No doubt but as it stands they're still not an oil club.
You have to wonder how much of it is their fans and how much levy simply being a piss poor squad builder and being an arrogant bastard who can't admit defeat, one needs to look no further than how they've spent their cash in these past few years.
I don't know, for starters history notwithstanding they actually won a cup or two during that period.
I think he has too much repect for Spurs to do that, and they're hardly the most appealing option nowadays anyway.
You could argue that he is actually the most ambitious player of all time if he thinks he can win silverware with Spurs…
The word is deluded.

That is how I would describe your post. I mean youre deluded and a lot of others are deluded by assuming that someones ambition is the same as anothers i.e. win as many trophies as possible. Perhaps just perhaps Kanes ambition was always to win with Spurs which would have meant more than winning a trophy with a club he has no affinity to.

Hardly a bad thing as he could have moved into more of a midfield role later in career
It’s the classic “he’s shite, I didn’t want him anyway” line.
Stinks of briefs.
Sooner he goes to Bayern the better,clearly he's not prepared to wait for more optionsIt’s the classic “he’s shite, I didn’t want him anyway” line.
Like a dude who didn’t get the girl. „I didn’t want her anyway. Her ankles are all chubby and her neck is strange.“
The PR team jump the shark.
Why bother doing this as it's only gonna make our fans more frustrated
The PR team jump the shark.
People believe garbage mate.
I do believe he offers more in terms of an all around game but obviously Kane's goalscoring and playmaking is exceptional
I'm talking in terms of the pressing and running in behind to get on the end of things,obviously all areas need working on but Erik and Benni's coaching will help with that
How do we know mitten isn't peddling fluff to get clicks anyway.
I mean, spending 100m and 300k/w + on a 30 year old is *almost never good business. That's not to say he won't keep it up for another 3-5 years, there are just more sensible moves out there and there's no way to know how it'll turn out, and it happens far more often that those older big money signings don't end up worth it. Kane would be better for the immediate few years of course, but Hojlund is a potential elite CF who can hold the position down long term, which is what they are clearly looking at. We already have a good chunk of key players that will need replacing in 2-3 years. Bruno, Casemiro, Varane...it's not unreasonable to think going for the younger guy who might grow into an elite player is just the better transfer to make rather than going all out for success in the next 2 years and be left with a huge mess to deal with in 2025.
That's actually a sensible way of looking at things,the trouble is by the time he's hitting top form we will need to replace those three
Hojlund may succeed or fail that's the separate thing but the arguments against Kane's signing which Mitten has alluded to were already discussed and raised by several posters Including me here , so it's not that far fetched to think that Some at United's might have had same reservations and came to similar conclusion.
I agree.
Depends what he wanted doesn't it,sounds like initially it was finished article in Kane. He was then obviously made aware of what a nightmare Levy is to deal with, therefore made the right call to switch to more of a potential talent in Hojlund. Clearly he didn't want a scenario where he ended up with no one for second summer running.
See I am not saying ETH prefers Hojland over Kane But just pointing out that some did have reservations about Suitability of Kane for United for various reasons . Just to answer your Question Ten Hag is Ultimate Pragmatist I believe he would have definitely gone for Kane and would have tweaked his system and made it work .
There is a price & wages point at which the potential guy makes more sense than the already elite guy. No idea if it was a case of we just aren't able to do Kane vs we chose to go for Hojlund over Kane at the prices mentioned.
isn't that what you ultimately want in a CF? all around game is secondary
I mean Haaland wasn’t exactly the young risk type given his goal record prior to joining.
The running joke is that spurs are incapable of winning a trophy and that they always crumble under pressure. Don't tell me that's news to you! That's what makes any hope of winning a trophy with them unrealistic and what I and the poster I responded to were referencing. Hope that clears things up, Harry.
If I speak…….
The PR team jump the shark.
Walk away mate, walk away.
Haha! I’ve already ran a mile!
Literally was just a throwaway comment. Infuriating how people run with comments.
