I can't see Bale to us happening. More likely Utd will sign him.
Sess is a much more realistic target. He will cost a lot but will carry resale value and doesn't have a long history of injuries. Under Poch he could become top class, not Bale level but still a top player. Plus he wont have massive wages either.
I do think we'll change things if Eriksen leaves. Often times he is pretty much shoehorned into the formation. Either central attacking midfield or in off the left or right to fit others around him. I think we'll add better competition for Winks (which I think Grealish was going to add but to replace Eriksen we need a top player like Isco really) and Dier (maybe Sander Berge or Declan Rice). That should add better ball retention from deeper in midfield and maybe not miss Eriksen as much.
If we signed someone like Sess it would add a 2nd wide attacker in a front 3. I would like to see us play 2 inside wing forwards more next season. When Kane drops off you then have 2 pacey attackers overlap on either wing.
Sess---Kane---Son
Alli
I still think Alli can continue improving and I actually think he's the one with the capability to play some of the final passes that Eriksen does. Play him in the number 10 role, but if we get a second creative central midfielder you can still push them further forward if Alli is out.
