Messi and Barca are over, difficult as it is for people to believe, but there is another thread for that chat.

Still think we will get Kane but after we have played Spurs

If I were a bookie, my odds would be 1/5 to stay at Spurs and 16’s to join us.I think the opposite. I think this is virtually dead.
I’d probably be bankrupt in a week.

It's probably moving that fast because he wants PSG and the fact he doesn't have a club.
I hope your right mate about Kane we do need a forward. If it's true what Pep said about 3 or 4 wanting to leave and we only sign Grealish we haven't improved.
It’s not clever mate it’s a really stupid idea and it will come back to but us as Torres and Jesus are nowhere near good enough to carry us this season. Last season was a unique season and we Did great but this season is totally different and we really need that striker .I guess when City first spoke to Kane the latter gave his true reflection of the “gentleman’s agreement” which would have given City encouragement to bid.
The problem is that Kane misjudged his conversation with Levy hence him going on strike.
City have to wait for Kane and Levy to be on the same page and then start negotiations again. They might then be able to settle at around £125 million. At the moment I don’t think either side is budging.
From our side it’s very unusual to have no alternative to a target. The Messi situation may actually help but it looks like that’s moving too quickly for us to use to our advantage.
it is starting to look like if we don’t get Kane we don’t buy a striker. Now it’s better to buy nobody than make an expensive mistake but letting Aguero go and not replacing him doesn’t seem very clever either.
Its not that we can’t win things without a striker, as we proved last season, it’s more that we would be even better with a really good one.
Kane is obvious but if get near the end of August and there’s nothing doing I really hope we have come up with a clear alternative. Right now I can’t think of one because Andre Silva has gone to Leipzig, Mbappe doesn’t want to come and Haaland just looks too expensive for anyone in the World.
Frankly I find it extraordinarily that a £billion dollar club like City are relying on an alleged third party gentleman’s agreement to buy a £100m asset.I guess when City first spoke to Kane the latter gave his true reflection of the “gentleman’s agreement” which would have given City encouragement to bid.

Our players aren’t not turning up for training. Chalk and cheese with how our two clubs are ran. Kane wanting to join us may hurt but don’t turn into a bell end.Frankly I find it extraordinarily that a £billion dollar club like City are relying on an alleged third party gentleman’s agreement to buy a £100m asset.

Nothing ventured nothing gained. Normal practice to talk to the player first. I doubt we were relying on it.
The gentlemans agreement has nothing to do with City. Its between Kane and Levy. We aren't depending on anything, we bid and if its good enough Spurs will accept. Kane obviously thinks that he should be allowed to move and Levy doesn't. If Levy doesn't accept our bid we can't do anything, but the issue will be between Kane and Levy.Frankly I find it extraordinarily that a £billion dollar club like City are relying on an alleged third party gentleman’s agreement to buy a £100m asset.

It will take a huge jump to go from £75m plus player to the level required to get Kane and we're not negotiating with Spurs so we'd have to completely reassess this for it to come back to life. In its favour is that there is nothing else obvious, and City might fall back on Shekh Mansour. Why not? it would pay for itself many times over. If ever there is a case of speculating to accumulate this is it. I would love Kane at City but so far it does not seem to me like a real goer.If I were a bookie, my odds would be 1/5 to stay at Spurs and 16’s to join us.

The only one relying on that is Kane and his brother, they have seriously messed up if it's not in writing.
What on earth have City got to do with that?

I have a feeling that **** Levy is purposely leaving this until the last minute, but my gut feeling is this is going to get done. Why? Because Levy doesn’t want to reinvest the money. Kane moves at deadline day and then he could come up with the answer of ‘it was too close to the deadline we couldn’t buy anyone’. Seriously, assuming he sells Kane for 130-150M, do you see him reinvesting 100M on new players? No chance.
You are trying to track football transfers through the media. A mistake. We don't know what City's true intentions are. That is the intrigue.Frankly I find it extraordinarily that a £billion dollar club like City are relying on an alleged third party gentleman’s agreement to buy a £100m asset.

No. He's wumming.You are trying to track football transfers through the media. A mistake. We don't know what City's true intentions are. That is the intrigue.
But we have bid £75m + a player. It's not Spurs who are leaving this to the last minute. It's us. Or so it appears. Not wise to be definite. I don't think Spurs want to sell Kane. I think they should but that's their look out.I have a feeling that **** Levy is purposely leaving this until the last minute, but my gut feeling is this is going to get done. Why?

What happens if Kane doesn't happen, do we go false 9 again for one more season and then secure Haaland
That could be a likely scenario, but for myself we would need something in place prior to say haaland will sign
