I agree with player purchases that we obviously need for a position but we will still get bargain players who can be moulded into a City type player.
The team has progressed to such a state that only world class players are wanted for our dare I say 1st team.
I think that's fair comment. Spurs are a side that has tried to function without investment from the owner. Our spending worked. We spent the owner's money at first and it worked and we now have revenues as big as Utd without the debt repayments they have. We dominate the transfer market as a result only we get the flak that they never did.Spurs fan in peace.
We are a well run club ofcourse financially. I have seen some post here alluding to Spurs going towards financial oblivion interms of debt. Yes, it does look huge. Covid really did hurt us the most in PL given so much dependent on revenues from stadium. But we will fine...as long as there is no further lockdowns.
Our only issue is, no focus given football side in last 3-4 years. But things are quite optimistic this summer with Fabio Paratici, new DoF, already doing some smart deals and Levy taking a step back from making transfer negotiations.
As for as Kane, fan base is extremely disappointed in how he has gone about things, especially given, fans were on his side till May, even if he was leaving us.
As for as any potential transfer - City set the marker themselves. Having paid Grealish 100m, the minimum fair value expected for Spurs will be 160m. Ball is on city court. If they come up with that valuation, deal will happen.
Harry's girls?Don`t start calling loose women, I love them girls.
Why do you expect that rivals will always struggle? They wont. CFC will come good. Even Man Utd may do so. (although perhaps unlikely with OGS in charge). Real Madrid, Barca, Bayern Munich all struggling at moment but I don't see why this is inevitable. Clearly for much of history these clubs have dominated. It's just cycles in football.the levels of the so called elite are falling fast and i think city don't need to panic in the transfer market
i got stick for saying grealish was a luxury signing ? the truth is we have players already at the club that can play in that role. the kane transfer is a must and no club can go without a natural born striker
I am not convinced a deal will be done. If a deal was pending, why haven't Spurs strengthened? Are they just going to take the money at the end of the window and say it was a deal they had to do? I am 50-50 whether this happens.
What evidence have you got that they are close to signing Martinez?Sure others have already mentioned this, but the news Spurs close to signing Lautaro Martinez can only be a good thing for us. Feel like Levy is being wise in making his signings now, so he's not held ransom to high demands once he gets the Kane money.
Feel optimistic about us bringing him in within the next week or so
Fans may have understood he was leaving and were ok with that. But they don't know what was said or agreed with Levy. Decent people who suddenly act out of character are normally the victims of poor treatment.
Who gives a shit what the fans now think. He wants out because his career is limited and he wants something to show for it at the end. Something highly unlikely if he stays with you.
City didn't set any marker with Grealish. Levy's £160m valuation was set a long before the Grealish deal.
Now the thing is i actually agree that any club can set a minimum fee for any player in contract. It's up to the buyer if they agree if the player is worth that fee. Levy is well within his rights to hold firm.
I think the sticking point is what was said to Harry last year. If Levy asked him to stay one more season and then he would let him go if a bid of more than £100m came in.
If that was the case, then everything that has followed is on Levy's shoulders. I personally think if that was the case Harry is at fault for being too naive and trusting. But maybe he thought after all his years service to the club he was owed one.
City have bid what Harry has probably told then would secure a deal. Assuming Levy has gone back on his word, we end up where we are.
From our point of view, if we don't value Harry much higher, we will walk away.
Personally, i wouldn't go above £120m with the included add ons...
What evidence have you got that they're not?What evidence have you got that they are close to signing Martinez?

Rushing him back... again
No it's not - it works both ways that question Marv askedwhat is this childish response lol
Not childish. Fair comment but I thought most people who are following this transfer, quickly realised that the Martinez claims are overdone. Spurs made a bid. It's old. Knocked on the head for now anyway.what is this childish response lol
Fair enough. They have been splashing a bit of cash otherwise though which seems to suggest they're resigned to Kane leaving this windowComments from the agent in a couple of recent interviews.
