i'll entertain the notion that the hirst article isn't bullshit for just a moment
If we truly can't buy kane unless we sell a player, then getting grealish is quite possibly the stupidest thing we've ever done. a striker is so much more important, and banking the ENTIRE summer on being able to move someone like bernardo, with the current market being that no one has cash, and he's on a huge salary, is such a dumb move that even though I think hirst is a credible journalist, it makes me question that article. if it were true it'd be too stupid a move to conceive. Why on earth would we get grealish first and potentially lock ourselves out of a striker, which is a far more important position? Doesn't seem right.
the only thing I can think of is that one of his sources is just lying for some sort of negotiation tactics,
