I assume your post is related to my post that I hope we're not in for Kane and Delli? If it is, the only Spurs players I'd like to us go for are lloris (rate him highly) and your two fullbacks (as we only have Kolorov at the moment who I'd like to move on). I don't feel we need Kane or Delli currently.

Was very calm when i posted and very much loving the banter with Ronny.

 

Ireland and Delph and not very similar are they. Ireland had one great season for us (2008/09) when he was City's player of the season, he was a decent player in that team (which included players of a standard of Michael Ball, Vassell, etc), but currently he'd be competing for a central midfield playmaker slot against the likes of SilvaD, SilvaB, Yaya and KDB, so no way would he get in. Delph hasn't played much and is there to give us effort/legs, a totally different player than Ireland; the opinion of most City fans is Delph isn't good enough but we're optomistic that he could be turned in to a high-energy left wingback, if he could just stay fit - can see him being sold in the next 12 months if he doesn't improve.

 

Richards was axed in favour of Zabalata; Zaba was hardly a mercenary, was he!

 

I luv what BB come's out with, must be great in his world

Got 4 dogs in the boonies already mate. They have one simple job, which is to bark and scare off potential intruders. Unfortunately, they like their sleep too much!!

Please elaborate on this as this is the most bizarre post I've seen in a while.

 

I believe your Bobby Mancini squad is your most coveted BB. I'm pretty sure that forward line included balotelli at his peak perhaps, Dzeko, Tevez and Aguero and you think your all good with Jesus, Aguero and Nacho and Nacho is looking like a goner? Your two world class forwards short even with Nacho. Nolito don't look like he's hanging about either so whilst your defence is in need your strike force is also an area I'd be very surprised they do not beef up with some proven goalscorers. Just surprised you do not see that.

Best striker in the Premiership proven by his tally and three months he didn't even play.

 

Not good enough for one Citeh fan.

He is not going nowhere no matter who comes in. He has set his stall out. He wants to break all records for goals at spurs and in the prem. 

[Bredbury Blue]

Don't believe I said Kane or Alli WEREN'T GOOD ENOUGH I said I hope we don't go for them...there's a considerable difference.

Plenty of spurs blood sought pastures new previously to earn more and better their careers so I suspect the only difference here is the behind the scenes set and infield set up is favourable at present.

Why not kane then if he was looking elsewhere I do believe virtually any club who could land him would be on high alert. If your in for aubeyemang over an option on kane surely 9.999 whoever fans go with kane.

If they were looking for a move then I’m sure Pep might be interested. For me Kane might be interesting, a decent back-up to Aguero, but Alli, nah I’m happy with what we’ve got.

Alli's better than kdb. to be fair I'd take kane over aguero even without the last few hat tricks as Kane I think is more durable, younger and already much more proven at the age he is than aguero was at the same age. If I were you I'd be hoping city don't hold onto players too long so as to avoid the rut you got yourself in over the last two seasons.

[Bredbury Blue]

^
"Alli's better than kdb, kane over aguero" - don't agree.

"If I were you I'd be hoping city don't hold onto players too long" - good advice. Aguero is 28.

Aguero turns 29yrs in a couple of days, as a footballer it's all down hill from there.

I think Pep will be considering Jesus as his 1st choice striker next season.

Maybe the time has come to let him go already.

I disagree. You watch Spurs and love Alli. I watch City and love KdB. I'm happy to stick with KdB

Ibra 35, Messi 30 in a few weeks, so we'll see if Aguero's on a downhill; he's just had his best goal-scoring season for us so the downhill hasn't started yet.

 

I think Pep considered Jesus as first choice ahead of Aguero within weeks of arriving based upon Jesus play suiting Pep's style more, but Aguero surprised City fans by adapting his style and upping his workrate (he was a bit of a lazy prima donna at times in my opinion).

 

Based on his goal record last season and his willingness to adapt and participate as Pep wanted, I don't think the time to let Aguero is now or will be for quite a few seasons yet.

 

Kane has had 3 good seasons and he's played in a team on the up the past 2 seasons. Aguero has had 10 good seasons and has been playing in a team in decline / transition for the past 3 seasons. Happy to stick with Aguero (and from what i saw in Jesus cameo last season he looks a very decent player).

Strikers main job is to score goals.

2/3 seasons as a golden boot winner for Kane. 

 

1 in 7 seasons? for Aguero.

 

So yes I agree somewhat lazy during his peak years versus a younger player who is better all round already and he's english too. Ibrahimovich better striker at 35 than aguero is at 28 and younger.

• Yes a strikers main job is to score goals and both Aguero and Kane do that.
• Winning the golden boot; Joe Hart won golden glove award 4 times in 5 seasons so would you use golden glove or golden boot as vindication of being better than another player?
• Kane better all-rounder, maybe. I don't see enough of Kane (but i see every game with Aguero) to know the answer to that. But if you watch every game Kane and Aguero respectively play in and that's your opinion then i'll note that.
• English, yes that's a plus factor.
• Their respective records are similar except Aguero has been doing it for a long time, season after season. Will Kane? Time will tell. Aguero is consistent and had his best season last season it was supposed to be a difficult season for him and for City. Kane had a remarkable season last season.

YOU go for it our kid...

 

Difference between the ManU in decline thread i started 11 years ago (and admit it, that thread hurt didn't it  )and a possible City one, is that ManU fans refused to accept it, whereas i accept City have been in decline these past season (and hopefully we are in transition upwards).
