well to be fair i think kane is willing to push for a move and tottenham is therefore willing to sell. bvb doesnt want to sell haaland this window at all and haaland is happy to remain another season

If they had and wanted to spend this kind of money, it surely would be Haaland instead of Kane right?

This can't be right

Why not? Dortmund are like the worse club with finances in the world, they let Lewa gone on a free instead of make money on him and are doing the same (kinda) with Haaland, will reject Chelsea huge bids for him to get £75 million next season instead.

Kane is a premier league goal scorer, 20 goals ore more 3 seasons in a row for Spurs and now he goes to City to play more possession and in a team that create even more chances. He is also only 28 (in few days he is 28) so that for me makes him the best striker signing out there. Haaland is good and young but not tested in England...Werner was scoring 30 in Germany and struggled 1st season in prem for an example.

Kane is a top 3 striker in the world. If you compare that 150 mio with 50 mio Arsenal paid for White. I find it fine, the amount are insane but really it's harder to a top striker then god defender..

Werner is struggling with himself more than with Premier League and Haaland scored ridiculous amounts in Champions League already so I don't think he is nervous to score in PL
Also I'm not saying Kane is a bad deal, I'm merely suggesting getting Haaland might be the better deal

Well Kane brings exactly what city needs the most and perfectly suits their system. The move is totally reasonable in my book. The price of course isn't but as was mentioned before prices generally aren't anymore.

I agree. But i well say is that Pep has a history for bringing in great physical but bit slower forwards and them not working in his system. Thinking of Zlatan and Kluivert.

Kane is (currently) a better link man than Haaland, gets more goals from range, absolutely better at dropping deep and making assists. Has already developed a good partnership with Sterling for England.

Lewandoski may be the best classic 9 out there, Haaland is almost certainly going to be, but Kane’s the best 9.5 out there aside from maybe Benzema, so for a Pep team specifically he might be the best option.

I can’t help but wonder if Raiola frequently behaving like a grade A prick might be putting some clubs off Haaland, great player though he is. Certainly Guardiola given their history.

Guardiola really hates Riola since the times of Touré Yayá and Ibrahimovic in Barcelona. He has avoided having to deal with him since then.

For me as well Haaland is the "better" move for the large sum involved because his value while drops, wouldn't drop as much as Kane would because of the age vs value etc.

Still Dortmund won't give me Haaland at Chelsea this summer it seems

But once Kane leads Engerland to a title, his value will at least triple. Haaland has no real shot at this multiplier!

what are those dots supposed to mean? 50mil doesn't sound outrageous for Varane in today's market. Him and Maguire can be a fantastic duo I think.

If there's something interesting in the spanish text that we don't understand, it's good if you translate it.

if ben white is going to arsenal for 50m then varane for the same price is a steal.

also what are everyones opinions on jerseys for the coming season? i think theres a lot of good kits this year across europe actually. special mention to brightons which i like but also a bunch of other clubs. actually im pretty convinced united has one of the worst kits this season, but to be fair weve had shit kits every season since chevrolet. we should fire whoevers designing our kits cause theyve all been god awful. our home kit this season is one of the most boring shirts ive ever seen, not to mention that the away and third kits which have been leaked are shockingly bad. pretty sure a 10 yr old could design a better shirt.

Think Varane is on last year of contract and won't extend it. Why the "low price". Also 28 years old. Even if they paid the same for Varane as White. Varane is more expensive heard Man U offered twice the amount of real in wages. Was something ridiculous that I can't remember.

I'm very partial to Ajax's shirt this year. The retro style is obviously intended as a cash cow, but I'm still a sucker for the sentiment.

Here's Bergkamp in 1988:

E: I had the wrong picture of Bergkamp. This is the shirt it looks more like.

Yes the old logo is great. Don't think they should've changed it.
