Whilst I accept we won't be making any offers for kane all the pundits have him nailed on for City and that makes them unbeatable. But surely with FFP if they spend £150 mill on a player they will have to have some serious outgoings? Do you think any of the likes of jesus laporte ake Garcia Torres Silva maybe will be actively looked to be sold. Would Jesus or Laporte be worth a look for us? Personally I think if spurs could get Laporte/ Ake and Jesus and £50 mill for Kane they would be crazy not to do so.
Also will we be looking to add a keeper at all I presume Adrian will be leaving.
Thanks.

Garcia out of contract in the summer lad, supposed to be off to Barcelona.

Kane is not better than Aguero of 3 years ago when we battered them 5-1 in the Champions League. Unbeatable? We slapped Bayern with Lewandowski. We slapped PSG with Neymar and Mbappe. We slapped Spurs with Kane in a Champions League final. We battered Barcelona 4-0 with only 1 of our front 3 despite them having Messi.
Have a word with yourself mate.

150mil for Kane when Haaland is available for a similar price makes no sense to me.
21 May 2021 10:24:07
Haaland is another level above kane and a better investment also, if you bidding 100m + for a striker.
21 May 2021 10:38:31
Ibiza Red, I don't think we need to worry about who City gets unless they are after the same players that we want. While having Kane to replace Aguero is important for City, I won't say that they are unbeatable. On our day, we can beat anyone, try asking Barca.
But it will concern me if other clubs strengthen and we don't. I hope we don't mess up the transfer window and we'll bring in some good additions and get rid of the players that won't get a chance to play.
21 May 2021 11:25:32
Mk Scouser I am not saying they will be unbeatable I am saying that's what many pundits have been saying. That if City sign Kane they basically wrap everything up.
21 May 2021 11:30:41
And your comparisons are almost stupid. Kane added to an already very very good squad is not like playing against a spurs with kane or even a barcelona squad of a few years ago that have been past their best for a very long time. But the main reason for the post was wondering if City will be restricting in even bidding for Kane or Haaland because of FFP even though we know they have the money to buy either one. So MK I don't need to have a word with myself thanks.

Kane would be a fantastic addition to City. he already creates so much and puts away goals in a crappy spurs team. can you imagine him with sterling, b. silva, mahrez funning around him and de bruyne, gundogan, foden pulling strings behind him. hahaha, just hatin' to say he would make no difference lol.
doesn't mean we can't beat em, but c'mon now.
21 May 2021 12:35:35
City will just pay their way out of any FFP fines, FFP is a load of bollox that let's owners like ours hide behind it.
21 May 2021 12:37:21
The way you wrote it came across as though you thought it makes them unbeatable. If it was genuinely just bad wording then of course, it is the pundits who need to have a word with themselves. My comparisons are most definitely not stupid though. One good players doesn't make a team. Adding an elite player to a good team also doesn't guarantee success. Injuries can happen. Squad balance can be affected. Style of play can be affected.
I couldn't care less where Kane goes next season. The colour of the shirt he wears in Van Dijks pocket is irrelevant to me.
21 May 2021 13:20:04
Signing Kane to replace Aguero makes sense. Their squad on paper at least will be stronger than the squad of this season with Aguero mostly out injured. I don’t think it makes them a stronger squad than the one we saw the season previously to this year though. So next year and the year after when we are back to normal again will they be unbeatable? No. Not for me. They will be as strong as the team we beat to the league last year for me, so a there or thereabouts team as usual. If we have an injury free season next year then I would still fancy us for first or second.
And saying all that, who’s to say Kane won’t flop? We have seen plenty of great players move over the years and we have all said they will be unstoppable and then it all goes wrong for them. Torres to Chelsea anyone?
21 May 2021 15:16:07
I just don't get the Kane hype. WGAF? Wouldn't have him near this squad!
21 May 2021 15:37:01
Ferran Torres looks a really promising player but I doubt they’d sell him.
21 May 2021 17:18:38
When city buy a top class striker they will have all the pieces of their puzzle. They will be out in front next season by a bloody long way challenging on all fronts. Front to back they have a pretty unbelievable set of players. For us I think it will suit us feeling like the underdogs. It will hopefully bring back that dogid mentality back! Come on you red men.
21 May 2021 17:21:06
Kane will go to Man U
Greenwood Lingard and Williams in opposite direction plus some 80 million.
21 May 2021 20:13:18
Langland,
Why on earth would we sell Greenwood? He’s 19 and going to be too class. No chance he’ll be sold. I also think Kane will defiantly end up at City and with an already formidable squad that signing would guarantee the league for them next season IMO.
21 May 2021 20:34:08
+1 for Adam and Cymru.
Kane is much more like a Man Utd signing, who tend to want to buy players 'ready made'. Haaland could give you another 10+ years of sterling service (no pun intended! ) and is still improving.
21 May 2021 22:59:43
If city get kane and we can get close to 100 points again doesn't matter who they have it take some beating.
22 May 2021 06:20:12
United would have to offer a lot to Tottenham to get Kane for 80mil, plus Levy knows City can and will pay more. I just don't see how It's can afford Kane and why he would want to go there if he wants to win titles? He may win the odd Europa League with them but that's it.
Whilst City/ Chelsea and us exist in our current forms, United are going to struggle to win the league. City have formed an amazing defence now and have a team firing on all cylinders. Chelsea will spend again to try and beat City, and we have half our first team coming back.
United apparently have much bigger issues in their team GK/ CB/ CM than strikers, Kane so improve that for them!
22 May 2021 08:38:17
If we add konate, a striker and replace gini and City add kane and loose aguero, I see no reason why they are unbeatable. Our front 3 is as good as theirs, our defense is better, our keeper is better and their midfield is better (but not by much) . A pretty even contest.
22 May 2021 19:21:48
MK Scouser For me Kane is a better player than Aguero. Aguero is a goal scorer with great movement but Kane offers far more and I think has a slight better goal average playing for a team nowhere near city level. I would love Kane upfront for us I could see him getting 30+ league goals a season for us.
