If Man City do the Grealish deal, how could they possibly afford Kane and still be within financial fair play?

If Man City do the Grealish deal, how could they possibly afford Kane and still be within financial fair play?
BS Guido. These one-eyed fuckers in here would have turned on him the second he stopped scoring goals just like the faithless bastards turned on Poch and any other player that doesn't pass their ad-hoc purity tests. To only 'love' a player (or anything else) while they are doing your bidding is not love at all. I hope he goes and does whatever he feels is best for his life and career as I do for any other person in this world. I hope he fucking bangs'em in for Pep and reaches Shearer's mark.Agree. BUT not turning up to training is being a massive cunt. It's a very dangerous road to go down, if he's being advised by his brother to do this, he needs to think again very quickly. He's got one day's grace IMO, if he turns up tomorrow he/they can still spin it that he was having a COVID test etc...
What he's not grasping is there were huge sways of Spurs supporters at the end of last season and over the summer who were sympathetic to him going, that's to say they were highly supportive and the anger was directed at the Club instead. If he downs tools he loses all of this goodwill, with 3yrs left on your contract he's putting pressure on the wrong Club, he should be putting pressure on City to pay the money.
You were drawing ridiculous comparisons and ridiculing our fans for being upset with KaneNevertheless, his opinion - about wanting to leave Atalanta - has made it to the press...
Did I say he did not turn up to training? He's got no reason so far as his club - following his wish - entered into negotiations to sell him. Should he skip training because it's taking such a long time?
Romero is on a loan deal with an option to buy - which Atalanta has decided to exercise. With the permission of Romero. So he's not really on loan any longer- otherwise, Spurs would have been negotiating with Juve and not Atalanta.

The fact they are part of a ruling elite in a country where there are religious police to arrest the people. The fact homosexuality is a crime in their country. The fact migrant workers have their passports kept by their employers and during Coronavirus their passports were retained by employers when laid off so they were stuck in Abu Dhabi. The fact that Sheikh Mansour has been involved directly I money laundering and bribery. The fact they broke FFP without any pretence.I do not get how any football fan can think that a club run like Woolwich is better run than one that is run like Man City, except if their view is heavily obscured by jealousy or some sense of "unfairness".
Woolwich had the invincibles. They were close to being the best team in the world, in a position that is far easier to hold than to break into, situated in one of the most attractive cities for football clubs in the world, in the richest league in the world. Since then, they very gradually underinvested and overpaid young seemingly talented players their way out of the top 4.
Their league positions the last 25 years:
96/97: 3
98/98: 1
98/99: 2
99/00: 2
00/01: 2
01/02: 1
02/03: 2
03/04: 1
04/05: 2
05/06: 4
06/07: 4
07/08: 3
08/09: 4
09/10: 3
10/11: 4
11/12: 3
12/13: 4
13/14: 4
14/15: 3
15/16: 2
16/17: 5
17/18: 6
18/19: 5
19/20: 8
20/21: 8
Ever since the early 2000's, people have been talking about how well run a club Woolwich is. Their league position tells a very different story.
How is it better for a football club, to have one or more owners seeking to enrich themselves at the expense of quality of football, rather than having owners that invest in the club?
The owners of City have not just spent a shit ton of money on random players. They have invested wisely in City, actually getting great results, getting the arguably best manager in world of football, getting great, exciting players, playing excellent football, building a fantastic academy, etc. They have built a club that is now in position that can be defended for years to come if the clubs stays well run.
A well run club does not move from being arguably the best to being outside of top 4 for five consecutive seasons and being 8th two concecutive seasons.
I liked the way we were run until everyone got too greedy for trophies. The last few years we have struggled as decisions have been made with results in mind instead of progress. That being said, the best way a club can be run is by having owners that are willing to make sound and wise investments in the club.
I can not understand why it is better that a club with a rich owner looking to make money is financed by a million working class people, like Woolwich or Manchester United, rather than that a club is financed by a rich owner looking to provide the greatest possible quality of football for their fans to enjoy.
Sky are just a TV version of that twat Durham on Talkshite...just say something controversial to get listeners .
And that's got what to do with Kane wanting out?
Not saying you're wrong but Kane doesn't care about that, the footballing authorities don't care either. He just wants to join a club that actually challenge for and win trophies.
He'd rather that was Spurs but we had our shot a few years back and blew it. Levy and ENIC had no ambition then and no ambition now.
Are you really this dumb???!
You were the one drawing comparisons that don't exist between the Kane and Romero situations.
Spurs and Atalanta are close on a deal the valuations aren't that far apart. Romero turned up for training like a professional.
City and Spurs are light years apart on a deal and Kane is acting like a little bitch, disrespecting the fans, the manager, and his fellow professionals.
Hence why we are kicking off.
Don't get your point and it seems people are in agreement with me.
That’s the most damning thing imvExactly, that's why he hasn't put in a formal transfer request....not turning up for training mustn't count...
Its totally bogus. One has acted like and adult the other like a kidHas Romero not turned up for training then? Did he cause unrest by leaking he wanted out before a vital league game (Villa)?
And that is also purely speculation Time will tell. I doubt both are that daft.I don't expect that Charlie Kane is a particularly savvy guy. So first, it wouldn't surprise me if their moves here are about as blunt as Harry's captain speeches before games (as seen on Amazon) when he stepped in as captain for Hugo.
And so it wouldn't surprise me, given that awful interview Harry did, if they believed $100m was enough to get it done, given their "gentlemen's agreement."
Sonny sounds like Harry...he'll never know...
Kane hasn’t put in a formal transfer requestAre you really this dumb???!
All telling me what I already told you and trying to use it as your own argument lol
Romero do NOT need to skip training as his club has agreed to sell him. I already stated that. So why on earth should he skip training when he is getting his will??? Romero does NOT need to force a move apart from leaking to the press that he want to leave Atalanta.
Kane is NOT getting his will as Spurs are refusing to let him go. That is why his skipping training to force a move...
So you are happy to see a player putting pressure on his club to join Spurs ....while it's totally wrong for a Spurs player to do the same when he wants to leave Spurs..
PS! Again, I do NOT support Kane's actin of skipping training but maybe - I am repeating MAYBE - they did had a gentleman agreement that Levy & Lewis broke.
Yet you are happy to see
Not dumb then?And that is also purely speculation Time will tell. I doubt both are that daft.
Vinny?
What did Charlie say at his wedding?
What a ratAll the guests were talking about him going to City for £160m and the media got wind and ran with the story. Was on the front page of the rag this is the Sun newspaper.
