Harry Kane

[manimanc]

I know mate, was just expecting a bit more today. Early days still

We all was but after last week we knew today would be tough.
We got 37 games to save ourselves.

 

[samuelyeboah]

honest to god I don't actually care anymore if we get a striker. genuinely don't think that was the difference today at all. I can very vividly see this exact same performance with kane/haaland/mbappe/whoever. the structure of the team is just wrong and we are missing attacking *ideas* rather than personnel

was very disappointed to see we are likely getting back last season's sterling and now euros sterling, too. was really rooting for him.

having said all of that would be nice to be proven wrong and have a striker be all it takes to really unlock the full potential of this team, which honestly, despite our amazing achievements last season, I can't be the only one feeling we were far from showing our full capabilities, right?

Just listened to the sky pundits about Kane. Nfeville basically told Dawson to cop the fuck on and don’t be so stupid to think nothings going on in the background

 

[andyhinch]

If he had said “Harry Kane is a great player, we need to speak to him and convince him to stay”

thankfully the likes that run spurs and City don’t work off one games

The only problem is Levy isn’t a great business man, putting your fingers in your ears and just saying no doesn’t count btw.

 

[chaddblue]

If Levy wasn’t prepared to negotiate and was serious about not selling him he would have simply said “not for sale”

instead by naming a price of £160m (if indeed he has and I’m skeptical as it’s a ludicrous fee) he’s conceding that indeed he is for sale and he will leave

ultimately he’ll leave for much less

 

[abu13]

If a move for Kane is not possible to push through who else is there out there who we could get before the window were to shut?

 

[nellyonthewing]

On today's showing Kane would need to win the ball in midfield ,pass it out wide run across and collect it , then cross it to himself in the box before rising to score. Not sure he's got all that in his locker.

 

[L4EV]

Well it would seem Spurs are looking at Bamford as a potential Kane replacement so I guess we are now actually involved.

Is that a reputable info? Bad weekend for you guys too

But we’re not going to bid against ourselves are we? We’re holding a knife at each other’s throat. The reported £120 million plus realistic add ons £150 million is reasonable all round I think. Beyond that you can argue until the cows come home who loses out more for no sale. City going into a season without a striker, same as last season (although we didn’t know that at the time), or Spurs with their huge stadium that needs paying off on the back of a COVID affected season and no other asset that is going to be worth the same amount next year?
In my humble opinion we get affected for a season, Spurs get affected for a decade.

Plus a wantaway player, who will have to be kept away from the dressing room and a mop of spuds fans who now hate his guts

Mike McGrath who is normally fairly good with Leeds

Edit: Though apparently he wouldn’t be their 1st target

 

[ancoats]

I know mate but we are all wasting our time talking about Haaland. Especially this summer. He isn't going anywhere

what would a price be to make dortmund sell this summer ? i know their is a clause next summer.
i think they only get £63million so if somebody offers double now or more you think dortmund could to it down

unless munich have involvement with the club in a deal next summer. then dortmund could not afford to turn down £150milion right now

 

[Luke The Blue]

the mahrez chance, the torres tap in and the chance he got from a kdb pass. u cant tell me kane wouldnt have done better from those. we do need a striker

Fernandinho should of scored the header too.

Thing is, when we struggle to break a team down, we cross it. We have a few players with a joke of a delivery - namely KDB and Mahrez - who Kane would have a field day with.

Not only that, world class strikers like Kane have the positional sense to get on the end of things that don’t look threatening. I guess after 2 seasons without Aguero we’ve forgotten that a little bit but having a clinical striker makes so much difference.

 

[King-General]

The thing what surprises me the most is that it seems like we really do not have any other striking alternative lined up. It's Harry Kane or nobody, which is really odd. As long they can take it over the wire nobody is going to complain about it. But imagine that this deal with Kane doesn't happen, questions has to be answered.

 

[ancoats]

lets be honest if Levy was watching the same game he saw as well we are desperate for a top finisher. if he cannot use this game as a tool to negotiate a better deal he is a fool.

city should be smart and play them at there own game and put a bid in for somebody else like haaland
them lets see how smart levy is then and a unhappy kane having to stay at spurs and playing european sunday league teams

the delivery today was really fucking poor (aside for KDB) so that doesn't fill me with too much hope.

spot on matey

and think haaland would walk over the channel for a chance to play for manchester city and at about the same money. also mbappe maybe for sale as well

 

[Bustergonad]

Had enough chances to win 3 games. Same every time against Spurs

 

[The Black Shed]

We shouldn't be putting all our eggs into Kane's basket. If he gets injured then we'll be snookered, playing the false 9 stuff again. We should be looking at buying two strikers imo.
