The Mill was digging through some old comedy clips last night and stumbled across the classic Monty Python ‘fish slap’ sketch. You know the one, a safari-clad Michael Palin repeatedly running up to a similarly dressed John Cleese and giving him little taps with a small fish before Cleese pulls out a gigantic trout and clobbers Palin into a river.
This same dance appears to be happening in the Harry Kane transfer saga. Bayern Munich have spent the entire summer giving the Tottenham chairman, Daniel Levy, a series of little taps in a bid to prize the England striker away from north London. But Levy, like Cleese, is standing firm and ready to bat Bayern aside.
