F'kin lol

This is the City attempt all over again if true. A whole lot of media smoke blown up everyone's arse in the hope that it gets him to put something out publicly. Fuck off. He's not going to do your job for you.

Put. Up. The. Money.

Edit: Is that photo a live pic of when Kane heard about this offer?
 

curlacious

Don’t look at me. I’m irrelevant.

Here's the actual article. The whole thrust of it is about Kane almost definitely going to Bayern and we will strike a deal, and the £75m stuff is way down the page. I don't think there is anything new here to be honest.

That sounds like they're not improving the offer at all.

Going to drag, which means our business will to...sigh.

Why can't we just bring in one of the CB targets now ffs

Lol £75 million? Surely the journo has just plucked that out of his arse. I don’t believe for a second that a) we’d accept that, or b) That Bayern would think we would accept that.

OK, but you're making out like this is always what happens, when it patently is not.

Porro, first choice, we paid what they wanted. Now with hindsight lots of people think that was bad.

Maddison, first choice, done quickly and got a good deal.

Kulusevski and Bentancur, first choice done quickly and for good prices.

Going back, Ndombele and Gio were first choices, they took time but were the players Poch wanted.

Richarlison we paid big money for as we wanted him.


The idea that we should just go in and offer whatever is being asked is just not how things work. Every team tries to get the best deal they can, and that's exactly the right way to go about things. Now yes, if that ends up hindering us from making any signings, or the right ones, that's obviously problem. And that is what happens some of the time, but not all of the time.


I agree that Levy/Enic should be doing more, we should be in a better position, but we don't need to go down such black and white routes, because it doesn't deal fairly with history at all.
Sure by all means try and get the best financial deal you can. But there comes a point where any advantage the club gains by saving money off the fee is outweighed by the fact that we have a gaping critical hole in our defence that could derail our season which starts in two weeks, and we have known CB was a priority position for months before the window even opened.

And while it might not happen every time, it happens often enough. When was Porro signed? With about 20 minutes left in the January window. Not only might he have been useful in what was a pretty indifferent run of form in January, he would have had an extra month to settle in.

Yeah it's nonsense, a journalist suddenly has access to the new bid.

Well if the club had any sense or foresight they would've realised Conte was almost certainly leaving, not bothered to sign a specialist wing back for 45m and then used said 45m to invest in a CB in the summer when we inevitably changed manager.

Shame this was predicted by plenty of people on SC but was well beyond the brain-trust at Spurs HQ.

Ironically it was probably the idea of our DOF who intended to sign another pragmatic coach who would play with wing-backs who we also lacked the foresight or sense to realise would also soon be banned from all football activities.

So, basically, it's bullshit clickbait that "our" aggregators have blown up for their own benefit... once again... who needs enemies.

I’d be shocked if this doesn’t get done for £80/85 max, and we will probably bring in one of the TWO absolute necessities in cb we need, and probably a reserve striker who won’t play much atall.
As much as I want richy to step up, he just can’t, he will never be the 20/25 goal a season striker we’d need, take into threat Harry’s general linkup play/assist etc etc etc.
We’re onto a loser regardless imo.

The problem is they hold all the cards.

Take the money, sell Kane abroad, keep the fans happy (relative I know).

Or keep him. Then he goes to a prem rival for nothing in 12 months....

We will end up dragging this out and sell him to Bayern on deadline day at this rate.

Don’t fret guys. Out of out control and if the worst thing is that he goes for nothing then so be it.

That's true, but it also means Bayern won't get him and they desperately need a striker this summer.

They can't afford to not get him this transfer window as they will have no chance once Utd/City get involved next year.

Especially as they're losing Mane too.

I reckon they'll pay up £100m including add ons in the end.

Fuck me, this is so fucking boring! Get your balls out and say 90m or fuck off. Put a proper bid in for a cb not depending on his sale. They won’t want to miss out on Kane for 15m. Deadline 5 days.
