No he plays for a decent premiership side....one that at the start of his career at spurs we were fighting for top 4 with.....

We may not need him to, and we certainly won't be relying on him to, because we have other top players all over the pitch. To me a top drawer goalscorer was the final piece for this squad and he is that.

I think one of the reasons the false 9 worked so well last season was because of the quality and depth of our squad and because you didn't know who was going to step up game after game. What other team could go without KDB, the best midfielder in the world, and seemingly not miss a beat!

So add to all that quality, Kane's goals (and Grealish) and you have to wonder who can stop us!

Unfortunately I think united might this year

The thing that stands out for me the most about the prices being quoted for Kane and Grealish (whether you agree with them or not) is the fact that City are anywhere near these kind of deals… it’s not something that we’ve ever done before and I see it as a sign that something has shifted financially.

And hopefully a sign that City are now starting to feel confident of flexing their financial muscles… happy days!

Yes to break our transfer record twice in an off season with this kind of fees is un-City like. Particularly with Covid playing a factor to our finances. Just says a big fuck off to all the people who oppose City. Tebas, FFP, Bayern, Klopp, de Laurentis and many more will all be so salty it will be brilliant.

I’ve never said kane doesn’t want to join city, unfortunately for him he signed a 6 year contract in 2018 and levy is not selling him with 3 years left on his contract. Wonder at what point in the summer you all stop deluding yourselves about this happening

the thing is kane may be unhappy and not give 100% for another 3 seasons at spurs and spurs go nowhere
the chairman i heard promised kane one more season last season ? if no silverware or champions league then you can leave. so kane will hold him to his words and will want to leave right now. the chairman should take what city are offering £100million and move on

a unhappy player is not good at your club. other players will be at it ? so the manager has to get him out of the camp and make him train with the youth. plus the value drops every week and your still paying him his wages

i think the FA have to have a word with both kane and spurs because the world cup is coming up
the england captain has to be looked after and needs to be playing each week ? not sat on the bench unhappy that a dream move has been blocked by the chairman that he promised kane he could leave

Sure the club will decide what a player is worth but it shouldn't stop everyday fans from having their own views as to what they think is a fee worth paying.
I mean, it'll have no bearing whatsoever on the business we do but I don't think it's worth shouting anybody down for being uncomfortable with the price tags we are hearing about.

Everyone is entitled to their opinion.

What I find a bit odd is how worked up some people seem to get about transfer fees that haven't even been agreed of paid yet.

I definitely have views on what some players are worth but I don't care what the club spend so long as they can afford it.

Yeah he might not come, but it's against his wishes, the fact is he'd rather be playing for us than you!

We've raised £50m through sales so far this window so I doubt we'll break any total spending records but in terms of individual deals I hope we break 2 records

I think ffp has been relaxed this summer due to covid so clubs can spend more.

I don't either and fwiw if it were up to me, i'd have a couple, Mbappe and Haaland, before Kane, but it ain't.

I can see why we want Grealish though.
We need someone who can unlock and thread little balls in behind defences like David used to. Now no-one can replace Merlin, but after taking a closer look at Grealish, seeing that it's got serious, he does have some good close control and can make some nice passes, so i'm warming to him and think we need that type of player.

I heard Nuno's press conference. He was totally non commital. Not sure how you deduced from that he was confident that Kane was staying

Yeah, I saw the reports of those assurances.

Let's just say, I know an half-truth when I see one. And boy oh boy, that whole period was full of some sketchy shit.

To paraphrase, they were assured, 'As things stand Tottenham will not be selling Harold Kane this summer'. How many holes can you pick in that? Well, obviously it's different if a bid actually arrives. It didn't even say who made the assurance. Could have been the bloody tea lady. It stank of a bit of Tottenham politicking between Levy, Nuno and Patrici, who would take the 'blame' for selling Kane. It was always coming back to Levy, hence the farcical manager search. This week, he got his act in gear, and found the positive spin that reinforces his authority. Story is now that by seeling, he is doing what he thinks is best for the club, the team, getting rid of a malcontent, getting some players in, overruling Joe Lewis' emotional side.

Honestly, if this is a delusion, it's the most realistic one I've ever fallen for.

I knew this deal was going down ages back. Everything added up, all the little details in who was saying what, and the back story of why the players would want it to go ahead. Stuck my name to the mast six weeks ago or more, and I've never felt more confident. As it happens, I had Nuno down for you from him leaving Wolves, and became utterly convinced during the manager search. Sure, it could go wrong. I just don't know how. Not at this stage. Medical fail. That's about it.
