Im slightly concerned about the market for CFs. We've missed out on Daka, Ings and probably Tammy Abraham. I'm sure we would have brought one of those in if Kane left earlier in the window. I'm not massive on Lautaro and it looks like he might be signing a new deal, whilst there are a host of sides in for Vlahovic. I guess the latter is who we will end up with though, with one more.
It’ll be signed but not announced much like Bale.Id very much hope we would be bringing in his replacements before we sell him to City but doesnt seem like anyone is close. Disappointed in him, the fact we are selling to City, that weve caved and also that the fee wont be as high as £150mill after all the talk of our price or get lost (unless the add ons are massive and easily achievable).
I know I am hopelessly optimistic, but I think the squad are better today. Not that we have better players, but because we have a better team spirit and the players who are here are better coached.As things stand the team to face City is honestly significantly worse than the team last season
Not suprised Nuno wants him out. This makes sense.A few more bits coming in drips and drabs...
Kane being awkward since his return. Don't buy into his didn't want to hurt fans bs. All he wants is to go.
Nuno wants him out.
Fab wants the money asap.
We could miss out on targets if we delay too long.
City still not met the price, but are getting close.
Might not be completed by weekend but very likely agreed by all parties.
It definitely hurts. He would have gone with some well wishes had he not behaved so abhorrently but now he gets absolutely nothing.We honestly shouldn’t be so happy to just see him go. Yes he’s acted like a spoilt brat but we are still selling a world class player to a domestic rival. It needs to be uncomfortable for the whole club and owners. This should hurt.
That Guardian article says euros when I open it.
CoachNuno wants him out.
the harry kane team that kicked them out of CL without harry kane?Pep was right. We were the "Harry Kane" team. We were always one injury away from a crisis - and we hit that multiple times because of his crystal ankles and the fact we had no idea of how to play without him. Yes, his goals are hard to replace on a like-for-like basis but Son had a more prolific time when HK was out and having to develop a new way of playing that isn't solely through HK could liberate and actually make us more difficult to play against. We will certainly be less "stop Kane, stop Tottenham".
Plus, we have found ourselves in a position where we have weaknesses throughout the team. So whereas we could keep Kane, we'd then still have those weaknesses. Now we can raise the quality in other key areas. This, in turn, will hopefully make us better.
The money does have to be around 160 though. and the recruitment has to work.
It's certainly sad to see him go this way, but it's better to move on. Time to pull some triggers Paratici.
If earlier ITK is true and this is FP and Hitchen’s call then they need a play an absolute blinder here or Levy might be waving goodbye to them in a year. If they get this right then Levy may very well step away from the footballing side of things for good but this transfer window has just become massive!
