Summer Transfer Window 23/24

What would be the need to move to Man U? I know there is this pressure for him to win things, but City are the only ones to guarantee that in England. Any other club in England and it's a gamble and I don't see him wanting to burn bridges with Spurs. He can go win a few Bundesliga's but is that better than being the PL all-time top scorer?

Yes, we don't guarantee that either.

PL top scorer would be good but he may just be fed up at Spurs now, they have a fancy stadium but their ambition seems limited to being top 6, not top 4.

Bayern would have a decent chance of winning the Champions League, Bundesliga is a bit meh.

You say that like anyone remembers Shearer winning the PL, all that is spoken about with him are his goals.

I guess the point is, once Shearer's record is broken he won't be remembered for that either. Kane could break the PL record and win nothing, only for Haaland to hang around at City and within a couple of years of retiring, Kane's record is gone.

I hate the idea of any player playing for individual records or awards. Football is a team game and there's far more joy in winning even a League Cup than a golden boot or all time scoring record.
 
If they don't want to keep him then they could have just not offered him a new contract. I can only assume they initially planned to renew his deal as their number 1 keeper but they've decided to sign a new keeper now and see him as a number 2.

Probably thought he wouldn't entertain the offer and would move on and now he hasn't their plan has backfired.

In all likelihood though I reckon Baz is right. We have had this offer on the table for a while and EtH probably realised after this season that DDG isn't up to snuff and need to be replaced and the club don't want a second choice keeper on £200k/week or whatever he agreed to.

This is what I assume happened.
