90? I guess you put the plus sign

I can't see him going for less than 140

by El Gunner Sun Oct 18, 2020 11:48 pm

lol he is worth 80 mil

Are you saying Kane is a better fit than Benzema?

by The Demon of Carthage Mon Oct 19, 2020 10:40 pm

Guys, his contract with Spurs ends in 2024. Why are we even entertaining the thought of him signing for Madrid?

by Art Morte Mon Oct 19, 2020 10:41 pm

Kane is turning 28 in February, if he doesn't move next summer he will finish his career at Tottenham, imo.

But signing a player of his caliber while he's contractually bound to Spurs would cost Madrid a fortune, and Florentino didn't accept to pay that much for Mbappé, what makes you think he would do it for Kane?

Also, here's a quote from Florentino himself which dates back to 2017:

Florentino wrote:Signing Harry Kane has not passed through my head. He is a great player and in addition he is young.

He has many years to progress, but we are delighted with [Karim] Benzema and with all of the team.

I didn't ask Tottenham's president [chairman, Daniel Levy] for the price because he would have told me that he is worth €250million

So quite obviously signing Kane HAD passed through Uncle Flo's head as he already anticipated in his mind the price Kane would command

by The Demon of Carthage Mon Oct 19, 2020 11:01 pm

Or it could be that he didn't even entertain the thought of signing him to begin with because he knew he would cost a lot.

for a player he is, isn't it sad that he still has not won any major trophy in his career so far with Spurs! He is 27 now and I hope ManCity sign him or best would be he goes abroad to win something.

I think it would be cool if he played his whole career at Spurs, that rarely happens nowadays.

by Helmer Tue Oct 20, 2020 11:10 am

And achieve exactly what by doing that Laughing

It really depends on whether Mourinho is given complete trust and support from Spurs side. We all know Mourinho's management style is kind of outdated in the current generation of players or football in general. But I still think if given time, he can set up his team tactically to win something at Spurs but lots of uncertainty there.

by Arquitecto Tue Oct 20, 2020 2:01 pm

Why the hell would Kane stay in Spurs?

They peaked in Poch's final year and still continue to win nothing and underachieve.

The guy is in his prime. Either he risks waiting for the team to be better along with dragging them to trophies or goes to a bigger better team and is remembered world wide for stepping up in challenge, rather than you know, having Spurs fans respect for staying "loyal".

He needs to make the big move sooner than later.

I really think next summer might be his final chance for that. In 2022 he will be 29-yo and still have two years left on his contract, meaning Spurs will still ask for loads of cash. Is Madrid / Man City / Man United going to pay 100m+ for a 29-yo player? I don't think so and therefore I believe he either moves next summer or never.

by Arquitecto Tue Oct 20, 2020 10:46 pm

Good point Arty Im in harmony with you in that opinion.

by danyjr Mon Mar 08, 2021 4:55 pm

Current best CF for me without a doubt. Better than Lewandowski. Better than Aubameyang. Hell, even better than Agüero.

He has reinvented the role of CF for me.

Totally agreed. When Pep quipped that spurs were the Harry Kane team he was wrong. Today he would be 110% right.

I think Lewandowski has shown over time that he's a better CF. Aguero isn't playing, these days, but I think that argument applies to him as well. Don't care much for who's "the best in this moment", personally, but I suppose it's something Razz

Mou would have been sacked years ago without Kane

by rincon Tue Mar 09, 2021 9:07 am

Is it no longer controversial to say that he is better than Benzema?

by jibers Tue Mar 09, 2021 10:10 am

He's the most complete CF atm. He's definitely the best passer, his range is unreal.

He's easily the best CF in the league, can't think of any other person close to him.

by Hapless_Hans Tue Mar 09, 2021 11:23 am

He's great but it's a bit rich to claim he's anywhere near Benzema or Lewandowski

Let's see him at a big club, and in more big CL games first.
Goals against Nicosia or Dortmund are one thing, but last I checked he was absent for Spurs' most successful CL run ever and only managed to screw up their final

by Thimmy Tue Mar 09, 2021 12:21 pm

Who was their most important player, leading up to, and including that CL final? Must be someone who hardly gets any recognition for his contributions to the Kane team hmm

Please don’t say Pochettino lol

Lucas Moura scored a hattrick against Ajax IIRC so there's that
