The thing is, it's very rare in todays game, but some players put club loyalty before money. Kane strikes me as someone who might be happy with 200,000 a week for the thrill of scoring for his hometown team week in week out, and being an absolute God there, as opposed to going to City and being rotated with a couple of star strikers there, while earning 350,000 a week.Any move he made would come with a hefty payrise. Both club and agent would be well aware of that before even considering putting up an official bid. Kane is being underpaid by some margin relative to what he could be earning elsewhere, which is admirable in itself that he would stay where he is despite that.
A big difference between someone like Kane and 'martyrs' like De Gea or Pogba is that the latter were/are being compensated heavily for their teams' woes and lack of competitiveness at the very top end of the footballing totem. They were/are being paid a king's ransom to keep hold of their services whilst Kane is being underpaid whilst his club fails to deliver relative to his ability and what he himself could be aspiring to.
In modern parlance, there really aren't many players in a similar position to Kane as the vast majority who aren't in the highest competitive environment in direct line for CL's and league titles, are being consoled as top bracket earners, which Kane is nowhere near.
Whether you regard him as the best striker in the world or not, he certainly belongs in that bracket with the esteemed few that are in the conversation for top spot, and the pay disparity between him and the rest of said company, I suspect, would be eye-opening.
Yes Pogba and De Gea are whores for cash and put salary before everything, and should be shipped out of the club. Man Utd has never been that type of club to overpay spoiled divas unless its a very rare situation where we have the world's best player who deserves it. Rooney lost a big chuck of legendary status at the club by holding the club to ransom, and it was a disaster. We ended up with a burnt out overweight loaf on a 6 year monster contract. The same thing has happened with De Gea. Same with Alexis. There's no doubt something similar would probably happen with Pogba if we give him what he and his toxic agent want. Get rid and give Donny a chance
