I’m not sure where you’re getting this from. Because of the book? Pep left Barcelona quite a long time ago. Ballus, who ACTUALLY wrote the book, is England based, and I usually trust him.
The show Martin is a part of is a discussion show. A group of journalists talking out of their asses. Look it up on YouTube:
Like I said in the Kane thread: Real Madrid just went through a CL semifinal and are better positioned than Barcelona in La Liga. They need to sell something hopeful to the Barcelona fans; no one turns on the tv for doom and gloom. The hopeful spin they can sell right now is the illusion Haaland might on the way. Then you can imagine a discussion live: “oh no no no, City don’t want Haaland, they want Harry Kane, don’t worry!” Lol
And this is the guy who gave us that amazing scoop last summer saying that Messi wouldn’t be back to Barcelona again even if that meant staying one year without playing football
 
Harry has one thing mind, if he forces a move i think hes probably the one player that can turn to Levy and say im not going to play unless i get my move and hed still be in the Englands national team plus the press would kill Levy. Harry is the captain of England national team. Hes the gem of the press

Thats why I can't see us spending £100 mill plus on him.

I agree, he would be no easier to get than Haaland, hardly any cheaper, and comes with not a grear injury record and outwith the age bracket we usually spend big on.

Maybe the source is decent and the information given is too. Maybe that is deliberate. There will be lots of this kind of stuff as it gets closer. We want him, we don't want him, we don't want anyone, we want someone, there are plenty options, if there are no options we'll wait. We'll hear it all, at various points. Sometimes on the same day pethaps.

The Gem of the press until he is linked or signed by us.

I think he is Rag bound.

140 million is the price being said that an english club would have to pay.

While I don't believe it would actually take or get close to 140m, in the same way i don't beleive Haaland will cost 150m, you highlight the point im trying to make, both are there or thereabouts in terms of a huge expense.

He’s 27 year old flat track bully, with the pace and injury record of a 30 year old, with 4 years left on his contract, and an owner who would ask the earth for him.
I’d rather we looked elsewhere.
 
Fuck off kane.

just practicing!

If I had to guess thiugh, I’d say it’s a leak to play the game with riaola. Not a ducking chance they’d rather spunk an obscene amount of money on Kane, than the future of football
 
My guess is, as I posted in the Haaland thread, that we want him undeniably as the first option. If we’re not chosen by the player and staff, then we won’t be getting someone like Kane, who would cost too much for the little commercial return. It would probably be a cheaper option (one that would still break out transfer record, but not that massively) that would get the “job done” (maybe not as well as Kane, but in the sense of filling in a striker position). Pep isn’t the one who is going to choose the striker, just like he didn’t choose Dias, just like Aguero was a Khaldoon project. But judging by the last two weeks, he seems well aware that the club’s targeting the Norwegian and is fully on board.

I would take Kane after Haaland and Lukaku, just to be clear. But I no longer think it’s an option

Exactly, whoever hands 150m to Spurs is giving them a financial lifeboat.

Spurs are in serious trouble, paying for a very expensive stadium they are unable to use due to covid and they will have to pay off Mourinho otherwise they will end up in one hell of a mess.

There are bad sources and then there is this.
To be fair to her, if you know this show, no one there knows shit and they’re all spitting opinions as information

Im not saying you dont know what you're talking about, but the fact you think Lu Martin is a her isn't a good start.

Hes a 50 year old bloke with a goatee.

Fair enough. Do you know that Lu was, along with Pol Ballus, given incredible amounts of access to Pep in Manchester while they wrote their book about him in the last 2 years and are very, very friendly with him and the catalan contingent at the club?

I know who Lu is. Ballus is serious. I trust him. Lu isn’t taken seriously IN SPAIN. The “gossip-y” parts of the book are his; the serious stuff is Ballus

This is him a month ago:

Major update on Sergio Aguero's Man City future suggests Pep Guardiola will hand the player a choice

Pep Guardiola will ask Sergio Agüero if he wants to stay at Manchester City and the final decision will lie with the player, reports journalist Lu Martin speaking to Què T'hi Jugues.

That article predicts exactly what's been reported to have happened?

He got a choice. Stay with a smaller role, or go.
 
If people want to believe a hack, there’s nothing I can do.
