Tottenham fan on Reddit seems like some of them are not as bad as the ones on here they seem to know Kane is going.
“City tap up Kane. They agree terms.
City start talking to Spurs. Put in bullshit £100m offer. Levy tells them to come back with something closer to £150m. City eventually offer something near that. Levy agrees on condition that agreement is kept confidential until end of transfer window. In theory, it’s also kept from Kane to minimise any chance of leaking.
Somebody (probably from City) accidentally lets it slip to Charlie Kane. Kane gets over-excited, starts telling everybody and anybody who will listen that the deal is done (wedding incident).
City high-ups realise that this is proof of confidentiality clause being broken and is jeopardising the deal with Levy. City release strong denial of deal having been done to try to salvage. Maybe it works, maybe Levy insists on a few million more as the price of renegotiation.
The Kanes are told of the deal and told it’s meant to stay a secret. Either the Kanes understand that breaking the clause would kill the transfer but want to send a message in a petty way by not training, or they genuinely think that the fact a deal is done means there is no point going to training. Might as well have an extended holiday.
Levy and Paratici spend ~£150million before the end of August including 2 attacking players, Kane is then announced as a City player.
City Bayernise the Prem, Spurs hope to become England’s Dortmund. Sounds shit, I know, but this analogy does mean perpetual Champions League and scum/Schalke getting relegated.
