I still think Madrid could afford him and he plays really well every time he plays against them. Think they might go for him as a long term replacement for Benzema this summer, maybe loan him back to sociedad

They could do; but they're broke and need reinforcements elsewhere. Getting Isak would also be an admission to fans that they can't get Haaland or Mbappe (Perez has promised one of those 2 to Real fans). Haaland has £70m release clause next year, Real may save up a bit this year so they can activate that next year.

No worries.

Do you watch much Italian football btw? Belotti is good but at his age perhaps not the long term replacement needed.
Heard many good things about Vlahovic.

No, mate, I don't watch much Italian football , apart from Torino.
Definitely Belotti wouldn't be a long term replacement. I think he would do reasonably well in the EPL and could be an option if we sign another striker.

I don't know about Vlahovic. He is one of the names that comes up most frequently at the moment. I have read a couple of weeks ago (don't remember where) that we made an approach with Fiorentina, but it could be total BS

Anyone is gonna be a downgrade, I don't mind getting Ings and another younger striker like Daka or Toney etc.

Toney is 25 and has spent most of his career at a sub championship level. His goalscoring record is very impressive but we can't get back into this. This is like the signings we used to make with Darren Bent and Huddlestone etc.
 
Shit I just realised Kane is one of our few hone grown players , so no chance we get rid of Winks and Kane, unless we sign a home grown striker ?

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.
