Harry Kane

[spurs mental]

Match threads should be a hoot.

I've infiltrated them. CityMental. As long as they don't read SC they'll never suspect a thing.

 

[wearetheparklane]

I'm calling the newspaper headline when he signs in case no one else has:

"Cityzen Kane"

Who pays me?

 

[1882andallthat]

Oh dear god, are those city fans mad? So a businessman who runs a club within its own means and turnover is the one in the wrong?

Irony and self awareness has never been their strongest suit....

Now don’t be a naughty boy and wind up any of those poor little lambs whilst you’re over there! ?

Be such a shame if you started any in-fighting! ?

You might have to split the payment as its a headline that's been suggested a few times in here already... (It's a good one though).

That said if we're going for Orson Welles film references maybe 'Harry Kane - Touch of Evil' or 'Harry Kane - F is for Fake' would work

"HurryKane!" Can striker secure move before deadline day?.....

Oh balls.

I'm imagining it's 1 - 1 on Sunday and Kane comes on with 15 minutes to go, pings one into the top corner from 25 yards, Pep's face zoomed in on Sky Sports, crowd go wild.

We win 2 - 1.

City bid 170 million the next day.

And he tells them to piss off, he doesn't want to join a team who just lost a cup final and are battling for survival in the league.

"HurryKane!" Can striker secure move before deadline day?.....

“Kane entertains the (colin) Bell end”

although that could be about him and CK ?

That's reminded me of a Peep Show classic

What an earth is going on? Why aren’t the club releasing anything of him training (even on his own) why hasn’t he released anything else ?

 

[Pochie]

They can only screw us over if we allow them. The price is XXX, the deadline is XXX…………not one penny less, not 1 minute over the deadline. Meet those terms or fuck off

THIS is Levy Time. Yes, Daniel!

Not like they have any fans watching the games anyway. Probably 5 pages in those threads.

If it remains quiet, it wouldn’t surprise me if a deals done and we’re trying to add recruits before any announcement.

Good points mate but the point is about a fair price for both sides but mainly doing what is best for the club at this point in time.

Sometimes you need to sell players for slightly under their value or the asking price if it is for the greater good of the club and given the huge sum we'd receive then if it meant selling an unhappy extremely influential player for lets say £140m rather than keeping him and holding out for £175m and not selling him, I'd take the first option, especially given our current situation of needing to continue and finish this re-build asap.

IF the situation was different and we had a squad full of top top quality players in every position like say under Poch when we finished 2nd to Chelsea and our team was : Lloris, Walker, Toby, Jan, Rose, Dembele, Wanyama, Eriksen, Son, Dele, Kane, then sure that is a different story as we could barely upgrade that first XI we just needed a bit more strength in depth so in that case i'd absolutely be pushing for max value and holding very firm as we didn't need to sell at that time, however I think its important to take into consideration the context of our current situation when thinking about the value we could and should accept if we were to look to sell Kane.

Also Lukaku was what £95mil and Grealish was overpriced at £100m as he had a buy-out clause but he is younger than Kane.
I think at age 28 and with a few possibly injury risks that a fair price for both sides for Kane would be £150mil. We probably at a guess will be asking for £175-200m+ and City will be trying to get him for nearer to £100-130m. If in this situation the absolute max they'd go to is £130m or £100m & say Laporte or B.Silva then personally in our current situation I think it would be worth taking a deal like that.

It isn't exactly the same but if you take the Eriksen situation, we probably had offers of £50m for him a year and a half before we ended up selling him with 6 months left on his contract. If we hadn't had held out and tried to convince him to stay we could've re-couped a much better fee to re-invest, in the end we had a clearly unhappy player who would've directly or indirectly been effecting overall team morale and making the managers decisions more difficult AND we ended up losing out on about £40m worth of value that we could've sold him at.

Hopefully you see where i'm coming from on this.

If Kane goes for the sort of price you're suggesting we may need to accept, I think we'd need to be reinvesting 100% of that on quality attacking players (1x CF + 1x AM) - in addition to any transfers that we have already done this summer and were intending to do if Kane stays (hopefully a back-up striker is on the cards either way). I'm not confident that would happen though, as we made a profit the summer Bale left.

I'm not convinced we would have spent more on replacing Eriksen or Dembele if we'd sold them earlier, as Lo Celso and Ndombele cost almost £100m between them. We may just have ended up with a smaller net spend, with Ndombele and Lo Celso (or equivalent) signed a year earlier. We'll never know though...

His future is clearly up in the air....I doubt if anyone knows if city are going to pay up or not but as ITK suggested it will be done by the 23rd one way or another.... It would be madness to flood social media with him to sell him a day later as at the moment anything they post is not certain and secondly would be flooded with ridiculous comments from both sets of fans,

I agree, reckon it's done.

I still think they are missing the beat right now:

Clearly someone should be running with a "Kane Mutiny" headline whilst Kane is insisting he wants to leave.

Of course it negotiations break down it’ll be ‘Kane isn’t Able’
