Harry Kane

What did he say?
I turned off at the final whistle.
He said that with him not being in the Spurs squad and being the only England not to be involved in the weekend gams, plus him probably not even being at the game meant that there was definitely something to the rumour that he is leaving Tottenham.
 
Delap and Torres are nowhere near the standard we require.
Kane wasn't when he first got in the Spurs side.

We were in a similar situation 2 years ago. Kompany had retired and Leicester wanted £90m for Maguire. In the end City refused to go any higher and he went to Man Utd for £85m. City predictably saw their remaining defenders get injured (Laporte and Stones) and Livrpool romped away with the league. But 12 months later City bought a better defender in Dias and won the league.

So don't do the deal if it's judged not to be in the interests of the club.
 
That’s bold. What makes you so sure?

I’ve seen them play. And the fact Delap never gets a look in. He has potential but he’s not yet a top 4/CL level main striker.

Torres offers very little, I believe he’s mid-table Spanish side level. Too weak, slow, no dribbling or heading ability. Never a top class striker. At best he’s an average winger, albeit a slow one that can’t beat his man.
 
I’m hopeful it’s gone a bit quiet on Harry as we’re waiting for Spurs to sort out replacements so it all can happen simultaneously. Spurs fans then won’t feel so hard done by and Levy can position it as he wants. But we get Kane.

However I also think we showed glimpses of what we’re going to be about this season in yesterday’s game, yes we fell short to a fitter team but can’t help but be excited by the 15 mins we were on it and to add to that we have a lot of players to come back.

Too optimistic for the transfer forum?
 
£150m for kane is silly money , let Levy keep a frustrated unhappy player , we ar enot desperte for a striker we had a brilliant season without the services of Aguero , and we can do the same again. Haaland has to be the man , either £150m now (with Riola taking his 25%) or £70m next summer , would rather wait a year for Haaland than have Kane next week for similar money.
We waited too long and should have sorted striker long ago with a surer thing availability wise. We now look the club who is fine with check booking our way to filling gaps breaking back to back transfer records instead of looking at younger less expensive talent. At this point we're painted in a corner... a Kaneless squad gave Levy a bargaining chip. We looked lack luster, outplayed and outhustled. if we end up w/o a true striker this season we will fight for top 4 much less win it and that's not flapping, it's a fact. Others have strengthened greatly and over come injuries while we are now playing a different chorus of not having replaced Kompany years before we needed to now in the key of Aguero.

But he is now, that’s why we need to sign him.

Personally I don’t think Maguire should even have been a consideration; we should have paid what it took the season before to get van Dijk! But that’s ancient history now and Dias proved to be a remarkable signing.

I think signing the best striker in the country has to be in the best interests of the club, particularly as all we lack is someone to finish the chances we keep creating and missing.
