I wouldn't put it past us. CAS has reignited a fire for Khaldoon and I can see him approving what we need no matter the cost. Just because we fucking can, and if we can. We do.

I’m not so sure, I think we will still be very wary of making huge sum transfers. They will continue to pull out of the market if they feel a fee is too high.
Whilst I’m sure everyone around the club will be buzzing due to our CAS case, behind the scenes will be business as usual.
 
I'd speculated about Kane as a target for some time as he fits the bill in many ways for what we could really use up front.

Also feeling a bit like Nostradamous given I suspected Arsenal and Everton would be the most ideal Stones destinations before reading any rumour.

Not that those are not terribly surprising.

Also I can't imagine the press will be chuffed that England's main player and captain plays for City

From the outside the idea alone sounds unthinkable.
OBE Harry Kane, the Royal London boy, moving up north.
Hollywood stuff. Amazon already in for the rights.
But he surely couldn't do that, could he?

Kane is a top striker but he’s a sick note. Multiple serious ankle injuries already and only going to get worse with age.

We have a terrible record in regards to injuries and don’t need another injury prone player specially at that price.

Rather wait for Mbappe. Contract up in 2022, not looking like signing a new one.

We can go head to head with Real for him next summer. PSG will not let him go for free.

The chance of Mbappe coming seems fanciful as much as it pains me to say this. Real Madrid the FAR more likely destination.
 
Kane has had his injury troubles but has had to carry Spurs and England. He's a world class striker, his record is phenomenal considering Spurs aren't blessed with world class players like we are. We could afford to rest him more than they can, which would ensure he can play for longer and not aggravate his ankle. I can't see it happening, purely because he seems to committed to Spurs despite their lack of success. But it would be a quality signing.

You're dealing with Qatar Sports Investments here. Not in a million years would they sell us Mbappe, even we offer them 1 billion. The hatred between Qatar and UAE is the most vicious I've ever seen from that region.

No he wouldn’t as he has a 60 odd million release clause next year. Raiola doesn’t have a 40 m cut either- not sure where you got that from. Dortmund wouldn’t agree to sell him for what they paid after developing him they aren’t daft.

You do know Mino has had £15m upfront from Dortmund don't you.

Oh, and another £10m went to Haaland's old man.

The commissions were front loaded and Dortmund will pay Mino another £15m when he is transferred again.

Dortmund paid well over the original £20m buy out clause and the supposed £60m buyout clause next year has also been redrafted.

You're Right, Dortmund aren't that daft - nor to agree a £60m sale when they still owe £15m more to his agent.
