A genuine question: what would you deem a realistic or acceptable offer from City, including any player swaps?

Nowhere near what we would accept but if we were ever looking at taking players in some form of exchange as part of a deal, it would be very interesting to include two of their most promising youngsters in Cole Palmer and Liam Delap. Both are enormously talented (probably the brightest in their age group in the country) and would give City some pain in the deal...take one of our own and we will take 2 of yours!

Interested to see who would take £100 million plus Gabriel Jesus and Ake… Agree if you would and disagree if you wouldn’t ?

Personally I would reluctantly do so as it’s clear Kane wants out and we would get a fair chunk of cash and 2 proven premier league players in positions we would need. It would be heartbreaking to see Harry go but let’s be honest he definitely wants too …

Depends on what the manager and the DOF wants.

Player swaps rarely work out anyway, way too many variables to consider.

Didnt want to just disagree and I'm not against a bit of player plus cash action.

I have seen those names bandied about but it feels like taking two bit part players. They are both good squad players for City but I dont feel like they'd make a massive difference for us.

Would prefer Laporte and a very promising kid.

150m plus Laporte. That is on the assumption that Kane actually wants to go there. I'd prefer to tell them to do one really but we know how players yearning for the greener grass pans out.

City will need to sacrifice someone who actually has importance for them.

personally I think we should take 120M plus Ake or Laporte...time to let Harry win things, we are not a club who will be challenging for titles...use the money to strengthen the squad...ideally I'd rather we kept him and spent 100M on the squad but its not happening..

Just the opening offer. We all know how this ends unfortunately - somewhere north of £120m

Winning the league every year is how it will pan out if true
