Harry Kane

Marvin said:
Can't see that. He's 28 now. A year later and the deal becomes unattractive for City because the player may have a limited amount of top flight football left. No one else is in for Kane, and yet somehow we're around the £130m mark which is already ridiculous. If at the start of the window you had told me we would be in for Kane and Grealish I would not have been surprised but I am surprised at the fees.

Not sure it makes all that difference. Everyone is trying to justify his price by saying we'll get at least 4 good seasons out of him so if we wait a year the price gets slashed and we still get 3 years out of him. I really don't see us going to the amount Levy wants. In fact I think Levy is pretty much just taking the piss now and has no intention to sell at all and is dragging it out by refusing to engage.

We should tell Kane sorry it's not workable this summer due to Levy being a **** but to be patient and we will be back next summer. That keeps him happy knowing he will get his move and we haven't left him in the lurch and we sign Vlahovic so we have a striker for this season. Also gives us a year to find buyers for the three or four players who want out to free up funds.
 
"Levy won't engage with Man City" in one sentence then seemingly we have increased out bid to £125m ...so who are we negotiating with ? It's all showboating bollox and i really hope we walk away from this unless a figure has been agreed weeks ago and it's all for show to make Levy look like he was fighting to keep him all along.
 
We are to blame in this, it's really come down to £150m or nowt. Just pay the fuckers and get the player.

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.

Wow. Its also been 7 windows of winning everything.

Why will he get his move next summer?
