MachoFantastico Posted July 30, 2021 Share Posted July 30, 2021 If City are willing to spend £100 million for Jack, just imagine how much Kane is going to cost them? £150 million, more? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

DCJonah Posted July 30, 2021 Share Posted July 30, 2021 Why would Jack have to use city to get a better deal? Our owners are prepared to give him huge money. They want him here for his entire career. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

TheStagMan Posted July 30, 2021 Share Posted July 30, 2021 Jack may be willing to go to City if NSWE are willing to sell him. That doesn't mean he is pushing for a move. He may be just as happy to stay here. I don't think NSWE will sell him, and I don't think he will push it if they don't. If NSWE do agree to sell, there will be something else that we are not seeing (injury concerns with his shins, a plan to invest the money etc, or a gentleman's agreement from last year - though it would be odd to stay last year and leave this year). I still think he will stay. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Top 4 - 6 is a pipe dream at the moment. Honestly, if we sell Grealish, 'not being relegated' goes back to being aim number 1, and then if we can do that, solidifying in mid-table. Our form without him last season was not suggestive of avoiding a relegation battle. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

If he moves he becomes a starter for England the following day. Only way he plays at WC a lot is if Southgate goes. Going to city won’t change that. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

As much as I rate Jack, I think Kane is a consistently brilliant Premier League player who is certainly worth more than Jack is. I'm still amazed Spurs have held on to him as long as they have.

theboyangel Posted July 30, 2021 Share Posted July 30, 2021 Maybe wishful thinking but the way I see it is that City have a genuine interest in JG but there is no release clause in his current contract. An offer of £100m will not be accepted but I imagine the club (owners and Smith) will speak to JG about his thoughts and if he is desperate to leave. If JG wants to go we will name our price and City have to meet it or it won’t go through. I don’t envisage Jack throwing his teddies out if City then fail to match our valuation but he may not sign another contact (leaving another 4yrs to go) I appreciate the lure of Champs League and mega bucks would be difficult to resist but I’d like to think Smith and the owners can convince JG to give us another season in which we’ll undoubtedly improve again. 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Ashley must be blind. Why? Much as I absolutely detest Steve Bruce, he did what was asked of him last season. Kept them up and had a solid season. As long as he can keep avoiding relegation, Ashley will be happy - he does not give a shit what the fans think or how the club plays - his only ambition is to stay in the prem and keep the money rolling in until he can finally sell the club. Looks like Bruce will be able to do that for him for a couple more years. Horrific for the fans, great for Ashley.

Foden, Sancho, Rashford didn’t play much at the Euros either - and in fact Grealish played more than all of them. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Yes - but arguably it’s not about replacing Grealish himself but his chances created, goals, assists, passing etc. It’s unlikely we can replace him with one player so we would need to upgrade on what we have to plug those gaps. We may sign someone who can create more chances than El Ghazi, someone else who can provide more goals etc. We can become a more balanced team without Jack and it will mean it’s less about opposition just tripling up on him like we’ve seen. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
