Kane?

I was in the ‘no’ team. Same for Ronaldo.

Same here, but I’m saying the club doesn’t feel like us clearly

I probably wasn’t very clear. I was saying in my opinion we dont need to buy a legend, we‘ve proven we can make them. Kev, Aguero, Silva, Kompany...

The club might want to buy one but I hope they’d prefer to make one instead ....

Who’s better than him?

Well good question. arguably nobody. The idea that he's only worth getting if he's around 10m is incredible IMO. Yes, he's 33 but he doesn't look anywhere near finished at the top of the game to me.

I'll point out the obvious - we did the Patrick Roberts deal hoping he'd make the grade, or at least be worth more when it came time for him to move on.
Lewandowski proven, but:
Bayern ain't selling to us ever
No value going forward
Doesn't fit our general business model

Yes, obviously the club hoped Roberts would kick on but it was still a punt. If you think signing someone right at the top of the game in a position that we are desperate to fill is worth less than that punt just because you might only get a year or two of a literal world class striker, fair enough. I don't agree. Totally agree that Bayern wouldn't sell him to us though. I don't accept the point about not fitting the business model. Obviously it would depend how much we could get him for, I'm sure he wouldn't fit the model at 100m but I reckon we'd be prepared to pay a fair bit more than 10m if we thought we could get him. But all moot because no chance we get him.

We overpaid on Grealish already. There’s no turning back now, whether people realize it or not

The market for English players is expensive. I’d say £80-90m would have been about right. Pretty sure we only paid £75m with future add ons, so I wouldn’t say it’s a bad deal.

has be a cheap price, say £10m otherwise it's pointless.

Anything south of £50m would represent a good price for Lewandowski.

Is this happening or another pipedream?

It’s not happening. No way would Bayern sell him now and certainly not for less than 50mil.

Didn't Bayern slap a £100m price tag on his head a few weeks ago.
