Harry Kane

[domalino]

I get that he isn’t in his early 20s but he isn’t on his last legs either. Nobody was disappointed that we gave KDB a new contract even though he is 2 years older than Kane.

According to the Prem League site, Kane has only missed something like 35 games since 14/15. He plays far more games than many of our players.

I don’t believe its a gamble. He will score goals. If the club decided that they didn’t want to spend £100m on a player with no resale value, fair enough but we don’t sell our best players anyway. Yaya, Vinny, Merlin and now Aguero all left/leaving for nothing at the end of their successful time at the club and nobody batted an eyelid. If Kane comes here for 5 or 6 years, scores a shitload and we win trophies galore, nobody will give a toss if he goes for nothing at the end of it all.

He'll score goals when he's fit. He will be injured a lot.


I can't see why you'd buy him over Haaland for similar money. One is going to be 28 when he gets here and has a clear recurring ankle injury that's going to get worse, the other is 20 outscores him already.


It seems like everyone who's advocating we sign Kane is pretending he exists in a vacuum where it's Kane or no one.

Think 50m, Jesus & Sterling would be satisfy all parties.

Sterling would be deployed as a RW (fits his abilities) & Jesus would get a run as the main man in attack.

Sterling is originally from london too, so doubt he’d be against that move.

Well it wouldn't fucking satisfy me.

 

[EekC]

The only real comparable striker there is to Kane at the moment is Lewandowski and he made his move to Bayern just before he hit 27, Kane with our players behind him becomes the undisputed best striker in the world.

 

[I'm Blue]

There’s a reason the grealish links haven’t gone.

Which one of Jesus and Sterling does Grealish replace?

 

[City Raider]

If it is about trophies, only one manager guarantees them

Who was/is better at 27, Aguero or Kane? Why will Kane be better than a prime Aguero? in a Pep team. Will someone enlighten me as this is what really matters as to whether Kane to City will be a success. The same question should be asked of Haarland

I don’t think Peps ever had Aguero at his absolute peak. Prior to last season Aguero had maintained his numbers at in & around the 30 goal a season mark under Pep but I think that his slow decline started around the time Pep came. He was obviously still brilliant for a few years, but not quite what he was 2011-2016, probably because of ongoing niggly injuries. Imo peak Aguero would get 40 a season in a Guardiola team.

Lewandowski was 25 when he joined Bayern.

There’s also an argument to say he wouldn’t get ran in to the ground playing for city either.

One thing he won’t get at City is as much game time as he does at Spurs.

Maybe when fit but how often is that going to be

 

[ancoats]

he’s SUCH a Pep forward. He works hard, is an incredible finisher, and has shown this season that he can drop into midfield and play some amazing passes to set up the other forwards.

I’d take him over Haaland in a heartbeat. He’s a leader who’s guaranteed goals. I wouldn’t be surprised if he gets 40+ In a season in this team.

i would be with you on that but for the injuries to his ankles ? everyseason he misses a big part of the season because of getting a knock to them just like aguero ?

haaland is the project you can work with for 10 years. there will always be value in him if we ever sell him after 5 years unlike kane after 4 or 5 years walks away for nothing
