If you are Kane, you don't push and wait for the move all summer and then just decide yourself to declare you are staying, with 5 days to go. He would have talked to the club and known it is over, whatever the reasin behind that. Similarly,
if you are Levt , you don't brief the press on prices all summer, to then decide you are just going to keep the player. Not without making a big show of it first.
The way this has happened I am convinced it is us that pulled the plug on it. And Kane has accepted it. If it really was kane or bust, why fold with 5 days left, go bust on deadline day. Which make me think there is something else in some pipeline somewhere.
