Focal point of the attack built round him probably.
Harry Kane | "I will be staying at Tottenham this summer and will be 100% focused on helping the team achieve success."
- Thread starter Samid
- Start date
I'm not saying I wouldn't love to have Harry Kane on the pitch for us, but you don't pay whatever obscene fee we would have to pay for him to get the wrong kind of forward. Cavani is showing us exactly what we need. Someone looking to make runs over and over again, to get on the end of balls forward, to stay high up the pitch and get in the box at every opportunity. Energetic, pacy, a fox in the box. Kane is more like Bruno than Cavani.
Yeah your right, why don't all clubs just build an attack around any old player, sure they can all do the same thing.
IF we’re willing to spend 120m on Harry, we might as well spend the 130m it will take to bring in Erling.
But if we can keep Cavani and develop Greenwood at CF, then bring in Sancho and Rice.

Only, he assists and scores more than both. I feel so sorry for Harry, he was a one season wonder for 4 seasons, then after that he's an injury prone clogger who was never as good as his one season wonder years, FFS.
Depends on whether Erling wants to come here though doesn’t it.
If we bid for Kane then it’s obvious Erling to United isn’t a possibility.
To be honest, if I had to bet my house, I would probably still lean towards Kane out scoring Haaland in the PL. Due him being PL proven and obviously an elite level striker in his own right.
Also Erling might come here and feck off after two seasons anyway.
Fair play. Clearly Harry would leave with a heavy heart, however, good to see that the Spurs fans wouldn't begrudge him of his move.
But yes, he's better off at City if he wants guaranteed silverware...which of course he would.
Kane guatentees trophies at Utd. If not he was overrated and not worth the fee.
Look at 34 year old Cavani at Utd ffs. 14 goals in 18 starts now so imagaine Kane in his role.
Which one is it? If Kane ended up with United I honestly wouldn't be past myself, but what I bolded in your post doesn't make sense. You seem to have one ball on either side of the fence,
If Kane doesnt see hinself moving to Utd as guarenteed success then he isnt as good as people say he is. We are now incredibley hard to beat but arent a defensive side. Add in Kane and we should turn a shit load of draws into wins that has us seriously up there with City. If Cavani were 28 we would be EPL champions imo never mind having Harry Kane up top.
PSG, more likely. Especially if they fail to sign Mbappé on a new contract.
I think you are exaggerating with that. Everything seems to indicate that he ultimately sees the Premier League as his preferred league. His father played in England and he himself was born there. Everybody in his country prefers the PL. He himself has said his footballing dream is to win the PL, albeit with Leeds which obviously won't happen so he'll have to 'accept' doing it with one of the other top teams. People who have played with him have talked about him wanting to play in England.
The main thing is that he seems to want to play in and win multiple leagues in different countries, so nobody knows what order he's going to do that in. He might prefer to go to Spain first and win that before then coming to England in a few years when he should be approaching his prime and is even better. In fact I think that might have been his preferred option, but with the financial issues they just might not be an option if he wants to leave now rather than wait another 12 months for his clause. Either way I'd hardly class it as having a 'big fetish for Spanish teams'.
Why buy Erling when Mino will just push to move him on in 24 months?
I never said any of the above. Find a poster who you actually disagree with to rant at. I said he's a phenomenal player who I would obviously love to have. I also said if you're going to spend £100m plus don't do it on a player who is not appropriate for the role you're trying to fill.
Spurs posters on here...
He actually looks disinterested now. His head must be elsewhere
Can you blame him when he has a caretaker coach, team mates who can’t be arsed anymore and owners who also don’t give a flying feck
Hopefully he realizes soon he's wasting his career there.
We should be all in if there's a chance to get him. Imagine an upgrade on Cavani...

Fascinated to see how this ends up now. He must be desperate for a move, but I just can't see where he goes. I'd love him to go to PSG.
Its a new low though. Normally hes running about demanding the ball as he chases the golden boot as the season ends. Theres none of that, its just acceptance.
C’mon, we’d get at least 48.
Kane would fit more than Cavani actually. It would mean we don't need to sign a Sancho as him dropping deep works well with Rashford/Greenwood. In additon, Bruno likes to make those runs from deep too, so at time's Kane can take up some creative duties, whilst Bruno ventures higher.
My main concern is the injuries with the age. Is it really worth it signing a player who has injury spells every season for 100m plus. It's not really his age that concerns me, but rather the consistent injuries he has accumulated over the years. It's a lot of money that could be dished out on a player that could slow down quickly. However, I've never been a proponent of just signing a player with a decade in mind. Personally, a good transfer is one that can give you 3 to 4 seasons of good performances.

If Cavani decides to stay, I would rather sign Sancho and pass on Kane. Not a popular opinion but I just love how Cavani seamlessly fits in our team. Kane is playing way too deep these days.
Where would he go if he were to leave Spurs?
He should go to Chelsea. Wouldn't even have to move
.But seriously, even if Kane asks for a move, I can't see Levi selling him to another EPL club. Then again, this would be the ideal time for Spurs to cash in on him, he's 28 in the summer and Tottenham needs to rebuild.
Right player, wrong transfer window.
Fixed
He is in City next year. You can bet on it.
It's time to go!
to United.
to United.
He has 2-3 years of peak playing time left and that's if those ankles hold up. Needs to get out of there.
I know that in a long run and shit like that Haaland is best option but between those two i would pick Harry any day. IF his price will be under 100 mil, we should go all for him. If thst means spending entire budget then fine. Amazing striker
Levy will defo give a discount to PSG to stop him going to an english side. Done it before
I doubt Psg consider him. They will invest hugely in Neymar and Mbappe contracts plus attack is last area where they need new players.
If he leaves it is City or by some miracle United
It still confuses me why he agreed to the last contract he did. Kane and Son wasting what remains of their prime away. Feck knows what they must think having to sit through a Ryan Mason half-time team talk.
Haalands wage demands are reported as being huge, 600k a week would smash our wage structure. I'd say that alone would end our interest.
Werent Spurs consistently in top 4 when he signed ?
I have had a couple of people who claim to know people say this is happening. That has got to be bollocks, right? Daniel Levy?
I am not an ITK nor do I claim to be. I even told the people concerned (Journalism) they're full of it.

What if his ankle breaks down again after 1 game?
Even in normal time it would be a huge risk. During COVID time it’s utter lunacy. Sanchez transfer will look like a good deal compare to the fallout.
Yup and they'd just lost the CL final.
But the sped at which it unravelled the following season was insane. There must have been stirrings the summer he re-signed (July 2019).
Erling definitely has to want to come to OT for such talk to be relevant.
But all things being equal, I see Erling being a much better fit for us than Harry. However, I can’t prove that claim to be true and I won’t deny that Kane would be a massive upgrade on Martial, whose workrate is bey
There’s no chance anyone will pay 600k/week, but this whole discussion is moot anyway because of the massive amounts whatever they may be it would take to bring Erling to OT. I’m ok with that. We need to spend huge sums to compete with City, but we can’t spend crazy huge sums.
As good as Kane is ,I'd rather sign Sancho
