Pointless to talk about signing Kane. £100 million? Daniel Levy would probably ask for double that. Spurs always sell well, especially when United's the buyer.

Utter bullshit. Bale for example personally turned down United. Levy had already accepted identical bids from United and Madrid. As for Modric, the year he left only Real was interested. The year Levy refused to sell him to Chelsea, Levy had all the power because Modric had recently signed a 6 year contract, and wasn't even a star of the caliber to dictate to a club about his future. Even when he eventually left for Real he still wasn't in the shoes of a Bale.
Believe what you want, but the truth is that - after Berbatov - Levy set a new policy: no star players will be sold to Prem rivals. Any "acceptance" of a United bid - if indeed that ever happened - would have been purely as a negotiating tactic with RM.

This is not 100 mil. + De Gea for some 32 year old.
This is not 80 mil. for some bench warmer.
This is Harry Kane. Take him out of Spurs and place him in our team and we're guaranteed Top 4 and they're fighting it out for 5th and 6th.

I'd sell a kidney if it meant Harry Kane was in United's lineup next season, but I'll post pictures of me in a strap on and Hulk Hogan mustashe if he signed for United in the next 2 months.

Harry Kane doesn't come across as a bright lad but surely even he knows that he needs to move to bigger clubs in order to challenge for major honours.

Daniel Levy would be the biggest problem but in this day in age with player power being what it is, if Kane wanted to leave I'm sure he'd find a way to engineer that move.

Meanwhile, as you wait, Spurs income - and thus our ability to pay higher wages - continues to grow in leaps in and bounds. The new stadium will add a further large boost.
The income will grow along with the levels of debt. By the time the increase in income offsets the interest payments enough to pay the £300k a week salary required to keep Kane... He will be long retired.

He won't go this year or next year though. My prediction is Alli leaves next Summer and Kane leaves the season after.

With his (comparitavely) low wages, Jose's promise for him to be a pinaccle piece of a new look United, the new Spurs stadium, etc etc - it could be a perfect storm for us to go pounce. :drool:

Arsenal fans were once convinced that moving to a new stadium would make them a super power.. hasn't quite worked out has it?

Where the goals come from.
Can't be arsed trailing through 5 pages, so to cut to the chase... is there a single poster who either a) thinks Kane wouldn't be an awesome signing or b) believes for one second that we're getting him?

Their income rise is paying for their stadium in the first place. All their borrowed money is based on it.

Levy would look for at least £150m id say.
Pay it, it will look like a bargain next summer. People wouldn't be as shocked if United payed £89 for Pogba this transfer window with the silly figures flying around.

Ha I used to work for a bookie, there is a reason for this and it's not that they think Kane is moving. It's to increase bets.
Don't think you'd need to have worked in a bookies to work that out, sadly some people are idiots and think betting companies will basically give out free betting tips. Free money!

Breaking: A few sad bastards with more money than sense dumped a tenner on this and the bookies decided to drag the market in to both protect themselves and try to draw out other saps who want to be parted from their hard earned.

Everyone has a price yeah? How much would it even take for Levy to seriously consider negotiating the sale of Kane to us? He is literally the face of Spurs and priceless to them, can't see him go anywhere unfortunately.
How much money would we have to wave under levys nose to get him to come here and negotiate all our transfers...

Harry Kane slashed from 20/1 to just 6/1 to join

You increase bets by giving worse odds?
You increase bets by convincing gullible people that the odds moving is a by-product of an increased likelihood that the player will move, rather than a basic mathematical representation of relatively small amounts of money having been staked on it.

The money moves the line though. That's why Sky are accused of planting stories to get the ball moving.
It doesn't take much to change the odds so this really doesn't tell us anything. It tells us someone read a report this morning and placed money just in case.

Hes a good player but if im totally honest I don't think he is world class. I don't see him fitting in our team and cant imagine him wearing our kit. Is this just me??

Well, if he joined us, he'd immediately be our best attacker (assuming Ibra does not get re-signed). None of our attackers even come close to scoring the number of goals that Kane can score. I think Kane has scored more goals by himself, than all our attackers (Ibra, excepted), combined.
However, I too agree that he is not World class and I just don't see him joining us.

you only say this because you know Levy drives a hard bargain and in all likelyhood the transfer wouldn't be complete by september :lol::lol:

And in, if spurs win nothing again next season. It will be 3 seasons of playing for a side that is still failing in the trophy department while arguably be, on their day, the best team in the league. On less wages then the teams that are actually winning.

I wonder what does Angry Shearer feel in private about walker for not allowing him move to United. Or is like us all mere mortals and wonder what might of been. I'd wager he does.

I see us chelsea and city testing the water with Kane. Its only a matter of time.

Do you think that Spurs have not already received - and rejected out of hand - offers for Kane?

You wish. Real and United submitted identical bids and Bale chose Real. Not Levy. Stop living in fantasy land

Well, I have the evidence of the last 9 years to go on, whereas you have only 'reports' that both Modric and Bale freely chose to go abroad.
