Harry Kane

In my humble opinion, to say we no longer want Kane is incredibly short-sighted......... unless we know that Haaland is coming for sure!
Kane is a proven goal scorer and would take us to another level with his goals, he is English and would therefore, have no issues settling in at all, he comes with no drama or off-the-pitch antics and again he will score goals, literally a bagful for us.
The question for us is the price and the way he has started actually helps with that some and i dont think he is sulking or being a smacked arse, he is just desperately unhappy at the way he has been treated - by Levy - and anyone who has played the wonderful game will know how hard it is to perform when your heart just isn't in it!. So, maybe a bid of 75M could actually get him in January (maybe even throw in Raheem now, who may just fancy working with Conte?).
Time will tell on this one as i think its the January window or never.

He is a professional footballer, the operative word being professional.
It's a job that is rewarded extremely well for those at the top and the excuse of his heart not being in it doesn't wash. It's a cop out from him and anybody giving him a pass for his disgraceful performances since his move fell through.
I'd accept us going in for him again had he knuckled down and played his heart out for the club he supports and is paid handsomely to do so this season but as he's effectively downed tools he can fuck off.

People who make out that players like Kane are hard done by are living in cloud cuckoo land.

I didn't say he was hard done by and believe me i dont like in a 'cloud cuckoo land'. So from your comments "he can fook off".............can i take it that if he signs, you will not support him at our club?

No, I just can’t get behind the idea that he should underperform because a transfer fell through. It happens all the time in football but most players just crack on because it’s part and parcel of professional football.
I was happy at the prospect of him joining us because I thought he’d be a great option for the 9 we need. That was when I was led to believe we had no chance of Haaland though. Things have changed, not withstanding Kane looking like a non league player these days but the Haaland deal looking a bit more promising.
If we do go onto land him then of course I’ll support him because he’s playing for my club and his success would be linked to our success.
It doesn’t mean I don’t dislike how he’s handles the last 3 months though.

Then, we are in complete agreement mate.
IF we are not getting Haaland, then we should definitely go for Kane as despite everything, he will score goals for us and probably vital ones as well...
However, if Levy continues to be, well Levy i suppose. Then we should bin it off once and for all and ge through the season as is, with the false #9, which in fairness isn't doing too badly!!
 
Kane’s gone in January has to be. Conte apparently sees Vlahovic as a priority for Tottenham. Wants a striker, midfielder and defender in January from reports yesterday and today. Only way they get funds for that is a Harry Kane sale as Fiorentina want 70 to 80 million for Vlahovic. Levy has also promised Conte the funds for the 3 positions.

Spurs are skint only way they get money is Kane. I just think we will go back in for him, Levy will come crawling back. Pep likes Kane and if we could get him for 60 to 70 million i think city would do it. United won’t want him in Jan with Cavani and Ronaldo there. Chelsea have Lukaku. That leaves us really.

id be disappointed if we got him because I think we have a good chance at Haaland, but if Kane does join us and we get a motivated Kane with Pep coaching him he could be brilliant. I don’t care about his Tottenham form right now you don’t go from Golden boot and best playmaker to shit over the summer the quality is still there. Plus with KDB and Cancelo. The chances we create as a team Kane will score in this City team.
 
>> Kane’s gone in January has to be.
First I've heard of this. At all. Whether or not Conte rates Kane - there's no goddamn way he's moving in the winter window.

A lot of what you say makes sense. But where on earth is this idea that Kane could be got for 60 to 70m coming from. He isn't leaving spurs for any less than 120m. No way are they accepting half their asking price for a player with 3 years on his contract. I wouldn't concern myself what the papers claim Conte is or isn't getting or has or hasn't been promised. It makes zero sense for them to sell Kane 'cheap' and replace him with players that actually cost more than him. And nobody should be daft enough to pay what they want for him.

We should go in for vlahovic just to get Conte wound up and fuming with levy and leave them with not only a pissed off Kane but a pissed off Conte.
 
If we move out Sterling and bring in Kane the team will benefit 100%. Wages will roughly be the same. Outlay will be under 100m now levy has been shown his arse. I trust Pep. Kane will get 20 goals per season no bother in this team. We will function better as a unit and it will take the pressure off the midfielders. I don’t care who he plays for or if he is going through a rough patch. The lad is a quality footballer.

Trust the scouting process it’s been pretty decent up to now. Unless we are trying to get the rags to buy him and in that case we will also win;)

So one minute your saying that Kane would get 20 goals a season for City and is a quality player , but by the end of your post you are saying that we are tricking scum into buying him, and because they do we also get an advantage because they have overspent and he is past it ,am i correct ? because you sort of contradict yourself .

Genuine question (and not related to the exchange of opinion above), do you really still want the club to sign Harry Kane?

Last summer, I can get. But now as things are, do you really want to see him playing for us, even at a conservstive lets call it 120m fee assuming Levy totally caves?
Click to expand...
No I don't want us to sign him and I am very sure we won't go back. Pep clearly wanted him though, he's spoke about him for a long time so this idea hes not a player who would fit is just nonsense, City aren't going to force players on him.

However it doesn't change he's still a very good player and as I said, he's had a shit summer with the Euros and then coming back to that car crash of a managerial disaster that only got worse until Conte which is likely to go tits up as well.

Why people think he's just happy go lucky Harry I don't know, there is this opinion players are just robots incapable of being impacted by things which is wrong.

Phil.
You are inherently implying that a Manager or Coaching staff's role includes no 'motivational' element???
Your view on the 'professionalism' aspect is a bit of an over simplification, don't you think?

We all have emotions that can't just be managed with huge amounts of cash. With the best intent in the world, if my best mate shagged my GF (without my consent I should add) and then offered me an obscene amount of money to forget it, I don't think we could carry on as if nothing had happened.

I can tell you that Bernardo was so badly impacted by the racism accusation that the club thought he was mentally done, he was so crestfallen by it.

Emotions certainly can come in to the equation when it impacts on-field performance.
