Proven in the EPL, leader and a much better player all around. I'd still go for Haaland because of his age and potential, but I get why people would choose Kane.
Haaland or Kane?

In the latest episode of the United Hour Podcast, Nik and Imran hold a long overdue conversation about United's awful league form with 1 win in 7. They discuss a disappointing draw at Bournemouth, a not so disappointing draw against Liverpool and a crushing defeat at Chelsea - Is time nearly over for Erik Ten Hag?
Then in a special second half of the pod, Nik welcomes Natalie ( https://twitter.com/natalie_17) to discuss the fortunes of Manchester United Women as they booked a place in the FA Cup Final after a historic first ever win vs. Chelsea.
With the talk around Kane and his seemingly set move to City this season, does anyone see the possibility of City getting Haaland the season after, or will it be a case of one or the other for the berties?
I don't know why, but I think they're going to get both. Which is a shame, because I was banking on City getting Haaland and us picking up Kane next season, which I think would be a better purchase for us as it would give Greenwood the space and time to develop into the long-term 9.
Alternatively, does anyone think we'll get him next season if Kane is City's only striker purchase? Other contenders would be Bayern, Barca, Real, and Chelsea I think. I think Bayern would be the ones who would push us strongest with Lewandowski likely winding down soon. Barca are flat broke. I think Real would be going for Mbappe on a free. While Chelsea would be the dark horses, and I think it would depend on who they get for that role this summer. If it's Lukaku, then I think it'll be a difficult one for them to do. We obviously have a good in with Haaland as Ole managed him and he has a good respect for Ole, as well as having a massive need for a striker.

I think we could well get one of them and definitely feels like Ole would rather wait until next summer for Haaland
Never say never. But I’m afraid it’s a bigger chance he will end up as his dad at City.
But Chelsea I think with Kante are more a counter attack teams against the best. Might suit him. If the back line stand high and give him some space. Then it’s done. You don’t give a beast of a CF space to run. Even the big muscles Uppamecano got bullied and out muscle. Not talking about Lindelof.
And Tuchel has done very well so far. With few more additions. Right and top quality. Chelsea are good enough for premier league title next season. Kante is good and important. Key factor to success.

Could totally live with that provided they aren't adding him to Kane
Most Strikers that come from abroad and are rated highly then struggle like Werner always say the physicality of EPL is hard to adjust too. That will be no problem for Haaland as he is a unit. His 20 goals in 14 games in the CL shows he will do it everywhere. I would prefer him but both are in top 5 strikers in the world. Kane would probably be better suited to us
I think City will buy both because..why not? Pep likes to rotate anyway, Aguero's gone and Jesus is not really good enough.
What I would give for Kane to still be on the market next summer when he could replace Edi but very much doubt he is
No, you don’t.
Yeah absolutely he is the perfect ST. He would be SAF’s dream. The problem with Kane is he wants to win things and soon so I think he’ll end at City
Kane will go to City this summer. Haaland to Bayern next summer, with us picking up Lewandowski to replace Cavani, provided Mason continues to develop.
City will buy both ? Are you mad. While City spend loads they haven’t been a team to spend 80m+ on a player they buy 50m players to start and backup. They will go for one and break the 100m mark but no way they do it twice. It would be a waste as whoever they bring in will start every week with Jesus being backup, no way would one of them players play backup and Pep won’t go 2 up top with the wingers he has
Well it would be another top drawer ST for him to learn from that's for sure
Spot on he be given all the help to become a top striker. Martial did incredible last season but when Cavani came in you could see how much are strikers lack with movement and all round #9 play. Greenwood has the natural finishing so he should be tailing Cavani on making space and movement as he’s levels above
Haaland to Madrid
Kane to City
Cavani to United (it's like a new signing i tell ya)

For sure! I wouldn’t be disappointed with this sequence of events.
I wondered this myself, ballpark £250m for two strikers.... I don’t see it happening
Money's no object for them now that FFP is no longer an issue.
