Harry Kane

They'll shake hands at 130 IMO.

For a 28 year old, utter madness but it aint my money

I think they'll add Grealish and that will be it if they can't get Harry.

And Messi.

£130m?

Oof.

He’s quality but however way you spin it, it’s a gamble. A calculated one maybe but still.

 

[BillyShears]

And Messi.

I don't really consider him an option for us anymore. I understand why the contract stuff is generating loads of talk and it will be fascinating to see what happens with him.

Same age and about the same price as Hazard and Griezmann when they moved.

He will be top drawer until he is 33 5 good years

 

[Coatigan]

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.

Pep is one crazy dude. Would take a brave soul to call his bluffs

Soon as the euros are done it'll be 130 and "right Harry, let's see how badly you want this". There will be a dance, but at the end of it we'll get him. And if we don't ... heads will fall off shoulders ;)

This kicks off next week Grealish and Kane, I reckon City will act fast as I’m sure Pep wants signings done by pre season

I also just think that City are financially strong enough that they can buy him and buy another 9 in two years time no problem. Just look at what we've spent on defenders in the last five years. The money thing is just something we've been conditioned to think about because of the media. If City think a player is worth something, they'll pay it. They're rarely wrong, and it rarely means that they can't add to that position at a later date.

 

[blue whippet]

The fee will be soon forgotten when he's banging goals from everywhere. My bigger concern is not getting him because that will mean we won't sign anyone for the 9 and we'll go with what we have. That's how big Pep's hard on for Kane is.

I don't think it will be forgotten, it will be raised at every possible moment. That isn't the point though. Kane is a very good player and would undoubtedly do well for us but I consider it a ridiculous sum to pay. You would of course be justified in asking what I would be prepared to pay, and I honestly don't know, but the figures being quoted are far in advance of anything we have paid before and it just doesn't feel as though Kane is the player to spend that sort of sum on.
