Harry Kane

[Keeper!]

Not true. He scored 2 against Burnley in a pre-season friendly. Thought we'd signed a belter. Unfortunately all downhill after that.

I was talking about serious debut, at home to Portsmouth?

My mate who was in the army at the same time as Bradbury warned me about him, even playing for the army team said he was poor.

Tell you what, we get Kane done early next week and he makes his debut against Norwich - don't think I've ever been as excited to get in the ground, this will just add to it. :)

Van Persie had a myriad of different injuries right through out his career, Kane has just had the one, although repeatedly and in both ankles. A fit Kane is no brainer no matter the cost but this isn't a fit Kane, it's a long way from the peak Kane, that was 3 years ago. This Kane doesn't physically dominate and bully defenders like he used to, he doesn't look to go in behind half as much as he did. He was like Shearer in his prime, now he's like a mixture of Lampard and late career Rooney. He will still score 30 goals a season but peak Kane would have scored 50 for this City side.

Another thing to note is it has been repeatedly stated Spurs rushed him back, that was Kane each and every time, chasing records. Fair enough we didn't stop him but will Pep if the player says he's fit? Hard to turn down guaranteed goals if the player says he's fit.

I know where you get it from, because reading some stuff on here you could easily believe that Kane was a sick note with bad ankles, but if you actually read his injury stats you’d delete that post.

And I say that as a bloke who doesn’t particularly want Kane.

Pretty sure he scored a hat trick in a pre-season game (Burnley/Blackpool?) and I was convinced we'd signed a world beater. In hindsight, I got that one a bit wrong.

Think he scored twice at Turf Moor. Looked the business then.

He had a stress fracture of his spine soon afterwards and never really recovered, IIRC.

Nicely lining up? Fit, misses Matchday or makes the bench, transfer after?

Hopefully makes the bench comes on for 5 mins when we are 5 up and gives a full stadium wave at FT - transfer announced post game

 

[SilverFox2]

Very much so.

Thanks BS I am glad we are likely to get a striker who actually knows and executes his craft.
Pep has obviously lost patience with our chances made to chances converted ratio and frankly he will be worth whatever we pay if he significantly improves this conversion rate.

 

[SWP's back]

He's not going to.say he hasn't heard anything is he. Then people would stop asking him.

Or he’s just being honest, like he was with Grealish.

agree 100%, both are good players Kane & haaland, Haaland has been doing the business in the German league, but what's the guarantee that he comes to the prem and hits the ground running? what if it takes him 1-2 seasons to get to grips with the premier league? For me Kane is premiership proven and I think thats what we need. But thats my 2pence worth.

Agree with this.

If Kane were to do 'badly' for City he'd still probably give 7/10 performances, if he does well it'll be 9/10.

Haaland is less of a certainty. He could possibly explode and be a 10/10 player, but he could also fail to adapt and become a 5/10.

Kane knows the league and we know him. Less exciting possibly, but more of a certainty probably.

 

[FantasyIreland]

We won’t unfortunately

We kind of did ;-)

What’s crazy is fans still having this thought! we one of the biggest football club in the world! When you want a player you go for them like all the other big clubs do did! The scum done it for years!

Whereas Chelsea, utd, PSG, Bayern.....?
