They have a similar issue with Kane as to what we have with Sterling. There'd be nobody willing to pay whatever the selling club wants for the guy in January.

The only club dumb enough to shell out way too much for Kane in January signed Ronaldo, so they won't do it.

Kane's stuck until summer at least. And unless City BOTH fail to get Haaland AND Kane's selling price dips immensely then he'll be stuck there far beyond that, barring a Newcastle bid.

I think we might go for him in January, if Conte says to Levy he wants him gone then Levy will reduce the price, plus with pep being a big fan of Kane and us not having a striker I can see us bidding 80 odd mil for him.

 

[Xhavenjoe]

Been saying since the summer window closed that we should offer £40m the 1 January. Then drop it a million a day

That sounds like a cunning plan, Baldrick.
If Spurs can hold out until Easter, they’ll have to pay us £35 million to take him off their hands.

 

[Coatigan]

Kane is worth the risk of 50 million with add-ons for performance.

He won't go for anything less than 100m. Hence he will stay.

I just can't see his price dropping. I also can't see Levy coming back to City with his tail between his legs.

If I'm wrong then yeah I could see a transfer potentially happening, but I think this one is a non-option for the time being.

If Sterling wanted to go to spurs he would’ve gone in the summer

 

[Semper aggressus]

He likes that striker that can hold the ball up for the other striker in his system who is fast to run off him. Lautaro was the quick one that ran off Lukaku who would hold the ball. He's going to do wonders with Son. Kane idk probably why they are getting linked to Vlahovic whos tall and strong and more of a Conte striker.

Could see Kane sold in January for them to have funds

It would be much better for us if we signed Vlahovic than Kane.

Any manager taking the Spurs job is going to want to bring in several new players. Dier and Davies were just unbelievably bad on Saturday and the full backs/wing backs or whatever couldn't go forward and were a liability at the back, the midfield was useless - not lacking creativity and workrate - just plain useless, Son was a pale shadow of what he has been and the only scrap of life came from Lucas Moura, who was taken off. Harry Kane can be added to the list of nonentities. But if Conte is serious about his list of targets, and it's not just a list to stick up the chimney towards the end of December, Levy is going to have to take some very uncomfortable decisions. One may be that he has to be prepared to raise funds for good players by selling a lot, a real lot, of dross. The myth of his brilliance as a deal maker and negotiator has been well and truly exposed and he will have to bite the bullet and accept that to sell Kane to the one club he wants to go to figures of anything like £100 million are not realistic at all. It is mind boggling to think how many of that team from Saturday would have to be sold to raise enough for Chiesa and you've probably got rid of half those who didn't play on Saturday before you stand a chance of bringing in Conte's lads! But boy! do Spurs need Conte!

I know

 

[Colin Bells Boots]

He won't go for anything less than 100m. Hence he will stay.

He probably regrets not having a decent agent who could see what a **** Levy is .

But shit happens so ...................................

 

[Beanhead]

Who do you think we will go in for mate ? I don’t think Kane has suddenly become shit but the £150 million is long gone with the fairy’s but I still would take Kane on a discount but I’d say £50 to 75 mill is ok . To get haaland to city Is a tough ask as he would have to drastically reduce his wages for us to even enter the race. The one who I’d like to get is isak thr Swedish kid who has it all and is a lot cheaper than any of the others .

Isak would be a good shout… as would this Serbian lad. I wasn’t up for Kane at the end of last season despite topping the charts for both league goals and assists as ignoring the numbers he looked as though he was showing signs of physically deteriorating. Since May he has been shocking for both club and country. Quite a lot of football has been played over that period and he’s looked physically shot and isn’t putting up the numbers. I refuse to believe it is all due to his head. Every chance he’s peaked and it’s a downward trajectory from here in. We should steer clear. Levy misread this one big time.

Totally agree he looks gone.

I think Spurs will be willing to sell this January, if Kane still wants to leave. Conte is a no-bullshit manager, if a player doesn’t want to be there, or isn’t showing interest, regardless of their clout, they’re being benched. If Kane really didn’t want to be there, he’d let him know, and Conte could probably convince Levy to sell. Levy may also be inclined to because of needing to fund Conte £100M+ for signings. He’s also saw what an out of form Kane looks like, and doesn’t want it to continue. Either something has already been agreed regarding Kane and City, hence Levy is willing is to give Conte that much, or he’s open to selling Kane and giving Conte that budget before hand? Or maybe he’s finally genuinely fearing for the club, and actually backing the manager lol.


But the question is, would we go for him? I remember Fabrizio saying a few weeks back he was still on our list, so I do think we will. It’s clear we’re struggling without a striker, and we spent the entire summer trying to go for him, if he’s available at a discount 4 months later, what’s the harm?

Yeah, his form has declined, but imo, it’s so obviously as a result of him being somewhere he doesn’t want to. Could also just be a tactical way to force a move to City because he doesn’t have the balls to hand in a proper transfer request. But who knows, maybe Conte could change his enjoyment at Tottenham. I think how he (and Spurs as a whole) plays these next 2 months will be crucial to get an indication of what’s gonna happen

And this is an unpopular opinion - but I’d take him over Haaland, solely because he’s already prem proven + is much more complete. The only thing Haaland offers over Kane is a better injury record. I get age, but with Raiola, I fear he’ll use us a stepping stone and get him out when his contract ends - similar to when Kanend.

P.S: Everyone speaking about pace, but I get the feel we’d start playing Sterling on the right much more if Kane comes. A front 3 of Sterling-Kane-Foden wouldn’t be slow at all, barring Kane

 

[skillman]

It looks like Kane has actually turned into a bad player. He hasn't had a good game against strong opposition for Spurs for years. He was poor last season, even before the transfer saga. The last thing we need at the moment is another slow striker. Our team is crying out for pace so we can break down Crystal Palace style teams. I just don't think Kane is the answer for us at this time.

Didn't he win PL golden boot and top assists?

 

[wayne71]

Yeah but apart from that he was shit.

Sterling for deJong, both players want out, and both would significantly improve their new clubs.

Out of curiosity, what do you think City did wrong?

Wasted all Summer on a player who's club only wanted to sell him on their terms which were outrageous.

Wasted all summer seeming to believe Kane had a "gentleman's" agreement that he could leave, everyone knew that was utter bull*** and Levy would never allow it.

We as a club knew we had to replace Kun up to 2 seasons prior to last summer and just like the Kompany saga , just like the LB saga we have waisted too much time.

Let's hope the conclusion turns out as well as Ruben Dias has done.

When it comes to the transfer market, we're not known for shooting from the hip.

IF his loss of form is due to him not getting his move and (I have my doubts about that looking at his England performances) then we definitely should be not going back, to me that shows appalling lack of loyalty and character.

Compare that to Bernardo, a player that apparently wanted to leave but could not but still returned from a long summer Euro's and has busted his guts for the cause!
