runningaround Posted July 22, 2021 Share Posted July 22, 2021 rolls royce of a 10 and 9 but 160m?! wow Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
sheffield_dave Posted July 22, 2021 Share Posted July 22, 2021 Said this before but at £160m, I’d be going and getting Haaland instead. Suppose you’re still getting a haul of goals from Kane for that money, but still. Can’t quite put my finger on why, it just seems too much. 4 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Kopparberg Posted July 22, 2021 Share Posted July 22, 2021 “ Manchester City are prepared to offer one of Brazilian forward Gabriel Jesus, 24, Algeria captain Riyad Mahrez, 30, Portugal midfielder Bernardo Silva, 26, or England attacker Raheem Sterling, 26, as part of a deal to tempt Tottenham to sell England captain Harry Kane. (FourFourTwo) Kane could be set to earn a £400,000-a-week deal at Manchester City with Tottenham chairman Daniel Levy having sanctioned his departure last week.

(Sun) ” A swap involving a fee and Jesus sounds good if I were Spurs, considering that he wants out, but I wonder if he would want to go to Spurs. Definitely can't see Sterling or Silva wanting to go there. It would be a huge step down. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
scram Posted July 23, 2021 Share Posted July 23, 2021 Spurs just made the best signing they'll make this summer by getting Son to sign a new 4 year deal 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Orlando_Trustful Posted July 23, 2021 Share Posted July 23, 2021 Ridiculous fee. They should be signing Haaland. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ellis Rimmer Posted July 23, 2021 Share Posted July 23, 2021 Haaland is a bigger gamble. Kane is proven as the PLs top striker Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
scram Posted July 23, 2021 Share Posted July 23, 2021 Marginal gains isn't it? City want proven in the PL - that costs money And one of the greatest goalscorers to play in the PL, England skipper and as close as there is to a goalscoring guarantee is going to have a premium Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
nevthelodgemoorowl Posted July 23, 2021 Share Posted July 23, 2021 Does Kane have similar longevity to Abramovich ? Wondering what his resale value will be two years down the road ? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
scram Posted July 23, 2021 Share Posted July 23, 2021 Clubs like City don't care about resale They care about results - and they believe Kane is their best option to improve their results 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
matthefish2002 Posted July 23, 2021 Share Posted July 23, 2021 Mind boggling money!! I don't go back as far as the players getting the same bus as supporters to the games. But do remember the slightly naff sponsored players cars. Money in football has changed a lot more in the past 30 years than it did in the previous 100. I know people will say how many nurses etc would £150m pay for but its not Government or the supporters money. All does a feel a bit like computer game money though.

SiJ Posted July 23, 2021 Share Posted July 23, 2021 If you can get him, then it's an absolute no brainer. He's 27, coming into what should be his prime years, and he is up there with any striker in the world. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
DobbinTheDonkey Posted July 23, 2021 Share Posted July 23, 2021 Kane is an exceptional target man. I think he's a better fit for how Man City play than Haaland at this moment in time. The latter thrives in a counter attacking team. Should be good for England has he will learn how to move even better when the play is compact around the opposition's box Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
markg Posted July 23, 2021 Share Posted July 23, 2021 I know that people say that Man City don't care about resale etc, but to be fair to them, they've mad a lot of profit on younger players that they don't feel meet the grade, or they've signed players for good money that have contributed a lot and stayed with them a long time then released them, so they've more than got their money out of them, Fernandino, Aguero, Yaya, Kompany, Silva etc. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The latter thrives in a counter attacking team. Not sure we can take too much stock in pigeonholing Haaland yet. At his age and skillset he can be whatever's asked. The fact he's also rapid just feels like a bonus cheat code on top of everything else about how he's built and plays. I'm not sure this is a move for the Premier League. City have already won that and likely can continue to regardless. They want to take the next step in the Champions League, and for me that's where I'd be wanting to put the money down for a player who looks all set to become footballs next big thing alongside Mbappe. Undoubtedly Kane buys you goals so it's largely a redundant point, and they're probably no worse off in terms of the PL & CL for the next 5 years if they do buy Kane. Haaland would just be my preference at that sort of eyewatering money.. and I do want to see him in the PL (although ideally not at City). 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
FreshOwl Posted July 23, 2021 Share Posted July 23, 2021 Levy needs to sell the bloke. He doesn’t want to be at the club, full stop. Take north of £100m & a City player in exchange and have done with it Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Skyline Posted July 23, 2021 Share Posted July 23, 2021 Had a fair few injuries over the years where he's missed a fair chunk of games for Spurs. Obviously this can happen to any player, but if my memory serves right, he has missed quite a chunk of the past 3 or 4 seasons? Can't remember if he missed much the seasons just gone though. Don't think they will get £160mil, maybe £100mil plus a player. Bernado Silva apparently wants out of England, Sterline won't go to Suprs. Mahrez might, but he's 30 now, so will be on a decline so not much value there. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
BIG D Posted July 23, 2021 Share Posted July 23, 2021 With how he drops deep and how City play I think he would be perfect for them. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Seems to be a chronic issue as it happens most seasons with him going over on one or the other. Still - I'd suggest he's worth the risk. Honestly, I don't see any City player who is in and around the first team fancying a move to Spurs. Massive backwards step. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
