Seems to be starting Vini and Joselu up top. Bellingham at 10. Started both games where they were fielding a strong side. Yeah Bellingham at the 10, but see it as temporary until Mbappe is eventually signed and then three of Jude, Cama, Tchouameni, Kroos, Modric and Valverde starting in the midfield three.

Viana Posted August 10, 2023 Share Posted August 10, 2023 Part of me thinks Kane is the dog that caught the van here. I don’t think he wants Bayern, I think he wants out of Spurs but still in the league, that way he gets both the goal record and trophies. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
TRon Posted August 10, 2023 Share Posted August 10, 2023 Always assumed German clubs were a bit more savvy finance wise than this. Imagine spending £85m on a 30 year old striker you could get for nothing next season. Levy will be laughing all the way to the bank, that will give him a huge cash pot to spend on appreciating assets. Yes I know Kane is a class player, but I'm just not a fan of throwing that much money at a player who will decline in the next year or two. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
kingxlnc Posted August 10, 2023 Share Posted August 10, 2023 This is why Man U beggar belief at times. Goalscoring was their number one problem last season. They spend crazy money on older players anyway (Casemiro) so why not guarantee goals (and probably a title challenge) by getting Kane over Hojlund. Can't understand that decision - it's only 20M extra - probably tons of wages on top to be fair - but you just got rid of De Gea, Elanga, Maguire, McTominay probably. Don't even need to replace any of those - frees up plenty of wages. Can guarantee Ferguson would have demanded him, he bought RVP at age 30 too.

kingxlnc Posted August 10, 2023 Share Posted August 10, 2023 Kane is also a way better player than Owen and other pure finishers/poachers. Kane drops deep, has amazing passing too - could even be a CAM if goals slow down as he's very creative with the ball too. It's a good thing as I think Hojlund will have a Darwin Nunez-esque season, some promise and some stinkers too. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
kingxlnc Posted August 10, 2023 Share Posted August 10, 2023 Even if it was 110m - you are essentially buying 25 goals a season guaranteed for at least 2-3 seasons. How much is that worth in this day and age? Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
mighty__mag Posted August 10, 2023 Share Posted August 10, 2023 I'm a bit puzzled what City are looking for with Paqueta? Is this another filler type signing, like Phillips, or do they see real potential to start him or perhaps replace Bernardo/Mahrez. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Stottie Posted August 10, 2023 Share Posted August 10, 2023 The Spurs lads reckon Levy will not sell Kane to Man U. Dunno if Kane could force it by rejecting both Bayern and a new contract. That would of course be a massive, burn his bridges with Spurs move. The potential ace up the sleeve here is that Spurs could offer him a huge-money, multiyear deal on the assumption, or possibly even pre-agreement, that he buggers off to Saudi when its no longer value for money for them. If "we can just dump him on Saudi" is an option, a megacontract would not have the normal potential millstone type risk. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

I think they’re looking for him to fill in for De Bruyne when injured/rested more than anything. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

I wasn't comparing the two, both totally different, Phillips was high profile at the time, but city on occasions do make squad filler signings, even at expense. I'm not sure he could do the job of a KDB who literally dictates the game for City, I think if Bernardo leaves then it could make sense he plays a part. Who knows? City have someone the best scouts around. They've obviously identified him for a role if reports are true. I'm more worried they'd use him to attract Bruno their next Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
McCormick Posted August 10, 2023 Share Posted August 10, 2023 People are sleeping on Paqueta here. A really unique profile of player and genuinely one of the best midfielders of his type in the league. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

He’s a talented player and hopefully Pep can get the best out of him. At times he has been fantastic for the national side, just very inconsistent which is something he can afford to be for City given their depth.

mighty__mag Posted August 10, 2023 Share Posted August 10, 2023 (edited) Westham could do a decent rebuild with over 200m At this point now, I'd be saying sack moyes, as he'll have them blow the lot on trash.

The College Dropout Posted August 10, 2023 Share Posted August 10, 2023 Like he coped with the pace and strength of the league. Put his foot in. And when West Ham had the ball, he was silky. He’s not Tonali off the ball but he held his own. I’ve realised - Howe doesn’t love that profile of player. He’s more Klopp than Guardiola. Moyes than Ten Hag. He ranks physicality super high.
