60M leave it or take it

Just an incredibly uninspiring option IMO.

30 professional goals in his career. Not good enough for the best team in the world (yet).

This isn’t what I said. Maybe we won’t sign one, but what I meant isn’t that Pep told the board “I only want Kane”. He had his list. And it’s probable that he told them, “among these, I would prefer Kane”. And maybe the club, confident they could seal the deal, have been strongly focused on him — though, who knows...
options and actually
If we don’t sign a striker, I certainly owe a couple of people here an apology, since they made that bet months ago when I said it would happen 100% because the club would have to be stupid not to sign one. I still think that’s the case.

Gus, you are like Marmite..personally like Marmite..speak sense, and discuss players with insight..not just one line posts, but a reasoned opinion..keep going mate, a good poster.

Thank you. It’s good to hear this sometimes since not everything is nice all the time :) I’ll be following your posts now too

Same reason to not sign Lewandowski from Lech Poznan or Luis Suarez from Gronigen.

Not really. By the time Dortmund signed Lewandowski he'd scored 9 goals for Poland and 32 goals in 58 games for Poznan (Including 6 goals in 16 EUFA cup appearances). Dortmund signed him for 4.5m Euros.

Suarez had scored 10 goals in 27 appearances at Nacional, then scored 10 goals in 28 appearances at Groningen before Ajax bought him for 7.5m Euros.

My first argument against is that 4.5m and 7.5m Euros are nothing like the £60m+ that would be required to by this lad (even accounting for 'football inflation' - which is a crap metric). If we were gonna sign this lad for £20m I'd feel a bit better about it, but £60m get's you a Bernardo Silva in this market.

My second point is that we are in no way similar to Dortmund or Ajax. We are the best club in the world. We don't need to take risks on young players. We have the financial capability to buy established players who can guarantee goals. If we follow a Dortmund or Ajax type transfer policy, we stay at the top.

best realistic option out there

Didn't I read that a deal was already in place with him as a fall back option in case the Kane deal fell through?

Rather have Ronaldo for a year then look for a quality long term replacement
