Not heard anything regarding Kane, but yeah would be some outlay that. Wonder if there might be a high profile departure if we did actually get both?
I feel like there would definitely have to be if Grealish is coming in - just don’t see how we add another player of his calibre in to the mix with the options we currently have. You don’t buy someone for £60-80m without serious intentions for him to be a key player.
Grealish would obviously be able to split his time between LW and CM, but we already have Foden, Sterling and Torres for the former (not including Jesus who occasionally plays there) and Gundo, KDB and Bernardo for the latter.
Just don’t see where he fits in without a major departure - Sterling’s poor form and fall down the pecking order makes him stick out in this conversation, but I just can’t see him leaving, especially with all the contract talk.
Jesus could be a likely departure, but is a bit of a non-factor given he’s predominantly a CF and Kane ticks that box in terms of incomings.
There’s the false 9 argument, but you don’t spend £100m+ on Kane to then play that system.
As talented as Grealish is and I think he would be absolutely fantastic for us, I just don’t see the logic behind the transfer in it’s current guise.
