Leicesterpool Posted 2 August 2021 Share Posted 2 August 2021 52 minutes ago, CrispinLA in Texas said: Massive difference between how Grealish moves to City and how Kane will get to City. Grealish has kept quile and seemed not bothered if he gets the move, while Kane has done the opposite. Kane is the Captain of England and should have set a better example, acouple of months ago he was interviewed playing golf with a skysports presenter some guy called Neville who stitched him, Kane apparently telling him Man City was his preferred (final) destination. Really dumb of him when he's got such a long contract with spurs Difference is Grealish plays for a club he supports so he cant really lose on any deal, while kane despite chants of hes one of our... hes actually arsenal fan. So he couldn't really give a damn about spurs, however saying that hes always been respectful towards them and dragged them at times in some games. Just a time where kane has said enough. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

CrispinLA in Texas Posted 2 August 2021 Share Posted 2 August 2021 (edited) Read news reports over the weekend that because Man city will spend 100m on Grealish then they won't have the Cash to buy Kane, and Kane being abit selfish probably thought he can get to Man city first. He knows that Man city need a striker more than they need Grealish.... Just thought maybe.....so many angles to the Kane Saga Edited 2 August 2021 by CrispinLA in Texas 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I doubt Kane couldn't care about Spurs, even if he was an Arsenal fan growing up. Many a player has changed club/grown closer to a particular club in their career (look at Birch!). Grealish sitution is difficult as he can leave and win everything or stay at the club he loves. Lots of players have done the latter and ended up not winning much/anything. Depends which way you look at it though as playing for the club you love could outweigh winning things at another club. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Samilktray Posted 2 August 2021 Share Posted 2 August 2021 Can’t imagine Kane being the type to go abroad. I know Paris isn’t that far or a massive change of culture but I dare say he won’t get chicken dippers and chips as readily there 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Finnegan Posted 2 August 2021 Share Posted 2 August 2021 3 hours ago, StriderHiryu said: The Kane situation makes our signing of Daka look even better than it already is. Because if he was still available then Spurs could have sold Kane and brought him in to have a potential 20 goal a season striker and still have 120m in the bank. Rudkin is so, so good as DOF. Used sales of Maguire, Chilwell, Mahrez, etc to maximum effect. Whenever you are feeling down about Leicester City FC, you just need to pinch yourself and realise how good we've got it. Unbelievable club at the moment. It helps to have a recruitment team that clearly Rudkin and the board have genuine faith in. The priority targets the last two summers have clearly been identified well in advance so as soon as the summer starts Rudkin has the freedom to just go straight out and strike a deal. One look at Fofana and then Soumare has confirmed whoever is making these calls has a genuine eye for talent. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Have mates who are villa fans tell me about how rich their owners are and how they're not a selling club. It's probably beneficial to us, they're less of a threat to us without grealish and we're never catching city.

Md9 Posted 2 August 2021 Share Posted 2 August 2021 Hopefully both Kane and greilish go can’t see us realistically catching Man City this season. At least then villa and Spurs lose a big player each that will be very hard to replace with anyone close to the quality they are. Also be funny to watch Spurs go completely to s*** 4 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Les-TA-Jon Posted 2 August 2021 Share Posted 2 August 2021 Musa for £20m, Slimani for £30m, Perez for £30m, Ghezzal £12m, Silva for £22m and the 14 second fiasco, Iborra £14m Our transfer are generally amazing, but I think a lot of our duds are swept under the carpet. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
fuchsntf Posted 2 August 2021 Share Posted 2 August 2021 3 hours ago, StriderHiryu said: It's crazy how sustainable we are. - Tielemans goes? Soumare and KDH can step in. Might not be as good but we'd cope. - Rodgers goes? Get the next up and coming coach or coach with a good youth development record. Hassenhutl would probably do well here for example, even if he's not quite as good. - Vardy falls apart physically? Daka already in. - Maddison goes? Will get crazy money, could play Praet / Perez short term and replace later with stacks to spare. - Etc, etc. There will be ups and downs. I think over the next 10 years we could bounce anywhere between 2nd and 10th. But barring a massive change like Top having to sell up, I think the model will continue to work. Incredibly Leicester City Football Club is probably the *least* stressful thing I have to worry about in my life . Might always want us to do better, but really it's pretty damn awesome. This..!! It is the balanced Way of thinking... No Stress knowing we will see some decent to Great seasons, andd Not get frustrated, Chasing some "entitled". ambition.Which means this era spread over Another 10-15 yrs...gives us a potential, 'Not should' era of Collecting some decent Silverware... .Consistent higher PL places will See us competing in the end-run-ins across All competitions... Though I wont see it all...it will be a successful Group of seasons and Period , where Leicesters History & Tradition can climb to a more consistent higher Level... Like you mentioned 'competing' for 2nd(1st..) to 10th.. Not struggling to hold & fighting between 20th-12th placings. We have to appreciate, how we have grown, where es are, but Knowledge still in the new building phase...and will remain ,like Spurs past...a top 4 Chasing club.. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I wish I could run my own business with that level of shrewdness I assume its multiple persons tbh. As fans, and actually even in the media, we get preoccupied with individuals when it comes to transfers. You always hear Jurgen Klopp wants to sign so and so, or Guardiola being held responsible for X transfer. Even at Leicester, we always credit/blame individuals like Walsh, Macia, Congerton, Rudkin, etc. I'm pretty confident that identifying need, specifying targets, negotiating fees and finalising contracts are all team efforts at every stage.

ealingfox Posted 2 August 2021 Share Posted 2 August 2021 Should we maybe wait until Daka or Soumare have played a proper game for us before proclaiming them brilliant signings? Can't say I'm ready to reach that conclusion after 3 friendlies against lower league clubs, none of which we've won. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
