Harry Kane

Still a week left of the transfer window. You never know City's need for a striker is too great not to be resolved. How knows there might be a twist to this but I could be far too optimistic :)
 
we are the east stand said:
This statement won’t be news to city, we’ll have informed Kane we won’t meet the required fee. Let be honest if we wanted him at any cost he’d be holding a blue shirt up by now. Kane wanted City too. Respect to the club for not bending over for Levy.

imo once this went over £100m it was too much for an injury prone 28 year old.

hopefully the club have a plan B lined up that can be signed swiftly as we need a main striker regardless.

Well yeah, despite what everyone likes to say about us, it's clear that we had a budget that we weren't willing to go beyond, and that Levy's valuation didn't fit into that budget. I wonder if Levy is actually gutted because he expected us to cough up.

It's also possible that we haven't been able to find anyone to match our valuation for Bernardo or Laporte, and that would have been a prerequisite for us going higher.

We had a price, we have stuck to it.
The other club didn't want to sell.

I've no issues with the club trying to sign a top player, I've also got no issues with they club having a financial plan and sticking to it.

Do I think we need a 9, yes absolutely.
Do I think there is one out there for us at the moment? No, can't see many options hence we might not sign one, means the money stays available in case a suitable player comes available

the thing is, in my opinion, if you have a price and stick to it, and the other club doesn't want to sell, you don't drag it all the way to august 25th..
 
Glad this whole Kane saga finally is over. Not that bothered about us not signing Kane in particular, but got to say Im very disappointed in how and why our recruitment team have let it go this far without being able to close the deal. If we had no intention of meeting Levys price tag, why haven't we moved on to other targets weeks ago?

Was about to write a long rant on questioning what our team handling transfers in & out actually are good at, except paying release clauses and letting Mendes work out a deal for them (which seems like something even a clown could do well with our financial strength), but the window is not closed yet so I guess they still have time to work something out. They are being paid handsomely to handle this, and now its time for them to show us why.

6 days left, lets see what happens!
