Harry Kane

Two names: Van Persie and Hazard.

Missing out on them saw United win a title they'd otherwise have had no hope of winning, and saw Chelsea rebuild themselves into a title winning side again.

I think Haaland will have a similar impact for whoever he joins, and I really fear we'll live to regret standing idly by and allowing him to join a rival, in preference of Kane.

Good point on the surface, however it wasn’t missing out on them players that put us a step behind. It was the shite recruitment from ourselves in general, we missed out on both hazard and van persie in the same summer and signed a load of crap like Maicon, Scott Sinclair and Javi Garcia. Our two competitors moved forward while we stood still. Since then we’ve still been more successful than the two clubs them players headed off to.

City have certainly learned that we need to continue to strengthen while on top.

In fairness to those running the club just after the 11/12 title and for a few years after, it wasn’t just not realising we needed to strengthen while on top. We were hamstrung at that point by the introduction of FFP. Despite some reasonably pricey deals (Ferna, Mangala) our spending dropped off for a couple of seasons until Soriano got our commercials sorted & that UCL punishment expired.
 
Yep. That feels very significant. That's 3 players now who City could have conceivably bought: Martinez, Lukaku and Ings and we haven't. That suggests Kane is very much still in the headlights
