Messi lets Bartomeu know he’s activating a clause in his contract, doesn’t tell the media about it, doesn’t negotiate with clubs: it’s “a circus” and he’s all about money.
Haaland never talks about transfers, all that happens is Raiola (the world’s worst person, of course) and Alfie are caught by a paparazzi in Barcelona in a set-up by Laporta, Raiola never objectively says in interviews that Haaland is looking for a transfer this summer: he’s “whoring himself around Europe” and “Raiola wants a bidding war”.
Kane gives in an interview HIMSELF on tv saying he wants out despite no release clause because I don’t win anything in my club, my price is X, the chairman has to let me go because I’ve been good to the club: “it’s obvious this transfer will happen”, “he will be great here”, “oh our great English captain!” etc.
The double standard is beyond the pale. Kane has been by far the most unprofessional. His club is still fighting for a place in European competitions next season. He was only thinking about himself.
Is it because he’s English?
For a fanbase so worried about the character of the players, getting behind one who acts like a dirty thug on the pitch and like a selfish footballer off the pitch, makes no sense.
It’s a no from me.
