Trying to do like for like will be a massive step down so we should change the approach.
In Son and Bergjwin we already have two "wingers" who are able to float across the front line. I think any striker we sign needs to be of this mould. Ings fits the bill of a striker who can do a job on the wing.
Properly coach movement and get plenty of rotation in there along with an aggressive press.
I don't think we should go for a classic number 9 unless it's a plan B a la Llorente/Wood/Big Vin.
So either we sign two wing/forwards e.g. Ings and Daka types or we go Ings plus Wood as a plan B.
Personally I think we have to be looking to sign two first teamers so I would go the first route and forget the plan B for now. We are not yet ready to rely on Bergjwin to start and Dele should be sold or used as rotation next season but they can be the back ups for now alongside Lucas and Bale.
I'm not too enthused on Bale but it could be worth keeping him around for one more season while we transition away from Kane and use him to put the shit teams to the sword but go for a high energy front line against the best teams. He's still good for 15 goals a season.
Lloris
New RB - Toby - New CB - Reguilon
Skipp
Lo Celso -- New CM
Daka -- Ings -- Son
I think we need 3 new first team signings if Kane was to stay and 5 if he goes.
We really need to push the boat out and get a top quality RB and CB. A decent defence could transform us.
A new creative CM will be needed if we lose Kane's creativity. Ndombele is the enigma and doesn't seem to work with PEH and Lo Celso in a 3. I'm getting less confident by the day that he will deliver for us.
Skipp, Lo Celso and PEH isn't very creative but looks energetic and balanced and could make us more solid against the better sides.
If we get a decent manager in and are ruthless with our business this summer the picture could look a lot rosier come August. Football moves fast.
