As nojok states, i can see Yanited or even someone else throwing £100million at Spurs for Kane (3rd season in a row now 20 goals a season) who is 23 years old.

They have done very well to coach through a Harry Kane and scout and find Alli, but they now get a huge test to keep them whilst financing bigger things ala Stadium and giving the wages to these players to keep them.

Who cares how much United throw at Spurs for Kane or anyone else? They won't be sold domestically, guaranteed. After Berbatov, Levy will never sell to a domestic rival again.

edit: same goes for those crazy tabloid stories about Pep wanting Dele, Rose and Walker. Don't make me laugh.

Really you think you be able to reject £100million for Kane from Yanited? No way, now Berbatov thing i understand that was different last day of the window crap. But if June 1st Yanited offer £100million i can't see Levy turning that down at all. If Pep wants Alli the same and you get a 50-90million bid for him too then again i can't see it being rejected. I don't even think Chelsea are gonna reject any bids for Hazard in that £100million bracket either personally. I don't know, i'd like to ask Conte the question but he seems like a type of manager that would ask the player first. I don't know on that one.

We'll agree to disagree but I guarantee Levy wouldn't sell Kane to Utd for £100m.

Fair enough then, but he would sell to Real/Barca in your opinion for that much? I think one of those two clubs could come calling as well. I'd personally want him to stay in England but not with enemy no1 :3

True, but im sure there is alot of talent out there, 4-5 players for that kinda fee to keep them competitive for top 4.

Yeah, they can sell them and say 'we don't care about winning the league'. I understand that as a Chelsea fan you'd be happy about them showcasing that attitude, but most people just want more teams to be top contenders. The top teams are oversaturated with money anyway, but world class players are in shorter supply than ever (because more teams have become wealthy enough to compete for them).

I'd think it was a fucking tragedy if Alli or Kane went to real or barcelona or bayern and ended up not being fielded for whatever reason (and as good as they both are, those three teams bench equally good players week in and out). And they'd be pretty damn hated, rightfully so, if they went from a title challenging tottenham to some other english team that's currently worse, or to chelsea.

I don't think RM/Barca would come in for Kane but Dele is a different story. If they offered something close to a record fee for him, it would be hard to turn down. I hope they don't, not just as a supporter but also because he's not ready for that kind of move yet. He needs two more years to mature and develop in my opinion...definitely at least one more.

edit: He's also not worth that much money yet (obviously), but that's what it would take to buy him.

Yeah, Isco had a good day today, what the hell a player of his caliber is doing on the bench? It's a loss for football.

Haha they kinda did ok in the end not selling him to Arsenal, now that would have been a funny reality if that happened! Imagine Arsenal with Suarez 2-3 years ago xd

Alli isn't good enough for Barca/Real, sure he scores goals but that isn't what they want from a midfielder. Rodriguez can't even get into the team as a goal-scoring midfielder with much better technical skills than Alli

3 seasons in a row 20+ goals, 23 years of age, counts as a homegrown player (in which you need 7 in your 23 squad) i think that makes him in that bracket easily.

Anyone taking money on United 1:1 Chelsea?

Spurs would be dumb as fuck if they did another Bale and sold Kane or Alli for that matter. Their utility to the club is worth far more than their price on the transfer market.

The market has changed massively. I looked at Panda's claim that Kane was worth 100million skepticaly for about 2 seconds before I realised he might be rightt. So many more clubs have 100million to flash around these days that he might just be worth that kind of money. 3 years ago no way but the Market has changed.

I was going to make the claim that so many clubs need that 20+ goals forward right now aswell. But after a little think I feel Arsenal, United and Liverpool are in need. Alexis Sánchez actually has 18 goals and is destined to get at least 20 this year, but is he a true out and out goal scorer? United have Zlatan but his bones will start to creak if he doesn't wonder of to MLS anyway, Liverpool seem to play a little different scoring goals from more around the place but I'm sure Klopp would love a 20+ goal striker if he could find one under the sofa.
City apparently have two if Guardiola realy thinks Jesus is his saviour and let's Aguero go (he would be out of his mind to do this, but if Aguero isn't number one choice I don't see him staying). But if Aguero, Lukakue and maybe Kane are on the market it's actually a bit of a buyers market.

Lukakue should stay at Everton in my mind it's just a good fit. But he seems despreate to leave.

edit: Today is a big test for United if they get an unexpected win it really throws thm in to the top 4 race. Liverpool and CIty will be looking over their shoulders. Arsenal ain't going to make it.

Which is kinda funny because Zidane was so lazy when it came to your average championship/qualifier game, on the other hand he was on another level when the game was important. If it was a friendly game, he barely tried.
