Harry Kane

[Petetheblu]

Erm...right...heard a little bit of info. As always, the disclaimer: there's always a chance info could be wrong, but once again, I trust the person who told me as they work within the game, and they've told me loads before correctly.

They messaged me on Saturday morning saying that they've heard that City want Kane, yes, obviously, but key bit is not as much as Pep personally wants Kane and Pep is very much the driver behind the move. The catch is now apparently that the club would prefer a 'project' striker like Vlahovic.

That's all I've heard. I've don't know the reasoning, so all I can do is my guess - i'd say maybe it's the price? Kane at a reasonable price? Sure? At the numbers quoted? Nah, Vlahovic.

Sorry if that's just a repeat of what is already out in the world, or not - I hand on heart don't know as I'm 100% not really sure where we're up to with this Kane stuff as I've been away and intensely busy personally for the last few days! I was getting married when that message came through heh.

As always, just passing it on in good faith to you guys. Fuck knows what will happen. If it's true though that it's mainly a Pep thing, it doesn't really fill me with joy regarding the Kane chances, but who knows I guess.

Congratulations mate......

How do you know it isn't?
Nobody does.

There's a week to go and there are little to no positive noises from a City side, other than we haven't given up the move. Levy holds all the cards and doesn't want to sell.

Kane will either stay or we'll get rinsed. And the former looks more likely given our negotiating hand has weakened with the clock ticking and Kane no longer forcing the move or kicking up a stink.

£75m + £25m add ins is an embarrassing offer for a player like Kane. Reading between the lines we’ve tapped Kane up and went in with a low ball offer and tried to bully Spurs and levy

Take the info with a pinch of salt. Not to say to dismiss it but don't take it as 100% true.

If we offered £150m it would be made up of bonuses.

He still sold all of them less than 12 months after saying, categorically, that they wouldn't leave.
Also what about Berbatov?

Updated my reply - "3rd article is from 2007. Berbatov was not sold that window like Levy said, he was sold in 2008."

We can argue over technicality and the choice of words. But the reality is that each transfer window is different. Pep said Bernardo will stay at City as long he was the manager. And here he is getting sold. Things change. What matters is that in a transfer window if Levy says, "no chance I'm not selling at any price", then usually he means it. That might change later in a different transfer window. In 2022, Levy might be willing to sell Kane for 100 mil.

To be clear, I'm not an ITK. I'm not saying that we won't get Kane this window because the messaging has been a little different. It's "150 million or fuck off". So maybe if we pay that, we'll get Kane. Who knows. All I'm saying is that the examples that you're providing prove the opposite of what you're suggesting.

Hope we walk away for good if it's not this summer then its not at all. We should really make kane force his way out if he really wants the move?

Providing they can't pin anything on us, I don't mind that we are hated as long as City come out on top.

If I had the £150m I think I'd strengthen DM, LB and make a stop gap forward signing. And place on hold a long term striker. I think everyone rates Kane but his age is not ideal.

true a box standard striker can be 20 goals a season ? a kane or haaland would be 30 goals a season
so the price of them 10 extra goals does not add up to £150million does it

the long term future of manchester city is more important than winning the champions league in my book
buying the best 11 players in the world and having the best manager does not guarantee winning the uefa champions league because its board and setup is so against manchester city and they don't like us

Wind your neck in fella.

It's not looking good is it?

 

[BongoBlue]

Think the window will close and City, Spurs and Kane will still be ‘talking’. And so will we on here.

I don’t even think this is a saga, fuck all has happened since he did an interview with rat face.

Id take a late bid for Bob Taylor at this rate.

Ahh the "Goal Thief" himself...:)

1st article is from 2012. Bale was not sold that window like Levy said, he was sold in 2013.

2nd article is from 2011. Modric was not sold that window like Levy said, he was sold in 2012.

3rd article is from 2007. Berbatov was not sold that window like Levy said, he was sold in 2008.

If anything, it proves that when Levy is a stubborn fucker who only sells on his own terms.

I can’t remember the fees thrown around and what they went for, but could it be the case with those he could get another year and expect the same fee. With Kane if he gets another year it will probably cost a big hit in the fee he gets for him.Can he afford that for another year.

Was Charlie Kane at your wedding......?
