Okay, who would you want as back up striker to either Kane or Vlahovic?
Has to be HG frankly
Wait till the summer and go for Toney and Vlahovic after selling Kane.

That would be brilliant but let's get real... whoever is on the list behind Toney and vlahovic, that's the gems Dr Levil will go afterWait till the summer and go for Toney and Vlahovic after selling Kane.
The price difference between selling Kane in Jan or July may be big.
Simply because Pep only has a few more seasons left at City. I doubt they'll win CL unless they get a striker. So having Kane for KO stages this season has huge value for them.
Brentford could seriously rip us off for Toney.Wait till the summer and go for Toney and Vlahovic after selling Kane.
Brentford could seriously rip us off for Toney.
Vlahovic may be harder to get in the summer as many clubs may want to vulture a player with 1 year left on the contract. Same with Kessie, who may go on a free, but get massive sign on bonus from a big club.
Would love it if we secured both Vlahovic and Kessie this Jan. Long term future key. Kane will be gone soon anyway, may as well get it over and done with.
I think £130M is too much for Vlahovic & Toney.My concern would be Vlahovic taking time to work leaving us totally exposed up top. Brentford have every right to rip us off for Toney but if Kane goes for say £110m and our outlay is say £130m for Vlahovic and Tony, if Levy can’t stump up for long term improvement he can get fucked.
We won’t be signing anyone from the championship unfortunately with Paratici and Steve ItchingI think £130M is too much for Vlahovic & Toney.
Toney great in the air, but he hasn't been prolific so far for Brentford imo.
Of course Vlahovic as only recognised CF is a risk, perhaps by Jan there'll be a HG striker performing well in the Championship we can bring in too?
The Chilean and Stoke sensation Ben Brereton Diaz? 10 goals right now in 11 games and one assist. 22 years old. Full Chilean international.Of course Vlahovic as only recognised CF is a risk, perhaps by Jan there'll be a HG striker performing well in the Championship we can bring in too?

Sounds good, but he needs to be be a HG sadly.The Chilean and Stoke sensation Ben Brereton Diaz? 10 goals right now in 11 games and one assist. 22 years old. Full Chilean international.
Last year of his contract with Blackburn as well.
This sounds good, but HG is starting to become a serious issue if we sell Kane.If I'm them; I"m offering him a fat new deal and putting a fat release clause in his contract, relegation clauses the whole shebang.
Buy Kessie in Jan.... He'll go to PSG or someone else for free otherwise.
Nail the Vlahovic deal in Jan understanding that we won't get him til the summer (loan back or whatever) and shoot for a loan on someone for the second half of the season or maybe even buy a back-up if one presents itself.
Next summer =
Kessie + Sarr + PEH + Skipp (+ 1 of Gio/TN should either of them finally prove themselves.)
Vlahovic + Kane/Other(***) (+Son)
(*** "other" being posing the age back-up ST dilemma..... Vlah + Kane staying is ideal in that respect.)
This sounds good, but HG is starting to become a serious issue if we sell Kane.
What makes it even worse is that the other wasters in our squad, Alli and Winks, are both HG too.
Running into serious problems.
He was born and raised in Stoke and has played for Stoke, Nottingham Forest and Blackburn.
This thread should be re-named fan fiction solutions.No disrespect, but fan-fiction solutions about swap deals with clubs where there's little or no grounds to suspect one is no solution at all really.
That’s ideal, hopefully our scouts are watching him.He was born and raised in Stoke and has played for Stoke, Nottingham Forest and Blackburn.
He plays for Chile because his mom is from there and they randomly called him up for the Copa in the summer due to a small striker crisis for the Chilean team. He's as homegrown as you can get.
I can't claim to watch much Blackburn, but based on highlights they seem to be playing a good style of football. Brereton also played mainly as a left winger last season according to transfermarkt (7 goals that season). So he has benefited from Armstrong moving on since he is now playing centrally.That’s ideal, hopefully our scouts are watching him.
Adam Armstrong also scored bags of goals for them last season; do Blackburn just set up well for their CF, or are the recent CFs just great quality?
