Kane is irreplaceable as an individual. No one in world football truely like him and certainly not in our budget/wage range.
BUT if you have seen the film Moneyball you’ll know it’s possible to get players that can ADD up to a Kane (or as close to possible) if that makes sense.
We need people in positions all over the pitch so like Trix says. If they meet our terms then we just need to crack on with the rebuild to add up to Kane stats.
Yes.
Look he's a world class player, there is no doubt about that. He is however 28 and has real injury concerns. We could hold him and sell next season for less than we will get now, or we could sell buy 2 quality up and coming forwards and a quality CB or CM with what is left.
If it wasn't for his ankles I'd be against it, but we all know they've kept him out for extended periods on multiple occasions already, and the issues aren't fixable with surgery etc.
My personal opinion is that we have a new manager, new DOF and a full on squad rebuild ongoing. I'd rather do as much as possible in one window and have them all settling in asap. Rebuilds are always painful, and I'd rather do it quick. Like a plaster just rip it off and be done with it rather than prolonging the pain over a couple of seasons.
One thing I would say though is I 100% would not be interested in him ever coming back if he goes.
It's certainly possible. With the match on Sunday it would be far too sensitive a time to announce anything before then. The team/ bench selection should speak volumes.Kane deal get's done early next week IMO.
I think it's lined up straight after we've played them.
Great bit of ITK already today.
Feeling today maybe busy.
We need different options, not more. Outgoings have stalled, if we cant trust that list of options, I hope we choose to move a couple of them on.I think we’re right to be looking at strengthening the midfield. Skipp is green, Ndombele a risk, Winks is back up at best, Dele likely to be found out in CM and Lo Celso while quality has been fragile. Definitely need more options here.
So we're back to Kane is going again I honestly am not ruffled by this either way now, if he stays fine if he goes I believe we've got top strikers to come in not counting Dane Scarlett.
As for Winks insisting on staying, well he may start to question his choice if we actually bring in one or two high class midfielders, at present he's looking at Skipp in and probably Sissoko out so we haven't added anyone.
I agree with this fully, however I'm probably a bit different in that I'd be more than willing to sell at 130/140 to get this done and not the 160/180 figure that others say is the minimum they will take...reason being just to get this rebuild going and have 2 strikers with a good season and experience under their belt so next season they should be ready to hit the ground running.
Interestingly Man City* used to have a player called Neil Young playing for them. He was good but not 'Like A Harrykane'.Thought that meant we were signing Neil Young. Then I realised it probably wasn’t about him. ?
I would love to see the back of Kane ASAP, personally. I have no warm feelings toward him and that won’t change.
Be interesting to see if City have put their big boy pants on this time around, and actually come in with a serious offer.
I kinda hope they do, I've had enough of this saga and the fallout already, and personally want it done in order to crack on with the rebuild.
? Citeh back again…FFS…
Fed up of all this. Only way we know is our way and terms!
