How do you work that out?

I'm not sure 98 out of 100 players would choose to join us over Real Madrid, or maybe even Barca.
But why keep going on and on about it? We might as well not discuss the possibility of any Spurs player and close thread then. And this is a United forum where we currently talk about a player from a club inferior to ourselves, wich is very unlikely to consistently compete for trophies and will continue to be a stepping stone. It probably wont happen but it's not shocking that some see the possibility.
I keep being told this. But the evidence of the last 7 years all supports what I've said, whilst zero evidence supports what you're saying. Moreover, I'd guess I know rather more than you about the post-Berbatov policies of THFC.
We would probably have to break the transfer record again to sign if we ever sign him.
First of all you didn't get £90m and secondly you said at the time it was going to take at least £160m to get him. Honestly, even if you had got £90m (you didn't) your post about laughing at £80m still looks absurd seeing as it's slightly over 10% more.
I don't even want Kane here, why would I dream about that?
And I'm willing to do that but only after I have another look(next season) to make sure he is the real thing.
Do not want...yet. Let him have another season to prove himself. Spending big money on someone so unproven is crazy imo. He's basically had 6 months of real performance at a top level. Spending big money on that is Zaki-stupid.
To be honest I still dont' see it either. He doesn't have any outstanding attributes, short of putting the ball into the net. Inzhagi I hear you scream, well yes, but if that's the case he needs to do it over a bigger time frame.
This reaks to me of Levy leaking rumours saying 'United are going to try to grab all our players, but don't worry Spuds army, I shall not let them have them!'. When in reality we don't really care.
On a related side note, if you were a player who honestly believed that you need to move to a prem club to show you stuff, and then move to a top club, is Spurs the worst team in the world to join? Levy would rather let players rot them sell them. I saw Spurs just released some player they signed in 2011 who literally never set foot on the pitch for em.

I agree that it's not shocking that some see the possibility. And I'm not suggesting that the thread should be closed ... it is at least entertaining. You might also bear in mind that there are only two (?) Spurs fans on this forum, with many United fans making comments that IMO bear little relation to reality ... so it's not so surprising that some response-repetition is involved.
As for stepping stone, your club also appears to be a stepping stone to RM. And since we finished above you last season, and finished only one place and 6 points below you this season, is it so surprising that Levy doesn't wish to strengthen you at our expense, regardless of money?
Do not want Harry Kane. Let's see how he performs for another season before spending crazy money.
No, I didn't say that it would take "at least £160m to get him", or if I ever did (?) then it obviously wasn't a serious comment. And yes, we did get £90m: 85.2m + 6.5m later add-on because RM won the CL, minus £2m ('FIFA Solidarity Payment' paid to S'hampton) = £89.7m
You have had two 'in demand' players in that time frame and Real wanted both of them. In that same time frame Arsenal have sold multiple first team players domestically
They didn't have a choice and neither would you if no Spanish clubs get involved. Bigger clubs than Spurs can't keep hold of players who want to leave. Believing Spurs are different is delusional.
You have a point.
If LVG really identifies Kane as a primary target, it doesn't matter to Levy if MUFC buys him for £70m because Spurs have already proven that they have no idea how to spend that type of money and even if they did...they simply are not attractive to the top tier players.
MUFC could be out of the champions league for 2 years successively and still attract a higher caliber of player than Spurs can dream of attracting. It must be a tough position for Spurs to be in.
So hang on to Kane (and Eriksen) as long as you can because they wouldn't be there for much longer.
Yeah just the 25 goals difference ! He's on a different planet to Welbeck as far as finishing goes. He scores goals, who really cares what else he does or doesn't do.
Paul Gascoigne. Mind you he was barking mad & now regrets the move to Spurs instead of United
I can't speak for what Arsenal chose to do ... and in any case you have to take into account the contract situations of at least some of the players concerned. Also, there are other foreign CL clubs aside from just those in Spain. And finally, Kane has expressed no wish to leave ... quite the opposite.
Kane will be out of there as soon as the money is right. Why on earth would he stay at spuds?
I'd love Kane at United, but 1) Levy be asking for silly money and 2) the money we could potentially spend for him after one season could be a risk.
If we could get him for like 35M, then I think it's worth the gamble. He's young, English, talented and from what was shown last season, a goalscorer.

Here I am!
Cock is out for Harry Kane!

Everyone is biased towards their own club, I get that. But the idea that you wouldn't sell domestically is delusional. Real saved you from that with Modric and Bale, that's a rarity and not the norm.
You finished above us in a season where the club was in a mess but lets be real here, in the years to come I don't think many level headed people see Spurs as a genuine rival to United, Chelse and City. As for Madrid; Ronaldo had a dream to play there, DDG is from the city, and his girlfriend lives there. Most clubs struggle when Madrid wants a player.
Not when they want a manager though, thankfully.
Then how much more could it rise. We won't be seeing world record fees for him anyway unless he scores 40+ goals next season.
We will sign him next summer. It will be a season of shite at Spurs. His head will be turned.
He ain't leaving now though.

He worths 20-25 million
He is worth a lot more than that.
He really isn't. We just signed a Dutch international who had a decent World Cup and a great season in which his team won the league for £21m, there's no way Kane is worth a lot more.
That is what i would pay for him, no more than that.
Juventus just signed Dybala for 32m euros, and he had 13 goals and 10 assists in a weaker league. (23m gbp).
You have to consider the amounts of goals, the long contract, the player not wanting out, the team not wanting to sell, him being english and more.
Depay was ready for a step up, the dutch league is a stepping stone league for the top players, and they aren't known to hold out for stupid-cash, Depay was close, if not the one who cost the most from the Eresdivision.
With all add-ons that is the outgoing transfer record for the Dutch league, so I don't think they're comparable. Dutch clubs don't have nearly as much money as PL clubs and Memphis will never be homegrown for English clubs either.
Dybala's potential is much bigger than Kane's. They should probably go for a similar figure though.
How do you quantify their potential?
"Much bigger potential" sounds more like "i like his style better".
Claiming to know players potential is just stupid, both are top talents.
And you wouldn't get him for that. It is as simple as that.
Yeah, was going to say something similar.
It'd be an exciting transfer for certain.
But the idea of trying to negotiate with Tottenham would be horrific, and would end up as a ludicrous fee.

I don't think Kane is a top talent at all. He'll be a decent league forward. Spending £50m+ on him would be an equivalent of £35m for Carroll.
