Harry Kane

[asahartford1]

Whilst we don't have much previous for going big on a player in their late twenty's I find it hard to believe you genuinely think this isn't going to happen.
The chairman made it quite clear that we would be doing business that we don't normally do with age profile a bit higher than we've seen in the past. He also made it clear that Aguero would be replaced by a player worthy of doing so.
I'm not sure how you can come to the conclusion this is impossible a signing when all evidence points to the opposite.
Hes hardly a short term fix either when we'd likely get 4 very good seasons out of him.
I'm not enamoured about the numbers being bandied about and expect them to be exaggerated somewhat but I'm definitely excited to see a bonofide top quality goalscorer fill the void that's been empty for a while now.
It still might fall through and not happen but it won't be for the reasons you state.

Did Guardiola say "We cannot pay 100 million for a striker"

Yes, something along those lines.
I don't belive him though.. :-)

Thats more to do with your knowledge of football and being fetus back then, Shearer was superstar

He wasnt

Come off it.

Off the pitch? Nah. On the pitch he absolutely was.

Soon as Kane dons a blue Jersey all his diving and protestations will be completely ignored.

Not by the pundits and media who have ignored them so far. If he comes to City they will start calling him out for them. I’m starting to accept he could come to us but it’s because of his diving and cheating especially against us that I was against him.

It's a sad indictment of where we are right now when many put a players profile above their actual ability.
By every metric possible, on the pitch he was fucking brilliant.

At Southampton/ Blackburn he was outstanding , but going back to Geordie land was just plain wrong.

Top quality players like Grealish can adapt he will relish it, feel pep will make him into a gundogan type player with skill..

And Gundogan is the perfect example of how he can transform the goal scoring form of a player. Look at Sterling. Same with David Silva. TBH I fancy Pep would be capable of improving any player that has the right attitude.

 

[Berts Neck]

Not my first choice but if he comes will whole heartedly support him. Only concern is that in a coupe of years when Pep leaves we will have quite a few players in their thirties so potentially new manager and need for new faces.
