They're 34 and 35 though. Kane is slower than them both at 29. That is a big worry.So's Lewandowski. So's Benzema. It's fashionable to be a worldclass CF without pace in the modern game.

Lewandowski is not slow at all. He is rapid. Always been so. Definitely not "without pace".So's Lewandowski. So's Benzema. It's fashionable to be a worldclass CF without pace in the modern game.

What makes you so confidentWe’ll sign him and we’ll win the league next year. Hell also break Shearers record.
Aside from psg I don't think there's anyone that could afford him aside from pl clubs.I almost wish Osimhen would go to another league for few years then get him at 27/28 after Kane has been here for 3/4 years

If that price tag is even remotely close to true we should be staying a bazillion miles away from him.Even with 12 months remaining on his deal at the end of the season and the threat of him eventually leaving on a free transfer, it is still believed Levy will demand £100 million for Kane from any English club this year, with the price likely to be lower for overseas clubs interested in him.
That's called negotiating.The Telegraph say Levy will still be demanding 100m for Kane this summer from any interested English clubs despite the fact his contract runs out in 2024.
If that's the case then forget it, I'd love to have Kane here but 100m would be ridiculous. Levy will once again be pricing Kane out of a move and he's going to be stuck there again.
Why not? What's your opinion based? I'd say we're comfortably the most likely destination in this country if he leaves.I think he will end up at Chelsea. Just can't see him playing for us at all.
Issue with that is there's only 2 top PL teams who want a striker - Chelsea (who will be getting Nkuku) and Man UTD (who are very desperate for a #9).That's called negotiating.
He's hardly going to come out and say "Yeah I'll probably sell him for 60m towards the end of the window when I panic about him leaving for free the following year".
There's no chance Kane will sign for Chelsea, Spurs fan would never forgive him. Its either United or go overseas.I think he will end up at Chelsea. Just can't see him playing for us at all.
It's exactly that, my view is I'd only be happy with Kane if we had middle east investment, age doesn't come into play then as replacing him wouldn't really ever be an issue.There's no chance Kane will sign for Chelsea, Spurs fan would never forgive him. Its either United or go overseas.
Yes but Levy has form for this.That's called negotiating.

This is what people miss. Levy isn't a great business mind, he's an egomaniacal idiot. He would prefer to get £100m for Kane than see Spurs win the CL because he loves his reputation as a "tough negotiator", even though as you've pointed out it is frequently to the detriment of his team.Yes but Levy has form for this.
Anyone else yes you'd assume they were bluffing but Levy has done similar in the past. He dragged out the Berbatov sale to Utd for as long as possible meaning when he was finally sold they had no time left to get a replacement and it fecked them over. Could easily see him pricing Kane out of a move and then he goes for a cut price deal in the January or for free the summer after.
It feels like most Spurs fans are resigned to Kane going, and they'd definitely rather Kane came to Utd than Chelsea so I do still think there's a decent chance he's here next season.
Yeah exactly.This is what people miss. Levy isn't a great business mind, he's an egomaniacal idiot.

I wouldn't be shocked if he prices Kane out of a move in the summer and then pretends that Kane is betraying Spurs when he moves on a free in summer 2024.
He totally doesn't fit the Ten Hag style. Not sure why people don't get this. We've just spent months whinging Ronaldo wasn't mobile, pressing, fast enough, but then we keep on about Kane, who isn't any of those things either?Tweet

It'd surely be wiser to go for the hungry up and coming to peak soon type player, then the high priced limited appeal player.With all the Weghorst pressing hype, Martial being one his pressing players at the weekend and ETH wanting the correct players I was just thinking the possibility that Kane might not be at the top of his list. I'm sure if other targets aren't possible he will be strongly considered. Both players seem really difficult to get with Levy and Laurentiis.
Kane is a far more intelligent player who can bring others into play and isn't reliant on speed to be a good player. He's scored goals for years without ever being particularly quick.He totally doesn't fit the Ten Hag style. Not sure why people don't get this. We've just spent months whinging Ronaldo wasn't mobile, pressing, fast enough, but then we keep on about Kane, who isn't any of those things either?
What would you consider a deep run in CLOsimhen is great. If Napoli wins Serie A and gets a deeeep run in CL, then I feel his job is done in Italy and can move further. Well, the price.... that will be massive. He was bought for around 70 mil, so after a successful campaign his price will be around 120.
Osimhen is the more longer term option who fits our system better but then Kane has proven himself in this league alreadyOsimhen for £110-120m or Kane for £70-80m? Take your pick.
It's an odd one. When you think half our first team signings came from the Eredivise and one was a free transfer from Brentford, you must think we are looking for specific profiles with transfers. Kane doesn't really have the profile (bar the amount of goal in the prem he's scored) of any of the others strikers we're linked with.He totally doesn't fit the Ten Hag style.

Aside from the potential for longer service, one of the benefits of opting for a younger player is the greater future sell-on fee potential, whether they work out or not. So even with that price point comparison you have to factor in that the money spent on Kane is more likely to be "dead" money.Osimhen for £110-120m or Kane for £70-80m? Take your pick.
Yeah that extra £30m spent on him could be made back if he ends up being sold on to a Barca/Real not so much BayernAside from the potential for longer service, one of the benefits of opting for a younger player is the greater future sell-on fee potential, whether they work out or not.

For Napoli, it's semis. Best has been R16.What would you consider a deep run in CL
I am still edging towards Osimhen if we can affordKane would suit Rashford and (probably) Anthony more, plus adding more creativity. But Osimhem would give us more goals as another outlet for Bruno and Eriksen, and just more dynamic and much younger (more potential to develop). Although Osimhem has risk of taking more time to adapt to PL, or if he ever adapt.
Tough choice.
You get the feeling we're a lot smarter with signings now.It's an odd one. When you think half our first team signings came from the Eredivise and one was a free transfer from Brentford, you must think we are looking for specific profiles with transfers. Kane doesn't really have the profile (bar the amount of goal in the prem he's scored) of any of the others strikers we're linked with.
So you don't think Luke Shaw is experienced quality?We have experienced quality in GK, CB, CDM, CM, and CAM.
Where we don’t is at fullback & in the wing where we arguably full with players in their prime or are young.
The only place we have no one of experienced is Striker if we look at Wout Weghorst as a loan striker only.
knew we should have hired PochTweet

This is insane. He’s the leagues second highest scorer and currently having one of the best goal scoring campaigns of his entire career.I'd put money right now that weghorst scores more goals for the rest of the season even in a bit part role than kane.
