I'm not convinced there was any gentleman's agreement. It's an easy thing to claim when you don't have anything on paper and there is no way to categorically prove that there wasn't a verbal agreement. The moral question mark is posed and the player's club is shamed into caving.People cry about how agents are sleazy etc etc, but players need smart agents or their client can get stuck in a contract they dont want like kane is. In the end all parties are doing whats best for them. Levy tricked them with the gentlemans agreement. Theyve made their move and hes going on strike. Interesting to see how this will all end.

In this day and age, I find it hard to believe that any part of a contract would be left up to verbal agreement. If it's not on paper, it was never negotiated in the first place.
Gentleman's agreements happen all the time in football, at every level. Just because you find it hard to believe certainly doesn't mean they don't happen.
But no gentleman's agreement says any player could leave at any time without a market based bid being received.
So if Mancity don;t make a market based bid, there's nothiong to talk about
Usually I wouldnt buy it either. But its levy and others have had similar experiences with this before.I'm not convinced there was any gentleman's agreement.

LOL TrollHe was tricked, he does not deserve to pay the price for it.
He wont be getting paid for the time he doesnt come to work. So everything is okay?The bloke earns 200k+ a week, turn up to fucking work.
Yeah, nobody but those two know exactly what was said. Levy would say one thing and Kane another, no doubt. But if last season was seen as an opportunity for us to convince Kane his future should be with us, then it was nothing other than a massive failure.
I repeat NOBODY is going to say 'you can move at at anything other than a market price'
Kane has been in football long enough to know that.
If you own a house, or if not your dearest posession, please accept this £1 for it.If we want 150 million for him then that's pricing him out of a move. What benefit do we get by doing that? So we keep an unhappy player around. If we play him, questions will be asked continously about whether he's giving it his all. Also will the other players still want a player around that's the top earner at the club knowing he wants to be somewhere else? I think the answer to that is a big no. If we keep him but don't play him, then his market value significantly decreases by next summer.
Basically there's no good to come from keeping him now. Too much damage has already been done. Now Levy has to find the right balance between getting as much as we possibly can for him while also not pricing him out of a move.

This simply isn't true.......
.......And your only real basis for saying this is "what if he sulks though".
Think 100m is ok? .......Ask yourself this:
1 x Harry Kane or 2 x Ben Whites.
Fuck off with your kisses mateLOL Troll
We can't just use Ben White as some sort of stick for what Kane is or isn't worth. He's one signing. Woolwich clearly over-paid for him, which is the usual schtick for an English player.
I've not said we should take 100 million and run.
But I am saying is that no club is going to pay this 150 million that keeps getting bounded about.
