Raiola making noise about De Ligt wanting out, id love to see him alongside Laporte. If Txiki would agree to work with Raiola though would be the issue.
Id love Pep to get on the phone and get De Ligt to bin Raiola as part of the deal.
De Ligt is not a leader, he's a 22 year old who had an incredible 18 month period at Ajax. People need to stop putting such expectations on such young players, even Vinny Kompany was not a leader at that age, he just had incredible potential to be one. That was great for us, but for every Vinny there's another fuck knows how many players with incredible potential who don't end up fulfilling it. Michael Johnson was going to be the next Colin Bell and the leader of City for the next 10-15 years at one stage.Absolute leader already but just don’t see us ever dealing with a top level player of mino? A shame because he has some crackers!
A goalkeeper who saves shots...
Harry Kane for me too.Harry Kane is apparently making noises that he is tired of not winning anything. Hope we'll be on the top of the queue if the move becomes possible.

He's a goalscorer no doubt about it but that's not enough for Pep, I don't see Kane having the tactical intelligence to play for us. In 99% of other teams he's a no brainer, I just don't see the fit with us and our style of play. I don't see him working at Liverpool either with the way Firminho positions himself for the benefit of Salah and Mane.Harry Kane for me too.
He is exactly what we need. Most of our issues are scoring goals, not just that but scoring the important goals. We make the chances, we dominate the game, but we invariably lose when we should have gone 2-0 up.
Kane just scores, he's like Shearer, never will stop scoring.
He works hard
He plays for the team
His personality is perfect for fitting into the squad
Levy will take the money
For me I would pay the £150m (or whatever it will be). And it stops LFC/Utd buying him

Kane is extremely good at dropping deep and linking up the play as he's always having to do that for Spurs when they lack creativity. He's got the vision and passing of a top tier midfielder. Honestly, what Harry Kane have you been watching? Sure his goal scoring record is great but he's far far from a pure poacher. He definitely got the ability and positional intelligence to drop deeper to link up with Salah and Mané as well.
He'd be an asset for every team in the world, us included. I'm not saying we should buy him, but if there is one striker who's got the tactical intelligence to play for us other than Aguero, it's Harry fucking Kane. Talking out of your ass as usual.. not a suprise

Thats the big question mark. A fit Kane would score a rediculous amount of goals in this City side. If he stayed fit i think he'd break all sorts of season records with us.Not for me. He’s become a sick note. You don’t pay so much for a player that’s always injured especially considering our history with injuries.
I think you need to investigate Totti's assist record, in a league known throughout his career for being very defensive. It's mind-blowing, to compare him with Kane is an insult to a true legend of the world game. Kane is comparable as a goalscorer but as a false 9/#10 no way on earth, honestly just please go and watch the great man, it's an education to any football fan. Look at quotes from other players, it's not just me saying it.Agree with this - his Champions League record is elite, especially considering he’s not playing for a top club or with great players; his link up play is top class, and he’s likely second only to KDB in the league when it comes to delivery of pass when he drops deep. At Spurs he’s generally played in narrow teams, but for England in an orthodox 4-3-3 with constant viable options either side of him, he reminds me of Francesco Totti as a false 9.
He also consistently eclipsed Aguero’s goal output for us at the same age, in an inferior team - he’s phenomenal, and exactly the player we need to invest in to begin a new cycle of success. People will probably advocate signing Lautaro instead though, because he’s a tattooed Argentinian who looks decent on YouTube, but we need proven Premier League quality to address this season’s sloppy finishing. Selling Jesus and Sane and replacing them with Kane and someone like Werner would be an upgrade, and allow us to phase Aguero out over the next 12/18 months.
Kane’s put himself on the path to become the Premier League and England’s all-time leading scorer, before reaching his peak; it’s amusing how underrated he is.
