Selling Son would be crazy and unless he aggravates for a move I don't see it happening.
I don't think Levy's pride would let him spend £40m on Dembele when we could have got him for a nominal fee last summer.
It's funny as I think the next 3 games are key to Janssen's future. If he comes in and shows he's capable then he'll be given another season, and maybe if Son proves he can cover as that would potentially buy him another season as we can be somewhat assured that the pressure isn't solely on him. But in reality he's probably toast, pochettino doesn't seem the sentimental type.
It's so hard for the coaching staff and I'm willing to forgive them for a few hit/miss transfers as our strongest XI is arguably the strongest in the league and to get adequate back ups and to keep them happy without paying mega money is tough.
What player that is good enough to either start for another top 6 club, or sit on the bench for £150,000 a week, will want to be a rotation option at us for half that?
Players like Trippier and Son are so valuable as they are willing back ups that are generally extremely capable of filling in.
