Another 12 months he comes down to possibly 60m

You know this isn’t happening, come on

The report states they have privately set upon no sale.

The reality is the negotiations continue.

I was told £100m was our limit but I do fear it will go beyond that the longer this plays out.

There's only so long City can bluff that we are happy to go into next season without a recognised number nine and just promote Delap.

I bet Pep would take Jesus, Delap and Lionel Messi as goalscoring options though.

If Barcelona aren't sorted in the next 10 days, I think Messi will be pulling the plug and going elsewhere. He can't hang around while they beg Tebas to let them sign him.

 

[tolmie's hairdoo]

If you accurately heard that 100m was our limit, then I could see a club going over that to REALLY push through a deal.

But nobody goes 50% over their "limit", wouldn't really have been their limit at all then right?

I can't remember City ever really going above and beyond for a player, we have seen over the past seasons that we have pulled out of deals if the Finances didn't fit perfectly (Sanchez), and especially in a covid season with dire financials across Europe, I don't see any chance that the Kane deal happens.

We can easily persist with Ferran, Sterling, Jesus, or a false 9 in the striker position. We did pretty well last season, the only thing that stopped us going from 2 -> 4 trophies was an inform Chelsea side.

City haven't needed to go above a certain limit previously because we got ten years service out of players like Vinny, Sergio and Silva.

All three of those players ten years younger would be all £100m in today's market.

I also disagree re sticking with what we have got up top. Teams will work it out, be more prepared.

I'm addition, I don't believe Torres is good enough for that level of scoring responsibility, while Jesus and Sterling were only bailed out last season because Gundo had his best-ever scoring campaign, in addition to Foden and Mahrez also weighing in.

I doubt City have really divulged their real limit, because then there's nowhere to go, there's always extra, just like buying a house.

Personally, I'd go to £150m if that's what it takes to get the top striker we need.

Kane really impressed me last night, his entire game is suited to what Pep wants, a selfless individual, dragging defenders into midfield, contributing assists.

I really see a potent mix having all our intelligent runners going beyond him.

I don't think there is another club in the marketplace we need to fear on ready cash this summer.

Fair enough, I thought you were more in the know about 100m being the limit.

Personally, still can't see City going to 150m, regardless of whether we had the privledge of Aguero, Silva etc. In this covid market we aren't going to get there.

As for people "Figuring out" the false 9, it wasn't really figured out last season considering how close we were to 4 trophies.

Having Gundogan, Foden and Mahrez all chipping in is what made that season successful, completely relying on one striker to score all the goals is far easier to "Figure out" than a fluid attack that has everyone pitch in. Gonna have to agree to disagree on this point.

Absolutely no chance in the world City go up to 150 million for a guy nearly 28 and probably got 2 maybe 3 top seasons left. Won't happen

So would I : )
Especially when you add Kev, Raz, Phil and the rest.

 

[ancoats]

This would be bad. I think we can do better business. Let’s wait and see...

this is a very good point

any good striker in this city team would score goals so do we splash big on kane or haaland
maybe city could use a trick themselves and sign danny ings who would score 20 goals easy in this team
then lets see how spurs or dortmund feel after missing out on £100million and i have a feel they would come back and take our offer

We don’t need a center forward anymore . We have changed the way football is played.

Chelsea would snap up Haaland, Kane would probably stop at Spurs.

And then you go and spoil it all, by saying something stupid like...
Danny fucking Ings
