I think the thing that dosent help kane is that as soon as he can walk.again spurs at him.for 90 mins and hes so mismanaged when is comes to injuries

That's not what I'd call looking into his injuries properly.

IMO clearly has a completely fucked ankle. They are only getting more and more frequent, and any kind of contact on his ankles seems to put him out for a minimum of 10 days which suggests to me something is permanently damaged and he's playing through it.

September 2016 Ankle injury.
March 2017 He reinjures the same ankle.
March 2018 Ankle injury again.
January 2019 Ankle injury.
April 2019 Ankle injury.
November 2020 Ankle injury (this is reported as unknown, but it happened after he limped off with after a challenge on his ankle vs. Iceland)
January 2021 Ankle injury.
April 2021 Ankle injury.

Spurs do rely on him, but he's gone through summers like 2019 with no international tournaments and not had a corrective surgery, so it seems unlikely to me that anything can be done to fix it. He's also got a habit of re-injuring it when they think it's fixed (ie being out for 40 days in Jan 2019 then coming back for 2 weeks and missing another 50 days)


I'm sure he'll keep playing through it, but it's not going to get better on its own, in fact these repetitive injuries usually just get worse and worse as a player approaches 30. I do not believe he's going to make it far past 30 at the top level, but....who cares? There will always be world class strikers around and if money is no object we'll get 2 or 3 years out of Kane and fuck him off when he can't produce any more.
 
I spoke to somebody today who knows one of the physio team at City (partner is related to him). He said he asked them if they'd heard anything about the Kane deal and their response was that "City are extremely hesitant to lay out the amount of money being asked for, with Kanes knee being a massive risk"
When he asked what was meant by that, the response was "its one of the worst kept secrets in football that his knee is absolutely fucked - the deal could be off as City don't want to risk it, too much money"

I did find it interesting that it was knee mentioned and not ankles.

I definitely hope all this is wrong, I took it with a pinch of salt but the guy I spoke with isn't a bull shitter. And I definitely hope to not gain ITK status by sharing this.

I do not believe he's going to make it past 31 at the top level, but i....who cares? There will always be world class strikers around and if money is no object we'll get 2 or 3 years out of Kane and fuck him off when he can't produce any more.

But surely if the fitness situation is as bad as you say, Levy would have jumped at the chance to sell for 100 mil+.
