Yes, I've heard the formal party line.
I'm sure he Did want him to an extent. Not enough though, if he did, no way some 30m of a difference would have stopped him arriving. Not with Aguero having just left, no real strikers in the squad, and even Khaldoon stating Aguero would be replaced. If Kane was indeed the one and only, and we believe that he wanted us, the club would have made it happen.
Did Levy fuck not want to negotiate, he was inviting bids all summer and leaking figures he would accept. And if you go with what was claimed, a deal would have been done if we had gone to 130m.
Pep didn't want him that much.
