King Kante 1,643 Posted May 1, 2021 Share Posted May 1, 2021 2 hours ago, Superblue_1986 said: Where we may be able to entice Spurs into making a deal for Kane is by offering Tammy within it. If Levy has any sense he'll realise there's a big overhaul needed at Spurs and they may have to strip things back and rebuild for the next couple of years. They have so much deadwood in their squad, and that 'young' team they had a few years ago was left to grow old together, most of them now in their late 20's/early 30's very few fully realising the potential that they may have had at one point. Tammy is clearly not on Kane's level but he would offer them a young, homegrown striker who has shown that he is capable of scoring goals in the Premier League and would likely be a low risk signing with the potential to kick on and develop. If we offered £80-100m + Tammy, it would be interesting to see whether Spurs would be willing to come to the table. I don't see an issue with Kane agreeing to join Chelsea. Recent interviews suggest that he wants to win trophies and if the opportunity to join Chelsea presented itself, I don't think he'd worry about loyalty to Spurs. When was the last time we paid market leading rates for a player over 28 by the time the next season roles around? Sheva? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I would prefer Haaland but its a dream as opposed to a reality I would think. As long as its the right player who’s signed never mind the age or the fee. This squad needs a bit of experience and killer instinct in the top end of the pitch. Edited May 1, 2021 by OneMoSalah Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Ah maybe not. Still he will get a pre season of sorts as opposed to having to work around implementing ideas and systems with a game every 3 days. Will be better for us and should see more improvement I would hope. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Vesper 30,232 Posted May 1, 2021 Share Posted May 1, 2021 (edited) Lukaku is 28 in 12 days so he will be 29 before next season ends £90m for one full year under 30 is not my cuppa and Lukaku is not like Lewa or Benzema or Drogba or Suarez, not full of guile and a natural scorer he is a pure physical beast and relies on pace and bursts with that huge frame, I wager he starts to slow down by 31 or so in large manner look at Aubameyang at Arse all pace before turned 31 boom now pace is going going soon far gone, as his quality and he is not lugging around 90-100kgs or so Edited May 1, 2021 by Vesper Muzchap and Fernando 1 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Yeah, but none of those were at top market rates. All of those players were had for reasonable fees that you can swallow over 3-5 years. Kane at £100m+ isn't.

Particularly Luiz, Ziyech and Fabregas who all cost over £30m. Kane for near or over 100m plus is still gonna be good value for money. He scores 25 goals a season and has now started assisting more too. Plus he’s one of best in his position. And he already plays in the league, speaks the language (well just about) and would come in straight away to hit the ground running. For 4/5 years, the cost will not be that bad and realistically would be a good investment. Same with Lukaku. The age thing shouldn’t matter regarding his fee because he is quality. I get Haaland would be a better long term investment but at the same time that also gives BVB the chances to demand more as he’s younger. Like with Dembele.

I am not disagreeing with any of the pros of Kane. I am just pointing out it is never going to happen as his profile is one that we aren't going to stump up for. If he where £50-£60m then for sure I could see us doing it, but £100m+? No way, not going to happen, it would be completely contrary to everything the club has done in the transfer market post Torres (some could even argue, post Sheva.) Furthermore, Kane has a dodgy ankle, that isn't going to get any better so where you may expect another 4-5 years out of such a player, his could be a lot less. Personally, I am so confident we will not sign Harry Kane (unless we can get him for a fee under £60m) that I will give you £10 via PayPal if we sign him for one above that.

At 28, given he remains fit he would be a top signing. His ankles only dodgy because every time he gets close to being back they rush him in too soon. Mourinho did it for the best part of 2 seasons.

Missed 75 games in nearly 10 seasons. Suppose its food for though but I think if you get 30-35 games your going to get 20-25 goals. Like Costa also, missed a few games here and there but if hes playing 80% of the time you know what your getting. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
R2D2 368 Posted May 2, 2021 Share Posted May 2, 2021 (edited) If we don't get Haaland hope we go into next season with Havertz, Werner and Aguero/Giroud and instead use the money to buy a replacement for Ziyech.

I really wouldn't worry, he is getting to the age we do not spend big money on. I'd be amazed if we signed either him or Kane. Players like Håland (although he is almost impossible), Silva, Kun and maybe even Ings are more likely imo. Tomo 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Pizy 18,957 Posted May 2, 2021 Share Posted May 2, 2021 Let’s hope that United are stupidly still enamored with Sancho and spunk all their money on him rather than going after Kane or Haaland who would be much better fits. That way we have less competition. United still need a CB as well who will be hugely expensive. Until it was just mentioned here I didn’t even consider the idea of Tammy + cash as an offer for Kane. But if he gives any indication that he wants out we should definitely try that. His age doesn’t concern me at all. Late 20’s is the perfect age for our current squad and he’d easily give you 4-5 more years of top level play. Look at Giroud. Of course there’s that small matter of Daniel Levy… 🥶 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
