United target Harry Kane for £45m

[bigspurs]

Love the fact that no one at The Telegraph has the gall to actually put their name to this horse crap of a story. Just says 'Telegraph Sport'.

Either sports journos just make stories up out of thin air, or they're dribbling lunatics!

 

[bigspurs]

Cue the negative ratings, but I don't ever see Harry Kane leaving us for a 'bigger team'.

Harry is at the kind of team his ability warrants.

He is not a top four striker and certainly wouldn't make any of their starting teams at the moment.

Just my opinion of course.

I'd bite their hands off at 45 million too btw.

Yeah and you've actually got to spend the £45m well, otherwise it's a waste of time! Kane is the best thing to happen at this club for a while, so eff-knows why you'd be happy to sell him, even for silly money. Haven't you noticed what a negative effect selling our best players has had to the team in the past. It never improves our chances of winning anything that's for sure!!

Seriously? History of our club shows our best players want to leave and we sell them

You make it sound like every decent player we have ever had has done this however isn't it more like:
Sheringham
Carrick
Modric
Bale
All world class players imo
Please feel free to add names if I have forgotten some

The Evening Standard can now confirm that Spurs will recect ManU's well, errr,,,"£45M bid"

I know you can't count Sol as a being sold but Spurs def "lost" him to another club - to another Champion of England.

You say that, but looking at this seasons form he'd probably be ahead of Drogba and Remy at Chelsea, ahead of Wilson and Falcao at United, ahead of Welbeck at Arsenal, ahead of Dzeko and Jovetic at City. He might not be their first choice striker, but he'd certainly get a lot of games.

Obvioulsy that's all irrelivant as he's not leaving.

We could purchase a centre forward, central midfielder and central defender for 45m and still finish 5-8th.

Kane is the best thing to happen to this club in a while, but 45m is an unrealistic valuation of him.

 

[ultimateloner]

We would sell for 50.

However I would be surprised if Kane would want to leave now. I am usually inclined to believe that players want to go to better places but Kane's move wont make sense.

What he now needs is game time and he might not get that at Man Utd. With us he has a manager who trusts and tolerates him, and he gas time from the fans.
He won't get that at Utd.

If he scores 20+ in the coming season then he will be off.

 

[ghetto_spur]

Denial: “No, of course Harry Kane isn’t going to Manchester United. Ha-ha, the very notion! Ha!”

Anger: “Why us? Why would God let this happen?! WHY?!?!?!”

Bargaining: “Emmanuel Adebayor’s available; they could take him instead?”

Depression: “This sucks, another mid-table finish for us.”

Acceptance: “Ah, it’ll be fine. He’s probably just a one-season wonder anyway.”

Proof that football has gone mad. Kane worth £75m, behave.

Not that I think we should sell him, no matter what's offered. We'd only spend it on totally unsuitable, overpriced players anyway.

Football went mad long ago, he has a point, Luiz was rated and sold for 50 million, Benteke is rated over 30 million so for a English 21 year old striker the valuation fits in today's market.

I'm not sure Luiz was rated at £50m. Chelsea were just lucky enough to find someone as stupid as PSG to pay it.

I still think £50m+ for a player who could conceivably turn out to be a one season wonder is ridiculous.

yes and yes so if we do get 45/50 we will sell.

I think so too but once it's been paid a club can legitimately look at that as the standard to go by.

 

[Mullers]

If he has one more season like this he'll be worth a lot more, so I think it would definitely be better to wait.

 

[Gaz_Gammon]

I think that Man Ure lose the Colombian in two weeks, freeing up some 250 grand a week in salary.

That overall saving is more than enough to buy and pay for Kane over a long term contract. He will go if the price is high enough for Levy. This is his philosophy at work, almost a perfect storm for ENIC.

 

[Spur4life]

Evey player has a price,be it kane,messi,or my uncle joe.The simple fact is players heads get turned when big wage is on the table.We cant put pay those wages its has simple has that till we get the ground done .Its a greedy game and a greedy world we live in.

 

[Amo]

Anyone here who wouldn't sell for £50m? We could buy a whole team for that sort of money!

 

[jolsnogross]

Kane wont go anywhere this summer, even if he'd back himself to succeed there or elsewhere. We've sold our ambition to the highest bidders in the last few years, but this would surely be too big a hit to take. It's not even that Kane is such an established star or emerging game changer. And you could see why people this year (and next) may say 50 million quid is too good an offer. But the damage to Spurs as a club would be too big a risk; akin to Newcastle-levels of meh.
