That’s why he’s starting the push now in public. Probably Pep and City in his ear. Maybe or he could be overplaying his cards. I mean, he stupidly signed that 6-year contract and gave his future to Levy. Have also mentioned before, if you're gonna spend 100m+ on a striker, you would be better off spending it on someone like Haaland. Kane will guarantee instant success because of his age but in terms of long term investment, he makes no sense if someone like Haaland is available. No point spending 100m+ now on a player and then potentially needing to spend big again in 2-3 years time. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Even so, no guarantee Guardiola will go for Kane anyway. Also, IF Messi becomes available this summer, would Guardiola go for him instead?

He’s got this unbelievable core of guys now and Kane can make them firm favorites for the next 2-3 years with that core. While for me Haaland is a guaranteed success were he to come to the PL there is still some risk of him needing to adjust like we’ve seen with Timo. If Kane is fit he’s already instantly the best #9 in the league and not a risk at all. You’ve got to capitalize on the primes of Kdb, Sterling, Walker, Gundogan etc before they start to wane physically. So a shorter term option makes sense. They were after 34 year old Messi last summer, remember. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
whats happening 1,615 Posted May 20, 2021 Share Posted May 20, 2021 why would lukaku leave inter? doesnt makes sense. lewandowski 0% chance. kane maybe 1% chance. haaland, i would give 5-10% chance. i would be fine with only sancho coming and ziyech/odoi leaving. havertz and werner will only be better next season, im sure.

Guardiola hasn't always bought ready made players and they don't really need Kane to be firm favorites. They are always the favorites anyway and they could potentially win the treble this season pretty much without a striker. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

They won’t be favorites if we beat them in the final and sign Haaland. 😉 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

chippy 342 Posted May 20, 2021 Share Posted May 20, 2021 I honestly can't believe we're being linked with Lewondowski. I'd even rather have Lukaku, than throw millions at a 33 year old. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

But he has just scored like 40 goals this season. Being 33 or not he’d be a mega upgrade in our team. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Vesper 30,162 Posted May 21, 2021 Share Posted May 21, 2021 here is a freak of nature to replace Giroud with 2.01m tall (yes, not a typo) 35 goals, 5 assists in 3270 minutes 'The Siege Tower' Paul Onuachu Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
