Harry Kane

[Double R]

Its the Van Persie saga all over again -yes great in the short term but after 3 years he's done with no resale value

big hit to take and then start looking again - Id like to think we are looking a bit more long term

Not sure about that, he had a great first season then 2 avarage ones before moving on. I would expect 4 great seasons from Kane taking him to 32, and they could be another 4 glorious years.
Im all for buying young players who can develop, but every now and again there is a need for a player in their prime to keep us ahead of the game for the next few years.

It is,which provides mixed emotions for me as,while he would be a superb signing,it also suggests Haaland is off the menu.

I suspect i'll get over that though....

Just a thought, what if during discussions with Haalands camp it has been made quite clear that his next move will only be for 3 or 4 years and then he will move on again, It may be that we are looking at Kane now and work with the Haaland camp that when Kane ends his time with us we then have a deal in place for Haaland just as he is getting to his prime years.

As a club we do seem to have long term plans.

Pretty certain this is only happening because Haaland wasn't possible. A shame, because he should have made it happen.

There's something very exciting about Kane, though. He's the only striker in world football who is close to Lewandowski, and he is desperate to come here and win trophies. By all accounts he's an uber professional, animal in training. Scores every type of goal, left foot, right foot, headers, penalties. He's only been playing regular football since he was 20/21, so he shouldn't burn out until a little later into his thirties, unlike a Rooney or even an Aguero, who both played week in week out from 16.

Would definitely prefer Haaland too, but I didn’t see Kane this desperate to come here, yet here we are. That means something to me.

We’ll need that hunger next season. Reminds me of Dias. LFG

The pressure he's putting on Levy is lovely to see.

Might be overplaying it?

Harry Kane: I will decide Tottenham Hotspur future, not Daniel Levy

Harry Kane has shown fighting talk ahead of his attempt to leave Tottenham Hotspur this summer by insisting his future will be ultimately decided by him and not Daniel Levy. Kane, 27, told Tottenham chairman Levy he wants to depart the club last month after another trophyless season and with Manches

Think he'll have the supporters on his side which will probably help him.

A classic case of knowing what to look for because of the caption but still...

I'm seeing "double fucking bacon butty mate."

 

[wolviedinho]

The most mind numbingly obvious transfer in the history of the Transfer Forum.

Nah what about Glauber from fc Nuremberg ;)

Similar to how the rags bought Van Persie in my eyes. £25m for a player with one year in his contract at the time who was 29 years old seemed mad but he guaranteed goals. I feel the same here tbh, Kane scores that many that he guarantees us trophies imo, doesn’t matter about asset value surely?

City group have not posted last years results. The losses could be as much as 200 million. I am sure finances and value for money does have an impact on the planning. I get that most fans think we have a bottomless pit, a 200 million investment on a 28 yr old would mean a gigantic shift in the operating manner we have seen previously.

Giving Gary Neville the interview suggests 1 thing for me

Well the financial loss would be exactly the same with investment in Haaland as well.

CFG aint making a profit any time soon, its still in its infancy.

The Spurs fans?

 

[Steed]

Can't understand people not wanting him, some people may not like him, I'm not keen, but who liked Bellamy before he signed? Who would you trust with a one on one, Sterling, Jesus or Kane? Who would you trust with a Penalty? If he remains fit (big if) guaranteed 20-30 goals per season.

You clearly feel very strongly about this topic ;-)

Bellamy? i did

 

[PhdWave]

The fact that interview happened in the first place means that Levy is still not keeping his word to let him go...Will be very difficult to get him if that is the case..

United bound. I haven’t read the pages just came on after I read Neville as mouthpiece on Twitter.

What would the independent regulator for football that Neville wants think about that conflict of interest.

That pricks one interest is clear as day and it isn’t the fans or the premier league... it’s the rags being back on top.

You think we’ll get Haaland then?

Not necessarily I think we’ll end up with a striker no doubt but I think back to Koulibaly/Kounde/Carlos merry go round and we ended up with Dias. Which turned out to be one of our finest finds.

 

[SamBlue]

If Haaland isnt available,i dont know where we turn.You suggested you do know,that's why i asked for your candidates?

You think we’ll get Haaland then?

Grealish+Martinez for that price-range, Pep is moving to the last stage of his career, from 'false nine' to 'strictly no nine'.

Same. If they had Micah doing the interview it would clearly be the opposite. I've thought Kane is bound for them lot for some time. Gary fucking Neville interviewing him just amplifies that.
