He’ll be £30m + I reckon. Man U tried to get him in January and they’ll likely try again and therefore drive the price up.King’s contract apparently expires in less than 12 months. So would imagine that he would not be very expensive either.

Think we could do a lot worse than either Wilson or King as back-up CF.
We need a solid window, where the gaps are filled with the right players. We’re not getting anywhere near a league title for some time but if Mourinho can make us more solid and harder to beat, we can fight for a top four finish and maybe some silverwareIf £50m-£60m is our budget and with gaping areas that need focus, most notably at DM, RB & CB, Wilson for £10m is a no brainier surely.
Chuck £20m towards Höjbjerg, £15m towards Kim, £15m on RB, preferably Castagne or Aarons if the club has genuinely seen enough in him to invest in and that’s a sensible and sound window given the pandemic situation mixed with not qualifying for the Champions League.
I can tell think of many more proven goal scorers happy to play the squad game at £10m than Wilson so honestly what’s the hassle people that aren’t keen on him? Ship him in, it gives us depth, options and more balance,
Kane can do that thoughI’m not entirely sure he’s the type of striker we need. Don’t get me wrong, I think he’d do a job, but we need someone that can be a target man imo, someone we can bring on and allow us to hold up the ball and stop teams dominating us. We’ve got limited funds and I can’t see us buying two strikers.

We tried that in Llorente and Janssen but they struggled massively as that was all they could do. They were limited. We’re lucky that Kane can do that AND have such a creative aspect to his game. We aren’t gonna get a like for like replacement for him so I think we’ll be best getting someone who can work alongside Son and Alli rather than throwing them up frontI’m not entirely sure he’s the type of striker we need.

Why do we need a "target man"?
No brainer this if its true, would be a really decent signing.
You literally quoted a post where I explained why I think we need one.
Or someone who gave him 7 assists season before didn't repeat this next season...Wilson has had a really poor season according to several of my Bournemouth season ticket holding mates. Since he signed his newly improved contract he hasn't been the same player. Lack of goals despite numerous chances and hiding in games, not putting in a shift etc.
