I guess maybe he was considered too similar to Norwood but more expensive. Not really sure. The fact we ended up with Tedic suggests May wouldn't have gone amiss, although they are very different players. May or Watters, for example? A bit of a no-brainer.
If you're talking about Kane he played a couple of decent passes, rarely wasted the ball, but slowed them down quite a lot when they could have been more incisive. So standard Herbie Kane. Got dog's abuse from the stands, which considering how he carried himself in interviews isn't that surprising.
The usual Kane you come to expect of never looking like scoring, never looking like getting an assist and slowing down attacks by holding the ball up ready for a square ball. Got subbed off as Grant was sick of playing with 9 men.
