Actually a simple sorry would have sufficed. But he hadn't mentioned that at all. He said he wouldn't jeopardise the relationship with us, no Harry, you had in fact taken us for a ride, again.
He just sank deeper with each day, with each move, with each action he takes until he admits his mistake and apologise. If not it just makes this saga all the more disappointing each time. ?
I don't hang too much on that because city want a number 9 apparently.Sorry if already posted- Jack G has been given City no10 shirt
Not looking good for HK
In fairness to him (not that he seems to deserve much of that) he has done rehab/warm weather training in Barbados before."I haven't refused to train - how could I train if I'm not even in the England!"
I've been mulling that one over; how many city players were in Englands euro squad plus Grealish who I'm sure was aware a bid was incoming.There were rumours posted on here that he’s been telling England team mates he was going to boycott traininif he didn’t get his move as well.
Don’t know if that’s true but very poor if it is.
Personally I’d still keep him as he’s one of the best centre forwards around and I’d like to see how he does under a half-decent coach (not a dinosaur) surrounded by hopefully some new signings to freshen things up.
I think it would be good for football for player power not to win for once and actually show players can’t just do what they want to get their own way.
But I would really really like it if we bought some top quality competition for him so we’re not so reliant on him and have a plan B up top (disappointed as really though Vinny could provide that but even though was Mourinho’s supposed top choice was a bit of a waste of time).
I get you, except there's been alot of noise coming out that Levy went back on a promise.,... hopefully the truth will come out soon.
Not difficult to believe but I see no reason to just assume this happened when there's nothing to suggest it has.
Edit: FFS, for some reason.
That's not what I was saying, no one is suggesting Harry wants to leave based on a broken promise by Levy, more like Harry wanted to leave last season, and Levy may have promised him he may leave if he gave Mourinho one more year to bring success, once Mourinho left Harry decides to go and Levy has none of it.I'm not sure what Levy could really have promised.
I think Kane clearly wants to achieve major honours and after the demise of Poch and the failure of Jose it's very possible he sees the chance to do that with us is unlikely, certainly not guaranteed.
So I can understand how we can blame Levy in regards to how he has run the club. But I see no reason to think Kane is leaving based on a promise by Levy being broken.
????The Kane statement:
We are guessing but given our history of selling our elite players for very high prices under Levy I find it very hard to believe that he'd agree to any fee for Kane on a gentlemen's agreement.That's not what I was saying, no one is suggesting Harry wants to leave based on a broken promise by Levy, more like Harry wanted to leave last season, and Levy may have promised him he may leave if he gave Mourinho one more year to bring success, once Mourinho left Harry decides to go and Levy has none of it.
The question is was a figure promised? If so and City won't meet it then Levy is in the right, but why would Harry be upset with us if City won't pay the promised fee that would allow him to go?
We are all guessing, but I find it hard to believe Harry is acting like a cock without some reason.
In my opinion it fits with what I suspect which is narrative from the club to help the fans stomach selling him. Love that he's put that out.In my opinion, this statement is intentionally ambiguous and will not be the last one he makes. He clearly feels that the City move may not transpire and wants to save a little bit of face in case he has to return with his tail between his legs, but he also doesn't want to commit towards staying or apologising on the off chance that he gets his move.
At the end of all this there will be a second, probably pre-written statement either apologising and committing to stay, or thanking the fans following his move. This statement says nothing and is a total waste of fucking time, a pathetic attempt to pacify a situation caused and made worse by himself.
I think it's highly unlikely Levy promised to sell him to city well below his market value.I get you, except there's been alot of noise coming out that Levy went back on a promise.,... hopefully the truth will come out soon.
For what it's worth, I don't want Kane to leave. And although his statement is either not believed or not accepted by the majority of people on here, it is the ONLY thing he can do to start repairing and accepting he is here for a longer term than he had actipated.
So I for one welcome today's statement.
It wasnt tripling his wages. Double basic.He tried his luck on the off chance of tripling his wages, but totally mis-read the room.
He’s now realised he’s not going anywhere, and it’s time to backpedal.
He’s not killed anyone, he hasn’t wiped his arse on a Spurs shirt in the centre circle, or set fire to photo of Bill Nicholson.
We don’t HAVE to sell him now, and we’d be absolute mugs to - he’s miles better than anything we could get for the money.
And it’s possible that the shame and embarrassment over this situation could be a huge motivator- what better way to make it all go away than score a shit load of goals.
