Tiresias Posted August 10, 2023 Share Posted August 10, 2023 If Man U hadn't spunked all their money on a crocked kid they may have been able to force it through now. It wouldn't shock me if they still gave it a go, but i just think Levy wants him abroad if he is to be sold. I wonder if he knew Kane was minded to stay and then accepted the bid just to prove to the owner that he was willing to sell. Wouldn't shock me at all.

He might go, he might not. We’ll see. He’s settled with family and kids, clearly loves the club, it’s a tough decision. Anyone pretending it’s not is a bit daft.

Decky Posted August 10, 2023 Share Posted August 10, 2023 The thing I don’t get about Kane and the top goalscorer record is that records are made to be broken. If Kane stays and breaks it then Shearer only had it about 20 years. What’s the point in Kane staying for it and living to see someone break it, no one cares who is 2nd on the list. It’s all about trophies, they last forever. He’s an idiot not to go and finally win something. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Abacus Posted August 10, 2023 Share Posted August 10, 2023 Egg all over Bayern's face if he does stay. Making him their number 1 target, very publicly pursuing him, only for the player to turn them down for ... Spurs. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Tiresias Posted August 10, 2023 Share Posted August 10, 2023 I can respect him wanting to stay loyal to 'his club'. I don't think staying is unreasonable. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
KaKa Posted August 10, 2023 Share Posted August 10, 2023 £100 million for the Paqueta I watched at West Ham last season is actually hilarious. Great business for West Ham. Paqueta will clearly be far better suited at Man City. However I'm still not sure exactly how good he'll ultimately be. My guy instinct is that he'll be alright kind of the way Grealish has been and not the level of the likes of DeBruyne, Gundogan and Bernardo. Coulde be wrong though. Be really interesting to see how it plays out. This season is going to be something. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Devoid of ambition And here’s the thing. It’s understandable that people say this stuff. It’s just…it sounds a bit hollow coming from you guys after Shearer turned down Man U to go to Newcastle. I think it’s great he did. I love when players stay with teams their whole career, or choose their boyhood club over trophies or money or whatever. Doesn’t happen often enough. Just feels a bit rich to hear people complain about the top teams creaming off the best players and then complain that Kane/Shearer/Totti/whoever doesn’t have ambition.

He is a legend there and obviously loves the club. Nobody knows what is going on apart from the player and his crew, but he whole thing seems a bit weird. A bit like should I stay or should I go.

KaKa Posted August 10, 2023 Share Posted August 10, 2023 The Kane thing is fantastically funny. Him staying and leaving for a free to another Prem club, after another stinking season for Spurs would be just desserts for Levy. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

The point is, he looks more like a Gerrard (who was desperate to join Chelsea) than a Shearer, who as far as I remember, never wanted out of Newcastle once he was here. Of course it's only rumours, but there's been talk about Kane wanting to leave Spurs for at least three seasons now, and of course people will see him as a bottler when the chance comes and he ends up staying at a Spurs without European football when he could have moved go Bayern Munich.

Matt Posted August 10, 2023 Share Posted August 10, 2023 Why should he go to Bayern, with Levy choosing his options for him, when he can wait a year, make a massive signing on fee, and have his pick of destinations? If anything he’s being more ambitious staying put. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
St1pe Posted August 10, 2023 Share Posted August 10, 2023 Controversial but I think for that price he could add some good quality to us in a position we lack depth. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Don't necessarily disagree but the context is a little different, we were on a huge upward curve, had just come within 4pts of the title and were clearly the second best team in the country at the time and just as likely to win the league, although it didn't work out. I think it's more the "saga" aspect of this thing which is tiresome, he's been rumored to be moving in each of the past 2 or 3 summer windows.

The Prophet Posted August 10, 2023 Share Posted August 10, 2023 There's no way Bayern go all in on Kane if they don't have buy in, which they always claim to have had. Either he's making a show of it to keep fans onside and make out what a top bloke is or he's had a better offer in the meantime. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Tiresias Posted August 10, 2023 Share Posted August 10, 2023 (edited) I dunno think he got a bad rap for being a bit of an all rounder but master of none. He was just never a particularly intimidating midfielder for a club supposedly meant to be challenging for titles, but as a squad member is fine. No need for him here mind, with Longstaff Willock and Miley potentially in 2nd choice midfield we're fine. Edited August 10, 2023 by Tiresias Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
