I don't blame Levy for selling him, I blame Levy for not giving him reason to stay.
And for not replacing him with a decent alternative. We weren’t expecting another Kane but either someone who’s delivering the goods and has high potential or a proven striker.
Solanke works hard but he’s no Kane by any stretch of the imagination and he’s only had one successful season in the top flight.
It’s just not Kane’s goals - he was an assist King, a defensive force for opposition set pieces, a leader, an all round superb player. Kane out and Solanke in replaces a negligible percentage of what Kane brought to the team. As he’s an enigma you find you may need several players across the pitch to soften the blow of what he delivered week in week out, Levy/Lange and co didn’t deliver on that either.
