Another issue is that plenty of pundits and columnists are now repeating the mantra that he's getting paid less than Jamie Vardy - with every single one of them forgets is that Vardy spent the summer inviting other clubs to meet his £20m release clause, and Leicester's resulting panic is what caused them to bump Vardy's wages by an additional £70k per week.
Do I feel that Kane's wages should at least be on a par with the club's highest earners, i.e. Toby and Son on £80k per week? Yes I do, but here's the obvious point that's being missed: a club's wage bill should be decided by the club and not based on what players at other clubs are earning. For example, because Michael Keane has been called up to the England squad, should he automatically be paid the same wages as Gary Cahill or John Stones? That makes no sense.
