It was iffy whether this move was actually going to happen, but at least Daniel Levy got the fee the club needed to depart with its greatest player in its history.
I've watched the videos from the various YouTube pundits bemoaning the loss of Kane.
It's a brutal loss, but I'd rather get money for him leaving now rather than him moving to Manchester United or, for God's sake, Chelsea after the season is over. I could not stomach seeing Kane in a Chelsea kit. That would be a major kick in the short and curlies.
Not all is lost though.
Richarlison will move to the position that he's actually best at playing--as a number 9. While he had an underwhelming campaign last season, I'm confident he'll be a positive force without now being under the shadow of Kane.
He's Brazil's no. 9. His performance last season was shite for the most part, but he didn't get regular playing time at all under Conte due to injuries and Conte being Conte. He was not able to establish any kind of rhythm as a player.
The money from the sale of Kane to Bayern could help Spurs sign another center-back, which is sorely needed. I like Micky van de Ven, but we need another swift and strong center-back although I still have hope for Tanganga.
In addition, part of the funds could go toward acquiring someone like Gift Orban and/or Brennan Johnson.
If Spurs decide to sell Hojbjerg, they could also go shopping for another midfielder.
It appears Tottenham is going through the rebuild that Pochettino called for years ago--just this time without Kane.
Time to move on and trust the fun system that Ange has created.
We aren't going to be a football club that relies so heavily on one player to score. I suspect the goals will be spread around.
