Harry Kane

[Dobsy]

I keep hearing this but let’s look at his stats for the past 5 seasons:

16/17: 38 played 35 goals
17/18: 48 played 41 goals
18/19: 40 played 24 goals
19/20: 34 played 24 goals
20/21 46 played 31 goals

I don’t think he is that injury prone. He seemingly averages about 40 games a season which is about the same as KDB has played for us this year to put it into perspective. His ankle issues I would imagine could be managed better with a lighter work load. As it is now if he is fit he starts every game, with us he would be rotated and kept fresh like with every other outfield city player.

But most importantly just look at that goal to game ratio. He is absolutely world class and would improve us as a side immeasurably imo. Kane is a guaranteed 30 goals a season striker in this side for at least the next 4 seasons imo

Can't disagree on your numbers, I think that's reasonable.

I suppose the key will be price. I'm convinced he'd cost £150m. Is 4 seasons worth that? Imo absolutely not and that's why I think it would be a big mistake.

He should never have signed that contract.

Why are there multiple posters on here who call Mbappe Mbappa? Have I missed something?

Are those the same people that call Haaland Haarland?

Some passionate viewpoints on this thread.

My tuppenceworth is we will never sign Kane, rightly, because the outlay would be too high.

City have a keen eye on value and balancing it out across the squad. This strategy works. See the PSG win for evidence. One super expensive superstar injured = they couldn't compete with a balanced squad. Kane would cost £150m for maximum 4 seasons of an increasingly injury prone player. That's 2.5x our record signing. There's no way City touch that with a 100 foot bargepole. Thanks be to God.

typical rag signing.

The most pressing issue regarding Kane at present is that he has to appreciate that he is going bald and to cut his daft hair

I don’t expect Kane to be a serious target based on likely valuation by Tottenham of over £100M for a 28 year old.

Consider when was the last time this club bought a player as old as Harry Kane and the notion of shattering our club record spend on one who is injury prone seems unlikely.

I see "Steffan" alot.

You often see Fernandinho, Adarabioyo or Zabaleta spelt incorrectly (fairly understandably tbh).
