More likely to buy him for £120m and sell them a player for £40m.
Basically what you said but I believe this way works better for accounting purposes. Similar to the Cancelo-Danilo deal.

Wow, what a shift in the poll since this morning. There had been a consistent “no” majority for the last few weeks.
Not complaining though, as more and more I’m thinking this will happen, so good to see us getting behind the transfer. I was somewhat keen before, but I’ll admit, events of the last day or so have got me so much more excited and I think he’d bag lots of goals in our team.
Sense some piss boiling too, and wonder how conflicted the media will feel - their media darling ‘Arry playing for us

Is this Mr Banks as in Mary Poppins' employer?

I know some members are petty, but I don’t think there are enough of them to swing a poll like this ;) It’s the “he might be one of us” factor

50 million plus Mendy, Garcia (against his will if necessary) and Hugh Ferris.

Think spurs would insist on 60 million if they had to take Hugh Ferris too

Wow I'm shocked at the poll, who wouldn't want Harry Kane? Imagine what he would do in our team.

I wouldn’t exactly be protesting outside the ground if we signed him but I’d rather have Haaland and simply don’t like the bloke.

Saying I don't want him is a bit misleading. I wouldn't be unhappy with him signing at all I just don't think we have the need for him given his age, glass ankles, price tag and what else is available in the market.
I'm not convinced he suit us. At spurs he's the centre of everything, everybody else is his support act, he goes where he wants and shoots on sight. He wouldn't get any of that here, we won't change into the Harry Kane team, he would have to adapt to us. in our systems, the striker sees relatively little of the ball compared to the rest of the team and considering how much time we spend in the opponents final third.
They spend most of the time occupying space and players in order for the team to methodically create openings, Kane is a goal scorer and used to being the main man, he's going to do what he does at spurs and England and come short looking for the ball to get involved which will ultimately just get in the way of better players in those areas here.
Obviously he will learn just like any other player under Pep but that's going to take time. The main appeal with Kane is that he's already the finished article, that's whats going to add tens of millions to his price tag and it would be worth it anywhere else but he won't be the Pep finished article and by time he is, he will be approaching 30.
Can't help but think if we want Kane, you go out and probably spend less, but certainly not more on Haaland instead who has a higher ceiling, is 20 and gives Pep the opportunity to mould him into anything he wants for the next decade.
I think Kane would be lethal at Chelsea, he would suit them best and they would suit him best but thankfully for us, that move seems like an impossibility.
