Uh, recouping a world record fee is slightly different than losing the player for nothing.

Ex-Spurs Player Harry Kane

I'm talking about the footballing side of things.
I couldn't give two pisses in a pot about our finances. Kane's made the club more than hundreds of millions.
Then we're not speaking the same language here.
We can replace Kane in a broad sense, and you're right to point out that there's no like-for-like, it needs to be built from all over the squad.
But it will take an enormous amount of money to get players of the requisite quality.
He's probably got 4 or so years left as an elite footballer and another 4 as a useful one. He doesn't need a club that can win a trophy next season, just one that can win one soonish. That's almost guaranteed not to happen at Spurs, which is a club going in the opposite direction at the end of a golden era. That makes Man Utd, Liverpool, and even Newcastle better options for him -- if they get stuck in a rut, they'll spend until they're out of it.
The only thing I think about when it comes to Kane signing a new deal is how crazy it'll be when he becomes the greatest player of all time to win nothing. I think that title will be beyond dispute for a long long time. I'm with the masses who say he'd be crazy to sign another contract, despite the admirable loyalty, but it seems that loving a football team makes you a bit crazy.

United has been stuck in a rut and trying to spend their way out of it for a decade. If he wants to maybe win a cup, he could go there. I wouldn't go and expect more, though.
Remind me, when exactly was this 'golden era '. It seems to have passed me by.

Fair point, but they seem to be getting stronger again at the moment. They seem to me to be only a couple of pieces away from serious contention. Kane would take them that much closer.
You know exactly what I mean. Look at year-by-year results tables if you have to.
(By the by, I was being bitterly sarcastic when I called it a golden era. It's just like England's '00s "golden generation", who also should've done far better.)
now that is an impressive record!
thats the mark of an elite goal scorer, one that can score against all opposition and isn't just a flat-track bully.

Quite so.
They sacked the chairman whose mismanagement sunk them to such a lowly state. Perhaps that appeals.
Other than trying to beat Shearer’s record, he wants to win a trophy (possibly he’d prefer to win it with us).
His style of play isn’t about pace, so I think he still has about 4 or 5 years left in him as a player in the top leagues.
If we can get JN and also sign 4 or 5 top players to improve the starting eleven, there is a chance of winning silverware next season, especially as we don’t have any games in Europe and the players have more time to rest between games. If we can achieve this, there’s hope of Kane signing a new contract with us. If he leaves us this summer, then that opportunity is gone.
With less games, a top manager / coach and an improved squad, we also have a better chance of getting top 4/5 next season, for a CL spot for the season after next.
He has, arguably, been our most important player for the best part of the last decade.
I really hope that he is part of our squad next season.
It’s now Levy’s (and the board’s) turn to show how much they’d want to keep Kane here.

It’s all relative init
You are right. Using the Bale money, we ended up with Eriksen who was very important to our title challanges, and even Chadli and Lamela were useful players for a while.
We need that chance to replace him/upgrade the rest of the team.
Don't know if he will go abroad for his hols, Kate is pregnant. Caravan on Canvey Island it is then
Richards is rubbish. Wasted career, political hire.
Keown is a numpty.
The whole, “No trophies” argument was used by Liverpool fans back in the day to suggest Carragher was better than King. Do they even watch football? It’s not an argument that should be used by a pundit… it’s a guy in the pub argument at best.
Bet they will take him on a free if he bashes out another 30 next season. He can definitely play with Halaand
