Harry Kane | Real willing to prepare world-record £200m bid [The Times]

Forget Real Madrid, they have no money, they are in debt and they would probably have to sell half of their stars to get him.

One team has the money to pay, and that team is us.

Hopefully, we will sell Lukaku and buy him.
 
Why are people comparing Rooney to Kane? There completely different players. It’s like the Dutch comparing Bergkamp and Van nistlerooy.

I hate it when people post a load of stats to compare players, when all you have to do is watch the game. Stats don’t tell the full story.

Rooney wasn't good enough to become the unquestionable focal point instead of being played out of position to accommodate better players.

To be honest, I think Harry Kane seems to be a better player than Rooney ever was.

You're correct though that Rooney has a bigger legacy (for now).

But unless if he gets long-term injuries and/or leaving England, I'm sure Kane will end up as England & EPL's all-time top scorer before hanging up his boots.

Kane is really that fecking great and is the best striker since Thierry Henry's golden days.

I don't agree with this at all. Rooney was so good that he allowed another world class attacker to partner him up front, if Rooney were to play as an out and out number 9 it would not only limit his play but would leave Sir Alex looking for a no 10 as good as Wayne which was extremely hard to find.
You have the chance to sign RVP. Do you turn him down for Kagawa behind Wayne? Of course not. He even played as a 10 behind Welbeck and Hernández FFS.
You could sign a young Wayne Rooney and he would accomadate any world class striker in front of him. Kane has to be that striker himself.
He's very Messi like in that way. It's easier to sign Suarez and drop Messi deep than keeping Messi up top and finding a goalscoring number 10 that brings elements to the game that's already there.
Why wouldn't you go with the second option? You already have the answer to the riddle in your squad.
 
Rooney was fantastic at 18, but in my opinion a 18 year old Rooney was better than a 25 year old Rooney and a 25 year old Rooney was better than a 32 year old Rooney.

Whilst Rooney was world class at 25, i still don't think he's career developed how it should have, he just never looked after himself, i called it back in 2009 when he was around 25 that he had a short-battery life and got a lot shit for it, i compared him to Adriano, a boy-wonder (like Rooney) tipped to be the next L. Ronaldo, career never went that way though (like Rooney) and batteries expired around 27 (like Rooney).

Sure Rooney is leading scorer of Manchester United and England, but think that's slightly embarrassing to be honest with you, as i wouldn't consider him to be a 'true' legend of the game.

As for the Kane comparisons, as someone else pointed out totally different players. Kane is more comparable to prime Shearer (Blackburn years/early Newcastle) but even those 2 were different players.

Sorry but you are deluding yourselves if you believe this article has an relevance to his future aspirations. If Real come in with a bid in the region of £150 million or above, Levy will accept and Kane will leave. It's refreshing to read an article that isn't your typically generic PR rubbish, as it clearly shows he has genuine affection for the club - but if he has an ounce of ambition in his body - winning CL, or domestic honours or simply being recognized as one of the worlds top strikers, then he will need to leave spurs for a bigger club for one that can grant those wishes. Just like the vast majority of professional footballers the world over.

Actually I think you are the one who is deluded if you think Levy would sell Kane for £150 or even £200 million. He's priceless to Spurs. He's already at a club who look like they can challenge for the biggest prizes and he's already recognised as one of the best strikers on the planet.

Sure it may happen one day but definitely not this summer. I honestly don't think there a value Levy would sell at and Kane doesn't want to leave.

Just as well legends aren't defined based on your opinion
 
Kane will be proven to be a better striker than rooney but if he stays at spurs he wont be half as successful. He is a goner next summer. He is a good player but if he has any ambition he will have to move. A bit silly by spurs fans to deny this after modric and bale saga. Especially.

Debatable. When they really starts hunting, it will be over pretty soon. Nobody is that stupid to reject real madrid to play for spurs. Sorry.

:lol: Rooney is one of the most iconic players of his era (mid 2000s).

How can you say that with any degree of conviction given the nature of the game today? Harry Kane is hot property right now and his stature within the game is growing on a daily basis, there are very few clubs in the world who aren't interested in his services. He's Alan Shearer reborn.

If Real place a concrete bid anywhere in the region of £150 million, or indeed north of that figure, then he is as good as gone.

This has been answered over and over, simply listen to what the player himself says. Harry is worth more to Tottenham than £150M, he is simply irreplaceable to us. It would go against everything the club and player has said, plus he is under contract till 2022. We do not need to sell him so as long as Harry wants to stay he will stay, could be 1-2 seasons or it could be more. Believe it or not from what I am reading, he isn't a favorite among Madrid fans.

Why reply with a laughing face nit-picking at just 1 thing i said? If you read a few lines above, you will see i called Rooney "world class at 25" and i don't don't use the term 'world class' lightly like many people do.

Just as i don't use the term 'true legend' and with that this is something i wouldn't consider Rooney as, would you consider Rooney a true legend of the game? Up there with the likes of Zidane/Di Stefano/Cruyff/Platini/Eusebio? I wouldn't, when you think of words to describe Wayne Rooney's football talents, would 'prolific' be a word to describe him? It wouldn't be one i would use, yet he's United's and England's top scorer.

Sure he was world class in his day, but still feel when you look at a 17/18 year old Wayne Rooney, his career wasn't as good as expected and he's 1 of few so called 'world class' players who shined brighter young rather than improve as he got older with more experience.
 
I wonder if PSG would get interested in him at some point. Cavani is a good player and in some days can actually be world class but Kane is on another level and would almost surely improve them. I don't see any top striker going to Madrid while C.Ronaldo is still there.

How come, what are they saying? He's not very flashy I guess.
 
He just goes out there and gets the job done. Direct, and knows where the back of the net is, excellent hold up play. His distribution is underrated a lot I think, picks out some great passes, surprised he doesnt have more assists.

I guess for Madrid you need that x factor, that ability to beat a man with blistering pace or amazing footwork. Kane doesnt really have this in his locker.
 
We have other areas to strengthen but if there was the slightest chance he would come to United then everything else gets put on hold imo.

He’s the best English player of his generation, he would be sensational at United.
 
Kane's a terrific player but since the Berbatov transfer Levy has basically had an embargo against selling to us. Whether he stays at spurs or not he's not coming here.

Could always let the Madrid circus have him for a season and then get him after he goes scoreless for last three games. I'd even exchange DDG for him.

Nah not for me. At 18 he was a better dribbler and hadn't lost his agility but he was so much more clinical and efficient at 25.

I don't see it at the moment, if he moves this summer it's England or Real Madrid. PSG aren't expected to splash big in attack right now. Maybe in a couple years if there's a need in Paris, Kane is interested and he raises a bit his international profile to justify the investment.

By then Mbappé could have taken over the central spot or new strikers might look like better options. Kane doesn't look like a PSG signing anyway.

Yeah, but I don't think he would ever want to play for another english club. Only Madrid and Barça seems like options
