Do you guys want Kane? If we are going to pay obscene amounts for a striker, I want that striker to be recognized as one of the best in the world. Is Kane? I'm not English and so the fortunes of the English team don't really matter to me, and the homegrown pride of having a great English striker also doesn't matter to me. 2016-17 and 2017-18 he was banging them in. Are his best years behind him, now he's 26? I honestly don't know but I've just never been that thrilled with Kane.
Honestly, thank you for that response. I was prepared to get blasted for not loving Kane. I only watch Spurs when we play them, and I did see England play in Moscow, and when you see a player like Kane in person compared to Neymar, they seem like they are playing different sports. I guess I am gun-shy thinking it might be Lukaku 2.0. If we were to get Kane, would it be at the expense of Rashford or Greenwood? I'm not even sure anymore who our best center forward is, or if we even have one besides Ighalo. Rashford, Martial, and Greenwood all seem to do better coming in from wide.I'm not sure. He's a very good striker and guaranteed goals, but he has been riddled with injuries the past few seasons. Whether his best years are behind him or not is open for debate, as it's quite common for strikers to being banging them in their late twenties and early thirties. Lewandowsi, Zlatan and Suarez are just some of the examples of this. He's not a striker that relies heavily on pace either, such as Torres, Rooney or Owen did, who were arguably never the same after serious leg injuries. It just depends what affect these injuries have actually had. He's not exactly an exhilarating player to watch, but I think if we were to sign him, he would score a lot of goals.
It's hard to argue against that.Not sure he’d want to join us why join another “project” if he leave Spurs bit like RVP he wants to go into a ready made title winner.
Maybe he stuck with Spurs this long because there is a romantic element in him somewhere that believes in the 'project' or wants to lead his club to trophies. Therefore, he's not looking to join ready made success and just piggyback his way to a few tin pots, rather, he's looking for the opportunity to be the cause of a team's success, not just a participant in it. *clutches all the straws*Not sure he’d want to join us why join another “project” if he leave Spurs bit like RVP he wants to go into a ready made title winner.

When any professional feels like they're performing at a level that they don't see in their colleagues, or demanded by leadership/admin, they start to look longingly at other workplaces who have high standards, hold themselves accountable and are usually successful. At first, they try and reproduce the same things in their current situation, but when it's resisted eventually they give up and leave. This is obviously what happened with RvP, and the gold standard for everything not happening at Arsenal at the time was Fergie's United.Just have to hope that like RVP Utd had that sentimental draw over City not really sure that will happen I think the draw back then was working with Fergie.
He’s so good he just instantly fits into anyone’s team but if he’s on the market the only club I think that wouldn’t go for him would be Bayern because they have Lewendowski.
Just hard to see how the deal can get done unless Levy is prepared to be fair with him. It could just be a play by Kane to put pressure on the club to invest in the summer. He can’t enjoy playing under Mourinho one of the best strikers in the world but spends most of the game miles from goal.
Would he fancy the reunion with Poch at PSG if Mbappe does leave they would have the money.

Kane is in the same boat, except thanks to Ed and his band of bumbling idiots, Pep and City are the model for professionalism and everything Kane doesn't see at Spurs.
I honestly don't think he's ready to leave Spurs yet, and like you said, it's probably a pressure play for investment in the summer, however if he does want out, there are much better options for him to consider than us. Sigh...
