But we can be certain that the club looked at the alternatives. Haaland is an impossibility this summer, as ourselves and Chelsea both found out. Then as well as Kane, we have monitored the likes of Lukaku, Darwin Nunez, Andre Silva, Danny Ings, Patson Daka. These are all names that we saw linked with City in the recent past. But what if the club looked at all the data on them, all the reports, and decided ONLY Kane fits the bill out of all the attainable strikers this summer? If that’s the case, as it very much appears to be, then as much as we don’t like it, the sensible approach if we don’t get Kane is to keep our powder dry for when someone else is available that does meet our needs. It’s a total waste of money to buy someone that can’t do what Pep wants from this striker purchase.
