Harry Kane

[citizen_maine]

How do you square that with "Sterling WILL be using that very argument to get the biggest pay increase he can." and the example I gave of De Gea?

I think it was Keiran Maguire's book where the United transfers of Lukaku and Alexis Sanchez were compared. In the accounts, both were almost identical, but it was Sanchez's wage that was used to drive up De Gea's wage.

We can stop now if you like ;)

I doubt you can, as you both seem to want to have the last word

I think you signed Grealish because Pep likes him. There is no real footballing justification for signing him. More like a gift from the owners to Pep.

Is he going to be the next CR7?
No.

Is he better than KDB?
No.

Does he get more goals/assists than Sterling?
No.

Is he an improvement on Foden?
Dunno?

Do City need him?
No.

Does he half nice calves?
Yes.

Will he sell stuff?
Yes.

Does he make Pep happy?
Yes.

Hotel? Trivago.

Because he, like all footballers, will be doing that now anyway. Because that’s football economics. City haven’t got him to sign again with 3 years left and now we know that he has us over somewhat of a barrel.

Haaland signing next summer has fuck all to do with what Sterling demands right now. What Sterling demands right now will be determined by the market, ie his worth to City and the cost of replacing him less his sale value now/next summer.

If you think Sterling doesn’t demand his fuck whack now on the off chance City pay full price (and normal wage) for a top striker next summer then you need your bumps felt.

Not sure why the need to be so rude in your replies.

I agree that Sterling will be using the argument. I just think that if Haaland came in on a wage much higher than his, then that would strengthen his negotiating position. At the moment the club can argue that they wouldn't get involved in that kind of a deal and pay £crazywages.

So, on that we disagree. But not really enough to warrant the confrontational language.

Sorry - Just thought there was no need for him to add insults in his replies, so was a little more insistent :)

This has gone ridiculously quiet - Absolutely no chance we haven't been given reassurances that he's ours otherwise we would have moved on by now surely.

Maybe we have.

With the kind of money that Levy is demanding for Kane, we could instead buy - or nearly so - Haaland. At this point, I'm actually hoping that the Kane deal falls through as I think that this will put us in a much better position to pursue Haaland in the future.

Whatever the situation really is, Kane looks pretty relaxed about it ...

A blunt reply was all it was,very tame by normal BM standards.....you are being over sensitive.
