I guess the problem is going to be the market now. How many clubs at the moment can afford a £100 million plus player and, of those, is Kane as fashionable a name as Haaland or Mbappe at the moment when it comes to who they would spend that big money on. I am not sure which clubs I can see in the current climate being willing to offer any where near what Spurs feel he is worth.

United have a long history of throwing money at our players, and other similar level clubs! They tend to pay the big bucks for players that are already proven in this league - and homegrown as an added benefit.

Surely Kane is only going to want to leave Spurs for a club where he can almost be guaranteed silverware though at this stage of his career and that limits the market.

I would agree with you. But they might be able to persuade him they're in a good position to win trophies, along with throwing him 300k a week... Not that I'm talking this up, but pessimism is just a classic Spurs fan trait. :LOL:

Cannot help that there were reports a few weeks ago that he may be sold simply to clear off a chunk of stadium debt rather than re-invest in the squad.
 
Spurs may well want a record fee for Kane but those injuries over the past 4 years or so are going to stop that happening

The teams who could afford him and guarentee him trophies are going to be looking at the likes of Haaland , Mbappe , Felix etc

Would surprise if whoever doesn’t get Haaland will then look at Kane for second choice but will go for around £80mil if he does want to leave

For the purposes of a move to another prem club Kane has something the others can't offer... A proven track record [in the prem]... Personally I can see him moving to Chelski...

I don't think he would do that to us. If he goes it'll be up north or abroad. I also reckon Levy wouldn't even entertain an offer from them.

Currently missing at 'the bridge' is a proven goal scorer...
Always available is loads of dosh...
Spuds need the dosh...
A marriage made in hell ;):)...

Suspect the only continental club that would/could afford Levy's expectations is PSG...
Can't see him [Kane] heading north...

I can’t see him going to another London club , we wouldn’t spent the money on him , City or United maybe but they are looking at bigger targets

That aside, what went off with a aubameyang at arsenal, was he stuck in traffi as has been reported.

He is always, always flipping late. It doesn't matter what excuse he had, it was once too many times, and an example needed to be made, Captain or not. I am fine with it. But it really only works if you win.

Tash, I think a striker is one issue of three or four.

I will say until my last breath that, capable as Rashford is of some remarkable things, he misses far too many routine chances. Martial is a better finisher but very streaky in terms of confidence and performance. And Greenwood is one for the future. They need a 20 goals a season striker.

Add to that a commanding centre half with pace, and a right sided midfielder, and I don’t think we’re far off being serious challengers again.

I think we also need a quality CDM to replace Fred.
That would also release Scott McDominate to be a proper box to box midfielder.

ave got to say that the few times I have seen McDominay play I have been massively impressed.

Re Spurs I have been massively puzzled by them. City have them in the final of the league cup. until yesterday I thought City are going to struggle big style. If Spurs turn up like yesterday, City will get half a dozen. Again, what is going on there. Spurs looked at there very best when they were down to 10 men. Why?

One for the spuds fans me finks.

We're either very, very good, or we don't turn up at all. Who knows which one you'll get.

I hope Harry Kane gets a proper trophy one day, he is to good not to. Just not against City. He don’t want to be the Westwood of the football world where he don’t get a major/ trophy.

I'm not convinced the League Cup counts anymore. If we won the League Cup - would it end the jokes about us not winning a trophy? No they'd just change it say we haven't won a major trophy. Would Kane think "great I've won a trophy, I'm satisfied now so I'll stay"? Probably not. He'll be wanting to compete for a league, or Europe.

Sorry but even if the flag had gone up that would have still happened

That was all very quick and the players would have still gone on during that incident

No I disagree .
If he puts the flag up and the whistle goes it dosnt happen.
It’s a bad rule brought in for VAR ,and a accident waiting to happen.

But will concede it might have made no difference but it just might of.
Just hope the lads ok.
