Surely Harry Kane would be our perfect striker right now.. An immediate force who will make us challenge for the title and would massively improve our security for a top 4 spot... With all that CL money coming in somewhere next season or the one after we can sign a younger striker to grow behind him, like Hojlund..

Hojlund might be one of the best young available strikers around and therefore be a good buy/investment, but surely Harry Kane is what we would need most right now..

Casemiro Bruno Mount
Antony Kane Rashford

With Garnacho, Martial, Diallo, Sancho, Eriksen, Fred, Mainoo (and preferably a young CDM behind Casemiro).. Would be awesome..
We would definitely make top 4 with kane, no hesitation which in itself almost pays off the transfer let alone the fact that we could even see us challenging for either of the league title or even the champions league with a prolific striker like kane

I think he could last longer than that, he doesn't rely in pace and strikes me as a real pro that looks after his physical fitness and will carry on like Ibrahimovic and Lewandowski, plus I can see can dropping deeper and playing as a 10 or even a midfielder in his mid to late 30's
See that's exactly why I hope he decides to reject the Bayern move and wait for us next summer

Isn't the expectation that we're looking to drop like 70m EUR on Hojlund and another 30m EUR on Amrabat? Take that figure to Levy and make him say no. Or maybe he already did.

I think he's said not for sale, period. Maybe if we offered €150m (130M pounds), he'd think about it.

The issue with that is Utd currently have CL and are one of the few teams who can offer a huge transfer fee.

Next Summer Kane will be completely FREE. Free to go wherever he wants and will cost that club NOTHING.

There’s also a very real possibility (imo) that Utd don’t have CL football to offer him next Summer.

People seem to think that CL is guaranteed next season - it really isn’t. Without it, there’s literally no chance Kane chooses Utd.

Judging from our play this year & the improvements we have made in Onana (who will make EtH ball easier) I think we’ll definitely make UCL again

It’s top 5 now isn’t it, but it’ll still be a lot harder than last season.

Last season was anomalous in how bad Liverpool and Chelsea were, both will be right back at it imo.

I agree Onana is a great signing, but I’m currently not sold on Hoijlund (compare him to the rest of the big 6’s strikers).

Fair enough if you feel confident, but to say Utd will ‘definitely’ get Top 5 is jumping the gun.

Yeah that's why I wish we could get him now

What does resale value even mean? If Harry scores 25-30 goals over the next 3-4 seasons why is resale value an issue? His price is a guarantee of what he can do. For example players like Martial, Sancho, Maguire etc we’re all high ticket purchases who have so far failed to live up to that and if you were to sell you would be making a loss.
That's what I've been trying to get across. A striker who scores 25 goals per season for the next 3 years (I doubt he'll do that when he's 34 though), and then be "possibly" released on a free to play for Miami won't be valued at 150m.

A 150m player is someone who scores 30 goals per season for 4 years and still have the potential to be sold for at least 75m. That's how football business works. No one in their right senses will buy Kane for 150m when he's 30 years, not even an oil prince when high on booze.

100m is the maximum for him in today's inflated market and even that is stretching it a little too much.

I thought Levy might hold onto Kane if he could convince himself - even against all evidence - that he might sign a new deal if things went well at Spurs under Postecoglou. But the Kane Brothers are clearly briefing this story to the media and if they're being this clear with Levy as well then I think he'll sell, after extracting every last penny from Bayern and dragging the process out for weeks to message to supporters that he did everything possible to resist the deal and eventually get the best price.

This seems like an often repeated caf myth to me. 30 isn't a magic number where players' bodies start breaking down and given the ever-quickening advanced in sports science, athletes that live right tend to be able to keep themselves running for longer. Kane never relied on pace and his injury record isn't bad, so I'd be amazed if he was done in two years.
That is related to playing style and type of player - maybe depending on the style in the league, too.

I listened to a podcast of goalimpact lately that made a comparison according to their data. Players tend to age later today than 15 years before - but wingers age faster.

At the end I see it like this - players even strikers, that depend on their speed or acceleration most - especially in teams where they need that - will have problems starting the 30s. Others were instinct, experience etc. are a huge factor might even get better or with that abilities will equal out the loss they have with less speed.

In a ball possession team like Bayern Kane will have no problem with that. Atleast not in nearer future. Problem only might be injuries or injury problems that come often with age.

I think he could last longer than that, he doesn't rely in pace and strikes me as a real pro that looks after his physical fitness and will carry on like Ibrahimovic and Lewandowski, plus I can see can dropping deeper and playing as a 10 or even a midfielder in his mid to late 30's
Question is if he really wants to do that. Not every player wants to extend their career that far.

Bayern makes the most sense. Levy doesn't sell to a rival and Kane gets the best available chance for silverware. Records get broken, but no one can take away your titles and medals. Good move for him.

Is it really that mad? 5+ years ago then sure 100 mil can do some things but now that gets you what? Kai Havertz and a packet of crisps. I’d rather just keep him and see him walk into the sunset in all honesty.
But he wants to leave? Why keep a player who has tried to leave twice now in recent years. For the sake of a season? Doesn’t make sense really

I‘m not really sure what part of ‘he’s not for sale to Manchester United’ people don’t understand.

We can offer £1b, he isn’t coming. Let it go.

Its still in Kanes hands though. If he really wanted to come to United he could hand in a transfer request and say United or nothing. Ill wait till next year if I have to. Like Mbappe is doing. Whats Levy going to do then? Nothing. He will sell to United because he has no choice.

He can go anywhere though, Haaland might be off to Madrid by then also, he’ll have is pick. We’d have to win something major this year to be in with a shout.

Hard to say. Arsenal could have been a flash in the pan as could Newcastle although I do think they are both good, especially Newcastle. Chelsea haven't really improved and I am not sure that adding Pochettino is going to be some masterstroke. Liverpool is rebuilding their midfield so while I would expect them to do better its a crapshoot, McAllister is a good signing but we will see how the other guy (not even going to attempt to spell his name) adapts to the league. Tottenham are still woeful in my opinion. In regards to signing Kane though, while I think we are in with a good chance if he leaves on a free, I am not so sure we will be in for him. If we sign Hojlund and he does well, and with (presumably) MG coming back it may not make sense to go big for Kane in a years time. That's his whole dilemma this summer in my opinion. Most top teams will have a top striker this time next year so it seems now or never.

Next year freebie only. Imagine the uproar if we announce in January that we signed Harry Kane on a 4 year deal in the summer of '2024 and he then wins the league with us.. Oh mate the look on the Tottenham faces will be priceless... It'd be such a beautiful deterrent for young players joining Tottenham :wenger::D

That's not exactly what I'm saying. It only pertains to a move to a PL team. I'm more than happy to see him go to Bayern.

Bayern Munich. How weird. He's such a high profile player in England and aint won shit. Tarnishes his legacy in my opinion. Should have gone to United.

He won't though. He hasn't and he never will. Do you think Harry thinks United is a better proposition than City was? Be real.

This is the thing it feels like so many on this forum struggle with.

Levy won't sell to a PL team and Harry won't hand in a transfer request. It's that black and white and simple.

Priorities change , as simple as that. You can stay at Spurs and get rotten or move to a better club . City isn't feasible now but if United have a spot and they are on the rise, then why not ?

Accept it mate, Kane has pretty much ruined his career (trophy wise) by committing to Spurs. He is probably better than Lewa from a talent wise but look at them now. It's not even a discussion. So whatever he had 2 years back isn't what he has now. Things change

I seen to be in the minority but i really don't want Kane at United and it just makes no sense to pursue the deal.

I hope he does go to Bayern as he doesn't deserve to be the all time premiership top scorer either.

If he breaks the record all we will hear is how he is the greatest forward in the history of the premiership and it's clearly not true.

Shearer and Henry are streets ahead of him in that regard and i would even put Rooney above him too

Unsure why people are still talking about Kane, thought it was pretty clear we moved on from this/Tottenham won't sell to us.

I don't think we would have walked away so publicly if money wasn't an obstacle. Kane was very obviously Ten Hag's first choice, and I think if Levy would have sold for 80-90mil, we would have done it.

Do you know that by the way Erik has shown absolutely zero interest in him?

I still have a feeling he will sign for us. I just can’t see him giving up the chance of the PL record to go to Germany. I’ll be amazed in fact.
We’d be serious contenders if we got him too.
