Harry Kane

I think Ronaldo just makes sense. Never thought I would say that but age is not showing he’s still an amazing finisher, he’s morphed into a goal poacher which is exactly what city need right now. 2 year deal then see if Delap develops

Our striker needs to do a lot of work and Ronaldo doesn't have that sort of stamina anymore. Finishing is great but it would kill our playstyle. He can't press nor drop back to get as involved across 90 minutes on a regular. Would be quite desperate to move for him

Yet weirdly you liked it.

I am still gonna wait another 10 days.
But if Kane is still not in
I am going to be fucking livid about the transfer of Messi and Lukaku without a smidgen of any competition from us.

Maybe you should wait until the end of the season, that's the best time to judge.

I thought we just needed a guy in the box to put all those chances away that were always missing ?

We can spend the rest of the window trying to get the price down, but at this point we need to do the deal. We know it, Pep knows it, you better believe Levy knows it.

If Spurs really needed to sell Kane, financially speaking, I think they would have done so already (see Inter and Lukaku). For all the talk of transfers, they've only spent about 20 million this summer.

From their perspective, selling Kane leaves them with no hope of Champions League football next season, and they can't get anyone decent in with the money because nobody wants to go there.

I don't think that's a deal breaker - if it was off, we'd know. But it does mean, IMO, that Levy will hold out for his asking price. Either he keeps Kane, or he softens the blow by making us overpay.

I still believe we'll end up paying 150m with all the add ons. What concerns me is that at the moment it feels less like a negotiation and more like a staring contest.

Both sides seem to think they have the other over a barrel, but there's only one club that actually expects to win things. That's why we have to blink first.

Especially after passing on Lukaku and Messi, which would probably have been easier deals to do.

I don’t think it’s about the price, but more about selling a player for squad size

Yeah but it's also a lot more than that. Can't really doubt the finishing quality of a player like Ronaldo but it makes no sense for us to make that move really. He will definitely score loads but quite desperate and short sighted imo.

Actually I was about to apologise to you as you liked a different post of mine.

Smile back at you. This thread has people on edge, hence the edginess. :-)

Delaps going on loan. Kompany is after him

I’m guessing he’ll only go on loan if we don’t get a striker

Would be great for him although I worry about the gametime he'll get. THB already quite unsettled there apparently
