Guess we will see how far along the "if Kane goes" deals are.

Still not ideal for him to come in last minute. Planning could and should have been much better

Still not buying the idea we would get him regardless of Kane. We just got Veliz for the future and have Scarlett developing too. We were never going to spend on another forward unless Kane is sold. It's obvious the brief was to not make it sound like Kane was going. I think we get him and spend on a centre back with maybe a wide forward. It's all about the potential now and building a young team. Similar to what got success under Poch. I would get Orban but keep Veliz for a bit too as this lad is still young and raw too. Between them and Richarlison we might be ok.

Yeah this seems likely.

I could see us signing Orban, Johnson and another centre back. As much as it hurts losing Kane I would still be happy with our window overall.

Yup. Though I'm not sure I'd want Johnson. I'd like to think there's a better wide forward we could get

I think we would need a homegrown if we get 2 forwards. Could maybe get 2 non homegrown if the centre back is a homegrown but think Tosin was the only one and its gone quiet. I think its why we get linked to the likes of Johnson, Eze and Gallagher. If I'm right saying Orban would count to that non hg quota as he's 21.

Orban turned 21 on 17 July, so would count as U21 for this sesason.

Is this transfer one that we are genuinely and seriously pursuing , or is it just social media vaporware?
