The benefits of Kane over Haaland include he has proven himself in the league, he is homegrown, and he is stylistically more suited to a team who like their number 9s dropping deeper etc.
The last point is obviously true but Pep throughout his career has shown flexibility with how he structured his attacks. The first two points, really not important to City in the majority of transfers they’ve had major success with. Aguero, Fernandinho, De Bruyne, Cancelo, Ederson, Laporte, Dias, Silva, Gundogan, Bernardo, Rodri, Toure, Kompany... none had any experience in this league. The only major signings I can think of that were from this league were Walker, Stones, Sterling and Mahrez are exceptions, two of those were 22 or under, the other two were roughly £100m cheaper than the very least we’d consider for Kane.

Glad to see Micah Richards saying yesterday that Sky Sports were being disrespectful talking after the game about where Kane will go.

Suddenly every one of them start back-tracking and coming out with absolute bollocks. Neville suddenly shouting "I never said he'd leave! He didn't say he was leaving in my interview! I never suggested it!" and **** Redknapp "Oh yeah of course Micah, oh yeah nah ee ain't left Spurs yet, ee might not leave at all".

Backtracking pricks being called out for their bullshit. Neville was in full retreat, it was embarrassing to watch.

There a video of this at all? I've seen part of it but not sure I've seen what Micah Richards said in full.

A little tired of this Harry going saga, stay or go for Pete’s sake.
Also Daniel, get yourself a DOF and a manager ASAP.

I mean, both would be great for city, the point is that I think that going to Kane makes more sense from a Guardiola perspective. While not important, it is a plus side, Again, you say exceptions but that's half a squad, while the examples of their biggest successes many of them predate Guardiola. Homegrown and league experience are quite clearly advantages, even if not deal makers.

Haaland would stylistically change man city, and it's not a perfect fit. He is still a good enough player worth changing for, but I think it's obvious why Kane would be more appealing. To be perfectly honest he'd be a massive success there.

Actually don't worry, found it.

Is a short clip here for anyone wondering.

Well then they better start their cheque with the words ‘world’ and ‘record’ ?

I highly doubt that's what we are going to hold out for. I fully predict that in the end it will be for circa 120m this season, or about 100m next season. No way are we getting close to 200 million.

The advantage of selling this season is it's a buyers market, and 120m will get you quite a lot of value, next season clubs might not be so desperate for coin. If there is one window to have money pumped into you it's this one.

Perhaps we should just say that he can leave for £165m. No negotiations, pay it now or ask again next year if you wish.
We can set our fee but this is telling Kane we will sell him. If the buying club decides to play hardball and bring the price down and negotiate then Kane's head could be turned anyway.

I have little doubt that negotiating such deals is not as easy as you think.

I want world peace.

But if you don't like the media bullcrap, don't read gossip.
I was asking you what you think about Spurs and Kane, agree with you about world peace. ☮️
Good point about gossip, just will check on real facts from now on.

He wants to break all kinds of personal scoring records, he has said that numerous times, you seriously think he would down tools, never going to happen. If he stayed he would still be trying to score as many goals as possible that’s a 100% fact. 3 more years is way more valuable than any money in my opinion so I would hold him to the contact he freely signed. It’s not about what Kane wants it’s about what is best for Spurs.

What’s best for Spurs is to act with class.
