Harry Kane

I’ve been going back and forth on this ever since the rumors really kicked up, and in a vacuum I think I can understand it, but I really don’t want to sign Harry Kane. He looks awful for England...a yard slow despite swearing up and down he’s healthy, the deal will be drawn out and take all summer, cost a fortune, and doesn’t fit the age profile of our major signings at all.

Meanwhile, Haaland on it’s face might be the most obvious transfer target ever, checks absolutely every box, is a City supporter, and is scoring a goal a game in the Bundesliga and the Champions League. I know we have to pretend on here that our execs are playing 4d chess and never get anything wrong because they’re playing a different game or something....but man, not doing absolutely everything to get him, especially if he signs with a rival instead, feels like such a massive mistake.

If our execs as you call them don't think it's a mistake not to Sign him for any reason......it's possible they know more or have better judgement than us?
He has a soft spot for us....wouldn't call him a supporter, and according to the commentator this evening, Andre Silva scored more Bundesliga goals this season?
I still don't get why some people are going to need a helpline when we dont sign him.

I agree. I could sit here and write for 30 minutes as to why Haaland is the perfect transfer target and the cons of Kane. The board are not infallible, it's clear that there are significant risks splurging 100m+ on a 28 year old with a checkered history past especially given the sudden drop offs in Hazard and Sanchez. From both a football and a commerical perspective, there is absolutely no way we don't regret Haaland ending up at Chelsea.

Well yeah, obviously they know more than I do, they’re highly paid football executives and I’m just some guy. But they’re also not infallible and this seems like a pretty big, pretty obvious, mistake, at least based on what I see as a supporter.
 
lol people here hoping we don't sign one of the best strikers in the world are gonna get their wishes when we sign Danny Ings

Just can't for the life of me understand the arrogance of thinking we're too good for, again, the current top goalscorer and top assists in the league that has achieved that for a team that finished 7th under Jose bloody Mourinho, and also thinking that you know better because you watched a dreadful england side for 2 hours (and ignoring the fact that our players looked just as bad in that team).

You just have to accept the fact that City won't touch Raiola with barge pole.

This was obvious from the start but people here seem to have convinced themselves otherwise.

City last dealt with Raiola 11 years ago with Balotelli signing, so the chances of dealing with Raiola were extremely slim.
