Harry Kane
- Thread starter Super Joey Hart
- Start date
I think what needs to be realised us that this sounds like a complicated deal is get done. A huge deal like this can't be done overnight and demands lots of work to be put into it. For there not be any alternatives City must be 100% sure they can get this deal over the line. It will get done when it gets done. Am still very confident this will get over the line.
The problem for me is that we appear to be at a standstill. Spurs is a leaky ship, and City aren't much better if half of what TH says on here has gotten out. By all accounts they are still not moving on the price.
That was fine 2 weeks ago but we have reached the point where not signing a striker is materially damaging the team's performance for the season.
How much were the 3 points we dropped on Sunday worth? How much is having Kane in preseason this week worth vs. 2 weeks time? How much is having him available for Norwich worth?
Spending the next 2 weeks knocking £15m off the asking price today is not a victory in any sense if we drop points and Kane is less prepared to hit the ground running.
We'd be doing well to get 4 good seasons out of Kane, and I can't really work out why apparently we're OK with stacking every card in the deck against him in 1 of those 4 seasons by delaying this move to the point where he has no preseason, no time to learn the system, no time to even settle in off the pitch.
No plan B then ?.
Kane
Why are you reluctant to believe we’re not after Mendes when there has been an official club statement saying we aren’t interested this window?What if the reason for us negotiating the Kane price down was so that we can afford a bid for Mendes?
I’m very reluctant to believe that we are not interested in him this summer.
all we had to wait for the Spurs game to be over, but now feels like all we have to wait for their game against Wolves to be over on Sunday?
but if he does not play against Pacos Ferreira for them, or Wolves on Sunday, thats a good sign imo.

Spurs inability to attract a decent striker is the biggest hurdle in all of this.
And as per fab's recent tweet, inter rejected bids from spurs and atleti for Martinez and his agent says he will sign a new deal with inter!
Do we know what the delay is? I'm guessing it's both parties not yet budging. C-suite geezers are mostly alpha males (and borderline sociopathic in my experience), so I'm guessing there's ego at play here, too - lashings of it.The problem for me is that we appear to be at a standstill.

There's also the little fact that we snubbed Messi on a free because we were obsessed with securing Harold.

Maybe they are just very strong magnets.Well Spurs haven't taken down the Harry Kane fridge magnets from their online shop so he's clearly staying. ;-)
