Inter still owe us about £70m for the Lukaku deal so they might have to sell this summer, or a couple of players at least
Harry Kane | "I will be staying at Tottenham this summer and will be 100% focused on helping the team achieve success."

In the latest episode of the United Hour Podcast, Nik and Imran hold a long overdue conversation about United's awful league form with 1 win in 7. They discuss a disappointing draw at Bournemouth, a not so disappointing draw against Liverpool and a crushing defeat at Chelsea - Is time nearly over for Erik Ten Hag?
Then in a special second half of the pod, Nik welcomes Natalie ( https://twitter.com/natalie_17) to discuss the fortunes of Manchester United Women as they booked a place in the FA Cup Final after a historic first ever win vs. Chelsea.
@Castia Why the feck would Lukaku accept playing for Spurs?
That can’t be true. He’s been there 2 years - that’s the vast majority of the transfer fee.
It isn't, that gossip got debunked last season.
Much likelier he goes back to Chelsea than Spurs.
Zero clue what would draw him to Spurs coming off a title season when Chelsea can offer more wages + CL footy and potential trophies.
good point tbf
Yep thats what I fear, it is looking likely, I'd say its a 60/40 split with City fans I dont think most want Kane
Do you still think Kane alone fixes us?
Yes for this season league’s problem. Why are you replying the post by ignoring my questions?
I just cant look beyond City for him. If he wants trophies, theyre the best option.
Then again, I could just as likely see him stay another year

Will have to go on strike pretty much to get a move?

The question is how desperate is Kane to actually win trophies in his club career?

Berbatov all over again.
Lukaku to Spurs for the Expressions Oozing banter
Oh god I don't know how anyone can watch him longer than 30 seconds without getting a headache. He's a bit of a clown and that's relatively speaking too compared to his peers. Which is saying something!Lukaku to Spurs for the Expressions Oozing banter
I'm sorry but he's one of the wittiest guys out there. His reference game is second to none but if you're miserable and prefer an old man in a smoking jacket then he's not for you.
I don't like either? Nothing he says is funny he just exaggerates on everything and draws silly childish metaphors that make little sense. The closest witty, yet accurate parallels I find are occasionally from Goldbridge when he says things like "United are when you drive a car without a satnav. You know you're in A going to B but no idea how to get there, so you make it up as you go along". Or "he can't carry a paper bag up the pitch let alone a ball".
Expressions is just smokes and mirrors with wrestling or game of thrones puns that aren't remotely funny.
Not saying I like Goldbridge but he's a lot more palatable. Each to their own, though.
how have Everton lost more than anyone else, and to the tune of £140m!
he’s right, Kane has very little leverage. It sure as hell won’t happen for a couple of months, it really does depend on how far he’s prepared to go.
If Kane wants to win titles and trophies, then City, maybe Chelsea and one or two top European sides, would be his obvious route.
As much as I’d like him to join us, I think Utd would be a gamble for him.
I have to wonder if he’s the sort of player Pep would want though.
Pep has always preferred either a fox in the box, predator type of player, or used the false 9 strategy to great effect.
Why change the whole dynamic of his team set-up and playing style, to accommodate a traditional type of CF?

If Harry went to Chelsea it would be close to the Campbell act of treachery.
Kane drops deep a lot these days to excellent effect and is a great passer and linker upper. He’d be world class.
That's totally true, but City have an abundance of great passing, linking and creative players.
They don't lack for goals either.
It's in those games where Pep prefers to include an out and out striker, instead of the false 9, where he needs an Aguero replacement.
There aren't many of those around at the top level and I don't see Kane in that mould.
I might be totally wrong and Pep sees Kane fitting a specific role.

Thanks for the comprehensive reply! I guess the way I see it he prefers Jesus to Aguero I’d argue who isn’t a proper number 9 by any means and now he has the striker with the most goals and assists this season as the player to fulfil that role.
Personally i reckon City will try to get Joao Felix from Atletico rather than Kane. Felix wants to leave apparently, him and Simeone have been butting heads. He's suit city more than kane would.
He said the following to Movistar after winning the league title with Atlético:
I'm not aware of any problems between him and the club. The Spanish media outlets haven't been reporting anything of the sort, either.
Kane will stay at spurs. Nobody will pay the money required.
Kane must have some sort of knowledge of the interest out there for him to come out and officially declare his wish to move.
He wouldn't risk his Tottenham legacy for nothing.
What was his relationship with Poch at the time of sacking? Was he supportive or was he one of those that "downed tools"?
Will be interesting to see how long this drags on if Poch does end up going back to Spurs.

Surely a fox in the box and a false 9 are two totally different approaches?
Let's hope he stays and doesn't join the plastics
I think Kane to City will be more likely to happen now they have lost the CL final. They were very close this season and I think they may decide to spend big on one player to take the extra step.
They're going to blow everybody else out of the water after that result. I could see two or three big name signings.
Well that's that sealed then isn't it.
True. I should have said spend bigger on one player than ever before.

Was thinking the same thing and completely agree with this. Feels even more inevitable now that Ageuro is leaving and they need his replacement.
100% he's at spurs next year like Haaland is at Dortmund.
Aint nobody paying 150 million for kane and nobody will jump this year at Haaland while he has a buyout clause next year for half if not 2/3 price of what they'd ask for this season.

City signing/not signing Kane will have nothing to do with winning/not winning the CL. People look for these weird correlations all the time.
So if City had won tonight they would have gone "'Nah, don't need Kane now".
