managerdude_66 Posted August 6, 2015 Share Posted August 6, 2015 Fairly sure £40m could be spent in many far wiser ways than on Harry Kane, for reasons that have been said many times over in this thread. That's just the price one must pay for him being English and for doing business with Levy. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Pangaea Posted August 6, 2015 Share Posted August 6, 2015 Fairly sure £40m could be spent in many far wiser ways than on Harry Kane, for reasons that have been said many times over in this thread.Anyway, Di Maria officially gone. Glad to see the back of the pillock, and frankly it would be hilarious to see him fail at PSG, if I'm honest. Agree tbh, but more likely we'll ask ourselves why we let such a great player leave after just one season. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
ajw10 Posted August 6, 2015 Share Posted August 6, 2015 Why would anyone not want Kane? He is a great prospect and already very good. I heard that you think that he's already better than Thierry Henry. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
craigcwwe Posted August 6, 2015 Share Posted August 6, 2015 Would love Kane at United. Would take upwards of £40m though and there is the risk that last season was a one off and that he won't be able to sustain it but I personally think he can.

craigcwwe Posted August 6, 2015 Share Posted August 6, 2015 Disappointing that the di Maria move didn't work out as he is a great player but he clearly didn't want to be at the club and he would have joined PSG over us last summer for an easier time if he could have. He could have stayed and fought for his place as he has the quality of course to be one of if not the first names on the team sheet but he has decided not to do that. Oh well. Don't want players at the club that don't want to play for us. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

craigcwwe Posted August 6, 2015 Share Posted August 6, 2015 *except DDG Let him leave if he doesn't want to play for the club. Would be sad to see him go of course because he's a great keeper but if he doesn't want to stay then sell him. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
RSB Posted August 6, 2015 Share Posted August 6, 2015 Why would anyone not want Kane? He is a great prospect and already very good. Because it's an awful lot of money for someone with one successful season behind them. See Andy Carroll for the easiest lazy example off the top of my head. Still rather spend c. £40m on Kane than c.£60m on Cavani mind. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
adhikapp Posted August 6, 2015 Share Posted August 6, 2015 Would rather spend 40M on a defender than on Kane. We could gamble on Hamez Wilson and Hernandez anyways to be back up for Rooney. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Crazy_T Posted August 6, 2015 Share Posted August 6, 2015 huge gamble and stupid money for a guy who has literally one season under his belt, as good as it was. i'm a bit undecided cos i'm not sure how good he really is... so i'm leaning towards AVOID.

Crazy_T Posted August 6, 2015 Share Posted August 6, 2015 yeah but rooney was a clear-cut exceptional talent with two full seasons behind him at the top level as a 16/17 or so year old. he was also a senior international at this time. kane's had a bunch of mediocre lower league loan spells and one full legit season at spurs.

RSB Posted August 6, 2015 Share Posted August 6, 2015 Yeah Rooney had just beasted the Euros when we signed him, and was clearly much more than just a finisher. Kane's in the Marcus Stewart/James Beattie/Andy Johnson bracket until he shows last season wasn't a one off. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Icondacarver Posted August 6, 2015 Share Posted August 6, 2015 Di Maria and Falcao come to Manchester United and leave without making so much as a ripple.

themadsheep2001 Posted August 6, 2015 Share Posted August 6, 2015 £40m is a very high price for Kane, I'm fairly sure he has good ability but I think even with another good season behind him he won't get more expensive than that. What worries me is I've seen him a few times for England youth sides and he's looked a little bit like he cracks under pressure. But when he's comfortable he's got all the tools required to be a very good striker. Can't see us signing him. Pedro will improve us and then I think we should be a bit patient and look for the next big attacking prospect rather than ***** our money on gambles. Unless Ronaldo, Bale etc come available. United aren't interested in whether he is available, they will just keep chasing that dream anyway... Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Not willing to pay an extra few million for Hazard worked out well, eh? Not willing to even pay £25k a week for pogba worked out well? We are talking about small money with huge gains. Pay £35m or £40m doesn't matter too much as long we get the player. Missing out on CL, that costs the club huge in money and reputation. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Sid1984 Posted August 7, 2015 Share Posted August 7, 2015 Unnecessarily overpaying and needing to pay a few extra million is completely different. Fellaini had a release clause of £23m but we missed the deadline and paid an extra £4.5m. Not willing to pay an extra £5m for Hazard, now that was necessary. Falcao we all know was a gamble. We overpaid for Di Maria. But these two signings are not as close to being as bad as what we lost in Hazard and Pogba. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Sid1984 Posted August 7, 2015 Share Posted August 7, 2015 We have overpaid a bit for Schneiderlin and Schweinsteiger this season.

Sid1984 Posted August 7, 2015 Share Posted August 7, 2015 If Johnstone's performances mean that we don't have to buy a new keeper than I will be very happy. I have a feeling De Gea has stuck a deal with Madrid to be signed on a free contract at the end of the season. This way it saves Madrid a lot of money and he gets a big signing on fee. Otherwise there would be no reason to not hand in a transfer request. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Sid1984 Posted August 7, 2015 Share Posted August 7, 2015 De Gea is treating the club pretty badly. It would be much better if he went AWOL like Di Maria.

Bootador Posted August 7, 2015 Share Posted August 7, 2015 Seems really odd from the outside, unless his head is all over the place (typically when a move is way further down the line than this) there's no reason not to play him. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
