Harry Kane

Think it was probably a bit tongue in cheek, although he can be a tad pessimistic at times. Often rightly so, tbf.

If we get Kane for 150million then we should let it be known that we would have gone to 2oomill.,just to stop the inevitable love in for the Master Negotiator Levy

Kaveh is a raging lunatic. A man whose sole job is to talk up football transfers clearly raging with bitterness that a football transfer might happen

He’s always come across as an absolute prick imo. The type of bloke you would spend your whole night trying to swerve in the pub.

Selling before we can buy is likely a load of bollocks (unless its always been a necessity and no one has reported it).

Highly doubt this could be a new issue (if it is one) just because Spurs are demanding an extra £25m or whatever.

I think its more a case of they would really like to than need to. The squad space/HG rules isnt a issue yet, niether is the cash as far as i'm aware.

The want away players are aware their agent must get the value set, or they are in for the rotation again. Non strike me as unprofessional about it though (or not read/seen anything)

He’s being sarcastic…

Kaveh.(loon).

The fee for Harry Kane should be £150mill. In my personal opinion that wouldn't be enough.( enough said) Tapped up by Spurs on the QT to push their anti-Kane PR.

I can't see us finding buyers in time for any players we would sell unless we sell them at some joke discount rate which we should obviously avoid doing.

The sort of smug boastful weirdo you spend your whole holiday trying to avoid after unluckily meeting him on the first day.
Thankfully he isn’t remotely credible and is the very definition of a KFA spoofer, no matter how much he plays on his phone pretending to be ‘connected’

Thing is in the short term we have a core group of the greatest players and manager the club has ever had, all peaking at the moment. It's harvest time.

Our greatest players have spread over the last 10 years.
It’d be one season where we ‘might’ not win anything.
People are asking if we don’t get get Kane are we happy not winning anything.
Like it’s a guarantee, it’s not.
We pay £150m for Kane (the asking price) and the ramifications of that will go on much longer than a season.

Think the squad space is potentially an issue, in terms of CL at least. Maybe they’d be willing to leave someone like Mendy out though if it came to it.

This made me laugh a little from the Spurscommunity Forum.

I've actually just come over quite sad now about the whole thing. A lot of us (myself included) borderline worshipped the man and it felt so awesome to have "one of our own" be one of the very best players in the world. Someone most other fans were genuinely terrified to see on the team sheet. So now that the initial anger to the way he's seemingly tried to fuck us over has died down a bit, it's all just a bit sad.

Ultimately I think he's just a bit thick, or at least someone who's never really faced much in the way of adversity so doesn't have a very developed view of the world. He was easily swept along by the narrative of "winning trophies" and hasn't considered what his long term legacy could of been. I do genuinely believe he'll regret the move, whether it takes 5 years or 20.

Just a big, big shame to think what could have been.

That’s not a guarantee either, tbf.

Kyle Walker massively regrets the move…

But the OP was talking about long term, not one season. And signing Kane isn't a one season impact, it's 4-5 seasons.

We've got enough space if we needed to even for CL. Foden doesnt count just yet luckily. They could get to Jan window with a couple in HG or not. Rotation would be a pain though, especially if he looking at Palmer, Lavia, Delap etc in cup games.

There's no chance we'd leave Mendy out. If we had to leave out a senior player it would be Carson, and we'd register Slicker as our 3rd Keeper.

Yeah, I guess so but in the past, or perhaps in a different medium, then journalists would wait until they were sure on something. The nature of the internet and social media means people are crying out for immediacy - employers as well as audience. Say nothing and you risk looking like you’re out of the loop, make a claim that doesn’t materialise and your reputation can be in tatters. Not surprised so many football journos opt to hedge their bets.

Maybe I'm wrong but Sam Lee to me seems a bit isolated.

Most other top clubs have 2 or 3 super active journalists (at least) focussing on them. Guys who will be active on twitter, constantly providing some kind of updates, engaging with fans, constantly writing articles etc.

With City though it's just Sam as far as I know. There are a small number of others but Martin Blackburn is effectively a shadow and Gaughan isn't overly active. So anything he puts out, he might be the only credible guy doing so which in the eyes of some would make him more of an elevated ITK than anything.

I think that puts Sam in a unique position where there's a lot of pressure on him, more so than a lot of other similar journalists.

Calpol v Sheath.

Battle of the KFAs.

Quality, although the sheath comes across as almost reasonable in the exchange, the other twat is just an absolute clown.

I would change my normal habits and tune in to watch that prick eat humble pie if we sign Kane.

The original question I replied to was “ Really? You'd rather not win a trophy than pay for Kane?”

I've not watched much of SSN at all, but the 2 or 3 times I have Dharmesh whilst uninformed doesn't seem outlandish. That might have something to do with having notorious anti-City Kaveh next to him though.
