I for once would love this transfer to happen just for Glaston's meltdown. It will be the glorious moment for caftards, even better if Kane move to United. If history tell you something its Levy always sell when the money is right. He's already stated that Spurs needs trophies to show him he can stay, if not, he will leave. He's not stupid like Alan Shearer i think just root in Spurs till his career over so he can bragging he's the all time goalscorer of err... Spurs. Even Shearer has one PL's trophy to show.

If he ambitious enough to win something big in his career he will eventually move on from Spurs. Even Perez can tricked Figo to moved the other side, he will do next time the chance open like he did with Bale.

Kane is worth far more to Spurs than £200m - because of his value on the pitch to the team and also because of various potential commercial deals to do with the new stadium which dwarf that sum.

Kane to RM this summer is total non-starter and simply won't happen - for the reasons given above and several more besides ... but I'm sure that won't stop various posters on here claiming otherwise.

Thats why the next two seasons are critical -- you dont win anything, Kane will need to re-position himself for his last big contract at 27/28y.o.
If you lose MoPo that could accelerate things up though.
 
I reckon Levy will drive him there for that amount, heck he'd probably throw Poch in as a sweetener. That's crazy money and what people forget about the crazy deals we've seen recently is that ludicrous purchase of Neymar, no one is throwing money like that around.

I could easily see Bale used as part of the deal to bring Kane to Bernabeu. This could appease the Spurs fans and Levy would possibly do well with 120m + Bale.

The only problem is Spurs would never pay his wages

Inevitable link this. Madrid need a replacement for Benzema that fits their style and there are none better than Kane.

He'll replace Ronaldo, not Benzema. As in, he will be their principle source of goals. They'll change their system to accommodate him. Rightly so.
 
Glaston is coping with this eventual loss with his own version of "reality distortion field". Please leave him alone.

I am really intrigued by his stance though when it is clear as day to see that Kane's ambitions won't be fulfilled by staying at Spurs for the long haul. The best deal they can get out of this is milk Real (or any other club that comes for him) for as much money as possible and start talking about replacements. If Levy is a pragmatist, he will already be bracing himself for offers.
 
GlastonSpur said:
Why? We don't need it. The club is profitable and our income will soon sky-rocket.

Or if the argument is that, with £200m to spend, we could improve the team (even without Kane) beyond where it is now, then the same argument must be applied to RM in reverse: i.e. that they could improve their team more by spending £200m on 2 or 3 players rather than signing Kane.

But it's all academic anyhow, because Spurs won't take the money even if offered it.

So you believe that your team is as good as Madrids?

That equation clearly doesn't work the same for both clubs.

Saying this is a none starter is silly. There is absolutely no reason to think Kane wouldn't want to go to a bigger, better club who would pay him a wage befitting his contribution. The same way Modric and Bale did.

Not to mention live in sunny spain playing for one of the biggest clubs in the world. In my opinion if Real come calling there will be only one winner.

The question is will Kane go back on his words, as he will sound like a hypocrite but he wouldn't be the first player professing their love for their boyhood club only to go join another better club.

He has been subtly laying down the groundwork for a potential move in the future. The tune has changed from "I want to retire here" to "Need to win trophies, progress as a club blah blah and I'll retire here".

I think Real will find it tough to land him this summer. Kane would need to push the move a lot which I dont think he will unless they have a poor 2nd half of the season. Another average season next year and he'll be off in the summer of 2019 I reckon.
 
If Real bid 200m, this deal will happen 100%. Any Spurs fan saying otherwise is just in denial.
 
Kane might leave at some point, but I am 100% confident it will not be this summer, it's just a lazy story. Real might be willing to bid 200m, but no chance Spurs will sell for that this summer.

I would actually love it if Kane stayed with a trophyless Tottenham. Just as I think more highly of Shearer for staying with Newcastle. Would any of the class of 92 have stayed with us had we not been winning anything? Neville might, not sure about the rest though.

Scholes said that he loved staying at United, boyhood dream and winning everything, but as good as he was, he just might have been tempted by money and throphies elsewhere had we not been the serial-winners we are.

Whats the several more reasons besides? I only ask because a good friend of mine is a spurs fan and a staunch one at that like yourself whom would have actually taken what we payed for Lukaku. Mind you you he has never been Kanes biggest fan which I've never understood. Personally I would love him at United but I would actually prefer to see him stay at Spurs for the competition aspect. If Spurs can match his ambitions it would be great that he stays so they can continue to challenge domestically and progress in Europe. The only other striker for RM worth going for is Lewa at Bayern and im not being an asshole by saying this but they just don't seem to sell their top end players ever.

Pochettino would likely resign if we sold Kane, so we'd lose the best manager we've had a for a long time. And with both Kane and Pochettino gone, that might well lead to other of our best players wanting out.

In short, Kane is iconic for Spurs: from home-grown to the world's best striker. He's our poster boy ...and those thinking we'll sell him just before the grand opening of our new stadium - and thereby puncture the huge wave of optimism surrounding that event - are living in cloud cuckoo land.
 
Real Madrid aren't top. So if Kane goes there this means he is a money-grabbing mercenary who'd be betraying his principles, ethics and brave war-time ancestors.

Right?

Doesn't work like that. Ignores the context. You buying 3-4 50m players would probably do more for you than Real doing that .... .

That's debateable. RM's team is in decline, with several ageing players. Before the start of next season: Ronaldo (32), Modric (32), Ramos (32), Benzema (30), Marcelo (30).
 
Once no part of the funding for this transfer comes from us buying Ronaldo or Bale I’m happy :D
 
I can't see Kane going anywhere yet if in honest.

As people say, he'd have to kick up a huge storm to push for a move...he doesn't seem that type as of yet.

If Spurs don't progress next season I would say he's more likely.
 
I really wish we could get him, but with Levy at the helm, it's impossible.
 
Spurs need to take players off Real and recieve £200 million for this to be close to being worth it.

First point. Haven’t history learnt you anything? Ronaldo. Bale. Suarez. Coutinho. Just to mention four players leaving English clubs. If Kane wants a new challenge, playing for probably the most prestigious club in the world, then he goes. Sooner or later.

Second point. Every wise businessman knows that everything in life has a price. £200m is more then the valuation for Neymar. M’bappé. Pogba. Today Arsenal learned the hard way what’s happening when you delay the inevitable.

Kane is a fabulous player. Scoring goals for fun. But isn’t it a little bit early to call him the best striker in the world? Wait until the season has ended. CL? WC?

Finally. Glaston! I admire your tough stance. Your belief and optimism is top notch. But stop pretending that you hold the cards and own your beloved club. You don’t. Levy sold Berbatov, Modric and Bale. He will sell more players before he steps down. If the valuation is right, the player wants to leave, then there is nothing he can do in the end. Trust me. You don’t want a ongoing saga of speculations, disappointed players and supporters. Take the magical £200m when you can and re invest. That’s the wise decision. (Good night. Tomorrow I will find out why the world isn’t round. Don’t you think Glaston )

I'm not talking about "sooner or later", I'm talking about his summer. And this summer I'm very, very confident that Kane won't be sold.

What happens thereafter will depend - not on RM and money offered - but on how Spurs do between now and the summer after next. If we start to win some trophies and can still offer CL football, then Kane could be with us for his whole career. If we don't and can't, then he may well want to move on.
 
Hopefully he goes to Madrid, flops and then we sign him 2 years later for half the price.

I just don’t think they’ve got the money Spurs would ask for. The premier league is flush and getting richer. Madrid have got too many problems on the horizon to spend the required amount on Kane

I doubt that. If Real want him, they know he's not coming cheap and they're always willing to cough up what's necessary to secure a signature. Also, I think they're going to try to push the boat on getting rid of Bale and Ronaldo. If they find a sucker for even one of them, that's like 30mil of wages a year off the book on top of whatever fees they get.

I think the problem will be in convincing Kane to force a move out this summer. Next summer would be my bet if Spurs don't progress.

feck Spurs, if they received £200m from Real Madrid for Kane so they will invest £200m in rebuilding squad to become even stronger. I hope Harry Kane will stay at Spurs rest of his life.

yeah yeah
despite the stadium cost increasing by up to 600m ... lets be generous and call it an extra 300m)
https://www.si.com/soccer/2017/12/05/spurs-stadium-set-cost-estimated-ps1bn-due-complexity-project
and a realistic chance they will miss out on the cl (probably 30m)
Plus no doubt ali and erikson wanting new pay deals
And you think Levy is gonna sepend all that 200m on a kane replacement.
whatever your smoking - do you have any spare?

In the past they have because they’ve been able to afford it. I think people underestimate just how much cash our league has now. 200m just isn’t going to cut it and Kane isn’t going to kick a stink up like Modric, Ronaldo etc
