I agree we need another CB but I think we’ve signed our one and only top/potential top CB in VDV, I think we’ll be looking at a cheaper option now personally, would like to be pleasantly surprised though. CM I think we’re alright tbh, especially if PEH stays because as much as I don’t rate him as a top CM he’s as reliable as they come and a CM group of Bissouma, PEH, Skipp, Sarr, Gio, Maddison and Bentancur when he’s back should be fine IMO.Think we still need another CB and probably a CM. Vlhovic Orban and Kudos alone would take more than we got from Kane.
I think one overlooked part of the Kane deal though might have been the structure where it looks like Levy got most of the money up front and not over years. That flexibility could help stretch our budget this year - so more deals can be paid off in later years.
Kudus, Vlahovic and Orban would cost more than the Kane fee but I’m going with that with the info that Orban is supposedly a target independent to Kane staying or going. Kudus and Vlahovic would be pretty much bang on the £110m we’re getting for Kane
