If he isn’t prepared to sign a new contract this Summer, we simply have to sell him. It’s one of the few occasions where you really would want the club to look at the pure economics.

We’d get £80 million, plus move his £14 million a year off the books. That’s the same as a run pretty far into the CL.

We’d just be delaying the inevitable.

No way on God's Earth we get £80M for him, unless Chelsea offer it!
 
Is this true, Spurs not paying Poro's £45m release clause? If so Levy is cheap. FFS if he is a good player, pay the asking money and don't buy a cheaper replacement you c*ut.
What's £45m for a decent player in the PL today?!
This guy will never learn.

The other angle is can we add to the squad this month (haha) and the summer such that we supplement Kane and he goes out in a blaze of glory with us?

If we can get 4-5 good players in between now and the start of next season I think it's worth keeping Kane. This would be the Conte model and we would have to be challenging for the title in 2023/34. Woolwich went from 5th to 1st this season so why not us?

80m (if we actually get that) doesnt even buy you much today. It's one Gvardiol. I'd prefer Kane's goals for a season.
 
Do you think Penfold Pinhead regrets not signing Casemiro (and backing his manager) now he’s seen his impact, or quietly pleased he didn’t have to pay the fee / wages?

80m + is serious dosh.

Not sure that'll be on offer tho.....My prior comments are more on the basis of 40-50m..... Goals vs depreciation can often be whittled down to 1m per goal so it kinda fits...... But we'll see.

I really do think it will be there or thereabouts.
We will obviously value him as the best striker in the world. He’s the England captain. If UTD want him now, they can pay the premium or wait it out and see how their offer stacks up against Real/Bayern in the following Summer.

If the offer is 40-50, just keep him. No way Levy let’s him go to UTD for that sort of fee, with all our history with them. It would add insult to injury.

80 million is nothing to UTD. They can afford it.

They will be 3 points off the top by the weekend - they would be mad not to seize this opportunity and get him

He’s not going now. It will be this Summer.

It’s a complete Sophie’s choice; either outcome is awful. We lose our best player to the club that is genuinely our closest rival in terms of 4th/5th position over the last few years. Or keep him and demoralise everyone and have the club in limbo, watching him run down his contract. And then he likely goes to that same club for nothing.

I love VonnegutBusy VonnegutBusy idea of really trying to go out in a blaze of glory and do everything in our power to put players of his level around him, but there’s absolutely zero evidence of that happening.
