Yep - I think had we allowed ourselves to be 'milked' we would have done significant damage to the reputation of the club and left ourselves vulnerable to being milked in future negotiationsI agree. Personally I'm not too disappointed as i didn't want him at any cost and neither did City so it would seem.
I dont, it was a figure banded about but even if it was nearer to £120m it doesn't really matter.Do you know that we offered £150m? I havent read that anywhere. All i have read is that the two sides were quite a way apart.
He would have been good for us.But at his age his value would depreciate and it’s not the end of the world.We do need a decent strikerReally not that bothered.
I would say your not too far off,strange how we also struggle to get decent fees for players unlike other clubs,I agree that there is a "stop City" agenda at work and wouldn't be surprised if Levy is working closely with some of the poison-pen letter boys in the Hateful Eight. Would it be a shock if Kane turned up at United next Summer?
I assumed he meant they give us Son as well.Pay a bit more AND sweeten it with a player
Have you gone insane ?
Yeah right 0/10City look mugs, chased all summer and empty handed.
Im fucking gutted
Haha, trueSo all them that said my uncle told my auntie who told me he’s coming are bullshitters of the highest order you know who you are.
I don't know but I believe someone inside United tipped Gary Neville off at the weekend. His random plea for Kane was really strange. He wouldn't have made it unless something was happening behind the scenes. I think next summer is likely. Isn't that what happened with Modric and Bale? Levy has been taking the piss out of City....and I suspect we know it.Or this weekend?
From the sounds of things we put in a first offer of £75m + addons, and I guess put in an improved bid of something closer to £100m + addons, which hasn't got us anywhere near and we have walked away with the understanding that we won't get close. My attitude has always been that's it not my money, so I don't care how much we pay, but someone somewhere does care about how how much we spend and thinks we can spend that much money better elsewhere.When Pep said they won’t negotiate I got the feeling that Levy wouldn’t talk until we put in an obscene figure and go from there. That figure didn’t come so no further contact, or offer, was made. We just wouldn’t be dragged through Levy’s fire.
Fcuk buying him next summerI don't know but I believe someone inside United tipped Gary Neville off at the weekend. His random plea for Kane was really strange.

Bull shit. We’ve a price we believe he’s worth but spuds are greedy cunts, so we’ve fucked them off.City look mugs, chased all summer and empty handed.
Im fucking gutted
Case in point… see my earlier postYeah right 0/10
