Delap promoted, Grealish and Kane in with Bernardo and Jesus (Aguero) out wouldn't improve our squad. I fear we've been sucked in by this Grealish hype and will massively overpay on both players due to the England taxI think so. I know that Juve and City are talking about Jesus. I know that Mendes has said there’ll be an offer for Bernardo. My gut says they’ll both go if Kane and Grealish come.
Kane has no stamina now? The amount of things Kane is lacking in seems to grow day by day.Grealish I sort of get, though he’ll be near £100m and don’t think we really need him or see what extra he brings than what we’ve already got, apart from drawing fouls/diving.
I know he’s a good player, but who’s he replacing?
I think a quality left back and a midfield enforcer would be a better priority.
Can’t get excited by Kane, regardless of the cost cos I don’t think he’s a good fit and will slow us down, at £130m or there abouts it’s even more shocking considering his lack of pace and stamina.
Just the way I feel.
Not a chance, I don’t think we’ll see another like David.I genuinely believe Grealish could become our next David Silva in due course, he's got the ingredients already anyway, hard not to be excited for it.
I never expected Jesus to be on his way this summer, but if that is the case you have to assume Pep agrees with you there.I know what you mean, but I suspect that the calculation is if we sign Grealish (even if Bernardo goes) - there will be the requirement to play with the False 9 just to keep everyone involved and give everyone game time. Ultimately Kane means that Bernardo (or Grealish) is benched regularly. Unless we bench Kane from time to time and use the False 9 system.
I also genuinely feel Torres is a better option at 9 than Jesus.
If your not fit you cant play simples.Madness that running about and being fit is rated over being a better footballer.
problem with the modern game , fitness is rated over skill. That’s why there is so many trash footballers about.
Would be absolute terrible business, we'd also probably lose circa 100MIf we lose both Bernardo and Jesus for those two I would be gutted.
IMO we'll get Kane and if Grealish can keep his nose clean for the next two weeks he'll get his move too.

depends on how you rate both Kane and Grealish however...both seem to split opinon greatly on here...especially looking at the polls for Kane on his thread
Me too, the noises from inside the club seem to be Pep wants one last crack at the CL.Not my focus the league every season I’m happy and 99% of fans will be..
You fear one of the greatest managers of all time has been sucked in by the "Grealish hype"....really?Delap promoted, Grealish and Kane in with Bernardo and Jesus (Aguero) out wouldn't improve our squad.

What Kane has over Haaland is he has the t shirt and wrote the book. Far less risk for the sums being discussed for both players.I am not convinced by Grealish at all, this was long before we were linked with him, last summer the rags were looking like favorites to get him and I would have been delighted if they did, another to add to their collection of over priced , over ratted players.
Kane I get why the club want him, his record is outstanding, and before the Euros I was all in favour, but after watching him up close, he worries me, he looks slow, tired and old before his time.
One thing our team lack is pace, to me Haaland has that, strength, power and the ability to turn a game with a flash of brilliance, something Kane does not have.
We started last season badly and up to December we looked shambolic all over the pitch, the signing of Dias and the intervention of Fern transformed our season incredibly.
Felix is a player who in my opinion under Pep and at this club COULD become a world star and a City icon for years.
Messi was never the player for us last summer and especially this summer, that boat sailed in 2014, when he WOULD have been a sensational signing.
You are having a go, I love this club and want the best for it, don't ever doubt that.
To be fair he is the far more “sexier” choice not to mention PL fans in general usually don’t like signing other PL players there’s no “unknown” appeal that you usually get from signing players from foreign leagues which in turn lowers the excitement. like when we were in for Maguire or Mahrez the appeal was naturally lower. Mahrez showed us all last season how good he is. But the appeal of signing him was “meh”
Probably not far off the mark but missing out on him would be hugely disappointing.IMO nearly all of negative stuff is being conditioned by the existence of Haaland. The desperation for that kid seems to be clouding a lot of judgements.
If jogging around the pitch counts as stamina, then yeah he’s got bucket loads.Kane has no stamina now? The amount of things Kane is lacking in seems to grow day by day.
I think Grealish can play with the intensity we need. Overall though the squad is evolving and changing. We can't time machine ourselves back 3 years to have younger versions of the players we have, so some change is inevitable. Personally I think we should've made at least one of these changes last summer but accept that covid and Messi put a spanner in the works.
I'm genuinely shocked at how divisive Harry Kane. He's an absolute no brainer for me.
Do you ever think for one moment that the scouting team and Pep would be interested in a player who in your words looks physically very old and incredibly slow?No I am not, I don't watch Spurs games over 90 mins, I watch their highlights, when you watch a player over 90 mins for many games, you see different aspects.
Kane looks physically very old, incredibly slow, that's a big minus point.
Agree 100% all our efforts should be on securing his signatureDisagree, there is a shortage of quality world class strikers, they are few and far between.
Also by now Messi and Ronaldo should be dethroned as the great players, but they still are far the best, even in their mid 30s.
There are lots of very good strikers around but few great strikers.
Haaland looks at this stage to be a generational talent, and one to me the club should do everything to sign.
They are fit. People choosing work rate over goals , skills and assists.If your not fit you cant play simples.
