If we were to sell Kane I'd replace him with Dominic Calvert-Lewin.
Obviously I want to see Kane stay and we continue to rebuild around him, but it's not the end of the world if we get our replacements right (I know, big ask).
How much are we saying we'd get for Kane? £120m? £150m?
I reckon we could get DCL in for £80m. Then perhaps Grealish in for £70m.
Spend the regular transfer funds on Sabitzer and Skriniar.
We'd be going into the 21/22 season with a first XI of:
--------------------Lloris
Tanganga---Sanchez---Skriniar---Reggie
---------------PEH---NDombele
---------Grealish---Moura---Son
---------------------DCL
And a second XI of:
----------------Hart
Aurier---Toby---Rodon---Davies
------Skipp---GLC---Sabitzer
-------Bale---Vini---Bergwijn
With extras comprising of Lamela, Divine, Scarlett, Sessegnon.
Possibly selling or keeping Winks, Sissoko, Dier, Alli, Doherty.
That's still a really good squad tbh, so it's not the end of the world.
PS You know, there might be a better way to do it; sell Son to fund DCL and also sign a left winger. Then we'd have a ready-made replacement for Kane at the club to give us a better platform when negotiating the sale of Kane in the summer of '22.
time to lay off that giant pack of cigars that you’re clearly smoking.
selling Kane for £120m and replacing him with Dominic Calvert Lewin for £80m? God lord im not sure which part of that sentence is worse. DCL had a purple patch at the beginning of the season but has since returned to his mean average of scoring approx.. 1 in 4. Don’t let the fact that he’s scored against us on the both occasions we’ve played them this season fool you into thinking that DCL can get anywhere near the levels of Kane should we have to replace him.
