When you pay what we paid for Grealish, it sends a message and the market listens. Also, we’re only going slightly above what Spurs and Atletico offered.

I don’t think Vlahovic has just “potential for the future”. He already is an accomplished striker in a league known for being tactically advanced, and one closer to Pep in principles. He wouldn’t struggle here.

I have said multiple times that the reason why it never made sense to pay what was being quoted for Kane is that he brought no commercial return or adds nothing to the brand globally, and those numbers you pay if these factors are involved. So I’m relieved, happy and proud we’re walking away from that unnecessary business, if indeed we are.

But above all, for the way we play and the players we have, we don’t need more than a decent striker. We don’t need the numbers Kane delivers in SOME seasons. That’s why I started saying someone like André Silva would’ve been enough, or others like that. And Vlahovic has what it takes to do the job we actually need. He means danger in the box. And there is potential he can become a star — and OUR star, someone whose accomplishments are rooted here, and not just using us to win titles or add lines to their CV. I’m 100% in.

What does that even mean?

If Harry Kane comes here and wins trophies then his accomplishments will be rooted here. I couldn't care less if he gets remembered as the former Spurs striker in retirement so long as he does the job for us.

We already have a more than decent striker in Jesus and he has never 20 PL goals in a season for us. In fact, he didn't even get double figures for league goals last season with Aguero barely playing.

Where we differ is our opinions on value. I think Harry Kane for £150 million offers us a far better risk/reward value than Vlahovic for £70 million.
 
For those who believe sam lee There js no plan B unfortunately. Kane or nothing

Wouldn't disagree.

But a differece of at least 40m and likely more, of what the club reportedlybvalues Kane at and what Spurs want for him, might just be too much for thar proven striker averaging less than 20 league goals in the last 3 seasons. If that happens to be the case and they pay significant money on a less proven but younger and cheaper player, I wouldn't really complain. Happy with either. Still not sure I believe the links enough yet, so all hypotheyical.

I don't see Kane's productivity being any barrier to his potential transfer. Stating that he averages less than 20 PL goals over the past three seasons in factually correct but does not tell the full story. He scored 58 goals in 98 PL games in that period which shows an incredible level of consistency.

Kane does average over 20 PL goals a season over the past 5 seasons and is coming off the back of his most productive ever season for PL goals and assists.

I'm not directly aiming this at you, but I think a lot of people ignore just how good Harry Kane is due to the fact he's English and plays in the PL.
