Is the re-integration of Kane now in full swing? First Sanchez quoted in the Evening Standard and now Dier all expressing the same, Kane’s a top player, professional, we’re more than one player etc etc

Is anyone else surprised City didn't sign Tammy Abraham for £34 million? After all with Pep's famed coaching ability he could easily turn him into.a £160 million plus forward.

When Real Madrid were in the process of buying Modric, I had a conversation with a Real Madrid fan. When the subject of the fee came up, he said something like- "When Real come, they will tell a club which player they are buying and how much money they will pay. That club will then bend the knee, take the money and be grateful that Real have chosen one of their players."

That's where Man City fans are now.
And yet we got an extra 18 mil for Bale than they originally bid. ;)

City are trying to play poker with Levy without realising they're clutching only Uno cards. Bless them.

This approach would work if we really wanted to sell him. It does make me laugh when reports give the impression that we're the ones who need this sale to happen.

Recency bias. What is that? A cognitive bias that favors recent events over historic ones. Are we really a better team without Kane, plus investments? How would your opinion change if we dropped points against Wolves? Funniest thing about it all is that Kane is now hated, Levy much less so. That's some good PR right there.

I saw KAne score his first goals for us and runacross the pitch waving his hands like a lunatic in celebration..with real joy on his face.. we’ve had great years with him, he really did give his all year after year.. but now I actually want Son to lead our line and, with gratitude for his service, let HK go off to fulfil his ambitions..

Of course they want him, but they like us want best value.
For example I really want a kebab right now, fucked if im paying 50 quid to only kebab shop that's currentlt I'll wait til tommorrow

We'll see ?

I'm not so sure. They went straight in and over-paid on Grealish, a player they do not need. Money that could have been put towards the Kane deal. A player they absolutely need. They insulted us and Kane.

And it would appear that we'll get way more than 18m over the original bid if City do end up buying Kane.
Surely you can't be suggesting that these entitled, arrogant fans might not be entirely correct in their arrogant, entitled beliefs?


Also, that's the kind of random blast-from-the-past-extra-bit-of-not really-important-info that I just love for some weird reason, so thanks for that!

But you're presupposing that people don't criticise them. I explicitly stated that the other PL chairmen aren't saints either and cited a specific one. I don't support Leicester's owners either.

But the problematic thing about what you've just said is that it's whataboutism - it's attempting to deflect attention from Man City's owners by highlighting someone else's.

Either one considers something right or wrong. If it's wrong, it doesn't matter if someone else does it too, it's still wrong. And excusing the destruction and dehumanisation of human beings is wrong, not matter who does it and it's just as wrong to use the money you make in those activities to try and deflect attention from it.

One small point - this is the Kane thread, so this discussion isn't for here. There are other places on the site where we can discuss it, so I'd suggest any continuation happens there.

It's more the snideyness of how Kane and his family have gone about the whole sorry afair. If they'd been upfront with a transfer request I believe the majority of our supporters would have eventually understood his reasoning. But in trying to drive down the transfer fee he's rubbing our noses in it.

Just when I thought the manager search was the most boring part of the summer, this comes along and is somehow just as boring. Whether he's going to leave or he's going to stay, let's just get it fucking over with already.

And to be fair that is exactly what I've heard from that side of the fence. I think their heirarchy are completely underestimating Levy. Either that or they are actually prepared to bid a lot higher than they are letting on. Which is also possible.

So he may be right, unless he's one of theirs that has said it's all agreed and just not announced for what ever reason. In which case he's miles off. Miles and miles and miles.
