In fairness to Kane, he's stuck between a rock and a hard place. He either risks his legacy and relationship with the Spurs fans by going on strike to engineer a move or stays put, thereby ensuring that Levy continues to have him by the short and curlies and the best England striker of our generation finishes his career completely potless. If Kane wishes to avoid the latter, he'll need to grow a pair pretty sharpish.Mahrez, Laporté, Bernardo, Mendy, Dias etc?
The difference being these players only wanted City & a deal was struck.
If you recall, Leicester wanted £95m for Mahrez as part of their gentlemen's agreement to allow him to leave for a CL club.
City set our valuation at £60m which the Foxes rejected. Mahrez went nuts! He went on strike & made a vow never to pull on a Leicester shirt again!
After the window closed a truce was called between player & club & a more realistic £72m valuation was placed on his head.
The following summer we agreed a £62.5m plus £2.5m in achievable add-ons for Mahrez.
There's fuck all we can do if a club wants to take the piss over transfer valuations, but Mahrez proved what can be achieved if a player says "Only this club for a reasonable fee, or I don't play!".
Harry Kane take note!
