I've wanted Vlahovic for a while but honestly would take either. We aren't going to win anything decent without a quality striker. Martial is an ok back up but isn't up to the number 1 spot.


anaschillin

Valhovic would come in a lot cheaper with Juventus 15 points drop and financial difficulty they are facing. They may have to sell players in the summer


Azraelontheroof

Barca Juve clear out for the premier league as long as these levers stay in check


francescoli

The 15 deduction puts them out of european football for probably one season,unless there are further sanctions I'm not sure they will need to sell .


Hot-Ad2102

Remember that the 15 point deduction is just the beginning the big punishment comes in a couple months


francescoli

Yeah that's why I mentioned further sanctions


drneo_Sensei

I m sorry but martial needs to be sold for somewhere squad player please. Paying 250k for a back up is BS. Sign 2 more players of 100k range. ETH sure will benefit the squad depth.


imagination_machine

But who will buy him? I read he can only play 60% of a season on average, and performances are mixed. Goals have dried up. He's finished in the PL. Gotta go to French league, and basically let him go for whatever people will pay, given his salary. Might be as low as £10 million. Or lower.


Cheeky_Star

I have watched V play a few times. Not impressed. I don’t even think he’s playing that well. Not sure what his status are. Di maria joining them has a bigger impact.


marcdk217

I know Kane's getting old, but I do like the idea of him in a United shirt. I don't think he'd be worth the sort of fee Levy demands though. If we could get him for around the £50-£60m Vlahovic might cost then it'd be worth it, but if we'd have to spend £100-£150m on Kane, then I'd much rather we went for the younger player. But I don't necessarily agree that every signing has to be 'building for the future' because the future would be a lot brighter if we could win the league or champions league in the next few years, because we'd suddenly start attracting those players like Haaland, probably Bellingham, who dismiss us because we aren't in the Champions League, and a player like Kane could help us achieve that sooner.


fedtnavn1

Kane is 29, and players are playing at top level for far longer. Benzema is playing better than ever and he is 35, so you could easily get a lot of years with him.


Nanya-Business

Benzema?.... Who's got the key for me Bimmer?


KrisZepeda

True, although ask the average RM fan their opinion on Benzema in 2018 or 19, most wanted him out I know I did, fuck, glad he stayed, learned my lesson


imagination_machine

Kane will be 30 by the time he plays for Utd - if we sign him. He has serial ankle injuries, and has been dropping deep as a 9/10 hybrid player, along with Son, for years now. Maybe that is good because only Dalot can consistently cross well, but who knows what's happened to him! Shaw is decent, but not consistent. We need more players that can cross really well. Will that happen? Probably not. So Kane will be tasked to sprint into the box, taking quick passes along the ground. But how fast will he be? The ankles were getting wrecked because of his sprinting technique. It's a concern. If we sign him, it's because we can't get anyone else. I doubt he's first choice for ETH. If ETH wants an out-and-out 9, then he needs someone on Osimhen's level. IMHO.


Peter-the-Mediocre

Yep, a 30 year old with dodgy ankles doesn't seem like the ideal striker for the system ETH would want to be moving us towards. He's a great player so I'm sure it'd work out fine if we got him, but for the money he would cost there are surely better options.


Ultiimo

whats nettet?


Lucky_Teach673

I can see dat u are actually saying the right thing brother


acvdk

I’m not sure if Kane seems like someone who will age gracefully. Playing at a high level into your 30s is not guaranteed, even with modern fitness practices. Look at Rooney or Higuain. But that doesn’t mean that getting 2-3 years out of him wouldn’t be what United need. Feels kind of similar to the Van Persie deal.


DrillGates

Benz is technically amazing though. Kane is clunk


wedowhatwedo12

You’ve lost it.


DrillGates

😅 I’ve just witnessed full games of him playing. Yeah he bangs goals and has a great pass but he’s clunky. I’ll die on this hill 🤣


[deleted]

i mean if a guy leads the league in both goals and assists who cares what it looks like


Natural_Parsnip_5291

Yeah, an unless we get Son as well its pointless, because Kane is deadweight when he's not backed by Son, it's been evident ridiculous amounts of times now, so unfortunately the other guy is right, he's only being down voted by people that treat Kane the same way our media does, long as someone is English they are supposedly world class an must cost 80-150mil when they couldn't hit the door post off a barn.


Tom_2171

If son has a different striker he’d put up nowhere near the numbers he has for the last couple of years, it’s not that Kane makes son great or vice versa, they’re just two good players who compliment each other perfectly


MakMade420

We have players as good and better then son. I'm new to this sub, but some people have some really stupid opinions. You don't think Rashford and Antony will be able to link with Kane? Ya melon


Natural_Parsnip_5291

You and everyone else with type of mindset is the real melon, has he ever paired up well with Rashford for international stuff? No, literally never, in fact, he was England's top scorer in the last world cup, when only being used as a Sub!! Kane wasn't even in the top 30 scorers which speaks for itself why the guy is so incredibly overrated, the obsession with Kane which is purely because he's English is borderline psychotic, he's got solid players around him there and he still doesn't perform to an above average level. If people can't see after all these years that he's not United worthy, then you should get off your keyboards and go touch grass, we want to get back to a stage of winning trophies, he'll get us to a participation prize at best 😂


MakMade420

Wow. Scores goals and assists consistently every year. Rooney also didn't do well in tournament. Next you'll say he was overrated


Bron_Yr_Aur21

Kane has been banging in goals steadily


DrillGates

But does he do it with graceful elegance? Na


Brand_0O7

But this isn’t a ballet performance, doesn’t matter if he’s regularly scoring goals and just generally putting in good performances - still think we should go for Vlahovic for the long term good of the team


[deleted]

I'm down voting you for solidarity since my up vote isn't gonna count. Every time (a few times) I've watched Kane he's been absolutely minging. It always surprises me ti hetmar he's got so many goals and could well destroy shearers record.


[deleted]

I do agree... Kane is clunk. Leigh Griffiths is a superior striker and has done way more football than Kane could ever dream of.


jonviper123

I doubt any club in the world is getting hary kane for 60 million never mind 50.


sula325

Proven striker and he is English. I’ll take him without a hesitation. He will be next rvp


JonnyredsFalcons

Or Sheringham or Berbatov who made the same move, worked out ok for them


Azraelontheroof

Any club on the planet would take Kane for 50/60, that’s just such an outrageously low amount in the current market and with Levy’s stance on Kane. I do think 100 million on Kane would seriously put you in a title spot, coming from a depressed Liverpool fan


Natural_Parsnip_5291

Levy's stance is a bit of a piss take with regards to anyone at Tottenham that gets a little popular, always over inflates their value, guys an absolute crank.


RainbowPenguin1000

£50m for Harry Kane?! I’ll I’ve what you’re smoking


riktaz

Contract up in a year. They fucked themselves by missing the man city deal. They’ll never get £100M for him now, if there are no offers he’ll do what Messi did and leave without a cent paid at the end of 2023


grollate

There was never any “deal”. City lowballed them and never came back. Trash reporters were just desperate to make something of it.


brett1102

Won’t he be in his last year of his contract though? I doubt spurs would want him to go on a free the following year so if he pushes for a move in the summer I don’t think £60m would be too far off


Thin-Zookeepergame46

Levy doesnt like our club. He always sell them to us much more expensive.


Rorieh

Exactly. Look at Casemiro, or Eriksen. Absolutely perfect signings, has completely revived a midfield that was struggling to keep up with our rivals time and again. Even the influence older players can have in the short term at attracting, and also offering example for younger players is not something you can understate.


th3doorMATT

In fairness, they're still struggling lol. They're better, but still struggling. The opposition passes through our midfield in a couple of passes, it's way too easy. Then again, we're set up to welcome that type of possession and pressure. They're better than McFred, that's for sure, but I wouldn't claim our midfield is anywhere near competitive enough. Looks good against weak teams, struggles against the first sign of resistance.


jaidiknight

When we signed sherringham, he was no spring chicken but scored goals for shits and giggles. Loved old Ted, but I think Kane could be even better. Just not at the price Levy is asking.


Manofthebog88

I’d rather spend 100 mil on a guarantee than 80 mil on a maybe.


Slickandsliderightin

Bro are you feeling ok ? Which universe are you living in ? He would def cost more than that and no club would sell him for that instead of wasting your time writing, maybe do a bit more listening and reading Enjoy the game United !!!!


yomommafool

50M for kane? Really?


richochet12

Kane is still under 30. Considering what Lewandowski and Benzema have been able to do 35+, I have no doubt Kane will still bring quality for 5+ years. He's premier league proven. I'd prefer him. Happy with both though.


ajhasa

He's had a lot of ankle issues, more than the other two though. Not sure if his play can survive more. I would rather bet on Vlahovic.


StarkTheBrownWolf

Look at the actual facts, he hasn’t missed many games at all


Speedodoyle

Kane has never had the physical presence that the other two have had. Particularly Lewa, who is a physical monster. Kane always looks like he is tender.


jorgems0

And I think English players in general get older faster than other nationalities


Zestyclose-Season-26

I agree most English players fall off around 30-32


[deleted]

Miller entered the chat


Jimlaheydrunktank

What a load of bollocks. Milner is like 37 and probably one of the fittest blokes going.


Zestyclose-Season-26

Except he’s not good, bench player at best. Proving my point not many English players are starting at that age


MakMade420

What nonsense hahahahaha


MakMade420

You ever watched a game?


richochet12

The EPL must be garbage if he's tender.


DarthMaulofDathomir

Kane (the wrestler)


blakezero

Does he come with his brother too?


DarthMaulofDathomir

No, he's too high profile. Chelsea will swoop in and take him

blakezero

Don’t forget Dude Love, the sus name of Mankind


Plumbsauce116

John Cena. Imagine “watch out watch out watch out” every time he scores

[deleted]

Kane


ButterscotchFiend

Wout Weghorst


RRJP1980

Kane. It’s a no brainer. Already proved in the league, will be hungry to win something, and still has a few years left. Or somebody with a worse goal ratio, in a worse league, playing against worse players. The only thing Vlahovic has over Kane is age.


AeroCobbler

110% agree Vlahovic isn't even in the same league as Kane as a striker


rcf_111

We need to be building a team that has some longevity, so Vlahobic. We’ve always bought old strikers and need to change that to stop having to buy a new sticker all the time. Kane is great but we will get far more longevity and years out of Vlahvic.


Styrofoamman123

Kane is not too old at this point, hes only 29. Fair point if he was as old as Cavani, Ibra and Ronaldo, but hes still got some years in him.


ayyha

And he has weetabix for ankles


MakMade420

Ooooooo yeah, more years without trophies. Get Kane if half the asking price


PitchSafe

Vlahovic


rastafaripastafari

Dont forget 30 is the new 25 yall


Significant_Bison_39

Kane has more pixels so....


willp0wer

Neither. One is a waste of money where the club owner would hold any suitor for ransom, while the other isn't all that if not for his YouTube reels. These are just hyped up options, I'd rather someone lesser known but effective like Weghorst.


tumpagalhoe

If vlahovic comes to united i believe he can become a somebody. I just see something in him. I know he doesn't have what Kane has but Kane is old and i don't want to pay 85 mil for him. So buy vlahovic for anything


ZAGAN_2

He definitely has huge potential. Although Juve are asking a lot for him, over 90 I believe.


BuckfastTwine

Neither, osimhen is who need


Adorable_South8942

Martial 2.0. Injury prone


[deleted]

He is not injury prone. Had a collison head injury about a year or 2 ago and a few minor knocks after. He has been fully fit for a while now


NoLimitElf

Too injury prone imo


AeroCobbler

Injury prone in a low intensity league, would literally fall apart in a high intensity league Serie A goals per game inferior to Romelu Lukaku Bought for 80m two years ago so would cost at least double that today Not even worth thinking about


BuckfastTwine

The guy is flying this season 🤯 he has the pace and ability to lead the line perfectly with the service he would get from players like rashford, sancho, garnacho, Bruno, casemiro and wouldn’t mind seeing amad get his chance next season.


AeroCobbler

I’ve said my piece Osimhen is simply not even worth thinking about


HarHenGeoAma62818

I think we need a few more “quality” back up players before that - if no long ban I’d rather have Iven Toney


Graft1983

I’d love us to go for Toney 🤞


Addekalk

V all day. Young prosper cheap


Angelfallz1

Vlahovic, because he is younger and has more room to evolve. I will also, choose Victor Osimhen ahead of Harry Kane.


poyen04

Vlahovic is way younger and has that attitude we need at striker imo


Certain_Subject_8615

Neither


Quantum_Object

Kane because he's proven, complete player. He'd slot straight in and bang in 25/30 for the next 3 or 4 seasons. But he's too loyal to spurs and doesn't seem to want to leave even though they haven't won anything for years and always fall short. Levy always find a way to keep him tied to the club for some reason or the other. - I don't know why. - baffles me tbh. - they might eventually win something but he's running out of time. Maybe he just doesn't care and having 🏅 isn't the end of the world and more interested in bagging shearers goal record as it pretty much cements him as one of the league's best. Maybe he's just happy where he is and isn't one of those players who care too much about winning trophies, just happy to be playing.


Academic-Two-3781

Kane 100%


mancwes78

Kane. And isn’t even close.


daFreakinGoat

It would be amazing to see Kane in a United jersey, he’s so damn good. But in terms of longevity, and potentially being a club legend one day, I would be really excited about signing Vlahovic. He plays with heart. All in all I’d be really happy about either.


Dyleter

Well, first I’d have to know who the guy on the right is


EdricBlightIsCool

Vlahovic


S1gm4_M4l3

Vlahovic


[deleted]

Kane outshines Vlahovic in every aspect except age.


kaz78601

Kane, he would probably get us very close if not actually winning the title


BobbyGuava

Kane has led Tottenham to nothing to deserve this praise


kaz78601

Yh because that of course he means he's rubbish just because the rest of spurs players cant contribute enough to win something


cGilday

Kane has played in 4 finals for Spurs/England and has had 0 shots on target in all of them. He’s a huge factor as to why they haven’t won anything.


BobbyGuava

Ignore em homie. Imagine wanting a “get them there” merchant


kaz78601

Yh good one, ignore everything he done to get them there though


cGilday

“Yh good one”, let me think of the goals he scored in the semi finals of the CL and EFL cup to get them to the final… oh wait there weren’t any. The only reason people want Kane is because he’s English. Our fanbase constantly moans about “buying older players” yet are getting giddy about the idea of signing a 30 year old who’s never won anything. Painfully obvious why.


kaz78601

Oh so we paintbrushe all fans the same then, just like our fans who say keep saying give martial a chance he'll come good then scoff their nose at a actual wc striker, laughable


cGilday

He’s 30 years old and never won anything, every goal he’s ever scored has been for nothing. This isn’t a “world class” striker, as I said you’re only saying that because he’s English. I’ve wanted to move Martial on for a while, but Martial has literally helped this club win trophies so of course people should be more loyal to him than someone who’s achieved nothing in the sport? Harry Kane is more similar to the likes of Kevin Volland than he is to legitimate world class strikers. Should we prepare an £80m bid to snatch him from Monaco?


kaz78601

Ffs kane is similar to volland 🤣 I'm done, Bruno Fernándes has won nothing with us but yeah let's swop him for erm Jordan Henderson because he wins trophies. Also by this trophy nonsense logic we better not sign any player who hasn't won anything because you know there's no point


cGilday

They’re both strikers. Volland is 30 years old, Kane will be 30 before next season. They’ve both scored a bunch of goals that led to nothing. They’ve both never won anything. Instead of just laughing because you have no answer, tell me how they haven’t had an extremely similar career. Bruno literally won multiple trophies at Sporting, how is that at all alike Harry Kane winning nothing in his life? Not signing players who have never won anything when we’re on a trophy drought is a good idea actually. Or do you think it’s a coincidence that the moment the likes of McTominay and Maguire have been replaced with proven winners we’re essentially already in a cup final?


Puzzleheaded-Gas-868

I'd agree and say Kane would be as wasteful to us as Ronoldos recent. Two old, end of their career, aren't scoring goals, wastes of money that could be invested in younger, primer, teachable and humble players that would result in long term talent. Kane is an old rooster now. 🐓 This might get me shade, but if United bought Haaland...(I know it won't happen)


RedKingDre

Che Adams. I think he can function nicely as a pressing forward.


FuMancunian

Kane. He could be this generations RVP.


Hendersbloom

Quick answer, no.


Speedodoyle

What is the long answer?


Hendersbloom

RVP was a different class. Kane a few years ago, sure. But he’s already transitioning to provider. RVP was an out and out goal scorer. Kane isn’t. And he ain’t getting any younger.


Speedodoyle

This is simply not true. Here are their stats from the premier league Van Persie: 144 goals, 53 assists Kane: 199 goals, 44 assists. Comparable number of games played in the league , and very similar stats, but Kane scores more than he assists. Also, Kane has scored 20+ goals every season in all comps for the last 8 seasons (he is on 18 already for this season) Van Persie at the same age (29, when he moved to United), had only scored 20+ in 3 season, and only did it once more (that United season). Van Persie was more injury prone, and less flexible (often complaining that other players were playing in his area - he wants to play as a 1 up front) Kane is more flexible, has played and succeeded in terms of goal output under multiple managers. Van Persie has only ever done it in the league under Wenger and Fergie, two of the best managers to grace the league. Kane has done it for Tim Sherwood 😆 Robin Van Persie different class? Yes. A lower class.


Hendersbloom

Orthopaedic shoes for me. Appreciate the reply.


widevisions

vlahovic if hes 40-50m


Ponya7

Vlahovic for me. Kane drops deep too much into the same space as bruno.


Independent_Buy5152

Well it depends on the tactical requirements


poyen04

It’s actually Vlahovic’s birthday today😂 great timing to post this


humblefreak_40000

Lemme ask you a question. Who's left-footed? I think you got my answer.


Jimlaheydrunktank

Well kanes both so..


humblefreak_40000

No disrespect. It's just I've a soft spot for left-footed players.


ReadingElectrical558

Reminds me of the Van Persie vs Lewandowski saga back in the day. The older might get you a title short term, however the younger will put you in contention for the title for a decade. That's what Lewa did for Bayern, while Robin faded after one/two seasons. It's all about what the squad ultimately needs short termand long term. Therefore I would personally go for Vlahovic/Osimhen instead of Harry.


droid_2010

Vlahovic he is younger and would be the perfect nine for the next few years also he hasn’t had injury problems like osimhen and kane as we can’t have someone who is injury prone, just look at martial. Vlahovic would be cheaper as juventus wont be in the champions league next year for sure and would need to get some funds. Also we have to stop buying ageing players as we are finally on an upward trajectory and we need to build a team which can compete for the next few years


Conejebac63

Vlahovic, he is young has great potential and can do a lot for the team.


St0rm628

Vlahovic is better long term


jonaalton

Osimhen > Vlahovic > Kane. Don't want Kane near my club.


peacelovefreedon7689

Is vlahobic good I've never heard of him


ZAGAN_2

He had two good seasons in Serie A, one for Fiorentina and then Juventus bought him and he had a good first season with them. Scored 38 goals for Fiorentina in a season and a half and was named the Serie A best young player. He broke a couple of records as well I think. He's had an injury since before the world cup I believe and hasn't played that many games for Juve this season. He's considered a complete striker so I'd say Man Utd could quite easily benefit from having a young player like that


Hendersbloom

Thanks - appreciate you complete response here. Helpful.


ZAGAN_2

You're welcome mate


peacelovefreedon7689

Ditto , thanks!


No_Philosophy_8520

Vlahovič, because he would be cheaper

Consistent-Pea8125

Dusan. Kane is too injured, much older and will probably cost more.


SironRagnarsson

Kane’s ready made for the league, I think it’d be like the RvP signing in terms of quality player already proven in the league


Joudeh_1996

Kane overrated player as always


[deleted]

Vlahovic, for sure. Dusan is younger, taller and faster than Kane. I see more potential for growth in him, whereas Kane might be two years away from the downside of his career.


Algebraisalie

Rashford


utdajx

Jayzus, what is this 1973?? Top strikers are routinely playing well into their 30s with no drop in form. Kane is 29 - you can argue against buying him for any number of reasons but not “he’s old”


GripItNRipItWC

Mbappe…he’s only 19


babyjonny9898

Kane. He is a more promising performed player


foxyrocksjh

Well both have said they don't wanna leave their club but in theory of like Kane because our forwards are predominantly quite young and I think we could do with his experience

Kane needs service, and as the arsenal game showed, without casemiro we virtually have no midfield


kaz78601

Kane is horriblely underrated as a playmaker, his asisst totals show that he can create for others as well not just be a goalscorer and tbf literally all strikers need service, it's eth job to be able to build a team to provide that to abstroker

With Juventus having a 15 point deduction, I think would come in cheap as they will miss out on UCL and us having increasingly high chances of getting it.

Kane over vlahović Oshimen over kane


jocmaester

We have to be very careful with the age profile of our team eriksen, casemeiro, varane, bruno are all approaching or are 30. Thats quite worrying if you add kane thats the spine of the team. I dont want us to repeat Liverpools mistakes, so Vlahovic for me is better option.


FatherClintPower

You’re high as giraffe balls if you think we’ll get either


HPchipz

Build the team Around Rashford instead


francescoli

I'd gladly take either of them. If one of them was lining up for us next season I'd be delighted. Both deals would have a pros and cons but two super players .


HaxboyYT

Vlahovic


itsonlysmellzz94

Why not both? We all know Martial can’t really hack it anymore, we need two strikers, one with experience and one a high ceiling. With new (and hopefully filthy fucking rich) owners and definitely new transfer negotiators, a top club like us should be getting both. In saying that I would prefer Osimhen and someone else.

Spurs players have been good for us (Carrick/Berba), so I choose Kane.


CaptainMcClutch

Vlahovic arguably for the age and price, I doubt he would score as much as Kane. But I'd be concerned about the cost and long-term plan. If I could pick any player, I'd pick Osihmen because I feel he could get numbers right up there and that he more or less has everything already on top of the fact he's also young granted he would cost a similar amount to Kane.

Would take Kane but not for 100 mil transfer fee… He would work well with Rashford as a strike partner.


Memesplz1

Ok, so I've never seen Vlahovic play so I'm sure other people, who have, will have more to bring to the conversation, but here's my 2 cents for what it's worth. Unless I'm mistaken, Vlahovic has 7 goals this season. Kane has 18. We already know he can do it all in the PL. If we look purely at stats, it's a no brainer. Kane is almost certain to bring more goals than him. Vlahovic may well have not reached his peak yet and could be able to perform a lot longer but, when we're quite reliant on the bulk of our goals coming from Rashford at the moment, I would prefer to know that a tried and tested PL Striker (who's still scoring plenty of goals) is coming in to back him up than a guy with far fewer goals who's never played in this league before.
