Yeah, can definitely see that. Two massive holes that will need filling next year.Hopefully we have enough as I feel next year we will be going big for Rice too. We should have some sales though.

Spurs will be pushing for a huge transfer fee for a guy whose contract is ending next year. Guaranteed it will be 80+ mill at least, a huge chunk of the apparent transfer budget for a guy who is 29 next month.This time next year, Kane will only have a year left on his contract. He will be nearly turning 30, but for a reasonable fee it may represent decent value. Obviously it would be dependent on us having a good season and Spurs less so.
£80m+ would indeed be ridiculous. I would like to think if he made it clear that he would not be signing a new deal, then £50-60m for a 30 year old Kane would be acceptable.Spurs will be pushing for a huge transfer fee for a guy whose contract is ending next year.

Mane, arguably the best player in the PL, left Pool for £30m, no one will touch Kane for more than £35-40m next year.£80m+ would indeed be ridiculous. I would like to think if he made it clear that he would not be signing a new deal, then £50-60m for a 30 year old Kane would be acceptable.
For £35-40m he would be a terrific signing for us.Mane, arguably the best player in the PL, left Pool for £30m, no one will touch Kane for more than £35-40m next year.
I think Kane is actually underrated given his performances at Spurs over a long period now. He can play as a 9 and a 10, scores loads of goals, holds the ball up, can play key passes and link up well. It's no coincidence City were prepared to pay £100m for him, unfortunately Levy priced him out of a move but if he was available this season or next for under £60-70m then a number of clubs would be banging down the door to sign him!For £35-40m he would be a terrific signing for us.
Agreed. All hypothetical, but if for whatever reason Spurs have a disappointing season next year and we outperform them, then Kane with a year left on his deal would be a great option. What is certain is that we will definitely be in the market for a big name striker.I think Kane is actually underrated given his performances at Spurs over a long period now.

Are you from the future? If not, you obviously don’t know how we will play under Erik.He’s class but would not work as a sole striker. Kaka (who was more talented than him) was a similar player and needed to play off someone as well. Would’ve worked at pool, would do well at Madrid too. Very good player but with the players we have he wouldn’t fit in.
I don’t think it’s a requirement, he can play on the middle of a three, but that three needs to be made up of the right type of players. Son and Sterling either side, or Salah and Mané for example would suit him very well.He’s class but would not work as a sole striker.

Don’t need to be from the future to know that he’s not going to play Ronaldo, Sancho, Bruno, Eriksen, VdB and Felix all in one team. Its called common sense.I don’t think it’s a requirement, he can play on the middle of a three, but that three needs to be made up of the right type of players.

I think of he was here we would need Rashford in form and playing regularly from the left. And I also expect him to improve his own goal output too. Even then, some numbers are a bit misleading. Almost all of the best goalscorers in the game get there with about 30% of goals from the spot anyway. You add 6 or 7 penalties to Felix a season and the upturn he needs isn’t that much for a 22 year old with his ability.
I don’t see why he cannot do what the likes of Firmino and De Bruyne/Gundogan have done for their teams personally. He does drop deep but he also has striking instinct. More often than not, as soon as he lays it off he’s sprinting towards the box. Of course, he won’t be an old-fashioned 9, but I think he can be a new-fashion one.Don’t need to be from the future to know that he’s not going to play Ronaldo, Sancho, Bruno, Eriksen, VdB and Felix all in one team.

Those are fair points but I still don’t think he can lead the line on his own in a team that wants to win the biggest trophies. To maximize his potential he’s better off playing behind a #9.
ffsThanks for sharing. Nice of them to take him to Wetherspoons!
Looks like someone told him to at least try and look enthused here.Looks thrilled.
Helps with a transfer fee for Atletico tooI’d be interested to know why he chose to also extend with Atletico. Has he been given ensurance that Simeone is leaving?
There is something about that curtainLooks like someone told him to at least try and look enthused here.
Discussed in another thread yesterday but basically Atletico's finances are bad and the extension helps them lower Felix' amortisation cost by spreading the remaining book value one year further down the line. Doing so will reduce costs by around €4M for the current financial year which helps them with Spanish FFP when getting a replacement in for Felix.I’d be interested to know why he chose to also extend with Atletico.

I'm sure he's thrilled. Chelsea's one of the biggest clubs in the world, he'll get his full salary and anything better than staying at Atlético.Looks like someone told him to at least try and look enthused here.
Has he signed yet? Todd might be trolling you.Bet they are crying about missing out on Weghorts.
