Harry Kane

[mackenzie]

Can't remember where I read it (maybe tolmie on here?) but didn't somebody say that Kane had been told that he could leave but to keep his head down and let the suits sort the deal out? Maybe his absence was him following those orders and he's been made out to be striking when it was done with approval from spurs (the unspoken specifics of the situation) - maybe he wasn't aware he'd get slated by the media and fans

Or I could be chatting bollocks

Edit: When I say "Not aware" he'd get slated.. I mean not aware it'd be briefed to the media that he's gone on strike

Been saying similar. Tolmie definitely said this

Sounds legit. Kane is no loss in August anyway ;)

Haha yes forgot about that record

"While I won't go into the specifics of the situation"

Why? Could of easily shut everything down and said I'm staying but didn't.

Would make sense. You're not entirely off the mark here

also, "the situation". meaning, something is *still ongoing*. I don't know how anyone read this and thinks "ah, all's in the past then"

The most laughable comment being peddled out by Sky is that Levy doesn`t want to sell to a rival......

FFS a rival ! ...... since when have they been been a club that would challenge us.

A rival hahahahahahahahahahaha

It's always felt like he'd go for ~£120m -£130m. If Levy is refusing to take that, or we're holding out at £100m, then either are being daft. Given how smooth it's gone for Grealish I don't think it us.

It went smoothly with grealish because we paid his release clause, a release clause Grealish had written into his contract rather than rely on a gentlemans agreement. Kane did the opposite.

He'd have been better off not saying anything at all and start going to training.

I still think that Kane will come to City.

He's been our main target for ages. I can't for one minute think that either our Board or Levy are gullible enough to think that the Messi situation changes anything.

City want Kane, City need Kane
Kane wants City, Kane needs City
Levy wants money, Levy needs money
City have money, City will ultimately pay what Levy wants.

It's not really any different from the Mahrez deal, where we ended up paying top dollar because Leicester were in the driving seat.

Levy is in the driving seat. He'll play hardball to the end of the window.

If we sign someone else instead of Kane in the interim, Levy won't give a toss.

Levy can't lose in this situation. City should just pay the asking price and get on with the season.

He is very poorly advised.
