Harry Kane

I know it’s the Daily Mail but they say we are willing to go over 120m. There’s no firm news linking Spurs with a striker so not sure if he’d be allowed to go without a replacement incoming.
 
Think back to a key moment last season:

FA Cup semi-final we lacked the quality in our squad to beat Chelsea with a necessarily weakened side.
That FA Semi was a cluster F*** of a game by both teams, the day it showed the FA Cup is no longer a major competition.
 
There seems to be a tongue up Lukaku’s arse by most of the media which seems to have made you all forget what he was like at united. Yea he’s decent but I wouldn’t have been excited for us to sign him. Terrible first touch does nothing in big games. Belgium went out the euros because he missed several easy chances. He scored one against a poor Arsenal on Sunday. Kounde- so what we’ve got better centre halves than that in stones Dias and Laporte. Our squad is still better. Chelsea got a very good chance of winning the league but I wouldn’t swap out position squad manager or players for anyone.
Is the right answer... It won't be long before he reverts to type.. back to the time when his first touch was a tackle...

As you can see, Ronaldo might have the dribbling and pace advantage over Kane, but Kane is the more physical player and better defensively. Ronaldo's 92 versus Kane's 88 make Ronaldo a must buy for me.
Kane’s a better defender according to the computer game developers/football experts at FIFA. I wonder if he can play left back?
 
Hopefully there are time limits on any bid or even pending agreement (to buy replacements) with Spurs that City may have made.

Either option gives Mr Levy chance to delay giving him kudos all round should this be his intention.

Been plenty of those in the last couple of years in big games though. What we consistently did better than other teams last season was beat the shit teams. Plenty of half decent teams last season and at Spurs last week where we struggled to break teams down without a proper number 9. Seems pretty clear we’ll face better competition for our title this season and failing to sort a striker could prove very costly.

Spurs would have to be MASSIVELY incompetent to not already have their replacements lined up. Even if they think he's staying, you don't just presume that and hope for the best. City will have Kevin De Bruyne's replacement lined up already to some degree and he's not even in the market. If there was an ongoing saga then those talks would become more concrete obviously. As we know more than most, complicated transfers can be done in a few hours if all parties want the same thing. This "there isn't time" is yet more Levy bullshit.

Totally agree and how many times a season do we play a team that genuinely gives us a game?

I would say 10 at most, and those are the games that show how much we miss a high class goal scorer, those games we may get one chance and we seldom take it and then suffer.

Maybe they don't want replacements and need to bank the cash?
