What outcome would make it worth keeping Kane? In terms of fee received and where we finish this season
When? Liverpool look set with Klopp for years, and even when he goes I'd wager at Gerrard replacing him over someone like Potter. Chelsea are also very happy with Tuchel, Guardiola is going nowhere and if he does City aren't replacing him with Potter. United? More likely, but still see a Conte/Zidane as their type of guys.
The top 4 jobs are closed off for the foreseeable. Maybe Potter would reject us if we offered what I said, but I'd bet money that if we actually offered him a promising position rather than the poisoned chalice we gave Nuno, he'd give it a go.
Anyhow, this is the Kane thread so probably not the place. But upon selling Kane we need to finally be heading in the right direction, or all we'll achieve is people will find another scapegoat..
See also Soldado.
Why would potter want to come?
Especially when United will be open.
Too many moving parts to answer that....
- League finish
- Cup runs
- Possible managerial upheaval
- Individual goals/performance
- Eventual sale price
I pledge you an honest and simple yes/no answer when the time comes.
Isak is out there too!
200m spend... good one!
Certainly won't happen, but it's what is needed. If the club wish to get back in to the top 4 anyhow, which clearly they really have very little interest in.
Well dodgy goalkeeping there
He did give everything... but now he doesn't care and is clearly on the Eriksen plan.
Isak just signed a new contract until 2026 and plays in a better side than Vlahovic. Vlahovic could be available in January for around 50m I think, but both are very good and I'd be happy with either as a Kane replacement. Just don't know who'll spend good money for Kane now, chance of selling to our benefit might have sailed.
Money. Folk like that. See the obscenity Jose was paid for the shi show he brought. Plus two years ago Potter was in the championship. Some folk talk about him like he is Conte. He isn't. He will dump the 30k seat Amex with its piddling revenue in a heartbeat.
Stop believing the tabloids the Spurs job is not some unwanted position. United, City, Chelsea, Liverpool. These are bigger jobs in England thats all. The impediments are very simple budget and a man crush. If we avoid Covid lock downs the revenue will be greater than its ever been. The issue in world football is everyone knows Levy is waiting for Pochettino. Give him cast iron written assurances of tenure and he would come
He really believed he had a gentleman's agreement he could go. He wouldn't have gone public otherwise.
Levy has form on this. The smart move would have been thanks Harry. Demand 140m from City. They would have paid. This isn't hindsight. I said it at the time.
Levy didn't give a price. So City moved on.
We get a player who doesn't want to play for us.
Kane was sold the idea of a new stadium. Big signings mixing it with the big boys.
He gets Nuno. A couple of, and lets be fair, 2 very average defenders signed at the last minute a straw of a man in Gil and the return of skipp.
I do not blame kane for wanting to leave a sinking ship.
Levy is to blame.
Nobody blames Kane for wanting to win trophies. Nobody. It was the manner in which it was done to generate a move. The interview. The preseason. "Agreement" or not, whatever it was between them wasn't "City can rape us over the fee".
If he wanted to leave that bad, where was:
A) the transfer request
B) the appropriate fee from a buyer
Neither happened.
City thought they could get him on the cheap, Kane thought he would get to keep his loyalty bonus, Charlie rides around his office on his motorcycle because he has nothing else to do and we all look like a bunch of cunts.
If he believed in a gentleman’s agreement in modern business, he’s a moron.
Doesn't count, according to a few here. Cagliari are about as good as West Brom.
No goal.
I'm not a Kane-hater, but he shouldn't be taking FKs. Vlahovic got lucky with that one: he put it a few feet inside the post and the keeper is a short arse. If Manure still had Barthez in goal, I'd let Kane have one last pop.
