Harry Kane

[LangleyBlue1970]

Maybe somebody should. Ask yourself why we've just started a new season without a striker when we've all known for well over a year that Agüero wouldn't be here.
And this is not the first time that we've been left without adequate replacements for players who have left.

Yet we continue to expand our trophy haul and be favourites for every competition we enter.
In regards to the striker situation, there was the Euros, which England reached the final of. That meant a period of rest for the players after. Grealish only signed 2 weeks ago, but his transfer was more straight forward due to his release clause.

Kane's transfer is taking time due to two further elements - the unfortunate timing of our fixture v Spurs and one Daniel Levy. I would suspect it will be concluded this week, now the the fixture is out of the way.

What would you have done if you had Txiki's job? What would you have done, and who would you have signed to ensure that by the time we kicked off at half 4 yesterday we had a striker signed up to replace Aguero?

It looks so easy when playing Fifa '21 as well, doesn't it.

Disagree - Innsbrukblue is spot on.

Flappers out in force I see

You can say flappers if you like! But how are we going to progress? We can’t carry on winning the Carabao Cup and Premier League and only making it to the semi final of the FA Cup and final of the Champions League with this fucking squad! We’re doomed! Doomed I tell you!

Add to that there’s only enough Semi Skimmed Cravendale for the cafetière this morning which means I’ll have to forego the Bite Size Shredded Wheat for Hovis Toast. And there’s only two slices of that! Shit planning. We knew we were short of milk and bread yesterday and did fuck all about it. No sympathy.

We created 2.24 xG yesterday and Spurs had a clean sheet.

Man United created 1.16 xG against Leeds and had 5 goals.

We need Kane. You can deny it all you want but the false 9 system only works continuously season after season if the individual playing that role is Leo Messi. For that matter the false 9 Leo Messi tactic also had an expiry date, which coincided with Guardiola leaving Barcelona.

With all due respect, you must have been watching a different game. While, admittedly, our failings weren't limited to the forward line, we created sufficient chances yesterday to come away with at least a point had we started with a decent forward. We were lacking any physical presence up front.

Lol. Read properly my friend. I agree with you completely.

If you mean signing Lukaku, that again is far more straight forward than signing Kane.

Do we have a plan B if we don't get kane?

Defensive midfield looks weak as does left back.

But you don't notice these weaknesses when the rest of the squad is on song.

Its been 2 seasons without a proper left back - Mendy should be playing league 1 level football how gets into the team is beyond any sane persons judgement and Rodri is not the answer in Midfield resembles a tank - far too slow
- still Kane will be coming and at least he knows where the back or the net is !

At the very least not relied on Raheem Sterling and Gabriel Jesus to be our main goal threats.

We have had different CFs move in different summers and City missed the boat with quite a few them. Example - Felix who moved to Atleti.

Ok maybe CFs are a rarity, we can count that out.

Why has the squad moved 7 transfer windows without signing a LB? Are you sure that there are no LBs in the world who would improve us?

Are you sure that since the last 6 transfer windows the club was unable to find someone who fits in a similar profile to Fernandinho? Yes they signed Rodri, but he isn't a similar profile to Fernandinho and he is more suited to a different set of games.
