This one definitely came from woody.
We need a good striker and who else should we sign? Not too many available to us at the minute. And I wouldn't mind banking on the 21 year old who tore up the best defense in the league, scored 30+ goals in league and Europe and will cost us substantially more if we wait for him to have another season like this one. If he scores close to 20 next year you can guarantee he is worth mega bucks from spurs.
What do you think he would cost us this summer?
With the Levy factor, upwards of 40mil. And unless someone can convince Benzema or Lewandowski to come strut their stuff over here then I wouldn't say it is a bad thing. Really what do we care if the club pays loads for Harry Kane, it just comes down to if we think he can do the job for us.
Massive gamble at the price he's likely to be. I'd obviously take him with the form he showed last season, but I'm just not convinced we will see him play as well this season. Ideally give him another season to prove himself, but it doesn't always work out that way. It's a difficult one.
If he was playing for West Ham or someone I'd be more excited because there might be a chance of getting him for a somewhat reasonable fee. That ain't happening with Spurs and we know it, whatever they want is going to way too much.
Nani+Hernandez+Januzaj (loan) plus £20m should suffice.
I think his price would actually be around £50M.
He is actually worth around £30m now max, however he is English so add £10m and because of Levy add a further £10m = £50m.
No way should we give spurs Nani + Hernandez + Januzaj on loan + £20m for Kane...that is crazy....and Levy would be equally as crazy to turn that down.
You don't get a world record fee for two seasons scoring 20 league goals. That would be beyond ridiculous.
If we assume Kane would cost us 40m+ then what would it matter if we pay that price in straight fee or part exchange? Especially give they're two players we're likely trying to get rid of anyway.
I agree but he also tore Chelsea's superior defensive line to bits.
We've seen plenty of one season wonder strikers look like world beaters against the best team in the league before. I'm still emotionally scarred by Alfonso Alves tearing us a new one.
It's far too big a risk in my opinion. If he has another great/good season then fair enough but it's far too early for the type of sum it involves.
When you think about it, it's not too ridiculous. We're going to struggle to get more than £20m for Nani and Hernandez combined, while Kane isn't going for anything less than £40m odd. Not saying that's a justified price, but Spurs have no incentive to sell for less.
I understand that people are sceptical and rightly so, but there's something about Kane that makes me think he'd make us regret not going at him aggressively this summer. He could very well be the real deal, and his skillset appears to be exactly what we need up top.
How long would the likes of Rooney, Vidic, Evra, Ferdinand, Giggs, Scholes, Keane etc have lasted at Spurs? Who are the Spurs legends of recent times that stayed there through the peak of their career? You couldn't even hold on to Teddy Sheringham.
I don't think it is really. We have multiple poachers but we lack forwards who can beat people more than anything. That's not Harry Kane.
If we do go for a forward I'd rather see a Suarez-lite type than Kane personally.
Kane will be sold in the next 12-18 months for sure, him signing his recent contract was the give away. Levy just cashing in...again....damn I hate that cnut.
Eh ya I'm aware of that. Anything they report on tends to go up on the website before it's mentioned on TV or radio.BBC is a TV channel(and set of radio channels)
you do if your levy... look what he got for bale
Spurs are better off with the player than with the money IMO. Sure, give them £60M but all they'll do is spend it on 3 or 4 players who will all be shite.
Actually they would probably spend it on the new stadium woudn't they? as thats going to be quite a hefty bill
I much rather we give them straight cash than players plus cash, they would waste it all anyways.
Nani and Hernandez might actually work well with that team.
If the club is really willing to pay than I have nothing against him, he seems to be a quality player.
Levy is smart, he might just consider selling Kane while his stock is this high. Kane will get that extra bit of attention next season from the opposition, with a bit of added expectation. There is nothing Kane can really do next season to take his £40-£50m tag to the next level from an investor point of view. It could well go down if he doesn't continue this form, though.
That said I do rate Kane and think the deal would suit both parties. I think he'd do well at United.

Him or Lacazette and we're flying. If player wants the Champions League experience then good offer may be just enough.
there's no way he's leaving spurs, this stinks of an agent angling for a pay raise given his form this season
i know he's not long had a pay bump but think its 'only' at 45k. Following that season he'll be pushing for twice that

Too many issues for me with Kane.
Does he even want to leave Spurs.
Levy will likely not sell, & if he does then it'll be dragged out until August 31st, and we need a striker long before then.
He'll cost stupid money on the back of one top season if he doesn't follow it up we'll look like idiots, and be stuck with him.
Not for me, well not yet anyway.

Probably regret saying this when it gets quoted but I'm really unconvinced.
One v good season (which quickly dried up after England cap).

No way Spurs are stupid enough to give him a new contract with 5 years left on the one he signed in February. However, if he shows the same form next season that he has done in the season past then that may very well change.
perhaps not, but any agent knows now that the power lies with the player and if he's been offered silly money by numerous clubs he'll be sure to make spurs well aware of it in the hope they blink in order to keep kane happy.
knowing levy thats unlikely in this case but quick succession contracts are not that unusual in football nowadays
Yeah, that's true. F**k, I couldn't trust agents as far as I could throw 'em (and that's not very far).
Harry Kane isn't a poacher. He isn't exactly known for his dribbling either, granted, instead his power, athleticism, intelligence and ball striking. We need that sort of player again, because it certainly isn't Van Persie, and it probably isn't Rooney either (although I do rate him highly).
I wish Woodward would quit wasting everyone's time over Harry Kane. It's not going to happen. Daniel Levy will drag it out until the last day and then just say no.
Not bad.
maybe just me, but I dont want us to sign him , not on the strength of one season and not for the amount of money being talked about.
