Good question and difficult to answer unfortunately. I'm not undermining the achievements of our club, I'm simply pointing out that our strategy for replacing key figures has not been great. How long did we all discuss getting a replacement in for Vinny, even when he was still here and playing, for us to let him leave and then try and pick someone that suited us in Dias? We were rather fortunate that Phil was as effective as he was or else we would have been left in the cold when Silva left. We got told nearly 6 months ago that Aguero was leaving, yet here we are 10 days away from the window shutting and it not even looking close. I expect Fern to leave in the summer, who do we have that's a quick out and out DM?
I understand it looks like I hate our transfer dealings but I can assure you I really don't, we always get good players - what is fairly evident is that we are poor when it comes to replacing our key players and doing so in plenty of time. We've gone from having 4 strikers in Aguero, Tevez, Dzeko and Balotelli to having 1 striker who actually looks better when he's not playing as a striker - that might not be problematic in your eyes but I genuinely think its poor planning.
You keep contradicting yourself. Says it all
Update: (my words these, so I’m paraphrasing….. remember this!)
City went back to Kane late Friday night with a revised proposal, based on a potential loss of longer term earnings from image rights (the whole not being number 10 thing). We will know tomorrow if he’s happy, but there will be no counter offer.
We haven’t tried to speak to Spurs directly for a week now, because of the unrest in the Kane camp.
If Kane is happy with the new proposal, we will speak to Spurs. If he’s not, we will pull the plug.
Its D-Day (metaphorically speaking).
If his image rights from being number 10 are a problem. Honestly, fuck the guy. So much for being motivated by achievement.
The players at City have all prioritised trophies. That's worked well.
Again it’s about getting the best commercial deal possible, it’s a negotiation lever they are pulling!
The only lever he should be pulling is putting in a transfer request. Mahrez, Rodri, KDB, Raz didn't pull this shit. If he wants to waste the rest of his career finishing 8th with Spurs ... enjoy.

Everyone has been asking where you were and coming up with all sorts of theories. You wouldn’t believe the number of posts it generated.WTF I've not been on here for a few hours and this jumps over 3000 what has happened

Obviously, lots of posts have been made whilst you’ve been away..WTF I've not been on here for a few hours and this jumps over 3000 what has happened
ThisHas anyone possibly had the thought that it’s not Kane himself who’s concerned about the number 10 and it could be his brother or the new media team he’s hired who just want to make the most amount of money for themselves?
Exactly. You DONT KNOW what’s been going onWaspish, I understand what you're saying and if you have a look at my history - I'm as optimistic and positive about our club win or lose. However, there's no getting in the way that we shouldn't be chasing after a single target and complaining that we're not getting him 6 months after we knew our greatest striker was off - we'll never know what's gone on and I really do hope we get Kane but what's our Plan B if it doesn't go ahead?
personally i don’t think kane gives a rats ass about his shirt number. it will be purely his team trying to squeeze as much money as they possibly can for him/them out of this deal.
Maybe but who is in charge here seems Kane could tell them to forget it but if all this is true he is just letting them get on with it! Players hey can’t control there own destiny!
I get that he's pissed off but surely if this was a deal breaker we should've known about it before now? Jack's had the number for almost 3 weeks!
Bang on. If Kane was at all fussed about the shirt number he would have mentioned it at some point in the months and months between us approaching him and Grealish's number being decided.
Do you ever post in the post match thread when we win?
Just a quick look at your posts and it's all the one's when we got beat.
Isn't that a coincidence!!
Not undermining the achievements of the club?
Yeah whatever mate.
Well said. Ridiculous posts dressed up as a concerned “supporter”
