Bit of a mental thing to say.I dont know about that - there are at least 2 threads in a Utd forum discussing it hotly right now. I dont think Pogba not turning up for training would even be noticed by other clubs.

I could easily see Pogba doing the same in Kanes situation though. For Pogba its all about the money. He knows in a years time a big paycheck is waiting for him and his agent.Imagine the fury if Pogba did this. Nobody other than Spurs fans will care because Kane is white & English.
City could have already been talking to his agent.I haven;t heard of city tabling any offer for kane, so this still seems odd.
Agreed, but it’s needed with Levy, I’m sure Kane won’t be happy about doing this.Bale did the same thing to get out.
So did Modric, it seems its a thing to force levy's hand, because hes such a BS merchant.
However, in both those cases, there was a giant offer and spurs were simply refusing to sell.

Kane always seems to value his good guy image too, and this makes him look a bit of a dick.
Yeah this.Imagine the fury if Pogba did this. Nobody other than Spurs fans will care because Kane is white & English.
Exactly, it would all have to do with Pogba’s race and nationality and nothing to do with the fact that he’s been a disrespectful twat towards the club since day oneImagine the fury if Pogba did this. Nobody other than Spurs fans will care because Kane is white & English.
The Athletic did a piece about how players push for transfers and that transfer requests are a joke.Kane had other options here. He could hand in a request or sit down with a journo like he did with Neville to tell the public how Levy has gone back on his word.
Not showing up for training is cowards behaviour and reflects really poorly on him.
I just woke up and my vision is a little blurry. For a moment I thought this thread was about something else.
They can stop paying to Kane if he doesn't turn up, you know? Then its all about legal battles where Kane doesn't look too good.I don't side with neither of them, especially considering it's Spurs.
If this would've been a "normal" job the narrative would be "Hmmm, the employer is not letting the employee follow his dreams and move up in his career, especially after he delivered here".
As this is football, everyone will jump on the "Kane is so disrespectful" bandwagon.
To be completely honest, I don't give a single feck on how Kane or Spurs/Pogba or ManUnited behave during such a situation. Each party has its own interest and is entitled to following it down to the wire. We should also consider that we know feck all about what happens behind doors.
If people think Spurs are caging him or he's disrespectful for not going to training that's their own issue, mostly created by the media and the belief that a job is some sort of obligation these days.
People can't force Spurs to sell and Spurs can't force Harry to go to work, it's as simple as that. They will finally find middle ground as both are not happy with the situation and the drama will end. I saw some people around here taking it personally, being quite affected, especially considering the similar Pogba situation.
I love United but I didn't bat an eyelid with Becks or Ronaldo left and so should the Spurs fans, or any fans in general. It's a job, people will come and go like in any other job.
The club will survive and, if managed properly, can even flourish afterwards.
and if it was Pogba???If he has a gentelsmans agreement he can go for x amount, and the club refuse when they get the offer i can understand it from Kane.
.
Amen. Pogba is a true professionalTweet

I reckon there may be some kind of mix up in that he may have been given more recovery time but the message has been lost. we'll seeIt'll probably be for some quarantine regulation or some rest-related conversation missed. Kane sees himself as a role-model figure too much to pull something like this I feel.
Occasionally there are things that come out eg the time he got petulant about a goal and then started complaining when the FA made a joke about it.. does suggest he might have a knut side that thinks he’s above everyone else.Kane always seems to value his good guy image too, and this makes him look a bit of a dick.
Think we are planning for Haaland next summer.Hmm, hopefully City sign Grealish and we can tempt Levy with a last minute £60m + Martial offer on deadline day.
Pretty much. And if the club happens to not act gentlemanly, do what is best for you.The thing about a gentleman's agreement is that they only work if they're made by gentlemen.
As Spurs themselves are proving so well: one CL final by itself doesn't mean a lot for the future. As far as I know his previous contract ran until 2021, so it would be entirely reasonable for him to demand an agreement that would allow him to leave after that (if Spurs don't develop as well as they had hoped) and it would be entirely reasonable for Spurs to accept such an agreement, because this way they get to collect a fee in 2021, instead of getting low balled in 2020 or losing him for free in 2021, if they had stuck with the old contract.Nothing at all suggests that this was agreed upon. It would be an incredibly weird move from the 2018 Spurs, who just reached CL final and built a new stadium, to prolong their biggest star with an option of him leaving at any point (and to their PL "rivals" as well).
Also, those "gentlemen's agreements" are worth nothing, he's not a young guy or a foreign footballer who came in not knowing the inner workings of contract negotiations in England (like Suarez, although I have no sympathy for him as well). If he needed a clause, he should've included it in the contract.
Teams will be pretty template I guess.If he goes to city he’s an essential FPL asset
Yes, of course I know. It was just a comparison of the two sides of the coin. Don't think it will reach the legal battle point, as contracts these days are well covered for such situations.They can stop paying to Kane if he doesn't turn up, you know? Then its all about legal battles where Kane doesn't look too good.
It's a bit more complicated than that. What you call in paper is only valuable if it's an addendum to the contract otherwise from the POV of the league or any federation, the agreement isn't enforcible within Football. You can go to a civil court and are likely to get compensation but you are not going to get the transfer that you wanted/want.Jokes aside though, when your CEO is Daniel fecking Levy, get whatever agreement you want down in paper, written. If you take his verbal world, you're sure to get fecked. I'm actually going to enjoy the shitstorm though, good on Kane to shit all over Levy, Spurs and his good boy image. Needless to say, hope Levy wins in the end. Kane at City and other clubs might as well give up the league.
It's nothing new for Spurs. Modric claimed Levy reneged on a similar agreement whilst Bale, Berbatov and Modric had to take strike action to get a move.As Spurs themselves are proving so well: one CL final by itself doesn't mean a lot for the future. As far as I know his previous contract ran until 2021, so it would be entirely reasonable for him to demand an agreement that would allow him to leave after that (if Spurs don't develop as well as they had hoped) and it would be entirely reasonable for Spurs to accept such an agreement, because this way they get to collect a fee in 2021, instead of getting low balled in 2020 or losing him for free in 2021, if they had stuck with the old contract.
I have no idea whether such an agreement was in place, but I find it a bit weird to basically say it's the player's fault if the club go back on their promises, if we just shrug that off as the game being the game, then the same applies to players forcing a move.
Not turning up to work for an employer that pays you a six figure salary every week, is fairly poor behaviour.Tweet

I doubt Spurs would sell for less than £150m - he's still got three years on his deal and Levy won't want him moving to another English club.Why a player of Kane's quality playing for a club like Spurs would sign a 6-year contract in his prime is beyond me.
Also, if Grealish is worth 100m how much will Kane go for? Surely at least the same amount?
Financial security, it's particularly true for players with injury issues and played a large amount of time with a wage that was relatively low.Why a player of Kane's quality playing for a club like Spurs would sign a 6-year contract in his prime is beyond me.

Has Souness castigated Pogba for his role in this yet?

While that all makes sense, a 6 year deal with Daniel feckin Levy of all chairman for a player of Kane's calibre is sheer stupidity. By all means sign a 3 year big bumper deal, but Harry only has himself to blame for being stuck in this spuds purgatory.Financial security, it's particularly true for players with injury issues and played a large amount of time with a wage that was relatively low.
Kane would have been financially secure for the rest of his life on a 4-year contract as well.Financial security, it's particularly true for players with injury issues and played a large amount of time with a wage that was relatively low.
