Harry Kane

[Centurions]

good points

You should use a smiley of some description when making sarcastic remarks.

You were being sarcastic, were you not?

I voted no as I want to sign Haaland, not Kane but I’d rather have Kane than no one. That wasn’t an option.

As I'm sure a large majority did

Your comparing Kane who does get injured with Ferna who hardly ever gets injured and is the exception rather than the rule.

He does get injured yes, as does every other player, but the difference is at Spurs he’s constantly rushed back, with us he would be properly managed and rotated, and looking at his Premier League appearances and goals I reckon he’s doing alright for someone that’s injury prone

His numbers and age make him exciting. He could flop like any other potential signing, but £150m for 10 years sits better than £150m for 4-5.

I’ll get over it when Kane bags his 50th goal of the season, I expect.

Ha, think Kane will be a great signing for us mate

Kane reminds me too much of the Van Persie deal Fergie did , after City won the league on goals Fergie shat himself thinking City might add Van Persies goals to our already formidable attack , so he threw the works at getting Van Persie to United , so much so he gave the 30 year old , injury ravaged striker an unbelievable 4 year deal on massive wages , he won the league for Utd and gave Fergie the title in his final season. However he then reverted to type and spent the next few years in and out the treatment room on massive wages which no other club could match , Van Persie was a short term deal which became a massive albatross round the rags neck , i fear Kane could become the same for City , a 30 year old with glass ankles and on a contract making him impossible to shift...
I really hope City continue to concentrate on bringing in younger players on the up, like KDB , Sane ,Bernardo and more recently Diaz and Grealish rather than players close to their sell by date such as Van Persie ,Alexis Sanchez , Ibrahimovic ,Falcao and Cavani , all of which , like Kane , have no sell on value and reek of short term planning...

We don't have a formidable attack, we need Kane.

Kane is also 28, not 30.

I am not arsed if its a short term deal if he comes here and bags 100 goals in 4 years which leads us to another 10 trophies. We aren't here to make a profit, the academy already does that.

This needs to be done ASAP. We need a striker and he ticks the boxes. I wanted Haaland but it’s clear he isn’t coming to us, so go and get Kane.

Add to this it's always a big story when he's injured because Spurs are seriously weakened whenever it happens. It's his profile. A bit like Van Dijk or Fernandes.

On the one hand, I get it. Kane isn't a superstar like that, he's not a flair player about to announce himself, he's not a signing that will break the internet. Another factor is that for many, he'll never quite feel like a "City player" in the way that Haaland could've done after years. For some, he'll always feel like "Harry from Spurs who came and did well for us", almost like an extra line of code to an already-existing algorithm, than an essential part of the code itself.

On the other, much bigger, hand -give your head a fucking wobble and get hyped about the best striker in the league.

He scores penalties like a psychopath. He's the biggest aerial threat since the Luftwaffe. He's been giving every part of the country trauma by slamming goals past every team in the Premiership for a decade. He's as clinical as a surgeon's knife. He can ping passes across the pitch that KDB would be proud of. He's willing to get back and defend. He's got every chance of ending up as the league's all-time top bagsman, he's wanking over the thought of coming here, and Pep Guardiola has been insistent that he's the right man for two years. I know all the flaws and risks, but I can't help but feel we're becoming a tad entitled as a fanbase for not being hyped up the rafters about this being a possibility.

I agree.. I just always envisaged that when we went massively large fee wise on a player it would be on a hugely exciting talent that would grow with the club.

Kane is totally the opposite of what I thought our marquee signing would be that is all.

Don’t think for one moment I don’t think he will be an amazing addition.. he’s an absolute beast of a forward and his all round game is fantastic. He will put serious numbers up and we will score a shed load.

That said, I’m more excited about Grealish who is probably likely to have about half the influence on numbers and results as Kane does.

Yes I’m weird.

 

[TheGoat]

It's the equivalent of signing Shearer or Lineker in their prime.

It is weird why people are not excited about this.

It’s literally signing Harry Kane in his prime.

probably going to be record Prem scorer, record England scorer IN HIS PRIME PEOPLE!!

cannot understand why people keep banging on about Haaland being a 10 year signing, I would be surprised if he lasts 3 years at any club as he will be on the transfer rollercoaster every few years with his agent stirring shit up all the time about wages and wanting to leave etc etc.

people cannot see a striker at his peak time, they focus on an injury record that is not too different to our own legendary striker, a record affected by the fact his current club need him so badly that they play him when obviously not remotely fit.

they also seem to try and diminish his abilities and what he has already achieved in a lesser team rather than look forward on what he could do with us but are happy to look at Haaland totally the opposite way even though he is unproven in our league

as for the discussion on who he supports, its irrelevant, Haaland and his crew are interested only in cold hard cash £££
