If we replace Kane with Watkins or Toney you might as well throw in the towel now. I've seen some dogshit recruitment over the years but that would take the biscuitWe might end up bidding for Watkins or Toney if Kane goes. Problem is Villa will want 70-80 mill and Brentford will most likely seek over 50 mill. World's gone bonkers.

80m for Watkins, Jesus wept.If we replace Kane with Watkins or Toney you might as well throw in the towel now. I've seen some dogshit recruitment over the years but that would take the biscuit
And in a post covid world, we are a money making machine.The reason a lot of players potentially available now might not be in a year is the effect of Covid. It appears most of Europe are struggling including Inter, Juve, Milan, Barcelona, Real Madrid, Bayern... Give it a year of crowds back in the grounds and those teams will be back at the table outgunning us.
Well obviously we don't want him. But the question is why. He was excellent last season. We definitely need another CB and offload Sanchez and/or dier
Leicester were looking at Takehiro Tomiyasu acouple of days ago before we signed Vestergaard and because you are in for him I thought I would come and read your views on himWhy are you here? Genuine question. What motivates you to join the forum of another club?
Ps don't be a cunt
Agree - ok players but not at 50M and not to replace Kane (as a back up fine)If we replace Kane with Watkins or Toney you might as well throw in the towel now. I've seen some dogshit recruitment over the years but that would take the biscuit
im quoting this for the 31st of aug and coming back to spite you if it happens haha

I remember Sir Les fondly.
The scum have done less business than us!City - Grealish
Chelsea - Lukaku
United- Varane, Sancho
Leicester - 3 of 4?
Villa doing good business
Even the scum have brought a few in in trying for others
Our business so far barely keeps us at the level we were.
I don't believe we have improved at all in fact.
They signed him for 40 mill and that was based on his championship goals with no PL experience so after a couple of years in the PL they will now demand much more.
This kills me. It never works out like that though … through whatever reason he always falls into too many minutes of important premier league minutes
there is no reason to have a player that bad In the squad …. Top 4 clubs have far better options for lesser fixtures
makes the kane fee absurd then, if watkins is 80 kane is 250They signed him for 40 mill and that was based on his championship goals with no PL experience so after a couple of years in the PL they will now demand much more.
We cannot compare ourselves to others. We have a lot of rebuilding to do.The scum have done less business than us!
City chelsea bought 1 player both for 100 mil.
Liverpool 1 player.
Villa have bought a lot of players in my opinion only ings was decent business. Only proven player.
I will give you leicester have done good business in fairness they always do
I’m sure Daniel isn’t far off that figure, he’s been quite confident that Kane isn’t for sale and it’ll take an eye watering sum to change his mind. Like us he’s seen what Neymar went for, without the numbers to back it up, our player has to be worth at least that
They could go down this season.Agree 100%, would love him.
I know, Soton are forever selling off their star players, but Ings and Ward-Prowse in the same window, now that there a pretty established PL side has got to feel like a real kick in the balls :bergwijnconfused:
What I'm trying to say is we shouldn't be held up on a number if we're missing out on any opportunities.And in a post covid world, we are a money making machine.
Its also not as if Kane will go for free next summer, is it? We'll still get a major windfall from him and be able to invest heavily.
Yes, right now is something of an opportune time, but like much of your argument here its quite myopic.
Not to say its "wrong" or the logic isnt sound, it is, but its not the only valid line of thought...
