Harry Kane

Despite all the euphoria surrounding England, I still don't want Kane to move to City.

It would be a short-term signing and also, it is not what we usually do: £100million+ and players too, in the current pandemic climate would be mental - let us stick to our system, buy younger players with a long-term future and re-sale value around the 40-50 million price tag and coach them in the way we play.

I know some people will say 'but its not my money' but that's not my point: if we did this then the accusations that we buy success would have validity. At present they don't, because Utd. for example keep spending big on people like Maguire, Pogba etc. and haven't won anything for 4 years.... so I can say to my Utd. friends - 'it isn't all about money' yet if we buy Kane they will come back at me and say "it is".
Ok....whats your real username? Clarkie?
 
That is taking one part of my post and making me sound silly.

Please consider the whole thing that I wrote, not just the last bit. But to confirm - at present I think our record signing is Dias at 65 million. Utd. have just spent 10 more or Sancho. They have several players who cost more than our top signing and they keep giving big contracts to aged players or players who have lost it (De Gea). Yet Utd. still try to call us out for being an 'oil backed club'.

They can't really justify that whilst they keep spending more than us - but if we bought Kane for 120 million plus Jesus, for instance, then that argument could become a valid one and I just don't want that.

Bottom line is, I don't think we need him. Give Ferran Torres a run at No. 9. Heck, keep playing a 'false nine' - we just blitzed the league with that system and we didn't lose the CL because we lacked a 'proper' striker, we lost it because Pep had a brain fart and changed a winning system in the midfield area.

So you are valuing Kane at minimum of £180m with that suggestion, which is £30m over what ‘tough guy Levy’ would demand?

If you are actually a City fan I wouldn’t be worrying about the Rags, there’s still loads of ammunition to rebuff their nonsense.

£375k pw for their back-up keeper who nobody will take as he’s not worth the wage.

Re-signing bang average players like Mata and Bailey.

Getting a piss-poor return from a huge investment in Pogba.

Being circa £500m in debt for the last 18 years or so, with no end to it in sight.

Plenty more to that list if you put a bit of thought in.

Meanwhile over in Manchester we are quietly going about our business, wonderfully managed on the business and playing side of things with an evident plan to deal with whatever comes our way.

The rags are likely to improve going into next season but I’d be flabbergasted if we didn’t at least match that (and remember we are significantly better than them in the first place).

I'm sure that was mentioned as a possibility a few weeks ago, well 100 million + Jesus. I added another 20 cos of the Euros!

I'm well aware of the other stuff you wrote and totally agree - saw this on twitter recently:
