Factotum Posted August 4, 2020 Share Posted August 4, 2020 I would have thought United would have gone all out to get Kane. Sign Kane, and United could genuinely win the league. The guys a machine and worth a huge outlay. Perhaps next season is that 'final season' for Kane at Spurs, where if they don't win something or qualify for Top 4 then the word will go out that he's open to leave.

They won't win anything (why break the habit?), and qualifying isn't enough. He should leave, but he's contracted to 2024 so he will cost a pretty penny. I've always thought if he left it would be United, and absolutely nothing has changed my mind. Sancho and Greenwood/Rashford off Kane? Ridiculous. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I don't see Kane at a Real or Barca, but Juve or Bayern he would seem perfect for. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Paid Members garynysmon Posted August 4, 2020 Paid Members Share Posted August 4, 2020 (edited) I can see Kane going abroad if he leaves Spurs. But its quite a depressing thought that none of the "top 4-5" will fall off their perch unless something catastrophic happens. It used to be the case that clubs had their phases before falling off and things happened in cycles. Leicester was a complete fluke. But if you look at the financial gap, its quite feasible that the current top 4 will remain where they are and its impossible to break into it. Look at Man Utd, didn't qualify for the Champions League for years yet their mainly foreign commercial income means they were still raking it in regardless and able to throw the cash around like its nothing, with or without that Champions League money. (Why couldn't they just fuck off?!)  Whereas Spurs haven't got a pot to piss in now due to missing out. Edited August 4, 2020 by garynysmon Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Mr_Danger Posted August 4, 2020 Share Posted August 4, 2020 Haven’t United still got a massive debt? I thought they were like £400m in debt only that the club makes so much money they can still afford to service the debt whilst spending like Brewster.

Paid Members Cod Eye Posted August 4, 2020 Paid Members Share Posted August 4, 2020 Well, the EFL's independent tribunal has upheld Wigan's punishment, meaning they will be in League 1 next year and Barnsley stay in the Championship. As shit as it must feel for the Wigan fans, I honestly believe starting out with a clean slate, and the players on half wages(as per their contracts), they have a much better chance of coming out the other side. When you are committed to spending 168% of their turnover on player wages alone, it's going to take either a very committed or very rich person to still want to buy them out..

Paid Members PunkStep Posted August 4, 2020 Paid Members Share Posted August 4, 2020 Serves him right for naming his sports stores and gyms after himself, the egotist. The fucking Tory wanted a minute's silence at all football matches after Thatcher died. Thoughts on that @Frankie Crisp? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
