We need a significant lift this season to guarantee top 4. If Kane is indeed out until March; a striker will be a priority in this window.
For me, a deal for Bale season should be done. Get him in to save this season and carry us through the next whilst our younger talent gets up to speed (Sess, Clarke, Parrott).
His injury record is not actually any worse than Kane's; its just played up a lot in the media.
40m fee
20m wages over 1.5 seasons (approx 300k per week)
Sell him on to China or USA for 30-40m summer 2021 and he works out not much more than Llorente cost us - and that's not taking into account the commercial revenue he would bring - I'm pretty sure those stadium sponsors would like him here.
