Harry Kane

[mccity]

If mullock is to be believed then something fishy is going on;

We’ve either lost interesting, but then why haven’t we briefed about it? As we always do when we lose interest in signing a player,
Or we’re waiting for something. Which could be as simple as selling a player first or it could be trying to make levy sweat a bit and meet us at £140mil.

It’s all conjecture though, so who knows? I’m of the mind that city have to have a plan in all this! Plus there’s 10 days left, doesn’t seem like a lot of time but city could meet the valuation, or reasonably close in a heartbeat, so things could change quickly

As I've said a few times I'm of the belief that this crosses the finish line very late, once Tottenham have sorted themselves out.

In that timeframe it's in Tottenham's interests that it comes across like there's a very realistic chance Kane stays, so that potential selling clubs/agents don't rip them off. On the same front, it's in City's interests to back that up so as to not undermine Tottenham's efforts and compromise everything.

If Tottenham sign players for good value then they'll charge City less, but if City leak something out and Tottenham overpay then City might be forced to overpay themselves. I suspect that if push comes to shove City WILL overpay if they have to and are trying very hard to avoid this scenario.

I believe the reaction from both clubs to the wedding story was very telling.

Once we start reading from Tottenham that Kane isn't for sale, and confirm that he's staying, then we can start to feel a bit nervous. But so far it's all been about City not being willing to pay the fee, which is likely all PR.

Don’t know if we will sign Kane but one thing is obvious we definitely need a striker full stop in my opinion..

 

[MCFC1993]

well i'm sure if we keep doing nothing then magically levy will lower his price by 50m, can't see any risk with this approach

If Simon Mullock is talking then it's come from the club.

Sounds to me like £120m is our limit.

Don’t think the situation has changed for us in a while. We’ll probably go to £150m but we need to sell first.

The clue was the comments from Pep that we got Grealish for £40m. It’s clear the club is taking a net spend approach to fees.

A good line of thinking! You’re right with the wedding story, reaction was a bit telling.

if it’s the case, you do have to wonder what if Tottenham have no luck with transfers for some reason? Although I bet levy isn’t too bothered about potentially raking in £150mil and then not having to reinvest it!
All makes sense when it’s lain out like that

There is NOTHING new in the story from The Mirror. It won't stop the flapping though I'd imagine.

This kind of makes it look like Spurs are getting increasingly desperate for more money from us. Selling club.

mullock is more hit and miss than he used to be

 

[manimanc]

Get Lewandowski.

 

[andyhinch]

We’ll make 40 points without him no problem.
