Mic09 Posted November 2, 2021 Share Posted November 2, 2021 14 hours ago, villa89 said: No he wouldn't. No, but £200-220k would have been realistic and justifiable. Maybe massive performance bonuses and sign on £1m to top it off. The thing is, although we think it's a lot of money, it's a 3rd less than his City contract. That is a big difference. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Finally I dont think 200k+ would have been realistic for us given that would be more than double what anyone else in squad would be on. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Kane stayed and countless other players have stuck with "lesser" teams when the big boys have come sniffing. The sell clause was our downfall and whoever allowed it to be written into the contract is to blame. He was still on a long contract so giving him a sell out clause was a big mistake .

PaulC Posted November 3, 2021 Share Posted November 3, 2021 Quote Jack Grealish has created more chances following carries (moving five or more metres with the ball) than any other player in the Champions League this season. Real Madrid's Vinicius Junior (10) is the only player who has been directly involved in more shots than Grealish (nine - three shots, six chances created) following a ball carry.

Not happening is it Purslow actually said we had offered more wages than Man Shitty for him to stay Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Keyblade Posted November 3, 2021 Share Posted November 3, 2021 I love reading his thread on Bluemoon (almost reads like our Buendia thread). It's almost like they have a different player to the one we know. For one, they seem to think he's completely incapable of beating a player on the outside which is funny.

Let's see how Spurs do with a new manager , as for Jack sulking, so what he's sulking now at city. Saha , Philips , Rice and countless other players learn to deal with ambitious clubs who hold onto their biggest assets when they have their heads turned. You don't build anything letting your best players go, we have seen it all before. School boy error with the buy out clause. Let's see who was right at the end of this season.

Let's see who was right at the end of this season. doesnt matter who's in charge, kane doesn't want to be there and it's clear as day! that's what happens when you block a move jack was always leaving this summer. in hindsight that much was obvious. without a buy out clause we wouldn't have gotten 100m for him. IMO anyway. and we'll see about those other 3 you mentioned. there's not been a huge amount of speculation about any of them that i've seen. i'll wager minimum 1, but probably more like 2, of those will not be at their current club in a year. when a player wants to go, he gets his wish 99% of the time Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Genie Posted November 4, 2021 Share Posted November 4, 2021 The statisticians are working harder and harder to come up with justification for how well he’s playing. Goals and assists? Nah… Nobody has created more goal scoring opportunities after hopping on 1 leg, doing a step over and touching the ball twice in the centre circle. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
