Why is everyone against making a move for Harry Kane? I am constantly seeing posts of "he's unproven", "one season wonder" and "he's overrated". So a young guy netting and playing some great footy in the toughest league in Europe shouldn't be seen as top purchase should United go in for him?

Let's also keep in mind he has just won the PFA young player of the year award which puts him in the same category as PL legends such as our own Ryan Giggs, David Beckham, Michael Owen, Robbie Fowler, Harry Kewell, Mark Hughes and Paul Gascoigne amongst others. Not a bad list of folk to share an award with right?

Now if you thought the above list was impressive I wonder how the PFA young players of the year got on in most recent times? Could folk enlighten me if a certain Wayne Rooney lived up to his hype? Did Ronaldo reach his potential? What about the young Spanish lad Fabregas who won the PFA award with the Gunners in 2008? Did the Welshman Gareth Bale make anything of himself after his "one season wonder"? Finally, last years winner Eden Hazard I believe was crowned the best player in the league this season or am I wrong?

So yes let's negatively criticise and chastise this top talent who has the world at his feet. I for one believe the folk who feel he is "overrated" are those who haven't watched him all that much and those will be same folk next year who will be championing us paying double the coin for him and lambasting the fact we didn't move for him this year. As time goes on he will only get better and we will only crave his signature more.

JMB, I'm not going to disagree with your post I just have reservations against Kane. Can I also mention Young, Jenas and Bellamy also won the PFA young player award.

its not that at all pal.
a lot of the players you list i watched and thought yer this boys got it .
i don't watching kane .
giggs rooney and co where always going to be top players from the age of 14,15 people where talking about them.
he has had a very good season but i'm not sure he will become a real top player

12 Jun 2015 14:26:52
Ports - granted I give you Jenas and Young but Bellamy was a damn good player but injury and his attitude let him down.

Jred - we will agree to disagree then mate as I have watched a lot of Spurs this season and I feel the lad has got some great attributes. I feel he will 99 per cent replicate this form next season barring serious injury.

12 Jun 2015 14:35:15
JMB,

I don't have to 'jump down your throat' on this one because I 100% agree with everything you said (I know, I know), unlike jred when I watch Kane I do think 'this boy has got it', he has everything I like in a striker, never stops running, works hard for the team and scores different types of goals. I have a feeling he will become a top player, but obviously I could be totally wrong.

I would be delighted if we signed him and so should everybody else, it would be a significant move from us.

after reading that i'm quite confidante i'm right , you have made my mind up.

he does work hard tho i will give you that .

12 Jun 2015 14:51:26
Glad to see we are in agreement here GDS. I for one feel he would be a great addition and one who I could see staying at a club for a long time unlike say a Pogba type player who will always be searching for his next pay day. Just chucked a little agree your way GDS as I know how pedantic you can get mate. Don't mention it.

12 Jun 2015 14:56:44
I think he is well worth the risk.

12 Jun 2015 14:59:38
HMMM for 50 million no thanks. for 20 to mid 20's then you say he is a gamble maybe worth taking. I guess flavour of the month now.

12 Jun 2015 15:02:20
a lot of people on the hype train for kane i see.
Any of you gentlemen care to explain how he and "the undroppable one" fit together in LVG's preferred formation?

12 Jun 2015 15:04:04
Following on from the ''He's English'' and He's young'' justifications, ''never stops running'' and ''works hard for the team'' we are definitely getting a linked to a striker well worth the suggested fees. He also has nice hair and wears nice boots.

12 Jun 2015 15:25:19
Jred,

Care to explain? My opinion on strikers (I am a striker myself by the way) not good enough for you?

12 Jun 2015 16:05:27
GDS, are you young? Do you work hard for the team? Do you never stop running? If so, I'll get you a move to a bigger team.

12 Jun 2015 15:52:53

lol ,if your a striker yourself i will pay a lot more attention in the future

12 Jun 2015 16:07:28
Jmb. I couldn't agree more. I would much rather have Kane than a reluctant benzema, untried Martinez, immobile manzucic.
People are arguing that he's a one season wonder. I can understand if Kane played a few good games them disappeared, like Januzaj has. However, Kane was banging them in all year. Headers, shots, inside and outside the box. He also knows how too link up play. I can see him with Rooney or mata playing behind.
Anyone who thinks he's going to disappear next year like Januzaj has is mistaken. One aspect that he's different to Januzaj is his character. He seems down to earth and has not let the excitement go to his head. I think Januzaj has. And before people jump on my head, I'm a huge Januzaj fan and I know he's going to come good next year.
All in all I think Kane will be an incredible addition to the squad. If we can get him for anything up to £40m then we should snap their hands off. We have also got Hernandez who spurs were interested in a couple of years ago, so that might be a good bargaining tool.

12 Jun 2015 16:23:34
jred,

I am totally confused, my opinion means so little to you that you made your mind up based on the fact I have watched him play and think he can be a top player, just because I disagree with your opinion doesn't mean we need the smart petty remarks you are famous for.

Ports,

Unfortunately I am none of them 3 things anymore, I think that is why I appreciate somebody who is!

12 Jun 2015 16:24:58
OK so from a spurs point of view on both kane and lloris, kane, has quoted that he is still young and learning and see's himself at spurs for a very long time, yes he is a spurs fan regardless of the pictures of him in a goon top when he spent a week there!! I honestly can't see him going to united. three factors I don't think he's ready to move ananywhere, he doesn't want to move anywhere and I don't think we will sell him!! Regarding lloris, we obviously think he's the best keeper in the prem and I don't think he would be appreciated by others unless he wore their shirts. now the talk from within whl is this! There are two contrasting stories doing the rounds, personally I know two players whom I coached as kids and both have no idea what he's doing. So I asked around A,both he and the club have promised each other one more season. If we get champions league he will review the situation. If we don't he can leave! B, should we sell now it will have to break the record fee for a keeper which is I believe around the £32 mill?? I think whoever it is will have to stump up around £35 million plus. No player exchange. Foot note on kane, the kid wants to learn and learn a year ago even the club gave him no chance. He likes to prove people wrong. Cheers

im in a humble mood pal so i going to give credit where it is due , i think your smart petty remarks are normally much better than mine.


on kane , i have voiced my opinion for a while, they are based on watching him.
but to be fair i played cm and not striker like yourself

12 Jun 2015 17:13:54
Brinkley,

Thanks for that information, much appreciated pal, always good to see fans from other clubs come and discuss potential players, sometimes difficult to see players every week which you obviously get to do with Kane and Lloris.

jred,

Ok

You fall in love with players for the media hype around them, You would actually sanction 70 mill for Pogba too. I have watched him probably 30 times this year and think it is madness to pay that sort of money for him. Good player and worth 40 mill but never anywhere close to what is being talked about.

Carvalho last year worth 40 mill this year probably hard to get 25 mill for him as he has struggled to remotely get close to being mentioned in the same lines he was being mentioned.

Goetze, Martinez at Bayern also come to mind and both have achieved a lot more than some of the names being touted around.

I could keep going but what is the point I guess. Spurs and Liverpool have suffered for years now buying overhyped players that have turned out to be tulips.

Only players in the current market worth that sort of money are Benzema and Cavani and 40 to 45 mill max. We are better off buying Depay type players at a reasonable price with huge potential than paying through the nose on unproven players on the promise of potential.

Even the guys we are being linked like hummels and Ottamendi are not worth anywhere near what the media is talking about. I can see us walking away from many if the numbers are true.

We already have one major screwup in Di Maria and a wage bill the size of mount everest, last thing we ned is to go berserk and start paying stupid money and wages on players that are some ways from being the guaranteed thing.
