Well at least we know there isn't an agreement in place already for Kane to depart. Kane doing this, just create a tiny bit more leverage on his side. But can't see him holding firm. Time for the club to hold steady, and test his bluff.
I just think those stats are tempered with the fact he plays for City who create a lot of chances and those bench appearances would be against a knackered or deflated defence. Plus he wouldn’t really hold the ball up. Maybe if he was going to be our right sided equivalent of Son and both could then be the backup to our new number 9 it could be more palatable, but the position we are in I would hope this is something we were planning rather than trying to fit a player in to grease the wheels of Kane’s move.
The inevitable last minute sale by levy incoming without a suitable replacement. However one of our own dane scarlet will be the poster boy to gloss over the huge cracks.
Pay the money Levy wants and it's simple really isn't it? I know the fee is huge but it's that simple. He has 3 years left on his contract, if they honestly think all this gonad*s is going to bring it down to £100m then they're fudging daft.
And I say £100m because that's seems to be the fee City are willing to go to it seems, Kane mentioned £100m in the Neville interview (a huge red flag I ignored as ignorance is bliss...), Pep moaning that we should be "happy" to accept £100m for him. Clown Charlie getting wind from Levy that £160m might do it and leaking that out to see if City will budge and getting their "nope" statement.
I do not want Gabriel Jesus, Foden or Sterling. Give me Bernardo Silva. I might even consider Mahrez but those 3 - no thanks.
City are never getting rid of Foden and anyone who doesn’t want him really need to give their head a wobble.Foden I’d take, still only 21 too! But if City were to get rid they’d be better off selling him and putting the cash towards Kane.

Foden is the best young player in the league by a mile and will only get better. If you'd take Mahrez over him...I do not want Gabriel Jesus, Foden or Sterling. Give me Bernardo Silva. I might even consider Mahrez but those 3 - no thanks.
It's been rumoured that he wouldn't turn up for training but I really didn't believe it would be the case. Hopefully he's just trying to make a point today and he'll be in tomorrow. I'll hold off on my disappointment in him until then.
One upside is that this has happened with 4 weeks of the window left.
Presumably we'll accelerate planning on what we would do to replace him now in case City do indeed stump the price up
Still dont see them finding £150m
A strict deadline has to be set now, we simply CAN NOT repeat the Berba/Keane debacle.
