Harry Kane

Wolves manager leaving, possibly to Spurs. He will improve them a lot. 120m+ will go a long way with a decwnt manager

£120M?

City are not paying that for ANY player! And they certainly are not giving that war chest to a team that is always in and around the Top 4!

I can see them structuring some kind of deal where a player (or two) goes the other way and we inflate their value to make it seem like Kane was £75-80M, but I just think it is insane money for a “one contract, no possible sell-on” player. For a 20 year old Haaland, who might want to play for Barca or Madrid when he’s 27? I could see it, but FFP means costing a contract out over the entire length of the deal. Are City going to give Kane a 5 or 6 year deal to spread out £120M deal into £20M per year, even before £12M+ every year in wages & bonuses? £30-35M per year for the next 5-6 years for ONE PLAYER???

Just don’t see it! We only have a few major sponsors and that is akin to giving ALL the money from one of them to ONE new player!

Kane is a very good player who knows where the goal is. He appears to be peaking, even though he gets a few injuries. He probably even has a few top seasons left in him. I just don’t want to spend stupid money on him with a much younger, bigger, stronger, City fan out there doing the business AND he has the potential to be here for 10+ years, like Sergio, and be a dominant force in our squad….with sell on potential if he doesn’t want City in 5 or 6 yrs!

...at this point? I’d prefer we leave that strategy of pay top price for a short term gain to the rags.

I wasn't even trying to compare on whether or not we should sign kane or haaland, but kane is better right now, that's undeniable

Statistically, he already is…and in the 2nd or 3rd best league in the world!

Kane is 27 and won NOWT! For a striker who has been in a few semis and finals, he doesn’t seem to have been able to make the difference.

Now, what’s this about him being world class again?! Do you watch him play? Half his game is duping refs into giving him fouls!

That said, he has a knack of finding the net, and would solve the penalty taker issues!

Sounds like You’re the one who hasn’t watched him. He’s a top class player and great finisher. Check out some of the assists he’s made this season alone. De Bruyne would be proud of some of them.

Shearer won one league title his whole career. No one player can carry a mediocre team to titles. To a better finish yes but not to the pinnacle.

Kane would improve our team, but greatly?

Our team did extremely well without a striker and could finish the season with a treble. We have won 11 from 12 CL games so far, broke multiple records, etc. Great improvement upon that would be to win every knock-out CL game by 3 goals while winning the quadruple. Actually, it's far from guaranteed we would have a better season with Kane. Which comes to show what a season we are having currently. Fantastic.

Scoring about 45 goals a season more (what he'd provide through goals and assists) would clearly improve us.

How do you know Kane doesn't do the same!?

I don't necessarily do know that, but the injury record suggests otherwise.

Go through Lewandowski's injury record and find me where he has consistent problems with a muscle or a part of his body

What is a joke is the arrogance of thinking that every league other than the PL is a joke. Look at the top three managers in the PL: Pep, Klopp, Tuchel (if you wanna add Ancelotti to this list too...). They have all managed in the Bundesliga and been successful. The German school of coaches is strong. Watch the documentary Trainer on Amazon Prime, see how well professionally managed even their lowest leagues are. Germany is also the country with the second most World Cups (behind Brazil, of course...). It is a strong league by any account. The fact that Bayern rules untouched there doesn’t mean that the rest of the teams are crap, because they clearly aren’t.

Players come from that league with big reps and fail in other leagues a lot .

That happens in every league, including players that go from the PL to other leagues. The majority of players that perform well in the Bundesliga leave to continue performing well in other leagues, including, err, the best player of our own team.
