Cmon Omar. Get him on the phone

Not really that mental if kane doesnt arrive.

Mental in the sense of him saying Kane is too expensive and that’s then his plan. Bin Kane and do that. If we didn’t get Kane by all means, don’t bin him to rely on a player who’s fucked us about before also on the off chance the hottest property in football is just waiting for us to snap them up next summer in Haaland. City will have spent a lot of time on Kane, can’t see them throwing it away for pipe dreams

Where do i go? do i stay in this thread OR do i go on the Kane thread OR do i go on twitter OR do i watch the interview with Jack again? i'm just to excited it's too much!!

Well look after him, 4 pints of Joseph Holt’s and a chippy tea and he’ll be right as rain

IF and it’s a big IF we went in for Messi i would imagine CFG would be a very handy vehicle for his salary, two years at City on £200k per week, then a shed load at NYCFC hidden in offshore accounts. Similar to what some have speculated Wolves have been doing with their player salaries.

Nope. Noun of multitude. Both are correct. 'Are' is more our idiom, 'is' North America.

I do beg to differ. In this instance, we are referring to the club as an undivided whole - and therefore is collective noun (ie single).
City ARE defending well is referring to several players in the team and is a noun of multitude.
But, as you say, "ARE" is the most common accepted usage in the UK.

Maybe it is a masterplan by the club to fuck Levy off and go for Messi but no Kane. Would then leave Spurs in financial shit if they splurge the money they thought they were getting for Kane

 

[Pollocks OG]

Still reckon he stays at Barca me.

 

[Gareth Barry Conlon]

I'd laugh my balls off if he comes here. Just the saltiness of every other club would make it worth £100m in wages for 1 season.
