Harry Kane

[OccupiedPalestineBlues]

I'm still hoping Levy digs in, upsets Harry and we get him to buyout his own contract for £60m. Would be so sweet and an absolute bargain.

iirc the issue with giving a player £60M to buy out his contract is that our payment to said player is deemed to be income for the purpose of taxation.
So, if my recollection is correct then the £60M gets taxed at the 45% upper rate which leaves him short by almost half the amount. For the player to clear £60M you need to give him circa £110M.

There may be ways around it but, as far as I’m aware, if it’s classed as personal income the taxation is prohibitive.

I must say that I’m foggy on the topic and I’d welcome an education on this from one of our resident accountants or anyone who’s recently looked into this particular issue.

I have explained this before.
Kane will score plenty...I also think you could have someone like dominic Calvert lewin or lukaku or even "Danny fucking ings" and they would score plenty as well.....any decent striker will. Cavanni would score shit loads for us

Now none of those are better options than Kane (cavanni 5 years ago maybe) but they would still score lots due to the amounts of chances against most teams...

However, it's in the big one off tight games where chances are a premium or you need something out of nothing that sets the true greats apart from the rest...that's why despite the stats I'd have a kun at 28 rather than Kane...if have a sadio Mane rather than kane ir a haaland.....they are players that despite what stats say I'd have over the likes of Kane or a van nistelrooy fir instance.....both great goal scorers but Shearer for instance could pull a goal from all angles......I just dont believe Kane has that last extra bit.

I haven't once said however that he isnt a top goal scorer...he is....I just prefer a kun type of player to a kane...nothing to do regarding his nationality or what club he is coming from either...and I dont care about the cost either.

It's his style of play .....he means we will be less fluid in attack.....his lack of mobility will be an issue with this.....I know him dropping deeper creates space for others to move into and his link up play is very good but that can be taught to any player....kunlearnt it when many said he wouldn't be able to...those half chances or goals out of nothing...that cannot be taught. I've seen nothing of kane to say he has what I think is a key ingredient.

That's such a shit take I don't even know where to begin.

So anyone will score loads of goals in this team? That's the starting point. Okay.

Then your next point is that he will score shit loads but not heavy goals or "important" goals in "tight" games. I'm not sure that the ball or the net makes a distinction. If he will score loads, he'll score loads. If you're saying he doesn't score world class goals then you're just plain wrong and have not watched him anywhere near enough because Kane scores goals from everywhere and out of nowhere.

Style of play? I'll let Pep decide if a player suits our style of play.

Anyone know a way of getting time back from reading shit posts

Happy birthday Harry Kane. Another day older.

You’d surely pay less for a 28 year old than a 27 year old, which is obviously why we’re waiting………

Astounding. Best finisher in England by far who can score from all angles and assist. Yet you want Sadio Mane because he can run dead fast. Like to see him try that in the example you give as when we need a goal in the last 10 minutes there isn’t any room to run into anyway.

I see @simon23 has dared to interrupt the Kane circle-jerk with a different opinion! He's got a point as any of us who have seen Kane play against city and do fuck all know. Have a look on the spurs 'fighting cock' forum and search what they think of him after big games - even they don't think he's their best option.

 

[Lovebitesandeveryfing]

And then: fourteen assists last season. Who do you think provided Son with most of his goals? I can see why Pep likes him. A striker who can also help others to score? Pretty hard working, doesn't make waves? Perfect for Pep to work with.
Can't remember who it was against, but in the Euros he put in a pass that sliced through three or four opposition defenders. He only did it the once, but I remember thinking, wow, just wow.
The price tag is one thing.
But I'll now be downright disappointed if we don't land him.
Those who doubt will continue to doubt. Such is their right.

He's just like me

That twat Goldstein was on about this on Monday. Sicophantically yapping on about how they're different to every other club and that they appoint within because of the history of the club, and whilst paper boy was an appointment outside of the club, his history within it made him the appointment that fits the clubs ethos. Made me wonder if i'd imagined Moyes, Van Gall and Mourinho. He also said it's significant they got him in on loan, and it proved what a pull the club is to him.

What. A. Cock

Post war only Giggs has actually been appointed from within and that lasted 27 days. Ferguson came from Aberdeen, Atkinson had had 2 clubs before he pitched up, Docherty 4, O’Farrell 2 and Busby played for City and Liverpool, which would be an unthinkable appointment today. At least Goldstein’s fuckwittery is based on absolutely nothing, which is true for an awful lot of them……….

You’ve had an absolute nightmare here mate.

I'm sure it's just coincidence that Simon goes against the grain on pretty much every football related discussion..

Just point out what’s bollocks and yours and his weird opinions are that. Scores great goals from all over the pitch. You don’t want him because of how he’s played against city (scored a few times in a few wins btw along with assists) take it Haaland and Mbappe is shite after how they played against us. Throw Neymar into that too. If you have a biased opinion with no logic then please. Fuck. Off.

So according to you having a football forum is pointless? Having an opinion is pointless?

The day we all have to agree on the same issue will be a sad day, and sadly the world seems to be approaching that day quickly.

The thing that makes football the greatest sport on the planet is opinion, is arguing about players, teams, managers etc.

Some people on here think Pep is the greatest manager ever to walk planet earth, some think Roberto, some may even think Joe Mercer, no one is right, no one is wrong, it's an opinion.

 

[Mancity0303]

2 strikers ;)

 

[metalblue]

So did Sanchez, Fernandes, Maguire, Van De Beek, Fred, Lukaku, Matic, Lindelof...the list goes on an on. How has that worked out for them in the last 5 years?

Give them some slack. They’re in transition don’t you know?
