I feel like I'm having a stroke reading this. Someone said Dias was shit?
I might have said who? Never seen him play. As to be honest I knew jack about the guy before he joined

Agreed. Apart from Kane being 28... ;-)IMO this means Pep's not staying past 2023.
Kane's a world class striker, but he's 28. He'll be good for ~4 years assuming the ankle holds up. Haaland would be good for 10+.
One's a short-mid term option, the other is long term. One is the young player who you mould (remember how Pep's supposed to prefer working with younger players?), the other is someone who slots in for a few years while you win and the next guy can worry about replacing Kane for another £150m in 2025 or something.
It's going to be a good couple of seasons, he's going to score a lot of goals, I'm just slightly disappointed we're taking a shorter term view.
That’s true but he’s 27, and if he signs in 2 months, he will be 6 months younger than Dinho was when he signed.Yeah, yeah, yeah. He'll be 28 when he kicks his first ball for City.

Even if you were, no here should stop themselves from giving an opinion about anything. People will get things wrong and get things right. Be “loud” as much as you want and not afraid to change your mind when necessary. There won’t be witch trials hereI wasn't against the Dias signing.
Kane vs Haaland.
The club will have already assessed the relative prospects of getting Haaland vs Kane. We go for the bird in the hand, not the one in the bush, and build the attack around that guy.Can’t get my head around people saying this.
On what planet do people think City sign Harry Kane this summer on what I’d imagine a 5year contract earning mega wages roughly what Sergio is on now to then go out and sign Haaland next summer.
If Kane signs then Haaland will not be signing for city in the foreseeable. My guess is he’ll go next summer to Barcelona or Real Madrid when they can afford the buyout clause. Bayern is another potential suitor for him next summer.
NahPut Mahrez in for Grealish and it's even better.
I just think the idea that Levy is going to "do the right thing" by Kane and let him go for a realistic price is for the birds.
If we get him it's gonna months of Levy saying £150m or nothing until he backs down on the last day of the transfer window. At best.
