Seems pretty unlikely when city have Jesus and Aguero already. They don't need another striker
Harry Kane
- Thread starter RichSpur58
- Start date
I don't for a minute believe Kane will leave but they're supposedly looking for a replacement for Aguero so that's not necessarily true that they don't need another striker.

Aguero is 32, they have to start planning for his replacement at some point.

What has Joao Felix ever done to suggest that he would be worth anything like the £130m + it would probably take to persuade Atletico to sell? Sure, he scored a few in his breakout season.......for a Benfica team that dominated the vast majority of its games. But that's it. He scored only 6 in 27 in La Liga last season. And he has none in 5 for Portugal.
Of course, he is still very young. But he is only six months younger than Harry was when he embarked on the staggering scoring run that is still going strong six seasons later. It would be a lot to ask to expect Felix to match anything like Harry's return and consistency. At £50m or less, Felix would absolutely be worth the punt for a club like ours. But at £130m+.........no way, Jose. We'd be losing everything that Harry brings to the team and gambling two thirds of the proceeds of sale on a wholly unproven youngster.
I actually have no idea what the Harry Kane thread is doing in the transfer section but I guess that the mods are just following standard protocol on this and that a gobshite like Alan Sugar tweeting a rumour means that the thread must be moved here. Fair enough. But the rest of us don't need to take that as an encouragement to try to find ways of justifying why it might actually be a good thing to sell Harry. He is irreplaceable. Not just because of how brilliant he is; or how consistent; but also because he is, as the song goes, one of our own. Spurs fans need to stop and take a moment to think about that.........we have a genuine, world class player (a goal machine, no less) who loves our club. Have you any idea how rare that is; how beyond mere monetary value?
Sell him? No way. For £200m? Not even. Replace him with Joao Felix? Not even close.

Felix doesn't even play in the same position as Kane. Come on.

How much would I need to donate to the site to get this thread permanently banned from the transfer forum?

I would be amazed if he went this season, but I would be even more amazed if city weren't interested.
It's exactly what there missing, they would dominate (even more) with Kane.
Imagine kane, agüero and that little Brazilian fellow whose name escapes me. With sterling de bruyne Silva behind, no point watching football anymore.

I wouldn’t say best season, didn’t he nearly beat Clive Allen’s record I can’t remember, he’ll have to be amazing to get to that amount again (a few hatricks would help, it’s been a while!) but if he stays fit he will definitely be up there again.

If instagram makes people depressed because they see rich/famous/attractive people all the time. Twitter is the opposite because so many rich/famous people seemingly spend lots of their day trolling/arguing/stirring on it.

I agree but think if this were to actually happen (and I doubt it will), we’d benefit a lot more by getting 2/3 of their players and a £100m in cash.

I've said before that I wouldn't want to sell Kane because he'd be very difficult to replace. Plus, our recruitment hasn't been that great over the past few years.
That said, if you take a purely 'money ball' approach to this transfer, you'd see £200m+ being injected into the squad's value.
I know it's a soulless way of looking at things, but perhaps football is simply a war of attrition. Buy low sell high, pour the value gained back into the squad and eventually you'll hit critical mass, where you're fielding 11 outstanding players and winning titles.

Of course City are financially doped, but they actually have a consistent transfer MO. They have walked away from a few deals where the fee was rising into high £60M plus (Sanchez and VVD to name a couple). So yes, they buy a shed load of players at a consistently high fee, but I don't see them breaking their approach and suddenly spending £200 on one player. I think this is a bullshit story/rumour

Levy couldn't get Sancho off City, so a potential swap deal for some of their better players sounds far fetched.
Maybe I'm wrong but aside from everything else he has going for him, Kane is almost an ideal Mourinho forward, only thing he lacks is probably the elite level shithousery and the Zlatan mentality, but apart from that he's almost perfect in his play style so why would he sell him.
Also, Levy selling Kane to a rival is surely the end of fan goodwill for ENIC.
