It's unfair if he is making below market wages compared to his contribution and value. It's not about being close to starvation.

The money he isn't making is just going straight to ownership. It's not going to the homeless.

It's not going to ownership though is it. Levy's wages don't go up or down based on how much he's paying the players. Kane being paid what you perceive to he less than he should be simply means more funds are available to be spent by the club elsewhere.

As for market value, do you not feel it would be fair to say that PEA is being paid more than his market value? Or would you just determine market value as whoever is being paid the most?

Let's also not forget that Kane's wages are an amount that he agreed to and signed up for a set period, it's not an arbitrary sum decided by the mean stingey club which he had no say over.

Why should we simply open the gates and usher our best player on his merry way because Woolwich massively over pay their players? Or because trophies are now largely dominated by oil rich super clubs?
 
Don't blame him.

People talk about his no-shows in finals - he was injured before both of them.

Will be very sad to see him go.

A side effect of signing and playing dumb pricks Sissoko, Winks and Aurier.

Winning always feels a little hollow when you crank the difficulty level down to EASY though, doesn't it? The only trophy City can win that's meaningful is the CL, really. Everything else is failure if they don't win.

I've always thought that Kane considered 1 trophy at Spurs to be significantly more meaningful than several trophies at City or even United. He may leave, because he may feel like that trophy isn't going to happen now. But I think if you gave him the choice between winning the league once at Spurs or 4 times at City, I think he'd choose Spurs.

They really have devalued every fucking thing haven't they. I can't imagine any of their fans even giving a shit about winning on Sunday, I bet the buzz had worn off by the time they got out of the stadium.

Surely at some point the novelty will wear off for the owners?
 
Again, all speculation at this point, but if be were to go, and with the asking price so high, would we be able to get a player + cash?

The United/City idea seems most likely. Any cash+ player deal y'all like?
 
I'm sticking with Alasdair Gold on this one in that I don't think any club is stumping up the asking price this summer. Kane's comments are a big big warning sign to ENIC though. The sad part is that because of mismanagement we've been in limbo for the past two years rather than having a smart plan to rebuild.

Even if we make a good choice regarding the new manager, how good can we really be one year into his project? Good enough to convince Kane to stick around? I'm not too sure.

Most City players wouldn't accept the move.

Ake and G. Jesus might. If we could get both plus money that mightn't be the worst deal, Jesus might actually be more suited to a team that dominates possession a bit less than City do. Though you're better off getting paid for Kane and shopping elsewhere.

Zinchenko is a good player but LB is probably our most well stocked position, though he's a good midfielder also. Doubt Laporte would move.

United don't have anybody worth taking that would move to us imo, player swaps are a nightmare to negotiate I'd imagine and don't really happen much. Maybe Henderson + 100m.
 
He said he wants to win trophies. What else did he say? Did he come even close to suggesting he was looking to win those trophies somewhere else?

Isn’t it as likely he was throwing out a challenge to the board to get the correct manager on board and to support him?
