Harry Kane

[Cityfan]

I am reading a report by Paul Hirst, whom, I consider as Tier 0 for Man City, saying that in order to purchase Harry Kane, Man City will have to sell a player first.

This seems to be now Manchester City's first way of telling us that they are tracking back.

As things stand, our last non release clause signing is Riyad Mahrez in summer of 2018.

For our supposed expertise at football operations, that seems like a damning indictment on recruitment.

Why are deals falling down because we cannot pay the extra 15M or so? Ok and if the deals are not going through, where is that money actually going? We still have gaping round holes in the squad being filled up by Guardiola with square pegs.

If the board knew that they needed to sell someone to finance both the deals, why was the Jack Grealish deal prioritised over signing someone like Kane who was the only missing piece in our armor, in terms of offense?

I want to believe that Khaldoon is not just an empty vessel making a lot of noise in his post season reviews but at this moment, 7 windows without a LB, few more without an athletic DM and 5 years since signing a CF reeks to me of the same.

I don't recall Kayky, Cancelo, Ake or Dias being release clauses. (Or Carson or Steffen come to that)

And no one has gone near Ric,,,, not worth £100m.

Amended.

This feels like we walked into a car showroom and expressed interest in a car that no one else wanted at that price. The dealer then ratchets the price up and yet we’re still hanging around the showroom . Why?

Kane only ever desired City,it wasn't a case of no one else wanted him.

That is the reason this deal will get done.

True that, it's been a disastrous few seasons.

Ake had a relegation release clause

Dias complete package - Fee+Otamendi was equivalent to his 65M RC

Ferran Torres - Signed a contract in 2016 or 17 I believe which had a release clause for the amount we paid.

Rodri - RC

Might have missed Cancelo in the midst though. So, my bad.

Kayky hasn't even step foot in Manchester and most likely will never.

Carson was a loan and then free signing. Almost no negotiations on the same.

Steffan was also never intended to put his steps on Manchester soil before he turned out good on his loan.

You still get the jist of it. If we are going out to make an important first team signing, we are mostly exclusively paying only release clauses.

And I forgot Jack Grealish too.

Torres had no release clause, he was just down to the last year of his contract.

I thought the Grealish transfer was a circus but it had fuck all on this shit show
