That's true if we have unlimited funds.Players like him seldom last long in what sense? What are those kind of players?
Also about the part of us being ready. Well when you bring that kind of a player you slash the time of being ready by half, he makes you ready by himself.
So we buy Osimhen for absurd money and hope he'll hit the ground right away?That's true if we have unlimited funds.
We dont.
Buying him for absurd amount of money for a 2-3 years service is bad business. Since the money lost is an opportunity cost.
3 years from now we'd need to fill that gap again, with some big money we can utilize for other gaps
He's the kind of player who will last much longer than the others because his game has absolutely nothing to do with pace and he's versatile, can drop deep and spray passes around for fun.I hope we dont go paying stupid money for a 29 yo striker. Players like him seldom last long... RVP gave us 1 good year and that's it for him. I'd rather spunk the same amount of money for an established younger player like Osimhen who can last 1-2 years of transition and is still young enough when we're finally ready to mount a title challenge.
I'd say were still 2-3 years away from challenging. With Kane by the time we're ready he's already 32ish and i dont know if we can use him for 50 games a season
Eh. Omsimhen is a proven striker in his own right. We're not buying cats in a bag.So we buy Osimhen for absurd money and hope he'll hit the ground right away?
In Italy though.Eh. Omsimhen is a proven striker in his own right. We're not buying cats in a bag.
What @matherto said.Eh. Omsimhen is a proven striker in his own right. We're not buying cats in a bag.
Levy will probably send "NO" by fax before we even send an offer over.Tweet

We done the same thing with RVP, obviously for a lot less money, but if he had the same impact, a title or 2, and a few cups then the club would comfortably make that money back.That's true if we have unlimited funds.

This is what we thought last time he was signing a new contract. You never know. Kane doesn't seem to have that much ambition or he would have left Spurs years ago. Thats fine but I can 100% see him staying at Spurs his whole career.It’s up to Kane to push Levy…. Kane will go to the club of his own choice (Utd?) either this or next year and definitely will not be signing any Spurs extension contract.
With or without Kane Spurs are mid table. Levy may as well sell now and give the incoming manager money to play with.
Definitely think Kane will leave, most likely this summer.This is what we thought last time he was signing a new contract. You never know. Kane doesn't seem to have that much ambition or he would have left Spurs years ago. Thats fine but I can 100% see him staying at Spurs his whole career.
I don’t think anyone was that surprised when Kane signed a contract in 2018, when Spurs looked a consistent CL team and went on to reach the final the following season. It also appears that he tried to give himself a get out after 3 years but trusted Levy on a gentlemen’s agreement, rather than ensuring it was in his contract.This is what we thought last time he was signing a new contract.

Depends how big the drop off is from thoseThe talk earlier in the season was of two elite additions this summer, a #9 (Kane/Osimhen) and a #8 (De Jong/Bellingham). I don't think any of those four are gettable for United - I'd expect the club to move on to plan B without too much delay.
Yeah only 6 behind Haaland is incredibleOn one hand he's 30 next season and Levy will be a massive prick about it. On the other he scored 30 PL goals in that shite Spurs team.
Especially considering the hype Haaland has got all season and the vast difference between Spurs and City.Yeah only 6 behind Haaland is incredible
Yeah Kane has carried Spurs,he wouldn't need to shoulder that sort of burden hereEspecially considering the hype Haaland has got all season and the vast difference between Spurs and City.
He also scores various types of goals, which suggests he would fit into a different system.On one hand he's 30 next season and Levy will be a massive prick about it. On the other he scored 30 PL goals in that shite Spurs team.
I don't know about that. I reckon the opportunity to become the all time PL goalscorer is a big reason he'd want to stay in the league. And would probably value a PL medal far more than a La Liga medal.Madrid seeming most likely for him at the moment, if he leaves at all that is.
Don't see him coming to United, which is a shame.
Oh yeah Levy would sell him there in a shotI don't know about that. I reckon the opportunity to become the all time PL goalscorer is a big reason he'd want to stay in the league. And would probably value a PL medal far more than a La Liga medal.
Spurs and Levy would obviously much prefer to sell to Madrid, though.
He also doesn't fit in at all with Madrid's policy of late which has been to sign young.Oh yeah Levy would sell him there in a shot
Fair point, will be down to him. When Madrid come calling it can be a hard one to turn down though. He may bridge the gap well between Benzema and Endrick.I don't know about that.

Madrid just signed a 33 year old striker on loan from Espanyol.He also doesn't fit in at all with Madrid's policy of late which has been to sign young.
Hazard was the last player they spent big on over the age of like 25 and look how that turned out.
Yeah definitely has that flexibility but still to see evidence he wants the move badly enoughHe also scores various types of goals, which suggests he would fit into a different system.
Yeah, i'd be fine with this strategy overall, but we'd still need to loan in a striker (Iheanacho say) or sign a cheaper option from a smaller league and hope he overperforms like Chicharito did. Or Zaha on a free for one season or something funky like that.What's the general consensus on this scenario:
Levy refuses to sell Kane for anything besides an astronomical price. Kane decides to run the deal down until Summer 2024. United dont get a new striker this summer and takes that budgeted money and invests in other areas of weakness (#8, GK, depth in defence, etc.) and gets Kane on a free this time next year.
I've thought Ihenacho might be an okay option for a back up, but he's under contract til 2024 so I would imagine Leicester would sell him rather than loan.Yeah, i'd be fine with this strategy overall, but we'd still need to loan in a striker (Iheanacho say) or sign a cheaper option from a smaller league and hope he overperforms like Chicharito did.

Spending big on 2 midfielders (#8 and Casemiro backup), Raya and Pavard would give us a stronger team, but Martial is still hurt too often for us not to bring in some sort of striker option, even if it's a weird one like Thomas Muller for a year as a false 9 or something.
We'd need something that might conceivably bridge the gap for a year.

Yeah does seem to have gone quiet about him.Need to get Osimhen price down then but that looks an impossible ask UNLESS he pushes for the move of course
Not enough for my likingHas it been mentioned that Levy is a twatwaffle?
