How do you know we haven't got a plan B?End of the day he isn’t worth £150 million but we have fucked up by not having a plan b and it will cost us his season. Torres Jesus and delap will not win us the title .

Came on to say the same thing. I’ve been saying the same all Summer. Stupid stupid price. It would have been a serious ‘head’s gone’ moment from us to pay anything more than £90m for Kane.Very very happy we’re not spunking £150m on a 28 year ole with paper ankles.
To say we will not win is daft at this stage, obviously our chances would improve with a natural finisher but Kane staying doesn’t suddenly swap our position with Spurs. We will still be challenging for trophies come spring.Glad we did not pay over the odds for him but without a world class striker we will not win the PL or CL this season as other teams have strengthened and we simply are not clinical enough. Bit like when Kompany left, we had no replacement and had a season with Fernandino in defence, now we could potentially have a season with Jesus, Torres and Sterling as only striking choices and none are exactly clinical
The footballer idea.Are you laughing at the thought of Greenwood blowing up and bits of him flying everywhere (bit macabre for my taste) or the ludicrous idea that he will improve as a footballer?
Which one is it then? We need clarity for closure.
With quality CB's like Laporte, Dias and Stones it really is a no brainer to play three at the back when required. Of course if Laporte leaves would not feel as confident with Ake or Walker in a three but it still might work. ClearlyI disagree on the over thinking. We had a problem playing Chelsea twice, their wing backs kept getting space and causing problems. Pep played Sterling in the hope that it might pressure the back 3 and restrict their wingbacks. It didn’t work. Gundogan at DM wasn’t the issue.
England solved the same problem against Germany by going 3 at the back which we probably should have done. Bet we go 3 at the back against Chelsea this season.
