Dunny’s Hairdryer

CHRISTIAN PURSLOW is unlikely to give a five-minute video explanation for every major decision taken by the Aston Villa board.

But the Villa chief’s detailed account of how Jack Grealish came to move to Manchester City was superb. It was what loyal supporters deserved.

Maybe Harry Kane should take note.

Front it up, Harry. In Friday’s public statement you said, “I won’t go into the specifics of the situation”. But why not?

Tell Tottenham supporters why you want to leave and about your ‘gentleman’s agreement’ with Daniel Levy, tell them Manchester City is a club too good and too rich to turn down.

Pep Guardiola has put his cards on the table. He wants to buy Kane – if Spurs will sell.

And we know Kane wants to move. It would be nice for fans to hear the player’s reasoning.

Front it up, Harry – because playing the sort of games agents love to play is not a good look.

EVERY day something happens that puts the

importance of football into

some perspective and

the death of Michael Ballack’s 18-year-old

son Emilio – in a tragic holiday

accident in Portugal –

was one of those things. Prayers are

with the Ballack family.

IT could well be a compelling battle for the Premier League title. But, sadly, nothing in the transfer window so far has convinced me the top four will not be the same top four as last season.

Manchester City, Manchester United, Liverpool and Chelsea will get their own four-team Super League after all.
