How did it fail?Because the plan failed?
The plan was get Kane if we can or we're happy with what we've got. City are not in the market for a striker. We're in the market for Harry Kane. If Kane wasn't available then there would be no striker incoming. That's what was said right from the beginning.

because surely there has to be more than one option? Kane is obviously the preferred option by a distance but when we have lost sergio and pep doesnt seem to count on Jesus as a central striker then we need a 9?

Have you wanted Messi at City over the years? A bloke who strung us along multiple times just to rinse more out of Barça in wages, and made us miss out of Kane last Summer because he pretended to want to come to us.I'm starting to be seriously concerned that we might sign Ronaldo.
I've spent 2 years in lockdown trying to avoid a virus and then one turns up at our door. I genuinely would rather have nobody than him.
He should go to United. He's the physical embodiment of their supreme arrogance. Can you imagine him scoring and the South Stand belting out Viva Ronaldo? It makes me physically ill just thinking about.
I'm not bitter. Ronaldo is an amazing player who would score 40 goals a year in our team and of course Kidd, Law, Tevez, etc have done it on both sides. So there's a precedent. But I just despise the bloke so badly that I want his legs to fall off. I can't help it.
Messi is a bigger knobhead than CRonaldo.

If that was what was said it’s called planningIt's exactly what was said at the beginning of the window. Kane or nobody. How is following the exact plan that we've had the whole time, devised by the manager and his mates, a huge fuck up?
I like the fact we aren’t panicking and get anyone in
There are only certain players that fit the system and improve the team and that list is small
I trust the manager and the recruitment team
They will have a plan and it will more than likely work

I'm ok with what we have to be honest. Whether we sign anyone else or not now, city will be challenging.
True, an additional striker could boost our chances of more success, but we have to lose someone to make it happen.
Personally my feeling is that we are in a chain and once one player moves the rest will follow. Maybe Saul, which triggers Bernie then Kane. But if not then that's ok, we're still good enough in terms of quality and attitude to be successful.
Don't forget Kev isn't fully back yet, Foden either. Delap is injured and we have a lot more about us than we have seen so far in just 2 games.
Relax. Whatever happens city will be playing great football, scoring great goals and winning plenty of games this season :)

But we don't need a 9. Pep doesn't really play a 9. I'm sure he'd like an option but it's not a massive hole in our squad in the same way that not having a left halfback isn't a massive hole because we don't play halfbacks. We had Sergio Aguero last season and played him about 8 times and none of them as a traditional 9.because surely there has to be more than one option? Kane is obviously the preferred option by a distance but when we have lost sergio and pep doesnt seem to count on Jesus as a central striker then we need a 9?

Maybe not people bang on about Haaland and Mbappe talented enough but it doesn’t look like they want to comebecause surely there has to be more than one option?

If they feel it's Kane or nothing, then its Kane or nothing. Pep did the same when he joined Bayern and wanted Thiago, it was Thiago or nobody.
If they want a profile of striker and there's only one 'available' for lots of reasons, if they can't get him then why go for a different profile? Scattergun approaches never work. If they have a list of 3 for a position and get 3rd choice, at least its planned and there's logic to it. They don't have a list of 3 so its Kane or nobody, it seems. Which is fair enough even if we think we need a 9 (which i agree, we do).
So you don't want Kane then?But we don't need a 9. Pep doesn't really play a 9. I'm sure he'd like an option but it's not a massive hole in our squad in the same way that not having a left halfback isn't a massive hole because we don't play halfbacks.

- Need you ask?
Could you let Levy know that please.His market value is what the market is willing to pay and the seller accepts for whatever reasons the seller may have for wanting or needing to sell. Not a random figure you or anyone else picks out. That's how markets work.
Sure I do, I just don't think we'll play him as a traditional 9 and he's a big target for us. But he's not there to win headers and put his elbows up and the like of. It's not our game.So you don't want Kane then?
Saved him a lot of typingSo you don't want Kane then?

PC going on charge for this evening to read through 100's of transfer forum posts later, having a day in Conwy today so will be 'off-line' from half nine until around teatime.
Hopefully some movement somewhere even if it's Levy bumming us off.

Failed because it now seems we could only afford one of Grealish or Kane, and we've signed the wrong one in my eyes. I still say we didn't need GrealishHow did it fail?

He’s just guessing. Do you really think Pep, Txikki, Khaldoon etc brief him on what our targets and intentions are? WowBloody hell even Ahsan thinks we aint getting a 9 anymore. Its just too late in the window
Paul McCartney knows nothing, in fact if he is saying than, Kane will be ours by weekend.Bloody hell even Ahsan thinks we aint getting a 9 anymore. Its just too late in the window
We can afford both.Failed because it now seems we could only afford one of Grealish or Kane, and we've signed the wrong one in my eyes. I still say we didn't need Grealish
I know exactly where this story that it was one or the other comes from. It was from Sam Luckhurst's coffee boy at the Manchester Evening News; a young lad who is probably on minimum wage and a massive United fan. And his story was that City could only afford Kane or Grealish ......unless they sold the Academy players that they were going to sell. The headline conveniently missed out that second bit. Then it was picked up by the Mail Sport who quoted the story and then made its way into the mainstream.
A good lesson in how fucking ridiculous the press is and how their bullshit can easily become commonly accepted wisdom if you let it.
