
It would be insane to break the transfer record for him and I don't think there's any way it will happen.
How can you possibly, in anyway shape or form, compare a keeper to a striker, or a creative midfielder to a winger? Also tell me what league exactly is stronger, who has the strength the PL has in the top 6-7 clubs? So Harry is scoring more this season than any other, you don't make any sense at all.
Jesus, that really upset you. I compare a keeper to a striker by how good they are in their respective positions. The same way everyone else does.
La Liga is stronger, the league he'd be moving to.
He's scoring more but he's scoring in bunches against mostly crap teams which would be fine if he had shown he's also capable of doing it in the biggest moments but until now he's never played in a Champions League knockout and he was crap at the Euros in 2016. I'm not saying he's not great, like I said he's curently the best striker int he world. I'm talking about paying a world record fee for a player that's very clearly not worth it.
Id didn't annoy me in the slightest TBH, it just made no sense and sorry I don't agree La Liga is anywhere near as strong as the Premiership. Even Pep has said something along these lines last year, his spending has proved this. Its a slanted league with the top 2 clubs getting far more money than the others. Barca, and then the 2 Madrid teams and this year Valencia seem to have got there stuff together.
Ronaldo and Messi get a fair share of there goals playing far worse teams than any in the PL.
Besides scoring against the worse teams, Ronaldo and Messi consistently do it against the best teams in the world which is why they are who they are and there's no way the bottom of La Liga is worse than the current bottom of the Premier League which is in a terrible state.
We will agree to disagree.
