They must have indicated to Kane that there's a price they're able to get to, and that it'll take some action on his part to make that an acceptable figure for Spurs.
Yeah, it made no sense. He was already their biggest star and could have driven a much harder bargain and got a much better deal for himself. Levy must have laughed himself to sleep that night.
Absolutely. He was the hottest property in Europe at the time, or right up there and renews at Spurs, could have gotten a move to any top club he wanted.
He is easily worth 150m to Spurs. You have to be blinkered to think he's not. 150M to other clubs, of course not.
Are you serious here?
The problem is hes worth more to Spurs than to anyone else.
Yep, that's the problem here, Spurs hold the cards, he signed a massive contract.
It was good to get a proper look at him at the Euros. I realise it was at the end of the season but even so, I was less than convinced. Don’t get me wrong, class player and still got some years ahead and I’d love to see him wearing the red of United but you do feel his very best is behind him.
Its so difficult to tell how hes going to be in 2 years time. You might be right and hes ok, but potentially a quick decline. He really struggled playing up front for England, he didn't have the movement to make any space and his skill isn't exactly high enough to get past players consistently.
Players in PL tend to peak aged 24-28, maybe that extends a bit later for CBs. Many are still good later, but many are not. There are statistical studies looking at this. Football is a young man’s game, at least outside Serie A.
To be fair scoring penalties is probably worth £100m to City with their track record.
Typical Arsenal fan being salty about other teams’ players. Same with you lot with we signed Varane and you signed Ben White and tried to argue financials to say you got the better transfer.
I don't think it's a case of him being old, more a case of zero resale value to recoup after 5 years which has to be some kind of factor when you're paying north of £100m. The figures in excess of £150m are ridiculous in my opinion, however I think it will get done for around £130m, as the relationship between player and club seems damaged beyond repair now.

It's not just up to the club, if Kane won't resign for his new club, then they are forced to sell.
So that could happen to a player aged 22 or 30.
True City don't care. I do not understand the point you are making about his age, how is that relevant?
I was trying to say, not many £100m transfers have actually got the resale value as there is 3 options.
I don't think I agree, I think with the likes of Pogba and Lukaku resale has been important.
Pogba is either going to leave on a free or £50m.
Firstly, Mbappe will come with a wage of 500k minimum.
Well yes I've said the same thing months ago that Harry could've easily signed a new 3-4 year deal while at Spurs, they wouldn't have told him to leave and would have to accept and a club paying a big fee want a long contract. Still I think Raiola will have seen the problems with Pogba's 6 year deal and possibly go no more than 5 and include some CL qualification clause like multiple non quali. A big club with big ambitions could still go ahead thinking it won't be a problem.
Yea and I think its been a problem for United, I think its clear (or at least imo) that we are very unhappy with this.
Exactly. Either you go all out or not. Come back to training and the power is all with levy.
Hes a good passer for a striker, but one of the best passers out of all positions? I wouldn't say so.
The fanbase is spilt on this. I'd like him to leave this summer and Utd get money for him.
Shitbag!
If Kane were this smart do you think he'd have signed the contract in the first place?
