Harry Kane

Neil Custis on Talk Sport shitting on his own papers story about Kane. Says it's down to the sub editor who broke the story and he was out at the time they discussed it. Watering it down to the story being about Levy saying he would consider offers of £160m.
His bosses will be furious.

Surprised he made it to London considering most of the time you'll find him pissed up In one of the many pubs around Didsdury

Double standard modding on here. Got banned from the Grealish thread for a minor altercation with one of the forum’s favoured sons (no swearing). Posts deleted, ban for me, he carries on with impunity. No reason given, no PM, nothing.

Others abuse each on that thread as I write but that’s allowed (which doesn’t bother me apart from the inconsistency).

It stinks when a forum has blue-eyed boys with protected status - presumably because they are proclaimed ITKs.

Agree with that, I'm sure one of those protected posters got me banned from the It's Quiet thread when all I did was express my opinion.

Same here. First kit I had. Might be my memory but I'm sure I wore it when in the junior Blues.

I think it was of the first kits that Umbro produced commercially that supporters could buy.

Before getting a replica kit was dam near impossible.

So who would you sign instead? Haaland isn't available and even if he was, there is no guarantee of anything. We shut him down pretty effectively in the two quarter final matches. So what proof is there that he shows up against the best?

Haaland is available at a price.....he setup one of their goals so we didnt shut him down and he bullied ruben off the ball...how many strikers will do that?....but its more than about one game as Kanes record against us aint great either.
Kane hasnt got a great record against the top teams thats there in stats as well......poor against 4 of the top 6 (exceptions are Arsenal and Leicester)...people keep making an excuse that he is palying for spurs (they arent a good team apparently) yet in the last 5 games vs spurs we have won 3 and lost 2 (2020-2021) - kane didnt score any either btw.

Haaland is the fastest and youngest player to reach 20 champions league goals (in just 14 CL games)....kane took 24 games to do this as a comparrison

But again its not just about the stats or one off games..

I beleive Haaland is more mobile and would fit into a fluid front 3...whereas Kane isnt/cant..yes he drops deep and links play very well (Haaland also can do this) but I think Kane makes us more rigid in attack

He has less pace than haaland and though we dont play on the break that much there are times its useful...Kane aint quick and looks like he is getting slower. think about the possibiility of Haaland with Edersons quick releases/long passes. Haaland is also clearly the more physically stonger player as well

Kanes injury record around his ankles is a concern .......that aint getting better and it reoccurs most seasons at some point - yes we maybe able to rest him....but it may also be forced on us at some point.

As ive said, Kane will score lots of goals for us but in the moments that count, the one off games Id rather have Haaland.....or even wait a year (though that aint going to happen unless levy really digs his heels in and insists on pricing him out of a move)

If, as you say, he is available at a price then you need to look at other reasons (many discussed on here), as to why we are not pursuing him.

It's quite low down on my giveafuckometer if I'm being honest.
Shit like this stopped bothering me about the time real world problems started to arise, so when I was about 18. :-)
Ideally I'd prefer us not to be spending circa 130m for a player like Kane but I won't be losing any sleep if we do.

There certainly are more important things.

I'd rather we bought someone else and I agree that £130m sounds on the high side from where I am sat but Kane is one of the very limited number of players we should be considering and ultimately, for me, my only concern is that City get a striker who can fill most of (ideally all of) the hole (ideally all of) left by Sergio's departure.
