We have much more chance of replacing him with 100m than next season for zilch, I can't see him signing a new deal and least this means he isn't scoring against us
Surprised he seems to be interested in going abroad but probably no clear options here and they are a huge huge club

Personally don’t think you can underestimate the potential negative and disruptive influence it will have on the entire season either. Especially the type of manager and person ange seems to be. A first half of the season with constant talk of pre contract agreements. A second half of the season (assuming he doesn’t sign a pre contract) of kane this, Kane that, Tottenham will be f*cked etc.

I would be seriously concerned about that affect should we get through the summer with no real decision.
Just don’t think there is a way round it either - the two options are - he signs this summer and commits or we cash in

I really think to give Ange and the team the best possible chance we at least have to be decisive - however painful, it could be a whole lot worse over the next 12 months and then where he decides to go next……..
I don't see this being at all a distraction this season. Do players really lose focus because a player might leave in the summer? I always found the obsession over it strange with Conte too. The players just focus on the season they're currently playing and not what may or may not happen the following season. It's more the fans who bang on about it and the media than anything the players pay attention too.

Of all the scenarios here £80-100mil sale to Bayern a non PL team would be about as good as it could get all things considered, especially if it’s done soon so we can look to replace him and get our pre-season in order without the constant distraction.

Obviously if he’s open to staying then great but we then risk losing him on a free next year which isn’t ideal.

Except it wouldn’t be zilch. It would be our usual available funds. Hopefully supplemented with the future revenue from CL qualification as a result of keeping him Around. And the growing commercial income from other stadium usage.

An additional 100m clearly helps but isn’t the be all and end all. Plus buying a replacement this year could be much tougher without any European competition and we could end up with a second rate player regardless of having 100m to spend.

I am convinced Kane will leave this window... IF Bayern offers a 80m package.

5th place qualifies for CL. So there's a slightly better odds than usual top4. But more importantly, if Kane goes to PL rival, that basically ruins us our chances in every competition every year till Kane retires.

So, We HAVE to control where Kane ends up. And thats only possible this window. If Kane is not going to sign a new deal, we have to sell him now to Bayern and make the best of it.

If rumoured target is Jonathan David, I would be absolutely delighted - been beating his drum for 2 years now as a potential Kane replacement. Ofcourse, he cant match Kane in every way. But he is the most realistic target we can get who can play alongside likes of Son & Richarlison and 'score and assist' 25+ in league

EDIT : 5th place next season qualifies...if English club earn a extra spot

When you take the emotion out - it makes sense. Life is full of compromise.
If you take the emotion out of it, what is there to care for about football?

1000% in the keep him for the season camp and can't see what will sway me out of it, personally. I'd rather see him for one more season in an attacking side and see what he can put up, and see if we can get to another cup final, because that's where the magic is for me in bothering to follow the club or the game. Watching us play the best football possible.

Would be the wrong decision moving to German with one year left on your contract in my opinion.
He must have told us he’s definitely not going to sign a new deal If we are agreeing to sell him at the “right” price this summer.

For my own sanity can someone please link me to somewhere which confirms this is 100% the case. I don't think I've heard about it anywhere officially and the media are still referring to "top 4" for Champions League.

Keeps being mentioned on here but the only sources I can find online are rags saying it could happen.

I never thought we'd cope when Bale left, the same went for Modric, yet we did and hot better.
Not a fair response from myself.

But letting those two helped Madrid win the CL. So we allow and help others win titles rather than win them ourselves. I want big club mentality.

According to this. We made £90m by getting to the CL


But people think we’d be willing to park with Kane for circa £80m.

I’d suggest we have a significantly better chance of qualifying for CL next year with Kane in the team and therefore the potential windfalls that come the following season.

Therefore, I’d rather have him next season and bank on top 5 and then he either goes on a free or (please god) signs a new contract

Well , what about the possibility that Kane walks into a United or Chelsea next season and effectively blocking one space for CL spot for another 5 years...given he can drag any team through...

Are we going to just look at 1 season or next 5 years ?
