Harry Kane

[Gundog’s Gundog]

Top class striker but we’ve dodged a bullet here -£125m + on Harry was never gonna be money well spent

As well as “lost a yard” and “injury ravaged “ we can add “lacks ambition” and “meek”to his bad points. He’s been bullied into doing something he doesn’t want to do. Any player of his stature in his situation who wants to leave and pushes it hard enough will be allowed to leave.

Banter about Gerrard aside, Kane would fucking kill for a league cup medal let alone two FA cup medals and three league cup medals. If he stays at Spurs and doesn't win anything, which now looks likely, I can't think of a single player of his standard without a medal to show for it.

Maybe they’ll win the UEFA Conference League. Are there any other full time professional teams in it?

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.

Maybe you are right, but our issue is leading the line against the better teams, there is a reason Chelsea beat us three times at the back end of the season and I don't see how Grealish solves that, he has scored 30 goals in 180 odd games(to me he seems more like a David SIlva replacement who managed 60 goals in 300 games for the club).
As for Palmer and Delap I will be absolutely stunned if they play as many 8 games between them, I truly hope I'm wrong on all of this, but I just don't see us stronger this season.

Really think City have dodged a bullet with this, the money being demanded for a player with injury issues and possible best years behind him smacks of Alexis Sanchez all over again. Also spuds are left with a player who does not really want to be there and whose value has peaked. Think I know who the real winners are in all of this.

Where are those aggressive posters who swore it was a done deal?

Agreed on the Champions League final, the loss was due to Chelsea playing a smart system we couldn’t cope with. Having a striker to bring on late in the game may have helped. The League last year has no bearing this year, everyone starts on zero points. It doesn’t help to stand still when your rivals have strengthened. As it stands I see Chelsea finishing above us. They have an excellent manager and added Lukaku.

We’ll see.

Very happy with this. Voted no, never watched him and been wowed by him, the money was silly and his ankles are a worry. I just hope we get someone decent in. We are 1 piece away from being the finished article imo

There is a reason they beat us two of them, pep and his brainfarts

Certainly not apologising. Nor for their insulting attitude to anyone not believing them.
