Harry Kane

I agree.

Whatever the reason is, we can't compete with you.

Why does that make you so angry?

It should make you happy.

It doesn't make sense.

He isn't angry, just emphatically getting a point across. With aplomb.

Regarding him going on strike, I don't for a second think City told him to do that. I think it was either his own or his brothers idea. I don't think we have any obligation to pay over the odds because Kane decided to take matters into his own hands.

I doubt we will ever know the answer to that nor do I believe it affected the price Spurs are asking. I do think Kane will have been talking to City throughout the process.

Jesus is a top guy and a good player but evertime hes in on goal all I can think of is he’s missing or it might go in. With Sergio you knew 9 times out of 10 its in the back of the net. With Jesus it’s like 5 times out of 10.

Not true on either stat tbh

Aguero
Shots-1,015
Shots on target-423
Shooting accuracy-42%
Hit woodwork-34
Big chances missed-128

A long way off 9 out of 10 finishing, as great as he was.

Jesus
Shots-279
Shots on target-135
Shooting accuracy -48%
Hit woodwork-8
Big chances missed-63

Jesus is very badly treated by a lot of people on here imo

Just heard that the deal is losing momentum. City not willing to meet Spurs demands on fee so only way this’ll happen is if we sell Bernardo and Laporte.

Hold on, we're not willing to meet the demanded fee so we're going to sell 2 players? Did that make more sense in your head when you made it up?

When you say you can't compete with our cash, what cash? FFP dictates our transfer budget like it dictates yours. You've seen the response from UEFA when they thought we'd overspent by €67.53c. They didn't want explanations, they wanted buckets of blood drained from our neck preferably.

Here's the difference fella.... Our owner cleared City's debts, & turned his investment into equity. Your owner like others, just loaded the debt on the club, with all the interest & those debts will be paid before you invest in your squad.

That's down to the way Spurs is run, NOT because our owner gives us billions to spend every summer. For the avoidance of doubt, allow me to repeat. Sheikh Mansour has NOT invested a penny into Manchester City Football Club since 2014. Everything we've spent, we've had to generate & have provided certified accounts to these effects.

This is why statements like 'We can't compete with your cash' pisses our fans off. What you've spouted is purely folklore bollocks mate. We merely have a better owner who is totally committed to our club, & not just looking to fatten it up for a future sale. Our owner wants City to be a totally self sufficient success, on & off the pitch.

The fact is that we're one of the best run clubs in world football. What you're seeing now isn't City just spunking hundreds of millions because we can, it's come about as a result of us NOT being able to afford Sanchez, Pogba & Maguire who all ended up at ManUre, who COULD afford the fees being asked. Much of the money we're spending now, is from money we've refused to spend in previous transfer windows, so was in the bank as an ever increasing transfer war chest.

Our management team would rather us go without, than buy a substandard player, just to fill the squad. Where we are now has been over 13 years in the planning, & the scary thing is, there's much much more to come. We're a well run club, not a rich man's vanity project plaything that he spunks his billions on to make him look like a big shot.

THIS is what makes the clubs who keep creating more FFP barriers to stop us, ever more sick with jealousy.

A great reply but I fear we are wasting our time, he has already admitted to loving the wind-up, the man is just a gobshite on the wum, as sad as that is.

It irritates us, angers some and amuses a few because what you're saying is not only untrue but has been proven to be untrue yet you still repeat it at every opportunity. And your club was one of a group of true incompetents that even wanted to deny City the right of appeal. And Dribble is absolutely right in what he says apart from the detail about Maguire, Pogba and Sanchez - we place a price on a player and stick to it, but we're not daft enough to make public what that price is. So we don't buy a player who's overpriced but it means we have a hundred million for a player Pep thinks is worth it. So let's see what he thinks Kane is worth.

The team in charge will have considered everything from transfer fee to wages to length of contract to injury record to personality to agents fees and a few other things probably. What they won't have really considered, is how much Levy wants to make. Some fans will think 70m is fair, others that 160m is his value. We will have a top amount and will walk away from anything over that, as we have done on many occasions.
Thats why we aren't in charge. It isn't personal, it's good business. If we don't get him, they will say sorry Pep, it's another Sanchez, Jorginho etc. We shall know soon enough, what that figure is, safe in the knowledge the guys on the board who Cool Hand trusts, will find another way to continue their impecable handing of our club.

I'm not itk, never have been or ever will be, but this just isn't going to happen. So we think the fee is too high, but if we sell 2 top players then we are then happy to pay the fee thats still too high, common sense tells you this isn't right. Benardo will go imo once Grealish is sorted, laporte I doubt it unless we get a huge offer and he asks to go. I don't think kane has anything to do with anything, we want him and if we can agree a price we get him if we don't, then we won't. For what its worth I think we agree a deal and it gets done.

In a previous post, I tried to explain that your good fortune helped Spurs break into the top 4 by knocking out first Liverpool and then Arsenal and then United. This allowed Spurs in. And now there is a top 6.

How does us surpassing them three help you break into the top 4? All it did was knock you down an extra place (along with the others)? Strange you ignore Chelsea as well. You've had the odd season where you've finished higher than expected, last season would seem more your forte.
 
Its abit bad on Kane if the deal is not happening,

the guy has risked his entire Tottenham reputation for this move. They treated him like a king now he’s a snake etc

He’s doing all he can. Missing training, going to Florida so he doesn’t play against city

Don't worry, it's a fickle business and if it doesn't happen he'll be the fans favourite again within days.
