Jase 43,479 Posted May 20, 2021 Share Posted May 20, 2021 No way that Lewandowski rumors are true. Bayern won't sell him this summer. Next summer...maybe. It all feels like a ploy to get more money out of the club. It's just like when we were suddenly linked with Neuer not too long ago and he then got a new contract at Bayern.

Yes, I just looked into it on a more granular level, and there is zero chance he is leaving Bayern. It is all his agent agitating for a 2 year extension to take his contract to 2025.

Vesper 30,226 Posted May 20, 2021 Share Posted May 20, 2021 Wow, did we fuck up with Jamal Musiala. 7 topflight goals (6 league, one in the CL) in only 1000 minutes as a 17/18 year old. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Pizy 18,954 Posted May 20, 2021 Share Posted May 20, 2021 Kane is clearly desperate to leave. He’s off 100% if a club comes in with £100m. Judging by that interview he will absolutely put in a transfer request when he speaks with Levy about his future. As for Lewandowski, Bayern’s chairman already said last week that they aren’t even considering selling him. We can cross that one off. Looks like it’s Haaland or bust for us. We’ll have to think of some more unconventional targets. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I know people keep on saying City would because they have a lot of money but they have actually been careful to not pay over the odds for a player. Their most expensive signing is Dias at only £68m, that is less than what we paid for Havertz or Kepa. It's also debatable whether Guardiola even wants a striker considering his penchant for the False 9. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Feels to me like one of those situations where he and his agent have gotten signals from one or more clubs that they’re interested and will formally make a move for him. That’s why he’s starting the push now in public. Probably Pep and City in his ear. Levy could definitely play hardball but he has eventually broken down and sold. Modric, Bale, Eriksen. This could cause a massive distraction and headache for the new manager they’re bringing in to have you best player unhappy and wanting out.

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...

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 1,622 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...

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...
