Whilst City opened the bidding with a pathetic £75m + £25m in add ons, I do think a deal could have been done. With the likes of Laporte, Bernardo Silva, Jesus being offered up as potential swaps we shit in the bed. I’d have taken those 3 without a penny for Kane , then signed Ings for the £20m or so that Villa got him for. We would have been a considerably better side now.
At the time I said I would sell Kane for £120m as I didn’t want a unhappy player at the club, I feared an injury or a lack of effort would harm us this season, but I didn’t think it would be this bad.
Levy should have said you have 2 weeks to get a deal done, our price is £120m (or x amount plus players) take it or leave it so it didn’t drag on all summer.
