I agree with that and i think we were put off by the prices this summer.By the same logic, the fact City didn't really go for Kane in the end and decided to bin it, would suggest that thought process, or any other target we looked at, might he encouraging enough, otherwise surely would have gone a lot heavier for Kane.
I don't think we maintained the pursuit as much as is assumed. There was only really one supposed bid rumoured. At a push 2 if we try really hard to convince ourselves. Which to me feels like he was an option rather than the main target. Probably felt it was doable when the player wanted it, but at a much lower price, and walked away with lots of time left.
Lets see what January or next summer brings, so much can change by then.
On your final point, all the lore reason to target players that are right for the club, and not for a manager. Long term. Not that I think there is much in it at this point.
Yeah, why we let Sergio leave before getting in any replacement is still baffling to me.Still don’t get the fact that with kun leaving this was supposed to be the most important transfer of them all replacing a city legend and to not even bid for Harry Kane is quite simply ridiculous and it’s naive to say we are ok with going into defending out title and also making a push to go one better than the champions league final but if anything we have regressed and stood still . We will almost certainly not sign haaland because we don’t get in bidding wars which leaves another go at Kane who will be a year older. But at least we got another midfielder in . It’s still being mentioned because its difficult to get your head round the reasoning behind it .

Maybe, but my point is, i would've liked to had a replacement in the door before we officially let him go.Because the likelihood of Sergio being fit for more than 15 games is very slim. Complete waste of wages.
Squad spaces and releasing a player who is never fit clears up £250k a week. I can’t imagine Sergio would have been happy to wait around until we found a replacement for him.Maybe, but my point is, i would've liked to had a replacement in the door before we officially let him go.
