Cristiano Ronaldo

They both said that in their opinion Kane was coming. Not that it was definitely happening or they had info saying it was done. This fuzzying of the memory is why a lot of people don't bother sharing information.

This.

They both said we were after Kane. And we were. Confirmed by our manager.

Anything beyond that was basically opinion.
"IMO he'll sign"
"I reckon it'll get done"
"It feels like it'll happen"
stuff like that.

Neither of them said it was done. It's a thankless task, being an "ITK", because if a deal doesn't happen that suddenly means they were bullshitting the entire time. Which obviously isn't the case. But it makes fans, who invested themselves in a potential transfer, feel better about themselves.

Surely Pep would put the teams needs before any personal bad feeling (if there is any)

We could be in for some fun

I'd hope our current squad would support Pep like that.

Im not bashing them, as I appreciate their info. But you’ve just said their sources had said it was done, so sometimes they get things wrong.

Kane saga is finished.

How often does an opportunity to sign one of the very best players of all time suddenly present itself?

How often does it present itself for 25m?

No doubt every top club and their dog will be falling over themselves to sign him.

We absolutely need to be at the table, particularly as the money we were using for Kane is ready and waiting to be spent.

Question is though, has it presented itself?

This will probably be an unpopular opinion but I don't agree that we should sign him, if we can. He is 36 years old and would cost a load of money when there are younger strikers for the same outlay available who would also score goals in our team. Surely our scouts can find some prospects or young hungry strikers that will score a shit load in our team?

Just an opinion mate, but this is madness to me.

But don't you think there will be PSG, MUFC and a number of other clubs thinking similar? This seems to be a long way from happening.

I don't think he's what United or PSG need at all, and I think he slots perfectly into this new and improved City team without us having to change much of anything. Not sure how close it is to happening, but if, and it is a big if, it does come through I think it's ideal for everyone involved. That both clubs and the player would be happy is probably the biggest indication that it could happen.

No they never said that. They said they personally think it will get done. No different from what I said. They said that their sources were confident. That's not the same thing.

To be honest I don’t think any part of his game is particularly strong. He goes missing, he’s too slow and doesn’t look like he has a striker’s instinct at all. He’s a slow winger who doesn’t dribble or anything. More suited to Italy or Spain.

I think he's shown some great instinctive finishing so far, and his movement is excellent

 

[Bluesiam]

I'd take Ronaldo, but with somewhat clenched teeth. I don't like the guy but think he would do really well with the current City team.
One condition though: That Simone Biles dismount celebration has to go.

Sorry, I misread your post. But still, our two top ITK’s have been confident about Kane all summer and Billyshears was more than confident at one point. Nobody should rely on ITK’s no matter how good. It’s just a bit of fun most of the time.
