Harry Kane

One of the problems with Kane for me is that for someone his age, the lack of titles is an issue. He may be a winner of certain stats in certain years, but he’s not a Winner. I like players used to winning, especially at that age. And his European record isn’t impressive either.

By the way, the players from Madrid you mentioned all have (still) better physical conditions than Kane. Ronaldo is the ultimate athlete who thinks of his body as a temple, for instance.

Would I prefer Kane over some of the lesser names people throw around like Danny Ings or Andre Silva? 100%. But I have Haaland and Lukaku way ahead of him.

This is where I have to disagree with you.

Has Kyle Walker’s game dramatically changed from when he was at Spurs? He’s more defensive but still got the exact same skill set. Yet he’s a serial winner at City.

John O’Shea didn’t lack winners medals but he was nowhere near as good as other defenders in the PL.

Teams win trophies not individuals.

But sticking on the United theme, I seem to remember them signing one of the best attackers in the PL, who by your logic, “wasn’t a winner” in van Persie. Look how that ended up.

Yes we do disagree. Walker was a supporting player, it’s a different story. If Kane comes, this becomes the “Kane team”. RVP certainly is an exception.

I’m not as against Kane as maybe I sound, but for the money it would take, Lukaku would be a better (for me!) and cheaper option, and Haaland even if more expensive, would bring global commercial returns that would easily make up the difference. But after those two, I could live with him hehe. Cheers

It’s the obsession with longevity which I find strange. Some people are so focused on the future that they ignore the here and now.

Real Madrid dominated Europe with a squad which contained key players in their prime. Ronaldo, Marcelo, Modric and Ramos were all in their late 20s/early 30s during that spell.

Sign Kane and we’d have him, KDB, Sterling, Bernardo, Stones and Laporte all falling into the same category over the next 4 years.

I’ve not actually seen that much of Haaland but know he’s had a meteoric rise of the past 24 months. He also impressed me in the CL match.

But I have seen a lot of Kane and he’s been immense for many years now. He’s also become one of the best passers in the league and has the assists to back it up.

The fact that there are some posts on here wishing him to join United is utter madness.

I would prefer Haaland but think signing Kane would probably be a better signing initially as he knows the league and would 'hit the ground running'.
He's a brilliant striker, links up well with Sterling for England and would thrive in our team with the service he would get.
Levy would probably drive a hard bargain so not sure if a deal could be done, but if we can't get Haaland we should go all out for Kane.
