Yeah, same. Sounds like that to me too. I would argue that for a club record transfer to get done, you're probably gonna need everyone pulling in the same way, so this may be a blow for the Kane hopes, but maybe im wrong.
I would like to add that this person isn't a bullshitter btw. I've asked them many times if they knew about Kane while chatting about Grealish and they said they honestly hadn't heard anything either way. They got in touch with me for the first time when they heard sumat, coincidentally as they were passing on their congrats ahead of my wedding day lol.
