What's new

Harry Kane.

Furthermore if Kane has any sense in him whatsoever he has to be telling his agents to be driving home hard to Levy, Pep and everybody at city just how badly he wants to go there.

On a 5 year deal he is as close to guaranteed as it can be that he picks up winners medals on the PL, League cup and FA cup and darn good chance in the CL too. Multiples of all most likely.

Calling the deal right now. Money plus Sterling for Kane.

It is between united and city

The only question is will they pay what spurs want in this pandemic era

i personally think that Utd don't need a striker, the Glazers won't spunk 120 million on a striker, f**k knows how much Cavani is on, plus Rashford and the emergence of Greenwood, think its media hyping up its, they might spend on a new Defender?

Your starting st is 34. Rashford and Martial are not Strikes, greenwood is 21 and can play on the wing. 

United main need is st not defender

 
Not a chance he signs for us, he clearly has a ton of respect for Spurs, just going by how long he’s stuck it out hoping the following season will be the one they make the step to the next level. For me, that respect means he won’t sign for us, probably their most bitter rival - Arsenal are their biggest rivals, (very) local and have the history, but there is genuine bad blood between us and them, we despise each other.

Word is Levy is feeling out for strikers to bring in as a replacement already, so it looks it may well happen. I can’t see it being anybody but City, he’s guaranteed to challenge for every trophy year in year out at a club that spends constantly on the team.

It's never impossible to buy a player but with Kane there's homegrown tax, rivalry tax and Levy being a bastard tax. We could end up spending all of £150m + a player to get him.

For all the money we would blow on a bid for Kane, we could actually compete with City for Haaland, then there's also Lukaku who would be quite a bit cheaper.

So our rivals will get world class forwards and we get United's flop for tons of money.

If United get Kane, City get Haaland and we end up with Lukaku, we'd be utterly f**ked. Just the idea of that happening depresses me to the point of despair.

 
Unfortunately I don’t believe other our club can sign quality strikers. We just ruin them. 

 
All these Kane rumours to us are very premature, lose or draw tonight and we wont be dining at the top table for any striker, it will be the Andy Carrolls of this world unfortunately.

Lukaku is my third choice but he is premier league proven, sure he kind of flopped at Utd but that could be a club specific thing, I don't know if the undiagnosed digestive issue really affected him that much but if it did then that's an acceptable excuse for being overweight and poor. He's improved since then.

He's going to be cheaper* as well (probably still £90-100m as opposed to £120+ for the other 2)
But yes I still hate his first touch, don't like his attitude, don't think he's a big game player but we need a top striker this season or we risk not being competitive again.

Buying Lukaku would mean being stuck with him for the foreseeable future. His sure to be huge contract plus enormous fee we'd have to part with will make sure of that. If there's a choice between signing Lukaku and staying put, I'd prefer to sign nobody and wait for somebody else. I think our fans are so frustrated with our struggles in front of goal, they're desperate for anyone to come and solve this issue. But signing Lukaku isn't the answer, he's a limited player with a shocking touch.

Also, how could he be PL proven and a United flop at the same time? I thought PL proven means he was a success. Otherwise we could say Morata is also PL proven, since he also used played in the PL.

I also don't think he's improved much, it's more of a case of looking good in a weak league. Apart from Juve, Serie A are a shadow of what it used to be.

 
Definitly going.

Whoever gets him will be favorites for the title. United would be if they do and we would if we somehow got him.

 
Footy 365 thinks Utd will offer Spurs, Martial and Lingard as a sweetener to landing Kane.

Perhaps they should offer Pogba that might do it.

The football fan likes the idea of Kane linking up with Fernandes, the CFC fan thinks we might be in trouble. Are there any nasty strikers out there that can score?

Perhaps Costa has a naughty cousin that scores for fun.

Lukaku is PL proven as he has done the business with the likes of WB and Everton, he still scored 16 and 12 PL goals for Utd, flop is probably a harsh term. It comes down to buying a somewhat flawed yet seemingly top striker for the big bucks, or chancing on another player like Aguero who we don't know if he's done or not, he could end up being another Falcao, buying another player from Europe and possibly ending up with another Batshuayi or putting faith in Werner.

Giroud is going to leave for sure and Tammy is likely too, we need some goddamn strikers in here.

I agree about the need to sign strikers if both Tammy and Ollie leave, I just don't want us to to bring Lukaku because for the money we'll have to spend, he'll be expected to start. If he was a free agent I probably wouldn't mind him coming in as a squad option, but to lead the line, no way.

If we can't land a genuine world class forward in the summer, let's get someone like Ings for competition and hope Werner improves enough to add some scoring in his second season. I just hate the idea of commiting to the wrong players on long term contracts out of desperation.

If we sign Kane we become the favorites for the title?

Well, it's not in our hands anyway, we'll just have to live with what the club decides on. You could have doubts over Haaland anyway being that he hasn't played in the PL, I mean I couldn't believe how Werner turned out for us so far.. then you have Kane who could be potentially injury prone and has not been effective in the big games, I watched all 3 finals he played in and he has been far from impressive, he's no Drogba that's for sure.

 
Pre-COVID I’d have said no chance would levy sell to us. But if we are the only team that would offer the money they want can they afford to turn that down?

 
My money would be on him going to Manchester City. 

With Aguero leaving and no other noticable weakness in their squad it looks all set up for him to sign for them.

I agree. He's looking to go where he's most likely to win trophies and City is the best bet at the moment.
