Harry Kane

[JustAnotherCityFan]

Billy is no longer confident in his sources so he’s letting it play out.

Tolmie is still confident it gets done.

I think that about covers it.

Mattyb also said City were sending representatives including a contracts guy to meet with Spurs yesterday.

The quality of the young English kids is incredible, to me England under a top manager could dominate international football in the next decade.

The difference in quality, technic and attitude compared to previous generations is night and day.

Is that not still a failure on the coaching?
Pep is regarded as the best coach in the world because he gets the best out of pretty much every player he coaches. If England has the talent but there not getting to the top it is the fault of the people tasked with getting the players to the top!

 

[Mr-Mertle]

Books are now balanced. Bring on Kane. ;)

 

[mosssideblue]

OK, do you genuinely believe the club would leave it this late to realise this or that they have no handle on the finances.

I'm sure this story of not being able to buy without selling originated from that bastion of all things truthful, Twitter.

The kids are only just starting to appear, there is no doubt to me this generation of young English players are outstanding and they are appearing all over the place.

There attitude, technic, desire is so different from before, that is the result of watching and staying around outstanding foreign players since the start of the PL.

Outstanding technical coaches are now in this league and academies, their hard work is appearing.

Not sure Southgate is the man to use these incredible riches but that is another argument and MCFC is far more important.

 

[Cityinmud]

And?

There is little or no cash in the market, our players are outstanding, a vast majority of other clubs would love them but simply can't afford the fees or wages.

Yeah that's probably fair

We didn't but the club sure did and thank the lord they did.

Same goes with the "deals" for Sanchez, Maguire and Fred.

But as said, who is an alternative to Kane that is AVAILABLE?

We don't know. Maybe club does. No one considered dias as koulibaly's alternative. Even after we signed him many including me thought he will be 3rd choice or something. So you never know.

*to meet Kane’s people at a Hertfordshire hotel

I think that says more about the state of the youth system in England, there is a premium because any English player with actual quality is a rare these days. Foden really proves the point with as he is the only genuine first team player we have produced since Richards over 10 years ago.

This is changing though, the quality of players coming through now is much much better and more of them. We are seeing the start of that now with the youth World Cup winning team starting to come through - we will see more over the next ten years as the youth systems have improved so much, all part of the FA plan and backed by clubs investing.

This has also raised the spectre of English youth players being poached by foreign teams, in numbers, for the first time in my life.

The standard of England’s youth system and players is better now than ever before so this statement of yours just doesn’t fly at all.

 

[Semper aggressus]

Any closer to signing him yet?

 

[Maccblue]

There was a lot of flapping over a centre half last year !!!! Koulabaly then the lad from Seville !!!!!!
Then Reuben who!!! Never heard of him
Look how that turned out

they will have alternatives up their sleeve
You can call tixy etc whatever they are no mugs
Trust in pep and our owners
They want success as much as we do

Not for one minute, nor for one minute do I believe Levy will let him leave for less than he wants, and that is IF he wants to sell.

From the outside we either pay up or move along.

PS: If there was any doubt , go and look at Khaldoons face at the end of the UCL final, that was a man who will not take a NO from Daniel Levy IF Pep wants Kane.

Just turn your phone upside down and type.

Going to be fun on here if we fail to land a striker of any kind in this window.

I fully agree, I am however talking about the premier league together as most clubs aren’t producing enough first team players meaning the prices have a premium.

Sometime I feel the club does this on purpose and then pulls out a gem out of the hat that no other club were scouting! Same as what happened with Dias!

I sure hope they are doing the same with Kane!

Give it time, the quality in our academy is incredible, they are on their way, be patient

As fun as not retaining the title and not even finishing top 2! And no silverware!

I might be overdoing it but its different this year with the fans back and teams strengthening! We will struggle without a striker

You know England just lost the Euro’s on penalties right?

I'm not so sure, how many points have we missed out on through not having a decent left-back over the last few years?

Insofar as the remaining transfer window is a day shorter; yes. As far as news goes; no.
