Agree, but it doesn't have to be a serious tackle if you're already fragileEvery player is always one bad tackle away from ending his career
I think it more likely that a player of his undoubted quality Who has played always in prem league would manage to transfer his qualiTies to city, than an equally talented player from overseas.And what would his resale value be?. Kane has been fantastic for Spuds, there is no guarantees he will transfer that. He may be one bad tackle from retirement with his dodgy ankles.
mbappe for instance, what guarantees are there he will be as effective in the prem. We take a chance with everyone.
Injuries are a valid issue, and his lisp and ‘sir Harry persona’ are definite negatives, but I could live with them especially as he’ll be a failed England captain if played for us.

Why on earth would his lisp and his kind of up-tight persona be a negative?

Same as Shearer’s was to Newcastle and they paid a then world record for him. No resale value in the likes of Yaya and Dinho but you’d be getting the best goal scorer of his generation as he enters his prime years. The silly amount of goals he’d score in this side and the titles that followed would make his fee great value.

Comes down to risk v reward. We already outscored most, so not signing, him wouldn't be that much of an issue for meSame as Shearer’s was to Newcastle and they paid a then world record for him.

Us outscoring the league every year is a bit misleading because we win a lot 5/6/7/8-0, but its not in those games we struggle. Its the games that are tight and decided by one goal where we need that clinical finish when Kun is missingComes down to risk v reward.

he would be the ideal replacement for aguero
not fit to lace Aguero's boots
We have to play what I would called 15/20 serious games a season, ie teams that will give us a real match, the rest of the games it's just a matter of how many we score.Us outscoring the league every year is a bit misleading because we win a lot 5/6/7/8-0, but its not in those games we struggle.

The serious games are the problem, the matches were we have to take the chances, something this season we have failed to do far too often. Our defence is rightly criticised, but I think our strikers/ AMF are just as guilty.
With the service he'd get at City,I can only seeing him score a shit load.
As others have said though,injuries would be a worry.
Saying that though,I think he gets pushed to play at Spuds and I don't see Pep doing that.

Exactly his worst seasons forpremier league appearances are 28 and 29 starts.So hardly the sick note he’s being painted as with Pep’s rotation he probably wouldn’t be picked to start for 8/9 league games anyway.

His goal record and hold up play beg to differ. Prime Aguero of a few years ago and I’d agree but he certainly could match Sergio for contribution now and would probably beat him for goals in a great side.

stats mean nothing.
Sergio has played against 10 man packed defences for at least the last 3 seasons
Hold up play isnt something we require...linking play is and Sergio has adapted very well to that....he is more mobile than Kane whereas Kane is a purely central striker and the main man whereas Sergio (again for the last 3 seasons) hasnt been - he is part of a unit.
Ask anyone in the game besides your most diehard spurs fans who they would rather have - Aguero or Kane and id bet virtually every football fan baring those spurs fans would say Aguero
People seem to be righting Aguero off cause he is injured - his goal scoring this season wasnt looking too shabby before that injury (think he was maybe 1 goal behind Raheem at the time or something like that)

If Aguero leaves next Summer, as I expect him to do, we are going to be left in the shit and faced with paying well over the odds trying to replace him.
We really need to foresee this situation and get somebody in this Summer.
For me, Kane is an absolute guaranteed success here. He works his bollocks off at Spurs. I'd be shocked if he wants to be there anymore with zero prospects of winning trophies.

I'm sure if we were in serious talks this would be impossible to disguise. Leaks all over the media
We play far more games than Spurs and at much quicker intense tempo.With the service he'd get at City,I can only seeing him score a shit load.

Saying that though,I think he gets pushed to play at Spuds and I don't see Pep doing that.
If we pay 120m plus he is not coming to make the numbers up, the pressure on him would be intense and the pressure if injured to return quickly would be greater than at Spurs.
Great player, but a very risky signing.
It was a joke mate, jesusWhy on earth would his lisp and his kind of up-tight persona be a negative?
