Please dont let this end up with Kane leaving and us not getting either of Vlahovic or Martinez.
I'm not so much bothered if we get someone good who isn't either of those two.
Just so long as we get someone good.

This is realistically what will end up happening!Please dont let this end up with Kane leaving and us not getting either of Vlahovic or Martinez.
Was there any more context to that?
Bit of a strange way to word it (see my post in the ENIC thread).
This isrealisticallypessimistically what will end up happening!
Why? Paratici might have sold him for, let's say, £125m.. At least imo a very underwhelming fee. Levy will get an astronomical fee or it won't happen and rightly so with 3 years left on his contract.My concern here is that Levy is personally handling the Kane transfer.
If it was Paratici I’d have a lot more confidence.

I think the biggest question that needs answering on the Kane saga right now is....... Which ex pro has Simon Jordan schooled on how things work in the real world this morning?
I think if £125m was our best offer, we should downright refuse to sell and just keep Kane. He'll still be worth £100m or more next summer anyway so it's just not worth it.Yeah but the £25m or whatever extra from the Kane transfer isn't cost-free. It costs time, instability, dwindling options for incoming replacements, more expensive incoming replacements, more soap-opera media scrutiny, less time to integrate replacements, etc etc.
For me, sitting at home as a passive spectator, I say fuck them and fuck Kane and count pennies to the very end. But if I was making these decisions I'd have to factor into my calculations that just because it would be in City's interest it doesn't mean blocking that is by default in our interest.

I think the vast majority of the fans would be fuming if we get bullied by Man. City of all clubs and sell him for £125m, I certainly would. Especially in a summer in which vastly inferior players like Grealish and Lukaku went for £100m.£125m with time to reinvest it in a depressed market is worth more than £125m next summer (and make no mistake - if we don’t get £150m for Kane now, then we never will. He’ll be knocking 30 with two years left on his contract, and hopefully not injured)
Not being difficult but is there any evidence of it being a ‘depressed market’? People keep saying it but I’m not seeing any evidence of it being the case. What deals have there been that reflect this?£125m with time to reinvest it in a depressed market is worth more than £125m next summer (and make no mistake - if we don’t get £150m for Kane now, then we never will.

He’s brilliant isn’t he!I think the biggest question that needs answering on the Kane saga right now is....... Which ex pro has Simon Jordan schooled on how things work in the real world this morning?
When I agree with him, yes.He’s brilliant isn’t he!
