I don't get the feeling that Kane is going to be one of those seemingly ageless players still doing the business in their 30's and he is 27 in July.
Probably is, now or never for him.

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.

Exactly, I had the same feelings with Bale coming here from Real, there was a small window to make it happen and anything after that point it just wouldn't make sense.
Think if Kane wants to maximise his earnings/trophy winning career then he has to ignore his loyalties and move, I'm sure I read he's still on 120k a week? It's not exactly pocket change for normal folk but for in footballer terms it's insulting.
Amen!!!There are 3 options for Kane I think, Manutd, Barcelona, Juve. Maybe Chelsea. And I am not so sure any of them are ready to pay that much.
Bayern will never pay 150m for single player. At least they have Lewa.
Real Madrid have Benzema and if they pay 150m for attacker they will go for Mbappe not Kane.
Psg have Icardi.
City have Aguero and Jesus.
Other club cant afford him.
He become injury phrone and will be risk to pay that much for someone who could finish like Sanchez and Rooney.
On the other side, Attack of Sancho Kane and Rashford is mindblowing.
If we sell Pogba and De Gea for 150m and get 50m for deadwoods we can afford Kane and Sancho in single transfer window.
Out:
Pogba 100m
De Gea 60m
Lingard 10m
Pereira 10m
Sanchez 10m
Jones 5m
Rojo 5m
Mata 5m
=205m
IN:
Henderson Free
Smalling Back From Loan
Kane 150m
Sancho 120m
Grealish 60m
Partey 50m
380m
Net spend 175m.
I am not sure what is the hardest thing, to buy those players or to sell our deadwoods.
Little Mermaid?

He wont be going anywhere next season in my opinion.
Have you actually watched Kane play? He is absolutely nothing like Lukaku
Bit of an exaggeration, most of his ankle injuries are his own fault for being over zealous and making stupid challenges. I am more concerned with his latest injury than his ankles.
He wont be going anywhere next season in my opinion.

Don't want him. He gets injured way too much and would cost £150m easily knowing Spurs. There are better options out there.
If we are going to spunk that type of cash on an English player I'd rather it be Sancho who has youth on his side and seems to stay fit too.

No chance.
1) Levy won't sell to another PL club
2) Levy won't sell for less than 150 mill - which club in europe can afford that? I can't think of any!

That money would be better spent blowing away the competition when Haaland is next on the move
If I’d been asked last season or the season before whether I’d want us to sign Harry Kane I’d emphatically say yes as at times over the last couple of years our finishing has been awful but now I’d say no as the money it’d cost to sign him and the fact he wouldn’t fit the way we seem to want to play.
In Greenwood we have the best young striker in the league and who’ll only get better as well as having Martial who whilst not a natural striker is a fantastic finisher, for me what’s needed is more creativity and a natural right sided attacker so for me it’s Sancho and Grealish over Kane by a long distance.

Its a release clause so we cant outbid anybody?
This is a Raiola client. Throw enough money at it and he'll make sure he comes here
Impossible it happens but if it does we'd be challenging instantly. Kane and Rashford play very well together for England.
Possibly the biggest exaggeration I have seen regarding Kane why do you post such garbage, in the last 7 seasons Sturridge has averaged,
10 League games and 3.3 goals
Kane has,
28 League games and 19 goals (including his debut season of 10 games and 3 goals).
At his peak Sturridge only managed 28 league games, I have never seen a player who has been doubted through out his career like Kane has, he has tore his hammy he isn't dead.

Utter nonsense
I think the real abbreviation is auto swapped by a bot
If thats true we should abandon Grealish and Maddison and go get him.
He, Sancho and Rashford would be the best forward line in world football imo.
250m but we wouldnt need to touch our forward line or midfield (if Pogba stays) for 4 to 5 years.
Its like Madrid in 09 who went for 3 galatico signings in 1 year instead of one eveey season for 3 to kick start their project. At the end of the 3 years it would still cost the same, less even if including inflation.
Yes, just sign him and Sancho. I am fine even if we didnt sign anyone else but that front 3 would be pure porn.
Sancho £100m
Kane £200m
It's not happening, and wouldn't be sensible given his injury record over the last few seasons.
Spurs can ask for that but they wont get it.
This is easy to fund.
pogba £1mio
Martial £70mio
sancho 100 mio
Kane 120 mio
grealish 50 mio
Just can’t see levy selling him though and £120 mio is a very reasonable price
then we have
sancho grealish rashford kane greenwood ighalo James as our forward opti
grealish sancho mctominay Fred Bruno matic as our midfield options
hunger spirit quality, championship challenge... a CB would be icing on cake but we can wait for that

So he'll stay until his contract runs down a few more years. He extended until 2024. Levy holds all the power in this one.
There a very good chance he'll fetch £80m in 2 years time.
My only concern is he will cost a ludicrous amount and is injured every season.
Probably a non-starter given his contract and Levy. I'd prefer we invest in Sancho and Partey this summer and then go all in on Haaland next summer. Of course if Pogba leaves then we'd need someone like Grealish or Maddison too. Much as I like Kane it would just be too difficult.
They thought the same with Eriksen and that fell on its ass.
If Kane wants to leave then he will leave, turning down (lets say) 140m odd because he wants a price nobody will pay, for a player who wants to leave, when they need a major overhaul would be ridiculous.
If Kane does want to go, I think they will try for the highest price and sell instead of saying 200m for an injury prone 27 year old or nothing.
If he becomes available it's an immediate yes. Guaranteed goals. Can create his own and is a fox in the box. I personally don't see it happening - Jose would immediately leave Spurs, also the cost involved would put off everyone but this is the first time theres been any rumours linking him with us.
Oh yes.
This is nothing like Eriksen.
Kane has 4 years left on his contract. They can keep him for 2 and still sell him with plenty time left on his contract. In comparison, Pogba has 2 years left (1 year with an option to extend for 1 year) and we're asking £100m.
IBTL
More likely to sign Messi
So apparently he doesn't fancy hanging around Spurs because they are "rebuilding" but he'd be ready to transfer to United as part of their "rebuild"...?!?!?
Leaves me scratching my head..

I normally just lurk and read threads when I'm bored. But have to log in to state that buying Kane would be a disaster, especially at some ludicrous fee, but I can imagine Ed thinking he's pulled off a great coup by blowing a years budget on him. He peaked 2 years ago and was great, but since then he has been in steady decline, for 2 years his xG stats etc have been poor and padded out by penalties. Add to this that his ankles are shot and he's always going to have injuries it would he a complete disaster. I can't get my head around people thinking spending a record amount him would be a good idea.
Not worth the risk in my opinion.
Our new data analyst should look at his figures (including distance covered, sprints etc) and I’m confident they will find a player in steep physical decline.
I would actually prefer Jimenez at this point. He looks like a physical beast at the moment. I know he is a few years older than Kane, but considering their injury records and minutes played I actually think Jimenez will be a more influential player the next 3-4 years.

So he's wants to leave Spurs to avoid an extensive rebuilt and....join us?
Yeah, this one is not going to happen. Maybe in a year or two, but no one is going to pay the amount that Spurs will be looking for. It does not help that he also has a few injury concerns. Unless he really acts like cnut, and makes things difficult for Spurs (which I don't see happening), this one is an unlikely one.
no thanks.
I like Jimenez a lot, but I think Kane is at least a level above. He's a world class striker. I don't notice that steep decline you refer to, sure his injury record is cause for concern, but if he has to play every single game for his club and country, that's not ideal.
Of course, it's unlikely, but I don't get why people wouldn't want him. Is that to prevent disappointment or do people genuinely not think he'd immediately improve us up front massively?
His best before date isn't here yet but i feel it's very close. He would represent a very short term investment for any club. The only way I could see it is if a team is just about there but missing one thing to win titles. Not a player to build around !!
