If we need money, which we do, I would cash in on Son. And keep Kane at all costs
Let's start our own club.
Your blaming this seasons failings on 2 players that barely featured?
How about Lo Celso who seems to be about as skillful as a brick?
How about Ndombele who can't be bothered to move off the ball?
How about Son who despite being in awful form continues to get picked and play 90 minutes?
Our failing lie in 2 poor signings in an attempt to replace Eriksen.

Good start
Sell Hojberg, Reguilon, Sissoko, Winks and Aurier to fund this along with Schuurs and Gravenberch.

The hatred for these two not only is quite amazing, but also has made a myth about Hojberg.
Why would you want to sell Hojbjerg or Reguilon thats crazy?!
If anything sell, Gazzaniga, Aurier, Doherty, Foyth, Sanchez, Sissoko, Winks, Dele & looks like Lamela will leave too

Because they are not as good as people dream they are and can be easily improved on.
Watch Ryan Gravenberch and tell me you'd rather had the plodder than him.
No but to sell them after one season won't happen, Hojbjerg has been great but looks warn down, Reguilon was great before his injury
If anything get rid of Ndombele if your suggesting ridiculous transfers, he has had 2 seasons here and goes missing

Ndombele has at least a bit of unpredictability about him, but I wouldn't be overly worried if he goes.
Hojberg apparently "Wins the ball back" and Reguilon apparently "Is great going forward"
Both are only popular, not because they are great footballers but because they replaced deeply unpopular players. Both would be extremely easy to replace.
Out of the two I too would pick to sell Son.
I want to keep them both but put a gun to my head and that is my choice.
Kane is our best player, so I'd prefer to keep him than Son.
But Son leaving would probably want Kane to leave even more. Son's strengths, his pace and clinical finishing, complements Kane very well, and gives Kane the chance to drop back and ping in through balls.
There are times when you do something to restore my faith in humanity. I only keep quiet about these two because people can't handle the truth. I can't bear either of them.
It never ceases to amaze me how people assess players through the lens of scorelines/results, or a moment of quality in a sea of shite. Even when we were winning games, I saw a fat midfielder who was scared of the ball, and a LWB with nothing in his hard drive.
I remember Reg's debut when he sprinted back to catch up and tackle Hudson Odoi and I thought finally! We have a new Walker.
But since then he's basically been underwhelming save for a handful of good crosses. Don't think he's a bad player by any means but he's definitely less technically good than I expected coming from Madrid. Can see why Zidane doesn't fancy him tbh.
As for Hojbjerg he is simply a decent but limited player. I have absolutely no problems with him in the squad but we will need to improve the first team with better technicians if we really plan to go back to a possession-based game.
I saw a comment about our profile of player and it's so true. Lamela, Lucas, Gio, Ndombele, Son - all our attackers want to dribble with the ball. Bergjwin is probably the only one I've seen that pops off balls quickly (not mentioning Dele as he just does it out of fear and normally straight to a defender).
And then the likes of Winks, Sissoko and Hojberg behind that group its no surprise we can't move the ball quickly. Some great clips of Ajax moving the ball around under Ten Haag but we basically need to replace 80% of our team to play this way.
Maybe we should keep Son and buy Eze.
Son is a lot less productive when he's off-form, so I agree.
I'd still keep them both ffs.
I saw that comment, too, and I am not sure what to make of it. There is nothing more dangerous in football than dribbling, but I believe the trick is to bring the ball with you. And release it at the right time, of course. That's good, also.
Not impressed with regullions but might be better second season. Ndombele I think is decent but so indisciplined in how he plays it must be a nightmare to be a teammate. Is he going to pass it or just do a stupid step over that the defender reads anyway? If he cut some of that shit and used his physicality and passing as he’s got those attributes he’d be much more of an asset.
Lo celso is a clever player and I think has a future, just needs fitness and better players around him.
Son was pathetic in the cup final - a disgrace - but he’s normally reliable and one of our best players most of the time.
All of the above needs to be taken in the context of having had little in the way of positive coaching for the last 12-18months

Because of covid too. There are about two clubs who could afford Kane now, City and PSG. I am quite certain he is going to stay one more season. Son is the one we will sell.
Reguilon would not be easy to replace. He is easily a top 5, if not better, LB in the league.
We can't even get a competent RB but somehow we'll get one of the top LB's in the world now?
