Thank you for asking. First, I am no football expert at all, and I have no issues with others’ wishes or dreams. Harry Kane is a great goal scorer, but he is aging quickly and on the declining side of his career. He would have been a nice addition 2-3 years ago, but not now. As a striker, Haaland or Lukaku is better (not getting into how easy or difficult to get one of them, but I have in my mind the costs of getting a quickly aging player like Kane). I always thought Lukaku was an excellent striker and natural scorer. He has done pretty well at Everton and Inter Milan. He was poor at United, but then who wasn’t? It will be great to see De Bruyne and Lukaku playing together at City. They have already shown how they work exceptionally well together for Belgium. There is also a viable option of using Torres as a striker, even occasionally until he proves himself. Torres, in his short career, has been doing an excellent job as a striker for Spain, so why not to try him more frequently at City? He is a fantastic young talent with a natural knack to scoring goals. Also, I always have Delap in my mind (not as the only striker option). He is another young talent and natural goal scorer. I do hope that he will not be ignored and moved at the end. As of Grealish, never convinced me to be a City player. In fact, I don’t see what is in him to be even considered to join City, and I saw him playing many times; perhaps for public relations reasons to attract young English fans, which is not my priority. But I am not running public relations at City, and I am no football expert, just a passionate City fan. I would prefer that we make it work with Bernardo Silva and keep him, that if he truly wants to leave. We tried very hard with Sane to keep him, and Bernardo is no less than Sane and we should do our best to keep him. Unlike Sane who could have mainly left because of his mom, I think Bernardo is mature enough and will stay if we addressed his major concerns. The guy always looks in love with City.

15% owed to City from the Sancho deal.
Add that to:
Sane £55
Angelino £18
Nmecha £ 10
Sancho %
All of the above pays for JG.

This is all part of the charade of a transfer.
Club saying they won't sell, make themselves look the good guys.
Remember the KDB transfer, wolfsburg was adamant he was going nowhere then next minute he was ours.
When sky sports and the bitter journos start saying utd have bid for him then you know its happening.
Based on what?

Samaras may have had the long flowing air but BD's goals to games ratio pisses all over him as I'm sure you know.

So don't get Kane because he is aging but get Lukaku who is older than Kane.
No idea what that all means but I can tell it’s all bollocks.
Sir Rash ffs.

Not me, I know his potential is out of this world.
