Not surprised. The guy has Arsenal DNA.
Then joins Arsenal just to really rub it into Totteham's face.Best outcome is he stays but creates a mess and burn's his bridges.
Kane needs a new haircut to reflect his change in mentality imo. Maybe try skinhead? Start wearing stone island outside football, etc.
Was trying to think but I can't recall without fact checking.Who’s actually done this before? Pretty mad thing to do imo.
Only one I can think of is Suarez when he wanted to come to us and considering he was a racist and biter at the time, it didn’t really hurt his reputation
Kane is trading off that “nice guy England captain” bollocks for this. If most players did this the press would be on them.

Yeah he was unforgiveable imo. What Wenger did for him and the way he behaved to force that move was pretty despicable. One of the few I can never really forgive. I can maybe understand but even Van Persie and Nasri never stooped to those levels.

He got quite a bit of stick as well, for the entire saga really.Sterling did it at Liverpool in 2015 but his excuse was that he had the runs:

I read one indepth article on from the Athletic on players angling for an exit and they actually predicted he would do this. They noted they don't outright put in transfer requests anymore as it is "embarrassing", but do things such as this instead.
Failing to report for training, or refusing to play in matches, is a fairly standard approach for a footballer to take when trying to engineer a way out of a club. Others will turn up for work but invent injuries — back trouble, which is difficult to pick up on a scan, is a favourite.
Some will be a much bigger pain in the backside. One agent tells a story about a Tottenham Hotspur player going out to training and kicking balls everywhere. Then there is the midfielder who gave his club’s technical director a mouthful of abuse that, realistically, few people would get away with in any other industry.
Whatever the exit strategy, agents will be constantly in their client’s ear encouraging them to be difficult, and so will the club that is trying to sign the player.
