After the performance given by Gabriel Jesus yeterday, who needs Harry Kane? Jesus is an unselfish grafter, a proper team player who has played for Brazil several times. He is also surrounded by experienced players, and nearly all of them are capable of scoring. Forget Harry Kane, he is too expensive anyway. Keep Jesus as the regular centre-forward instead of paying stupid money for a player who is rapidly approaching the end of his career.

Did you watch the game? He played right wing

Ok. You're selling your A3 'Dusan Tadic' edition.Book price, 25k. Daniel Levy rings you up, comes to have a look, has a quick testdrive. You know your neighbour is well into buying his expensive Range Rover. You're now at the part where he starts kicking the tyres making all sorts of 'hmmm' noises.

How does the status of that deal for his Range Rover affect things for you?

Scenario 1. The deal went through - neighbour let everyone know it was 40k. If he offers you 20k, you'll laugh at him, and keep going until he gets to 23,5 / 24k. Or more.

Scenario 2. The deal has not gone through. All sorts of rumours about them reaching sticking point over 5 grand. This time, you don't know how much money he really can spend. He says he doesn't know if the deal will go through. He'd need a much better offer from them. Otherwise he's not interested in selling - at all. He's also looking at the BMW Lautaro down the road. But then.... after a lot of murmuring, he says he can make a genuine offer of 20k.

You with me? In THAT situation, if you want to sell, then getting him to 22k might seem like a real win.

I reckon that is exactly where we are.

So the deal is pretty much done and the only hold up is what company car Kane gets?

if instagram followers and marketability is what we're after then surely ronaldo for 25m for a year is your option

It has to be considered. Think it would be a fantastic move but not up to us sadly

Who do you want? Delap, Torres are all risks. Ings has moved.

Yup I want the club to take the risk. I wondered why Ings scored for Villa yesterday.

What makes me chuckle in all this is the fact that City have some of the smartest business men in the world, who do multi million dollar deals in their sleep and have never let the city fans down, and the fans still think we are run by the local dodgy butcher and baker consortium that have to Scrabble around to raise cash. The only person I feel sorry for is Levy thinking he can run with the big dogs and piss higher up the wall than Khaldoon and co.Whatever happens in the Kane deal, just remember who owns City and who runs Spurs, just glad it's not the other way around !

any recent updates matty ?

Nothing mate, I don’t think we will hear anything until Monday.

To me no news is good news at the moment

Interesting observation, and a good take on it. In said appearance that Kane isn't moving, it also helps with a side stance of we don't need to sell, and can ask for fair value for our players off clubs looking to come in for them low. Which Pep mentioned a couple times now.

The only thing that maybe slightly throws it is Kane's camp's sources moans about Levy's holding it back with broken promises. But on the other hand, maybe could be why he hasn't kicked up more of a fuss, or handed in a transfer request yet.




Certainly don't think we've lost interest. Either waiting for them to buy (and as above), perhaps us to sell or be close to an agreement to, which i think would be more for perception only. Or, the club know how Levy is, and there is almost no point with offers that aren't late. Sometimes feels like if he has time to reject them and negotiate further, he will. In which case, save the offers and effort for a point when they can work to a deadline.

You may or may not be right but the negotiating late tactic by ourselves hypothesis is a new take and after the thick end of 3000 pages in this thread alone that is no mean feat. Kudos for that mate.

Ridiculous statement

Did you watch the game at all?

He played right wing
