There is the signing to put us back at the top table. Bruno behind Kane is a terrifying prospect.

This instantly makes their midfield one of the best in MLS. This is exactly the sort of signing I didn't want them to make.
He has to have some takers in Europe? Why the move to MLS?
Certainly a strange move for a player that should be hitting his prime years right now.
Realistically he's not going to a club that can win anything in a major league in Europe so why not go to North America instead?
Bellingham to BvB apparently
Because it's an inferior league and also he can earn more in Europe.
What now?
I'd certainly agree with that point if he was 34, I'd rather move to North America than China as a retirement league, but the guy is at his peak and he would still earn more in Europe than North America surely?
Mobilise every possible noodle sponsor asap. Send Matic and McTominay to deliver the cash.
Dortmund seems to be a major pull for these young Brits nowadays, fairplay to them.
Maybe. Maybe he thinks he has enough and would rather live there than Europe. Who knows.
Apparently his contract only runs until December 2022. Maybe he just wanted to get some playing time quickly?
In terms of experiencing a new culture both football and country, it’s getting more attractive
The days of Brits being insular are over
Do we have any realistic chance of getting Kane?
Perhaps if Poch takes over in the summer?
Perhaps if Poch takes over in the summer?
Agreed.
I think this will ultimately help the England national team too in the long run.
Won’t happen but we should make EVERY possible attempt to sign him if indeed he is looking to move.
Can’t imagine that he will stay, following on from my post yesterday that him renewing his contract at Spurs was the most ridiculous decision.
Be interesting to see if Dortmund are ridiculed for spending £30m on a 16 year old, as we were.
It'll also be interesting if the same people who were having a go at the club on here for going after him at that price will also have a go at the club for 'missing out' on him.

When did we spend 30m on a 16 year old?
When we were linked with Bellingham, the quoted price was £30m. People went mad. Sky were pushing it as being a massive deal.
Ofcourse, It is bound to happen. Even though, he chose to go there for purely football reasons.
There is a chance he breaks into the first team and plays regular football, which will not happen at Manutd
This is true, no one really knows, either way I'm sure he'll love the place, just doesn't fit in with the stereotypical athlete.
Better 30m now than 120m in 3 years if he is that talented
Am sure this will also be a deal where a release clause will be inserted.
Lets put the Good performances aside and have a look at his injury record it dosent look very Good to be honest. Especially with the money Levy would ask for (200mill plus?). Unfortunaly I think its another Gareth bale case.
I know he is a worldclass player but the fact still is that he missing Around 10-15 games a season and it wont get better in my opinion. 70 days injured this season already..
Do not want..
Like we have never given any teenager minutes when they are good enough. Only this season Greenwood and Williams are now key members of the first team. James and McTominay as well.
Great player, no doubt, but considering the size of the rebuild and the price we'll get quoted for him, i'd prefer Chelsea and City to duke it out.
Yeah that probably makes sense rather than spending what would be a huge chunk of our cash for rebuilding on one player. He's just one of those players we would regret missing out on.
This is what grinds my gears about our current spending 'restrictions' and why I wouldn't be against the dreaded Saudi ownership. A club of our size should be able to buy Kane, Sancho and whoever else without busting a sweat.
How old was James and McTominay?
Greenwood is 18 and so is Williams.
They play on the wings not CM. Why would you spend £30m on a 16 year old when we have Mejbri and Garner?
Absolutely not! Read what @Knux said, wrote above.
Right, let's get Saudis so we can buy all the Big name players, spent trillion on them, give them million £ per week so our fanbase can be happy, only to start bitching and moaning how crap they are, after only 3,4 months.
Wow touchy.
We don’t need the Saudi’s to spend our own money, we need owners that can afford us and don’t seek a financial return, unfortunately that leaves only the Saudi’s.
So you obviously don’t agree that Manchester United should eat at the same table as the likes of Madrid, Barca, City, Juve, PSG?
Because, ya know, they all spend money like water mate and it’s no coincidence they have all been successful in these last 6 years that we’ve been floating in obscurity.
Your right, what we need is to be able to only spend as little as say Arsenal, then pray we turn even worse players into world beaters!
Genius lad.
I wasn't one of the people against the signing...
Wow, smarty pants here. What we need is to spend money wisely, get the right players for needed position on the pitch, not to throw money for the flavour of the month/year, because fans like you want new shiny toys only. How many big name players did good here, and will be remembered fondly by fans since SAF retired? Zlatan? And I don't want Saudis nowhere near United, not only cause who the are and what they do, but we are Manchester United, them buying us will be no end to Media talk, brainwashing public how we sold our soul, because we were not able to get back to winning ways without them.
Now, tell me, where did I exactly say that? Do we know each other? Why are you putting your words it my mouth? I don't want to eat at the same table with them, I want us to have our own table at the top of the restaurant with the most beautiful view. I want us to win trophies year after year after year, and be better than those clubs.
True, they spend money, some even got players who were not big name players and they turn out very good for them, some bought players for a lot of money and they did nothing, or very little.. So you want Kane for 200m, and what, 300,000 per week, only for him to be absent for 25 games every season, cool, because he is big name player.
Again, where did I say that? We need players who will fit in regardless of their name and price, who will play for the club, not for themselves. No more Diva's like Pogba. And btw, it is "You're", not "Your".
Thanks! I am Genius. But I am not a lad.
Have a great day.
Can't wait to drop €200 million on him in 3 years time.
What is going on with Dortmund? How can they be more attractive to English youth than every single PL club? They've had some amount of success with Sancho but that's like one datapoint.
He should have thought about that before signing a 6-year contract in 2018. Now he's contracted until he's 31 with no pressure on Spurs to sell, or offer him better money, whatsoever.
They'd only sell abroad and for ridiculous fees. For an EPL transfer he'd have to sit tight until 2023 to effectively pressure Levy.
Why would their success with other young players not be relevant? Are English youth so different from German and French that make their success with those uncorrelated?
