Harry Kane

[117 M34]

If Laporte is staying , I can't see Ake wanting to be 4th choice, Ake has already been here a year so we will have already had amortisation of his original fee.

We also have Sandler, a huge talent if he is over his injuries, he could be 4th choice.

That's not how amortisation works.
He signed a 5 year deal so 1/5 of his fee will have been amortised(?) and 4/5 or 32m will still be left

None of our first teamer will go to Spurs in a swap. It's gonna be a cash deal and I'd say a player will depart to a club abroad on a kind payment schedule/loan with obligation.

As for Ake, he knew what sort of role to expect when coming here and he will get his chances at LB (where I believe he's gonna be more than likely 2nd choice behind Zin), and maybe even in holding mid from time to time.

I still think Ake may feature as a left back on occasion.

That is what I would like to see, fuck off mendy and have Ake/Zinc compete for LB

I like Ake.
I think that if he were to get a run of games, he would be hard to dislodge.
Re Kane.
I think the deal will be concluded immediately after we play Spuds.

Might by a cigar incase this happens. Watch the football world lose there shit and I will just post a video of me impersonating pep.

He was perfectly happy to come and be 4th choice a year ago. If he's changed his mind over the last year he shouldn't have come.

Villa are idiots. Maybe Grealish wont go, but there is a high chance he will, so why haven't they spent the £100m up front? I know they've made a couple of signings but imo they will struggle next season without Grealish.

Buendia CAM, Bailey and Traoré/El Ghazi on the wings with Watkins up front is a brilliant attack IMO. I don't know who they could sign who'd improve that front four. If it was up to me, I'd sign someone to replace Mings.

Such a strange one this.

I don’t want Kane next season it’s now or never but I’m happy if city pay £120-130 mil now

Spurs crazy not to sell him now as they won’t get more than £80 mil next season, so why delay it all when they will need to replace him.

Kane joins us now or he will never have a better chance to win trophies.

makes no sense this transfer hasn’t already happened unless it has & all have been told to be quiet till after city v Spurs game.

That's not how amortisation works.
He signed a 5 year deal so 1/5 of his fee will have been amortised(?) and 4/5 or 32m will still be left

exactly so as of now he cost us 32m, added with 120m for Kane, it's a decent deal.

Spurs need a cb, Ake gets regular football and keeps the same wage, maybe with a slight increase.

He was perfectly happy to come and be 4th choice a year ago. If he's changed his mind over the last year he shouldn't have come.

Not so sure he was 4th choice last summer, Stones career looked over, no Dias, Laporte struggling for form and fitness.

It looked a great chance to establish himself at a major club.

There’s definitely the opportunity to do so.

There is a dearth of number 9s though. You’d be looking at Ings etc as a temporary replacement.

Nuno might be able to work with amended again though if he has some promising younger players.

I‘ve no idea what the fee would be for Kane. The more north of £100m, the more uncomfortable I get.

Ings, as you say, wouldn’t be a bad shout for a PL ready, short term option. Long term, I think Spurs have Vlahovic in mind. He won’t give us everything that Kane gives us, though.
