I’m finding all this talk about Kane and £100 million very sad to be honest. One of the plus points about City is that yes, we have spent big money, but we have spent it wisely.
£100 million plus for a 28 year old is not a wise move, and neither is £80 million and a 24 year old Gabriel Jesus as a part-ex deal.
I’d prefer it if we stayed true to our recent strategy, buy good, young players, not an old guy with dodgy ankles who thanks to Covid19 and the Euros in 2 weeks and a World Cup in 2022 might well be burned out by age 30/31.
Can I also add this: wasn’t it great at the weekend to celebrate ten years of the legendary Sergio Aguero? Would we get ten years out of Harry Kane??? No, I doubt we’d get five.
Furthermore, because I know some people may say money’s no barrier to City, but if we spent £100 million plus on a 28 yr old Harry Kane it would just provide ammunition for the haters who say we buy our success. Currently, with our record signing I think being sixty-five million, we can say yes we do spend money, but not silly money (like on Vandervalk or Pogbad) instead we build team spirit and have good coaching and I prefer it to stay like that.
