There's also a flip side to that which is that potential signings could be wooed by the promise of being the team's "star" player...Big talents (and even good managers) will never come here if Kane and Son were no longer here (unless we get lucky to sign an unknown talent from Croatia or MK Dons). If I were DKL, Saint-Maximin, Matheus Pereira, Neves, Rice, Grealish, or Aarons, etc, and received similar offers from top league teams next season, I’d certainly take into account which top players are my teammates. 200 mil and all that are fine but if that can only afford us 7-8 Lamelas, Sanchezes and Sissokos, no thank you.
Could see someone like Grealish being enticed by that
