How the hell is Brennan Johnson a replacement for Kane, ridiculous if the club are considering him.
We absolutely do.
Not a replacemrnt but part of a couple of options.
you said that's what you want to happen. Even from a 'dream scenario' viewpoint having 4 actual strikers is overkill.
4 out and out strikers for 1 position? no.
Surely he can't be that much of a baby, but what you wrote did cross my mind also.

Extremely sobering scouting report on Orban.
You read that as Sobering?
I read it as massively encouraging for a kid that never played academy football. He’s been taught next to nothing.
Also, the knocks on him in that article are still things Haaland hasn’t solved and he’s the best #9 itw…
Hopefully that scout report can circulate and knock the price down a bit
They don't 'really, really like' paying the fee for him though.
Veliz isn’t going to play much part this season (at least in the first half) so I don’t count him,
Stand by my post so shut up. When my post is up for debate, I’ll let you know.
I’d rather £60m on the forward and £35m on an alternative to Eze.What about a replacement for PEH
Profile of a very hardworking and humble boy. Like Son.
This is equally important vs talent. Dislike party boys
I've addressed this before, but my logic in not including the money for Porro & Kulu in this window is:
Loaning a player to buy them at a future date is equivalent to buying a player now but not paying much up-front (small loan fee).
I'll use Woolwich buying Raya as an example- for FFP reasons they've 'loaned' him, but they will end up paying 30m for him, and they have a 30m goalkeeper now. So it makes more sense to count that 30m towards their net spend this season, rather than next summer.

Arguing that we should count the spend of 'loaned' players with buy clauses at the time of the loan is obviously not the the same as not counting Rice and Havertz for Woolwich's transfer window. Please try and think rationally...
Still on his TwitX profile.
£60m doesn’t get much for a forward. We are never likely to be a club that spends the money to get elite forwards
.Have to give Richy a chance really. Last year he was unlucky, hardly used , when he was it was out of position and in a very boring system where everybody bar Kane were poor. Put him in the box on a regular basis in a very attacking formation and see what he does.
Fond of Toney's ability and what he would bring, but less keen on a homegrown-exaggerated spend for a player coming off a ban and entering his late 20s. Potentially a couple of productive years before we sell him for a significant loss.
Brentford have already shown their cards with Raya. Pass.
Could get Vlahovic or David for that surely.
