Problem here is that the record is not that old. Shearer set the record and three years later Kane was on the Spurs bench as a youngster. He could set the record and the next record holder is only 11/12 years away from beating it so where does the achievement sit then? It’s gone forever and he has no medal for itTweet

Football is about winning trophies as a team, not personal records. Easy for Owen to say that when he won trophies at Liverpool before his move to Real Madrid. Plus Bayern have a chance of winning the Champions League.Tweet

Because no one will remember Shearer after Kane breaks it? Just breaking the record in the first place is enough for a decent legacy. Playing devil's advocate here.Problem here is that the record is not that old. Shearer set the record and three years later Kane was on the Spurs bench as a youngster.

Eh? Bayern have won the last 11 league titles. In the prem during that time, there have been 5 different winners. How is that "no difference"?
he absolutely should goYeah won't make a blind bit of difference
Why? What has he said?A. It’s obvious he prefers us over Bayern
It might not be for him, considering he's spent his entire career dragging an average to good team. He might like the idea of spending his 30s scoring 40 a season, experiencing winning in a great city and having a couple of serious runs at the Champions League.Playing in the German league is a bit of a boring option tbf but Bayern Munich are one of the World's mega clubs. I di t bother with much German football usually due to its lack of competition (enjoyed last seasons run in and drama) but this will be interesting to see.
I'm surprised he is going to go there, really expected him to stay put this summer.
The same thing every Brazilian said when you asked them if they prefer Manchester United over Barcelona.Why? What has he said?
I’m not saying nobody will remember Shearer, he’ll be remembered without the record. Same way Kane will be remembered if he falls just short so I’m asking why is the record so important? If it’s important to hold it then it’s a blow when it’s lost. It’s too new of a record to hold any importance.Because no one will remember Shearer after Kane breaks it?

A. You know he’s only like 40 goals away from the greatest Prem goalscorer ever and we are the biggest club in England.On point A, how is it obvious that he preferred us over Bayern. Maybe I missed some credible sources in this regard but he never held out for United's bid. On point B, we are Spurs rivals whether you accept it or not for top 4 position. Stop being arrogant!
On point C, I was talking about Levy folding for selling to the rival.

Well you spent £70m on a 30-year-old Casemiro so why not?Wait people are seriously thinking we need to go and bid 100m on a 30 year old Kane? You out of your mind? That's not what a smart club who is still transitioning does. That's when you are fully developed, playing at a high and consistent level but just 1 CF away from potentially winning it all - like City were pre haaland.
Which is 30m less?Well you spent £70m on a 30-year-old Casemiro so why not?
City win the PL always and real or barca win their league always..pretty much this isn’t itCalling Bundesliga a farmer’s league without calling Bundesliga a farmer’s league. I like this Michael Owen guy.
60 with add ons. So the initial fee is £40m less. Quite a big difference.Well you spent £70m on a 30-year-old Casemiro so why not?
A. So where is it obvious he prefers us?A. You know he’s only like 40 goals away from the greatest Prem goalscorer ever and we are the biggest club in England.
B. Same as my last point. We are the biggest club in England. We have 3 rivals. Liverpool, Man City and whoever is close to challenging our status. Spurs sit in neither buckets and are not our rivals.
C. See B. We aren’t rivals.
Plus the wage package. Thats the deal breaker not so much the transfer fee.60 with add ons. So the initial fee is £40m less. Quite a big difference.
I'd personally sign him if we had the chance but I understand the concerns.
That's fair enough. I wouldn't disagree with any of that.Id have no issues with us acquiring Kane on a free (even if it hampers Hojlund initially). A free transfer would have little impact on our other transfers. I just wouldn’t want us to pay what spurs are asking for now when we’ve just spent a load on addressing that position as it is.
If Hojlund ends up having a dream debut season and finishes close to 20 prem goals (which would be great in his first season) then I’d even hesitate bringing Kane on a free. Especially if our front line is cohesive and playing well together.
It's only 16 million £ less. Bayern only paid 86 million £Which is 30m less?
Yes, and no, respectively...Two questions, realistically..
Could we afford him
And levy sell to us
could this happen ?
Two questions, realistically..
Could we afford him Probably.
And levy sell to us Not sure
could this happen ? Maybe
levy’s hands are tied though, if kane wants to go, refuses to sign a contract and United offer slightly more…Yes, and no, respectively...
No to all of your questions.Two questions, realistically..
Could we afford him
And levy sell to us
could this happen ?
Can we afford him is a difficult question. We technically could use our credit facility.Two questions, realistically..

And levy sell to us

But you need to double that for his wage package.It's only 16 million £ less. Bayern only paid 86 million £
We’ve continued to shift some huge salaries off the wage bill. We’ve spent his fee equiv already so we could defo have met the asking a month ago. It was obvious he’s moving. I’m not sure he was ever ETH’s first choice it’s looking like. Surely we still could with player sales of Maguire and Scott and Fred get the majority of what’s required….throw in a greenwood loan.Two questions, realistically..

And levy sell to us

I don't think he's talking about your deal but rather the hypothetical £100m we would have to pay at bare minimum.It's only 16 million £ less. Bayern only paid 86 million £
So you quote the Bayern fee excluding add ons and the Utd fee including add-ons?It's only 16 million £ less. Bayern only paid 86 million £
at 500k/week salary package for 4 years?We go in with a cheeky bid of 120M Euro and offer Kane higher salary?
If that’s true then no but he might take 350 to stay in the PL. 4 years max as well.at 500k/week salary package for 4 years?
