Harry Kane

[Blue back home]

agreed but hopefully plan A will happen but if not let's hope plan B isn't Bamford, Woods, Maupay etc.

Agree 100% on that.
Ffs, just seen the cricket score, that is proper pathetic

 

[p.taker]

Two alternatives if this doesn't happen, Sarr from Watford who I think we could turn in to a top player, or a cheeky late swoop for Vardy, what do people think?

Sarr because he's on pace to score 38 league goals.

 

[kaz7]

Thought we’d have heard something today if this is actually on which it most probably isn’t. Very worrying indeed, especially with him being in their tin pot cup squad. It is unacceptable for us to not replace Sergio, it is borderline incompetence. After our start to the season he should be in Manchester today. Chelsea sorted lukaku in a few days, I just cannot fathom how this isn’t done yet.

Haha ,oh you are serious

 

[kaz7]

If we really do not sign a striker it's bad management and someone needs to be responsible for that. This is just not okay!

You keep saying that but it is nonsense

No and no.

 

[The blue phantom]

Ladies and gentlemen, the 28 year old player who some suggest is a good option for us this season, Patrick Bamford...

Cheers for that, Pretty good return in the PL for Bamford last season.

You'd probably never heard of structures, but there are more people dealing with transfers than the chairman alone.

I’m sure those people could get the transfer today done if the chairman said here’s £160 mill for Kane, off you go. He obviously hasn’t. So Txiki and Omar work the best they within those restraints. If Spurs don’t budge from that, nothing anyone but Khaldoon can do about it.
Same as an Van Dijk , when Khaldoon said no to Txiki look elsewhere, he did and bought Laporte. The fact we haven’t gone elsewhere sounds like we and Khaldoon think we can get it done.
So yes if you want to start to apportion blame if we don’t be brave enough to go to the top.

 

[117 M34]

Wissam Ben yedder would be my plan b option.
Scored goals wherever he has been.

 

[Semper aggressus]

Why? Who is there if Kane is not coming that is gettable and good enough?

Tammy Abraham, or has he already gone to Roma?

There’s not many, admittedly. In hindsight we should probably have signed Ings after all, as well as trying to get Kane. We need at least two decent strikers given the lack of finishing prowess in the squad and number of games we’ll play.

 

[King-General]

It's not nonsense, your response on the other hand is. It might go above your head but it would be ridiculous to go in to a new season with Gabriel Jesus alone. Nobody is saying that we should sign Kane, and Kane alone. But we do need a new striker, if you can't see that I can't help you on that matter.

 

[Manx Blue]

If we don't get Kane then I'd put Delap up front.

I'd like to see him given a chance, even if it's a season to see if he's good enough, or put in the shop window.

 

[Benarbia’s Backheel]

Haaland for 70million ish I think his releases clause is

Not going to happen.
There’s no way that City enter a bidding war on who offers the highest wage.
City have never done anything to make me think that we would even entertain the idea of signing Haaland

 

[malg]

Non of which has happened.

Made me laugh.

But before last week, City had never done anything to make me think we would even entertain the idea of paying £100m for a player

I couldn't care about the Kane signing, if it doesn't happen it doesn't happen but what would be unacceptable is not signing any kind of alternatives. You're paying scouts and people in leading functions to prepare on the short and long term vision. And putting your basket on just one target doesn't seems to show that.

Why? They’re completely different types of signing.
There was no bidding war for Grealish. He’s a good age, not on astronomical wages, English and Prem proven. We were always going to break the £100m marker at some point.

Ok, ok, ok. Just got in from work and from this thread I see the deal is 100% off.

So, just hear me out. What about Martial from the Rags. We'd get him for around £50m to £60m. He's a world class finisher and has pace to burn. He's used to playing with the very best. He's a proven winner in a team that wins trophies for fun.

Worth a punt??

 

[levets]

Shocking statistics

Nearly had me there

Worth going back to work if that’s the best idea you’ve got [emoji1787][emoji1787][emoji1787]
