Yep. It is amazing.They've just signed that centre back for 45m and people say they're skint. 70m spent so far would suggest they're very flush or they know Kane is going
Bound to be, expecting pretty much the same start as last season tbqhIt will take Grealish time too. Start of the season could be tough.
I doubt Delap is ready to be thrown in at tge deep end for us or anyone else in the PL. I'd keep him and build up his game time slowly.If the stoke deal isn't signed, I would offer them Delap on a year long loan(no option to buy, we want him back), and if he wants to go Laporte losing I am Eric not my prefered option but once a player wants to go let them I say
They don't need a LB so Mendy off the table and Berny itching for a return to the Med.
They won't have a striker and their CB are average, plus I think Delap would get more out of playing in the Prem in a top 6-10 team.
Just a thought, might be a bad one but if they want players in the deal I see no one else we want to lose.
I think the opposite. I think this is virtually dead.
Where is he at the moment, never see him in any training vids?I doubt Delap is ready to be thrown in at tge deep end for us or anyone else in the PL. I'd keep him and build up his game time slowly.
I would not let him out on loan if we don't buy a striker. Thing is though I think Torres and Jesus are more likely to play as a striker if we set up that way.I doubt Delap is ready to be thrown in at tge deep end for us or anyone else in the PL. I'd keep him and build up his game time slowly.
Another injury I thinkWhere is he at the moment, never see him in any training vids?
I agree.
At this point in time.
Not because of what Kane's said bte, which is totally predictable and to script. But because of what Pep said. He is clearly happy to portray that this is unlikely, arguably even impossible.
For now.
Messi moving fast only in the eyes of ParisI guess when City first spoke to Kane the latter gave his true reflection of the “gentleman’s agreement” which would have given City encouragement to bid.
The problem is that Kane misjudged his conversation with Levy hence him going on strike.
City have to wait for Kane and Levy to be on the same page and then start negotiations again. They might then be able to settle at around £125 million. At the moment I don’t think either side is budging.
From our side it’s very unusual to have no alternative to a target. The Messi situation may actually help but it looks like that’s moving too quickly for us to use to our advantage.
it is starting to look like if we don’t get Kane we don’t buy a striker. Now it’s better to buy nobody than make an expensive mistake but letting Aguero go and not replacing him doesn’t seem very clever either.
Its not that we can’t win things without a striker, as we proved last season, it’s more that we would be even better with a really good one.
Kane is obvious but if get near the end of August and there’s nothing doing I really hope we have come up with a clear alternative. Right now I can’t think of one.
