He says, in fluent english. Just say your phone autocorrected it prick.


* I actually said pal there as my last word, but my phone autocorrected it.
You seem to have an issue with me; which is fine, as I’ve had to deal with people in higher positions coming after me than Coatigan from Blue Moon. Writing on my phone means I get to make mistakes frequently.

Geezo, read that again, it was clearly a joke. I'd thought you'd chuckle tbh.

Lighten up, I know you are fighting a few fires at the moment, but I certainly have no issue with you, if I did wouldn't engage in any discussions. I respond when I either agree or disagree on somethig, or when conversation gives an opportunity for banter.

Re Lu, no fucking idea who he or she is, don't care. I disagree with his claim not because i doubt his credibility, but because the claim itselfsoesnt make sense. Or it does, but in the context i alluded to earlier, of being part of whatbwe can expect to hear a lot.
 
It’s the transfer version of chess

City want Haaland but not at the price quoted

Agent and Dad seen negotiating with Spanish duo

City will one day spend big on one player

Haaland rumour is £150m plus a fucking lot in wages

City prefer Kane

Don't deal in rumours , deal in facts.

Prices quoted and prices paid are two very different things.

I’m going with the poker analogy ;). City prefer to keep their cards close to their chests, certainly won’t be averse to the occasional bluff or two, and have a pretty good idea what everyone else is holding. We all need to chill out and watch the game unfold.

Bingo ! Or house ! Or something like that
 
I fail to believe that Harry Kane would sign a new deal, that would tie him down to near retirement, without sticking in some form of clause, should specific clubs come in for him, or someone bids 'x' for him.

This is pure speculation on my part, but I tend to agree. Maybe failure to qualify for the Champs League would be a trigger? One things for sure, if there is a clause and Kane wants to leave, we’ll know about it.
 
What do we splurge with? Oil? We lost £120m last season. IMO there will be very few major transfers in football unless there is a strong confidence that match-day revenue will be returning. If there are major transfers then look for clubs in financial crisis as a result of debts and cashflow.

Covid is temporary, but how temporary. I can't see City adding massively to our cost base until the finances are in place. A club like Chelsea where Abramovic underwrites transfers might be able to do this but at City there hasn't been any significant owner investment in years.
Hi Marvin

i suspect we are saying similar things in our posts. I did post that I would like to see a realignment of the market and expectations of agents, players (and Chairman) etc. You make the additional point that perhaps we don’t actually have the wherewithal to ‘splurge’ as I described.

We didn't really lose £120m last season though, it's just that ~£60m of TV money from last season arrived after the June cut off date for the annual finances.

We've also got Leroy Sané's £55m fee not accounted for yet.
 
My guess is, as I posted in the Haaland thread, that we want him undeniably as the first option. If we’re not chosen by the player and staff, then we won’t be getting someone like Kane, who would cost too much for the little commercial return. It would probably be a cheaper option (one that would still break out transfer record, but not that massively) that would get the “job done” (maybe not as well as Kane, but in the sense of filling in a striker position). Pep isn’t the one who is going to choose the striker, just like he didn’t choose Dias, just like Aguero was a Khaldoon project. But judging by the last two weeks, he seems well aware that the club’s targeting the Norwegian and is fully on board.

I would take Kane after Haaland and Lukaku, just to be clear. But I no longer think it’s an option
You'd take Lukaku BEFORE Kane?

Other way around for me. Lukaku is a good level below Kane IMO
 
Harry has one thing mind, if he forces a move i think hes probably the one player that can turn to Levy and say im not going to play unless i get my move and hed still be in the Englands national team plus the press would kill Levy. Harry is the captain of England national team. Hes the gem of the press

All very logical but you have missed an important element... Levy is one of a very unique brand of people who is totally unconstrained by any desire to be liked.... he will fuck anyone and everyone over - including Harry Kane - its not personal - its just business and he would sooner hang Kane out to dry than sell him on the cheap. .
