What's people's opinions should we sign kane?

Not at the reported £200 million.

{Ed004's Note - Not for anything over 100 mill. I would also still rather get a rw, cdm and cb instead. Think they would improve us more}

Yeah, I think he would fit in nice with Bruno feeding him and pace around him, I think Kane could do with a fresh start tbh to reinvigorate him, I think he would be team player at OT rather than trying to drop deep and do it all like he does now at Spurs, although I do worry about his injuries.

{Ed004's Note - How much have injuries had an impact on Kane though? He was never flying quick to start with but his goals to game has been rapidly declining last few seasons}

One of the best strikers in the world imo . I would like to see him in a united shirt.

No, we shouldn't. We can't afford to spend so much on a position which we have first team starters already. We need to look at the problem positions first. For now we can buy a back up striker.

Top striker. i'd like to see him at United for sure.
There would have to be some sacrifices. i'd be delighted to go into next season with Kane and greenwood as our primary 2 striking options backed up by rashford as a 3rd option.

Without a doubt one of the best strikers in the world. That said, his injuries seem to be catching up with him. Spurs have struggled the last couple of seasons because Kane has spent at least two months out injured. He also seems to be less of a team player, shooting when there are better options.

When you consider that he would cost over 200m plus signing on fees, agents fees and wages he would cost us 500m over the course of his contract.

I'm not sure anyone is worth that. Certainly not a player who might be on the decline due to persistent injuries.

Shappy on the decline? He is 26, torn a hamstring which happens and done his ankle from a poor tackle.

No thanks and no where near as good as some of you think he is.

For 200 mill you can go and grab Mbappe and i'd rather do that.

Salah who is not even a striker has scored same amount as Kane in the premier league for the last 2 or 3 years.

Kane, although a lethal goal machine, I think signing him would do more harm than good.
Martial is finally getting games consistently as a no.9 and you could see he was growing in to the role. He’s also building a strong partnership with Bruno and I think he’ll pick up and continue improving. Signing Kane I think would have a massive negative impact. Martial either sold or becomes unhappy, Kane reducing the fluidity of our young attack. I’d rather us be using that money to sign Sancho, Ighalo and a cdm. Sancho, Rashford, martial, greenwood, ighalo imo is a good enough attack and mouthwatering.

No thanks - don't think he suits uniteds counter attacking style and I think better younger options will become available.

Spending 200m on a 27 year old would be madness and for me could be a similar mistake to Sanchez.

Jred, the definition of decline is

" (typically of something regarded as good) become smaller, fewer, or less; decrease".

Harry Kane's goal record over the past 6 seasons.

14/ 15 = 31
15/ 16 = 28
16/ 17 = 35
17/ 18 = 41
18/ 19 = 24
19/ 20 = 17

(although this season isn't finished at the time the league suspended Kane was out injured do had it carried on as it was I think it's unlikely that Kane would have scored 18-24 more goals in the final 9 games) .

You see where I'm going with this? I said
"Certainly not a player who might be on the decline due to persistent injuries. "

His goal output has declined in the past two seasons, mostly due to him not being able to stay fit.

Bale when fit is a great player, but he struggles to stay fit now. Kane MIGHT be going the same way. Or it could just be a couple of seasons hit by injuries. Either way 200m in transfer fees, while a whole package probably worth around 500m seems one hell of a gamble. One I don't think we need to make.

Shaply he has had 2 injuries in the last 2 season which is why his goal ratio wasn't as high, but his general play has been good, I don't really see a decline, lads still only 26 and reportedly looks after himself .
To separate injuries as well one from a bad tackle . So I don't buy the persistent injury crap either.

Like all transfer I don't know why fans try to get involved with money .

Martial? should never lead the line alone for a side hunting for top honours. He's not good enough.

If there was a part exchange between Kane and Martial it would be Martial plus £170/ 180m (based on the ridiculous quoted fee banded about) for him. He's not very good.

Jred, which is why I said "might" be. Until Kane manages a season injury free we won't know if the injuries have effected him.

He might go the way of RvP who was an injury concern when we signed him. Or he could go the way of Saha and struggle to stay fit long enough to be considered a success.

On the whole I agree that transfer fees shouldn't be a key concern when considering players. However, it is clear that we don't have a bottomless pit of money to bring in players. 200-250m is probably the maximum the club has to spend, which means if we sign Kane at best we would only be able to sign one more player.

So the difference between signing Kane or Ighalo say could be the difference between us strengthening 2 positions or 4. The question then would be is Kane so good that he improves the team to the point where we don't need 4 players?

Kane, Rashford, Sancho and Bruno would be lethal and would easily challenge any of the top sides in terms of fire power.

But at the moment, I would prefer Sancho to fill the big hole in RW.
One more chance for Martial to lead the front line rotating with Greenwood/ Ighalo.

Firstly I cannot see Levy or Mourinho allowing Kane to do a RVP and weaken their team and improve a direct rival in this country. Secondly if Kane is looking to become a more rounded player and person he should be going abroad to live and play with a new culture. Thirdly if he comes how will this help Greenwood a really talented youngster who needs more game time. If Kane comes he will be first choice with Rashford second and Martial second equal or third. Greenwood will be fourth. don't get me wrong I would be thrilled to see Kane spearheading our challenges for trophies but wonder long term if it is the best option.

One more point. Kane has probably rushed back from injuries too quickly as Spurs didn't have sufficient cover for him. If he were to come to Old Trafford I hope they would protect him better resuktimg in him scorimg more goals overall.
