Kane wants to leave

Yeah, he probably wouldn't get enough lift to flying kick someone in the crowd and then cry about it for decades.
I doubt he'd match Cantona's 70 Premier League goals, either. Nearly as many as Brian Deane and Chris Armstrong.

 

they could sweeten it by sending us Agueroooooooo.
I know he's on a free, but they do have influence.

 

He’s Barca bound isn’t he. Basically done and will be announced after the CL final

 

The perfect < Spurcat > storm (hairdo + a GK to boot) .

 

All that's missing is a pair of silver boots for the hat trick

 

Even managed this atrocity when playing for today's opponents. A finish so bad that the man that hit it turned away in disgust, yet it still went in.

 

Serious questions...
1. Should DL just ask Kane to name his price (£££/Role/New players) and 2. if he did, would it change Kanes mind?
Personally I think the answer to 1. is no because the answer to 2. is also no.

 

The obvious response, if there is anything to this, is how we fund the rebuild

If I put my Football Manager hat on, the pragmatic way to look at the squad is like this

Big Ticket Items
Sanchez
One of Ndombele or Lo Celso
Dier

Reasonable Fees
Lamela
Aurier
Sissoko
Foyth
Alderweireld

A Little Bit On Top
Gazzaniga
Carter Vickers
Any U23 who we let go (i.e. Marsh, Sterling, Roles etc)

The thing is we can't sell all of them, for example that would leave us with Tanganga and Rodon as our only CBs next season if we did, so we need to make sure who can be molded into the nucleus of the rebuild and who gets to stay on for another season for continuity as much as anything else

Personally I'd let Sanchez and Ndombele go and use that money to net Andersen and Sabitzer, while the fees from Lamela and Foyth would be put towards a commanding DM, at which point we make a judgment call on Dier or Alderweireld making way so we sign another CB

And then I get greedy and remember Aouar is available for £30m and try to shove Aurier and Sissoko out the door to free up funds and squad space

And then say "Oh ****, I forgot to sign a RB!"

 

Does anyone genuinely believe that Levy wouldn't just renege on any such deal and send Hitchen out to buy a whole load more 'bargain' crap players and make any financial deal dependent upon winning back to back trebles?

Kane's had enough. I don't blame him.

 

Sounds like they tapped him up when we were near the top of the table, if any of the reports about City bidding in the last window are true.

 

Ah, but we have to have yet another round of Levy Badman, with a chaser of Hitchen Boooo!

 

Everyone taps players up...including us.

If we were any good, he'd stay but we're not and he wants out.

I don't blame Kane or City.

 

Whatever we did or do is irrelevant if City can tap players up during the season and turn their heads.
We can't match their wage offers or get anywhere close and we can't match what they do on the pitch as a consequence of that.
They ****ed us before by doing it to Walker and they've done it again with Kane.
We should simply refuse to deal with them and issue a public statement to that effect.

 

What takes it into absolute pisstake territory is we initially tried to negotiate with them to have Jadon Sancho included in the deal for Walker

Their response? To cling onto a player they weren't playing (and, indeed, never played) and say we couldn't have him because he was theirs

The combination of tapping up players and stockpiling talent for the sole purpose of keeping them out of potential rivals' hands is just obnoxious

 

And being run by dictators. That's not great, either.

 

I'm sure Daniel will do just that........

 

I mean Leicester are run by dictators and don't pull that

They just have fans who haven't figured out that acting like the world owes them something undermines their faux underdog image just a tad...

 

PLSugga Daddy FCs : f*** off. Yours, ENIC.

 

Alternatively "How about your chairman's offshore company pays for our naming rights instead?"

 

Maybe another reason Kane wants to go (and perhaps this played on Bale's mind too) was being called a cheat and diver. Forget the fact that we don't seem to get any penalties from this alleged behaviour. Yet compare that to Cheating Vardy today, and the commentary I listened to mentioned him being "cute" in how he got the penalty. At no point did either stream (I lost the first one) give any suggestion that Vardy might be a cheating bastard. Well, at least mentioned the word "dive" which isn't as strong as I'd go, because I'd flat out say cheat. I think the second Vardy cheat was their 12th penalty of the season. How many of the others were similarly "earned"?
