Kane is probably the perfect striker for City.

Bigger fish? Messi? Ronaldo? :lolol:

Yea he would be good for them but not sure Spurs would like to expose themselves as weaker than other English clubs (though they are), think its much more likely he will end up at Real, PSG or Bayern.

Messi quite likely. If Barca somehow manages to find the necessary money, then perhaps Mbappe.

They are in a bit of trouble. There is so much uncertainty there with so many players out of contract in the summer as well as the manager likely to leave that it can’t be helping their mindset. The injuries won’t be helping either.

I heard Palace fan journo Dominic Fifield on a podcast yesterday saying that it was quite an exciting time for Palace as they’re going to have a squad refresh and hopefully a bright future etc. I wouldn’t be quite so confident, there’s an awful lot of work required there! If they don’t go down this season then there’s got to be a big risk they will next season with that much change and replacing a safe bet manager.


Awful lot of work......[emoji23]

Understatement!

Here are the members of their squad that are out of contract in the summer:


—————————Hennessey————————-
Clyne———-Cahill———Sakai——Van Aanholt
Townsend—McCarthy—MacArthur—-Schlupp
———Batshuayi—————Benteke——————-

Subs:
Henderson (GK)
Mitchell
Kelly
Dann
Wickham


That’s going to cost quite a bit to replace assuming they won’t want to keep any of them (and the ones they do like Van Aanholt & Schlupp will find a bigger better deal).

Rumour has it Palace are trying to get Benteke to sign on again (surely on a much reduced wage) The overhaul that squad needs is going to cost a fair bit. With them struggling to pay Sainsburys what they want for a bit of carpark one has to wonder if they really have enough cash for the real job in hand.

Be surprised if City don’t go for Kane in the summer.

Could see Kane moving this year. He's not winning anything at Spurs and can't imagine he'll wait around for another squad rebuild when Jose gets the bullet. Spurs not in great financial shape either. Might suit all parties. I'd like to see him go abroad but hard to see Madrid or Barca affording him. I guess it would be City or United.

Spurs need to sack Mourinho ASAP. Massive error of judgement and vanity project by Levy to appointment him in the first place.

The game has totally passed Mourinho by in recent years, he’s completely out of his depth in the top level of management.

Levy has got some big decisions to make. Jose and Bale both looking like disastrous punts but can they afford to get rid?

Note to others.

Jose will say something outlandish in his post match interview.

He doesn't mean it.
It doesn't believe a word he says.

All he is trying to do is deflect the conversation away from him being a busted flush and avoid praising Pep (or any other manager)

Absolutely this. Narcissistic prat. No plan for how to attack and is fortunate he has Son and Kane. The way he handles players (Bale and Alli) is a joke. If it was a ruse to get sacked and get a pay off, he’s cleverer than we think.

On a Spuds forum their laughing with despair at what an awful player Davinson Snachez is. I didn’t realise, that he cost £42m.

I don’t want to hear a commentator saying “made a mug of Sanchez” again tonight :wink:
