Harry Kane MBE

[Legohamster]

I'd say drag it out over two. Rome wasn't built in a day, and tbh our only worry is Kane leaving. He's the one who is irreplaceable singurlarly but replaceable with 2 or 3 and making the team better. Still going to have some of the brickers like Davies, Winks, Sissoko, Dier, Sanchez on the books and will take time to shift.

I think there is the potential problem of losing him next season could be more disruptive if we are doing OK and moving forward - to then lose Kane would be a bigger blow - we are at the start of a rebuild now, losing him now woudnt have as much of an impact - in my view.

Oh sorry I think I misread what you said. I think we should sell Kane now for the right money, but a rebuild will take more than one window. So agree with you.

Harry Kane is the best striker that we could possibly hope to have playing for us. If Harry is prepared to stay (and happily stay, not stay begrudgingly and play at under 100%) then that is brilliant for us as we have the very best centre forward in the Premier League and one of the best few in the World playing for us.

If it takes a new contract with a bit more money and a reasonable (for both parties) release clause (say £130m) exercisable only in the first X weeks of the summer window from 2022 onwards for that to happen then that would be an extremely sensible thing for the club to do (I would also add into that contract that if such a bid arrives and Harry chooses to accept the move then he forgoes his remaining signing on fee payments as though he has put in a transfer request.

I will say here though that I think Spurs are looking to sell Kane this summer. I just don't see how we're making large bids for (e.g) Martinez while expecting Kane to stay. If I had a free bet to place on whether or not Kane was at Spurs for the 2021-2022 season then I'd put it on 'not'.

Covering out bases should he be sold i wpuld imagine

Can’t agree more except I think he will be here
I just don’t see city doing what they need to do

Yep, there isn't a negotiation here

- City have money
- I think it's pretty clear the price range
- Spurs don't negotiate down
- No benefit to either club doing deal late (City actually has a few injuries, so earlier makes sense for them)
- City typically doesn't dally.
- Spurs would want some time to buy replacement

If City "wanted" this deal, it would be done already, that's always been the strange part of this.

 

[Mcfee]

I’d prefer if he went this summer instead of the circus carrying on all through next season.

 

[AdamB]

I'd take Laporte + cash at this point, tbh.

Depends on the level of cash....and obviously the little matter of convincing Laporte to move. He'd be a great addition though

 

[Raziel]

I'd prefer he stay, win golden boot with us, get us back to CL and then leave on first day of transfer window next summer.

Min cash needs to be in £120M type range.

If we take a player, has to be a player that is a starter for us, Laporte would be one.

 

[Bedfordspurs]

How about Laporte on loan and £140m
With a deal to buy him for £20m next summer if we make the CL

 

[Gazza Dazzla]

Laporte in the deal with a good chunk of folding, like 120m+ would be great.

 

[AdamB]

Don't think there's a chance we'd get £120m plus Laporte. They'll be valuing him at say £50m-£60m, which might well kill that option

Better to keep him for a further year though

 

[Daisuk]

Yeah. I think we're reluctant to engage in a swap because it would signal us be willing to not accept the full amount we want without really knowing whether the player would be interested in joining us or not. Maybe we could talk to Laporte's agent without him snitching to City somehow.

 

[AdamB]

Say we were able to convince Laporte though:

- spend £50m on Vlahovic
- spend £65m on Martinez
- Laporte means we can sell Sanchez, say for £25m
- ...thats a net £90m spend, which we should be able to get out of City with Laporte (at least)

Means we have a top CB pairing in Laporte and Romero and two decent young CFs (perhaps though Martinez plays from the right, VLahovic in the middle and Son on the left)

Lots of the rebuilding done, particularly if we cna then ship out Aurier and sign Tomiyasu

 

[Daisuk]

Depends on how motivated he is though. Having someone around who doesn't really want to be part of the team isn't good for the morale of the other players.

like harry?

Harry cares about himself, and his goal records. There will be no lack of motivation for him to score goals

If we do sell Kane then two strikers and either a ten or RWF would be what i’d like to see. Even if he stays we should be signing one, not having a decent alternative means Son moves which weakens two positions and Kane gets over played.

I’d like Martinez, Vlahovic and Damsgaard, if Laporte is a part of the deal that’s fine but I’d hope we have earmarked some funds to cover another cb, one of Sanchez or Dier going may be key to that though. I like Damsgaard as if we can tighten things up at the back we need a lock picker and a set piece threat can make the difference in tight games. Not sure our 433 suits him (or Dele and tanguy for that matter!)

Midfield I think we are probably ok, just not sure if the balance is right if we have Lo Celso Dele and Tanguy all competing for one place whilst Sissoko and Winks would feel like a significant drop off as cover.

In a Kane leaves world, ideally

We sell Tanguy and sign Damsgaard but use Skipp.
We sell Kane and buy Martinez and Vlahovic.
We sell Sanchez and sign Tomayisu (too lazy to check spelling)

He'll I'd even go back for Trippier but I think that would be our signings done.

Reason I'd sell Ndombele is that he hasn't got what it takes, his attitude appears to stink and he's lazy. Waste of a talent, give it to someone like Hjolberg and he'd be playing for Real Madrid right now.

Not an ideal world though so we probs won't get all of that.
