MCFC Supporter here in peace.

Stating the obvious: we are hoping for different outcomes in this transfer saga and our perspectives from our differing vantage points will cause us to see this series of events (and non-events) in very contrasting ways.

But I have my own theory of how this has played out (and still is) and wonder if you might grant that it is at least possible or even plausible at this point?

So in March, MCFC announce that their time with Aguero will be coming to an end when his contract wound down this summer. Many people had presumed that this would be the case, but it seemed a bizarre and risky thing to go trumpeting to the football world.
Then word gets out through Aguero, the Chairman and others that City would be replacing him in the summer. Surely a club as ruthlessly efficient in business and transfers wouldn't telegraph a weakness like that to clubs that they'd be seeking to purchase from?
Also, this would be the sort of very large value transfer that would have a lot of moving parts and loose ends to sew up. Doesn't seem the sort of thing to just get thrown together late in the window before the deadline.
Then amongst all of the speculation and chatter, City and Kane never squash the rumors.
Then City loan out Delap and sell Nmecha.
Think whatever you will of City, but they aren't complete fools who'd do that without thinking that they have a deal made.

I think that the deal was made. Pre-Aguero announcement. They knew that they had a player who'd be receptive. City always approach the player first. They knew what the number was going to be to purchase him too and they were okay with it. Kane knew too and the extended-holidays were always part of the plan as soon as the schedule was released. THFC won't be fining him. His sitting out was always going to happen and it allows all parties to not have an acrimonious day on the 15th.

Perhaps I'm wrong and your owner issues a flat rejection statement. Perhaps Kane apologizes, comes grovelling back kissing the badge all the way.

We'll know for sure soon.

He would get slaughtered, and you'd have clueless pricks at Sky like Stelling and Neville calling Spurs fans reprehensible for turning on "a club legend" when he just wanted to win trophies.

Totally forgetting the fact he skipped training and acted like a spoiled brat. So much hypocrisy in the game, if this was a United or Liverpool player effectively on strike Neville and Carragher would be going nuts.

You won't get much of a welcome or a sensible debate here, whether you're a Tottenham fan or fan of another club. There's a lot of simpletons who believe we're signing Haaland and Martinez soon. In other words, kids that play Football Manager and FIFA and have no idea about where we are at right now as a club in the real world.

Also quite a lot of ordinary fans a bit peeved at the recent behaviour of a 'club legend'...

It isn't that he wants to leave in itself that's the issue for many, I think (though that is a shame). It's the way Kane is going about it - destructive and also arrogant.

I completely get that. People seem to quote me a lot like I've said what Kane has done is absolutely fine and nobody has a right to feel betrayed, when I've said nothing like the sort.
