If they wanted a superstar for Aguero, wouldnt they have done so 12 months ago?

Arguably harder to convince Kane to request a move when his team just reached the CL final.

I think he's actually going to request respectfully to leave either this summer or next though. Which makes it an easier process for a buying club im sure.

You have a remarkable level of insight into Pep and City’s plans.

I personally think City would be better with Kane up top than Jesus. I think that’s probably a pretty widely shared viewpoint.



What superstar CF was available last summer?

In covid summer? A lot.
You dont need much insight, name all of the strikers that Pep has signed over his City tenure. Why is this summer any different? Especially when what he has works so well.
He thought Jesus and Torres was enough last summer, its there in black and white.
City dont sign superstars, they dont get into bidding wars yet here we are talking up Haaland, Mbappe and Kane based on...?

Name these superstar CF’s who City could have bought last summer if there’s so many of them.

Why would I name every striker Pep has bought at City when he inherited Aguero and bought Jesus for £30 million?

My initial point was that I thought Kane would be the ideal CF for this current City team given his combination of finishing ability and link-up play. I also qualified that Kane would unlikely to be available to City this summer for a variety of reasons.

I don’t really know what your points have been about.

I'm intrigued by people who think Kane will try and leave Tottenham.

He seems the classic one team man to me. Delighted with his lot as it is.
 
Didn’t watch the game tonight but what a cracking header that was. Shaws cross was a good one but I can’t imagine a single player at Utd having the desire to win that ball and put it in the back of the net. He’s a proper striker, funny that he was being so badly written off last season.

Agree , I think he’ll stay . He’s 100 off Alan Shearer’s record and roughly 40/50 goals off Spurs all time top scorer. He’ll retire at Spurs.

Many arent available unless you make a move for them. They had a covid summer, ffp relaxed.. And signed Torres. Chelsea showed who was available when you actually try and flash the money.

Then he’s an idiot to be honest. He’s good enough to put his name firmly into the best premier league players in history, you don’t manage that without some trophies. If he went to city I think he would likely go up another level and hit Lewandowski like figures which would elevate his world status 10 fold.

Yeah, Havertz and Werner - hardly a ringing endorsement for splashing the cash.

Neither would have been the superstar CF for City you’re describing either. Who should they have bought last summer?

Here is what he said when he signed his new 5 year deal in 2018:

"I'm looking forward to the future, it's been fantastic to consistently get in the Champions League so I'm really excited to have another go at that, and with the Premier League and FA Cup, we'll look to go as far as we can."

^ he had faith in the project with Tottenham and thought they were going places. They are now set for back to back years without the Champions League, they have regressed in managerial style and the side is disjointed. He is now 27 and the latest he has to say:

“I always like to be focused on one goal and one job and that’s to finish strong with Spurs, win these qualifiers with England and hopefully go on and have a great Euros. Look, I try to stay out of that speculation as much as possible. I’m fully focussed on doing the job on the pitch from now until the end of the summer and then we’ll see where we go from there.”

Before he was vocal about his commitment to Spurs and would talk about seeing a future there. Now, we've seen Ornstein confirm he wants to leave, James Drucker backing it up and Kane's own quotes with an ominous "lets see what happens in the summer" vibe. The writing is on the wall with regard to whether he wants out at this stage.

He's not going to say
"Yeah we all know Totty aren't ever winning anything, but they're offering to let me trouser 200k a week, and I'll be the big man for 5-6 years here, with a team built around me, with zero pressure".

Is he.

I'm not sure what point you're trying to make here - but I'm pointing out there is a lot of credible information to suggest that Kane is now looking to move on from Spurs. It's quite evident he's had enough.

Time will tell buddy.

He's trapped himself there really. Not a bad trap, on his money, but he'll take triple digit millions, which no-one is spending in a year after no crowds.

I'm not denying he's made the situation very sticky, but I'm saying he himself clearly wants to move on now.

If he doesn't move on this summer I don't think that suggests he didnt want to move. He's obviously very professional and there are other matters that stop him from leaving, i.e. Levy. If he didn't leave this summer, he'd most certainly be out the door next summer, assuming Spurs are doing more of the same.

Definitely think he'll aim for Greavsie's record. 51 short of equalling.

Last season was probably the time for him to move. I'm surprised Citeh didn't push hard for Kane then, Jesus just isn't cut out to replace Aguero in the long term.
 
Been a true pro, done everything asked of him and more at Spurs, IMHO he would take City to a completely different level. If he wants to go, he has my blessing and id say most Spurs fans blessing.

How would Spurs fans take him leaving to another English side?

I can only imagine City, us or Chelsea paying the fee.

If he goes, it will be to another English club.BAm outside bet may be PSG if they sell Mbappe or Neymar.


his value in a post Covid world and given his age, are miles off what Spurs will think he’s worth.

I really don’t see him moving. He may not like it, but think he will not want to risk pushing for a move.

has any club actually seriously looked at buying him? Just think he’s far too expensive. Nothing to do with playing ability, as he’s a great player.
 
He is our type of signing. Class act, real professional. He would take us to the next level. Sell Martial and get Kane we would be so much more competitive.

If they haven't surely they are pretty fecking stupid. The reason I think there has been no stories is because they knew he didn't wanna leave, if we start hearing stores you can be sure Kane wants to go.
 
What was he think signing a 6 year deal? On the face of it it looks utter madness to commit that long to (with all due respect) Spurs. It wasn't even like it was pre Neymar fecking up transfer fees either it was a year after that move happened that Kane signed this deal. Maybe he does just see himself being at Spurs for the rest of his career regardless of lack of trophies
 
It's a tricky situation for Kane without covid, even more so with, many players will be staying put for 1-3 years more. Also a bit odd to sign for such a long time if one truly does want trophies and to keep open the chance, I don't see Spurs saying to Kane bugger off then if you don't sign for 6 years. Yes at the time Spurs were going quite well but I wouldn't say it was going to continue at all. A surer bet was said to be Leeds dominating the PL for the next 5 years but that went up in smoke and included a CL semi final.

Without covid it's a case who actually? Logical is City but they still don't want to pay very big fees. In another era United could've been, he'd be great for us right now but we've been a poor top 6 team for the most part and even now it's difficult to say that have we the basis to stay up there and build or slump back to top 6.

He'll probably break a few records at Spurs and be a Teddy Sheringham type signing in a few years as an ace backup striker.
 
cyberman said:
He didnt have to drop so deep for Spurs though, they had 2 of the best attackers in the league in that position at the time and their attacking output plunged when Kane started doing his Rooney impression. Hell he hasnt scored for England for 2 years now as he plays the same way.
Its great as player development but it hurts the team imo.

You’re blaming Kane for Alli and Eriksen’s poor form? They were shite for Spurs simply because they were shit, not because Kane “likes to drop deep”. That’s just something a person would say to fit his agenda.

Yeah I said at the time that I was in total disbelief that he chose to sign a 6 year deal, it was a ridiculous waste of talent.

I say that not as a dig to Spurs fans but just speaking the truth.

It’s effectively like Rooney renewing with Everton for six years instead of moving to a top side at the time in United. To waste his talent for 6 years there instead of winning everything with a new club.

Levy must have well and truly sold him the dream, bleating on about that poxy stadium no doubt, it’s cheese room and how they would continue to improve...

I think you have missed my point.

there are clearly clubs who would want Kane. But he’s priced out of a move.

I really don’t see anyone stumping up £100m for him.

the likes of Mbappe and Haaland can command that fee in a post Covid world because of their age, and they have sell on value.

a massive 4/5 year contract for a 28 year old (in the summer) is now a massive financial risk.

He's the main reason Spurs have been so competitive, and has given Spurs a great service. I don't think any Spurs fan would begrudge him if he decided to leave and win something before he hangs the boots up. At 28, probably time to put some trophies on the shelf, a striker of his talents(world class) deserves at least something to show for it other than golden boots.

Spurs were lucky he came through the academy and cost nothing. They would never be able to compete in an open market for a striker of Kane's level.

Be interesting to see where he ends up in the all timer list of great strikers if he goes to another team and bags a bunch of trophies.

I think you are being somewhat disingenuous to Spurs.

they could have signed a young Kane. Indeed, many clubs could have signed Kane from Spurs when he was out on loan at the likes of Millwall. He never looked like a prodigious talent that was guaranteed to make it.

how many clubs in the World can sign a world class striker in their prime? The answer might just be zero at the moment, and in normal times only a small handful.

You clearly missed mine, Kane has been preforming for 6 years now, and not one serious story about him leaving, simply put id say the clubs contacted him he said not interested so no bid ever put it. These agents most likely now are getting a different answer from Harry. I agree I cant see anyone stumping up the cash for him.
 
I think he'll be stuck at Spurs until the end of his contract, or maybe he'll leave in summer 2023.
Levy will demand a silly price for a player with recurrent ankle injuries and I can't see anyone paying anywhere close to what it will take to sign him.
Crazy that he signed a 6 year contract and I think he'll be regretting this now as it looks like Spurs will be in for a few years outside the top 4.
 
Looks like his contract is till 2024. City looked better without a straight number 9 in the team this season, can't see why they'd be interested at anything like a price Spurs would accept anytime soon.

Could end up at PSG if Mbappe goes, can't see any other realistic destination before his contract expires in 2024. Would be too expensive, if he's a free agent then guess can pick from his choice of clubs.

I agree with this.

No matter what Kane wants to do, leave or stay, it is not up to him. Levy will want a minimum of £100m which no club will pay when Haaland is available for similar price and 8 years younger.

Like you say, I cannot see anyone paying for someone who has a dodgy ankle.

He can point fingers at the club or whatever but in truth he cannot blame anyone expect himself. He decide to sign a 6 year deal, surely him or his agent know what Levy is about.

No sympathy from me for him if he is not allowed to leave.

Yep - things can change pretty quickly at a football club. Spurs went from a CL final to sacking Poch within a few months. By and large its been downhill from there bar a decent start to this season.
Nobody can possibly predict what will happen 5-6 years down the road.
I know a contract protects a player in the event of a career ending injury, but it's madness to sign anything longer than 3 years with an option for 1 more imo. I can't imagine he was under too much pressure either, as he was already under contract at the same club, so not like a buying club wanted the reassurance of a long deal for a new player.
Guess we'll see what happens, but at least he'll get to break Greavsie's record by the looks of it.

I agree, its fine to sign a long term contract to protect yourself however; we have seen it with other players when they have a clause incase the team finishes below top 4 or something.

6 year contract when you are 26, unless you have no intention of winning trophies is fine.

For all we know, he doesn't want all the trophy hype and would rather be a one club man breaking all records.

I think we have the same result, but suggest different reasons - I think it’s not that he hasn’t wanted to move per se, it’s that clubs know the money required is just too much, that’s certainly been the case since he signed the contract.

it would be different if he was 23/24.
