Harry Kane

[Centurions]

Good luck finding a striker "at not any price" in January. For what its worth I wasn't crazy about the deal, but going into a season weaker in the forward line than last year and it was uncomfortably weak last year is a really poor bit of long term planning. My hope with Aguero, is it really shouldn't shock anyone that we would need to replace him this summer and the plan seems to lacking.

How are we weaker? Serge played the equivalent of exactly 8 games in all comps out of 61 games total.

Grealish gives us a new attacking threat that we didn't have last season so we look stronger to my mind. That's disregarding any impact that the young players like Palmer and maybe Delap may have.

No place at City for a player with so little ambition.

So help me because I get this feeling and I am not sure if it's true or not. Why does it seem as though we have issues getting Tier 1 transfers over the line? We've had some tier 1 players over the years, but most of them were not considered such at the time of their signing. It seems as though signing bonafide superstars has always been something we have issues seeing through to the end. Am I wrong? Do we just do a better job at saying "no" to unreal prices? Do superstars fear the expectations of Pep? Is it us? The weather? I am also open to it just being my own frustration with seeing so many top tier players linked with us, only to see the same cycle of "staying another year" or ending up with United or Chelsea. I am well aware this could just be in my head. It's not like we don't have the funds, facilities, or status. So what is it?

It is just in your head

We do need a striker and missing out on Harry has, in my opinion (which is not worth a lot I know) just put up the price of any player we go for.

Or made people aware we don’t throw daft money at players

Contracts never get renegotiated half way through do they?

They do but why would they when he is tied up till 2024. Most probably United will buy him next season at Levy's asking price

 

[The perfect fumble]

Welcome to the end of your career.
Good luck in the conference league.

Thank god this has ended.

Next.

Our plan B is backing what we've already got!!

We have superb midfielders and creative players but no reliable goal scorer.

Read what I said. If they say no then he can buy himself out of his contract

No he didn’t - Levy would only sell at a ridiculous price which we were not prepared to pay.

Ok Kane didn’t bottle it but Spurs did next year he we be worth half of what he is in this transfer window. Also Harry is a very silly boy for signing that last contract. He is trapped, too trusting of Levy who is a snake.

Clearly didn’t read it properly

I don’t blame city for setting our own valuation but I blame city for not making our mind up far sooner and targeted players who are now no longer available. Keep up.

You know it is also possible city are not interested in another person btw
