Harry Kane

Where have all the "we won't leave him hanging" posts gone? All I see is Kane and Levy taking flak. All transfers involve the buyer discretely finding out if the player will move, once they have his indication they go and find out if the club will sell. This is established practice, Kane did his bit, twice, City let him down. A club the size of City should have known what spurs would take before getting the player to start letting off grenades. They acted either amateurish or naive, if Spurs price was too much the player should have been informed in May. We where told it was "close" less than 2 weeks ago when in reality it was never close. Kane nor his agent have ever been involved I a transfer, the onus was on City to to indicate how well or otherwise things where developing. They either completely misunderstood the situation or just plain had no clue.

I've seen numerous times that players won't sign for Spurs because Levy won't let them go, I'd argue City have come out of this worse. Would the agent of Declan Rice or Kalvin Phillips have their player behave the way Kane did in the knowledge City might just abandon them? You never hear of Liverpool, Chelsea or Utd behaving in such a way, they seem to know if a player is actually attainable before getting involved. City done this Koulibaly last year too. Its poor behaviour.

Quick tip fella. Wumming/trolling the forum is against the forum rules. You would do well to remember that in the (I'm guessing) short time you'll be hanging around here.

He’s not bad you’re right but he didn’t want to come, he had plenty of options to force the move and didn’t. That shows a lack of desire for me and I’ve said all along that I don't think he’d cope with the price tag on his head. Grealish shrugs it off, in fact he thrives on the attention, Kane would of folded I’m sure.
Then there’s Ronaldo… Someone who actually wants to join us to win stuff despite almost winning it all already, a player who if reports are true, is taking a 50% pay cut to make it happen!

Last seen over 4 years ago, I don’t think he’s coming back whoever he was.

Yeah, I suspect they were told by the higher ups to stop it, but it sure was a magical summer getting those nuggets. Ahh, the good ol days.

Sad we won't be getting Kane, but it was expected. Were never gonna pay what Levy wanted.
 
I'm starting to get the feeling that the senior management were never keen on signing him and that this was being driven almost entirely by Pep. They probably did the minimum to keep Pep content, but knew that there was no way we would close the valuation gap with Levy. Pep is only thinking about this season and next, whilst Khaldoon, Berrada, Ferran and Txiki need to think longer term. Kane is 28, so we should have got two decent seasons out of him but there are no guarantees after that. Pep won't care because he will likely be off, but we could be left with a guy on enormous wages in rapid decline and impossible to get off our books. Ronaldo is a much better fit. He offers everything that we need for a fraction of the cost and he'd be gone after two seasons.
