Apparently Di Maria has made a bid for Manchester United.
Spot on. There are plenty of ex United academy players scattered around the football leagues. We produce more than our fair share.
Hopefully. We kept him quiet last season so more of the same please.
with a potentially out of form De Gea due to his mind being confused, and Blind at CB with maybe Jones giving the nod over Smalling. I can see him scoring. Or at least giving the defence a torrid time. Certainly moreso than the last meeting.
Will be nearly impossible to buy a top class out and out striker, especially those looking to play in the Euro's. We play with one striker and that will be Rooney, especially as he is the captain so players coming in will realize that they will spend a lot of time on the bench.
Rather go for Higuain.
You just know Levy won't except anything under £40-45m, that pr*ck.

We should buy Levy as well.
It'd make no difference - he's still claiming that we won't sign Berbatov.
If Rooney has a shite season I'd just offload him next summer tbh. You look at City and Chelsea's 'undroppable' strikers in Aguero and Costa and realise he's just not worth the hassle these days. He needs replacing, fast.
We don't have that kind of money.
I suspect you would if you could realise anything vaguely sensible for them. If either of them go it'll be for a fraction of what they cost because they've been a disaster.
I'm not sure what you're on here to be honest. You come on all bullish because Spurs have one good homegrown forward as if they're suddenly the new Barcelona with a conveyor belt of world class talent waiting in the wings.
Then you criticise United's "Galactico" policy (which doesn't actually exist in reality) when your club blew a lottery win from the Gareth Bale deal to make their side no better and potentially worse
You get stick on here unfairly sometimes but you're not doing yourself any favours here.
If United have a 'Galactico' mentality then so do Spurs, it's just that they can only attract the second tier of players. So a shitty galactico policy 
I'd take Kane for 40m. Not a hope Spurs sell at that price though.
Only thing is, if we got Kane, Rooney would be pushed back to no.10 and then one or two of Herrera, Mata, Memphis (Maybe even Pedro) would lose out. Rooney is going to play every week, so I'd rather he played at 9 and left our actual wide forwards and 10's to play in those positions. I reckon we need a back up striker or trust in Chich and Wilson for the year and give Rooney his year up top and if he doesn't perform, splash out on a top, top striker.

We'd play Rooney at tip of midfield in front of Schweinsteiger and Carrick. Herrera would very likely be sold as he'd be like 4th choice in his position.
Exactly. For that reason, I'd rather we didn't go for Kane this year.
Rooney has 4 years left on his deal though and he'll be our main player for these 4 years. I don't think waiting will do us any good either. It's a bitch of a situation really.
Giving Rooney a 5-and-a-half-year contract at 28 was... well.
Not necesarilly - 4 years is a long time.
Anyway, two top level players for every position, isn't it?
Not going to work when Rooney is seemingly going to be in the first team every single time because he's captain and the philosophy dictates that the captain always plays.
Hmmm. 4-4-2, anybody?
Yeah; Memphis and pedro wide with Rooney and Kane up top. Would work very similar to the Rooney/rvp season except with a better midfield and wingers.
There's a lot of goals in that front 4.
But we're back to picking 2 from Mata, Herrera, Carrick, BFS and Morgan (as well as Fellaini, Blind, Perreira and anybody else who may be hoping for a go in our midfield).
Lewandowski & Benzema both reported to be valued at 40m, would much prefer either.
Kane needs another season before we should be thinking of about him, afterall, all this is based off 1 season, which he wasn't a first player until November and faded around March.His 40m valuation is ridiculous not even sure where it has come from. Im sure Ross Barkley was valued at 50m at one stage, and people on here were chomping at the bit to buy....doubt anyone will actually pay that amount right now

Carnage in here today. I like it.

reverse Galatico?. Any they DO happen to create/purchase leaves?No, we didn't pay £64m for him you nutjob
The fee was £53m or something near that rising to £59.7m, the fee we're selling him to PSG for is apparently £44.5m possibly raising to around £50m. You've just gone and picked up the maximum fee we could end up paying for Di Maria, then added £4.5m on top of it and then picked up the absolute lowest amount we could receive from PSG. It's absolutely mental.
We haven't lost more than £10m on him and a lot of loss is down to exchange rates. You paid £41m for Soldado and won't sell him for more than £6m now and £4m will go to Valencia, Lamela cost you £37m and he's probably worth around £15m out of which £12m will go to Roma anyway.
Daniel Levy, transfer genius.
If Kane signs than he will be cover/competition for Rooney. He may have scored alot of goals last season but he's still young and has yet to play with a top club.
Kane would be comfortably competing with Rooney unless he suddenly faded into obscurity, or Rooney really upped his game to his best levels. No way we'd pay that much for someone and then put him on the bench.
If it happened, then likely Kane would play 9 and Rooney 10 with Depay and Pedro wide.
Yeah, we'd probably find a way to fit them both into the team unless either of them hit a really poor spell of form.
We're not going to spend £40+ million for a back up player, we're not at Madrid levels just yet.
Why penny pinch ffs, its United. £40-45M for Kane is a bargain in my mind. He'd stay with United for at least 6 seasons minimum I'd suggest, probably the rest of his career arguably. Yet you want a poorer quality forward in Berahino. Kane has shown glimpses of being a really good player possibly world class, what I've seen of Berahino I'd suggest he'll stick around mid table teams for his career.
Hard to say really but with add on's anything up to £47m would be a good investment for the future.
Good chance if we get a talented young European forward (German, Spanish etc) they could progress well and then Real or Barca come sniffing around and swipe him. I'd suggest Kane would be more likely to stay if that was to happen.
Completely agree, your comment her and others hit the nail on the head. His all round play is superb. He's a big, strong technically sound forward with two good feet, holds up play well, brings Midfielders into attack and wide players and has an eye for a goal.
Forwards who have all this in their game are limited, he most definitely will be a very good forward in the years ahead. He'll average between 20-25 goals in most of his season's I'd imagine.
The bold part, yes...Yes it would!
Bale had 1 season where he hit that many goals and how much did Real spend on him again?
If Kane hits another 20-25 goals this season the absolute minimum Spurs will let him go for will be in the €75-80m bracket. With his age, his form, he'd of proven it in his first two full seasons in the PL and still having a number of years left on his contract his price would double.
I was looking at his video last night.
I saw 3 penalties. 2 tap ins. 2 headers. The rest were all down to his first touch and control of the ball.
I was here couple months ago saying that kane would be best suited to us next season; however after selling RVP, it really is a must now.
Why would we go for higuain, as some of the other fans said? Dont we have a thread about not having any more argies!
Kane isn't Rooney's competition for much long, more like his replacement in 2 years time considering he will take 1-2 years to settle in.
There are plenty of examples of players who have turned out to be one season wonders. We overpaid for both Di Maria and Shaw. However Di Maria had a world class season with Madrid when they won la decima and Shaw was an absolute necessity since we didn't have any first choice LB in our squad with Evra leaving.I see. United shell out £30m for Luke "Tubbs" Shaw, and double that for Angel "Wantaway" di Maria, yet Kane - who scored 31 goals last season - is not worth £40m
Kane is overly hyped because of a few good months last year when he was excellent. He did go off the boil towards the end of the season. If he repeats last season's heroics I would feel he justifies the 40 mil tag, else it is a huge risk right now.
Sterling was hugely overpriced but in case you missed it, Sterling was excellent the season before last when Pool came close to winning the PL. Yet he also showed the next season how young players can tail off. Similar can happen to Kane and 40 mil for a player who has had one proper season at senior level is a risk, no matter which way you look at it.
