Benzema is 35 and has been great up until recently. Zlatan is 41 and he played well past the mythical 30 and played in good form, Rooney was notorious for his out of footbally life and RVP's career was riddled with injuries.
Most do though, a few buck the trend but soon start to decline. 'Soon' could be a year or 2, for a few, maybe more for an even more select few but it happens.
If he really wants trophies though, they're the surer bet
@Real Name I think Bayern managed high pressing though with Lewa (can't say I watched them too much so can't say for sure), so who knows?
It would mean absolutely nothing though, they’ve won what 11 on the bounce?
Why would Kane, who is only a few years away from becoming the premier leagues all time top goal scorer give that incredible legacy up to play in Germany to have the best shot at a CL title? He will win a German title for sure at a club that won the league 10 in a row. It doesn't make sense to me.
MMmm going to a top 2 club in Europe going by the last 10+ years or ever, club that sells more shirts than any other club and will clearly be a top betting favorite with him in the fold for the Champions League which is THE title footballers actually care the most about is going to be the worst decision? You are living in a weird Premier League bubble I think.
Nah he already made that when he signed that silly deal with Spurs last time. The worst decision he could make now would be to sign a new contract with them.
I think he'd work well in ETH system. And if we can give us 2, 3 years it would be 3 years with a world class striker upfront.
I'm not sure this holds up at all. Kane is just about to turn 30.
Agree at least three imo. Once he turns 33 it's kinda hard to be sure. But given his lifestyle and being a top pro there's a big chance that he would have 2/3 years left after that imo.
I really do think Kane has an interest in Shearer's record.
We'll give 85m for Antony but 100 is where we draw the line. A clubs got to have principles.
He surely will be best paid player at Utd. Haaland allegedly earning around 40 million, Neymar 30 million, Lewandowski 30 million, the likes of Debruyne, Muller around 20 million.
I think we will pounce once a deal is agreed with Bayern, we will know Levy's acceptable number, we can then bid X +20-30% on top and see if he takes that. If not, no worries but at least we tried.
What if Kane refuses to go abroad. Kane admits he is dreaming about breaking Shearers all-time Premier League goals record. This situation is all of Daniel Levy's own making as he could have sold him for a substantial fee last time around, but like Mbappe at PSG, Kane can sign a pre-contract with any club from January 1st 2024, and there is nothing Chairman Levy can do about it. There's NO way Levy and Lewis would give away an 100mil asset for free next year. If United hit 100m Spurs have to snap their hands off. Whatever road Spurs take he's joining the club of his choice now or leaving for nothing in 12 months.
No, it would be for Atlanta/player to see the risks of delaying this too much lest United go somewhere else. So negotiate more earnestly.

There it is again.
The Premier League started in 1992. I don’t know when these other leagues records have stood for. But from my existence I haven’t seen anyone in Serie A score so many goals and in La Liga if we exclude CR7 & Messi the same stands.
I don’t understand this perspective. We have top quality everywhere except RB and CF. Kane would get us in a position to challenge. Depth is a little weak in some positions, I’ll give you that, but still, we can get very close if we get a productive striker.
A world class striker that United need so badly.
Yeah, let’s pay €120m for a 30 year old with a year left on his deal.
Erm it’s not a joke, because it’s the Premier League - the toughest and most watched league in world football. Not some farmers league like the Bundesliga.
I was joking mate.
The signing of Kane will financially hamstring United's ability to finance future transfers, just like De Gea did. We have to have a long term plan and slowly build up our team. We won't become League champions the next two years and then Kane is already 32 years old on astronomical wages. Why the hurry?
If the sums were reasonable then maybe but if the money he is reported to be looking for is correct, around 500k then it's far, far too much. It would destroy the dressing room spirit that ETH has worked to rebuild. That might have been slightly less insane if clubs were not being asked to pay around 100m for a 30-year-old on top of that.
Tell that to Bayern fans, or Germans. That winning Bundesliga means nothing.
