Ok cards on the table. Kane is gone. We go forward
Now let’s assume he would have scored around 25 goals this season in the PL. Not unreasonable. We were the 5th highest scoring team last year. So how are going to replace the 25 goals minimum?
Well, actually we may not even need a new striker- but obviously better if we do even if he doesn’t hit the ground running
Sonny - scored 10 last season. Can we expect more now under Ange? I think he’s more than capable of 15 in the new system. So that’s 5 of the 25
Maddison - already scores goals in a poor Leicester side, could get 10. So we up to 15 now
Kulu- only got 2 prem goals last season - really should hit 5 at least, so now we up to 18
Richarlison - I’d be really shocked it he wasn’t bagging at least 10 this season after only 1 last year - so we now up to 27
Bissouma - didn’t get a single goal but in Ange system I expect 4, so we now up to 31
So actually I think with the new attacking formula, the Kane goals could well be replaced with some existing players improving their goal form and guys like Solomon and Maddison getting goals from midfield
And of course if we can sign a good striker - we could be in business for plenty of goals in the post -Kane era

Ange saying there Kane leaving has always been the plan so sounds like they will add another striker.
----------------------------------------------------------------------
Not necessarily. He said that Kane was always likely to leave as you can see that in the business we've done so far. That suggests they always knew he was off and the money has already been spent.
If that is the case then that's a disgrace. On absolutely no level is it acceptable to lose a world class player and replace them with a £10-15m punt from South America, even if they plan on using Richy as the central striker.

Would bet every penny I have on Spurs signing a striker before the window closes.

Son is class, with his hernia repaired he should get a lot better. Is there a reason why it wasn't repaired earlier?
----------------------------------------------------------------------
Son centrally will be a menace. He can play on the shoulder or score from outside the box. Never seen him score a header though

What about the Kane assists?
----------------------------------------------------------------------
Barely got any did he? Was often involved in the build up before the assist though for goals he doesn’t score. Probably too much at times.

Thinking Richy will double his output from last season so we will be okay

If Ang knew he was off the whole time and had planned for it, why didn’t he play someone else up top in any of their pre season games?

Neymar wants to leave and PSG want to help him go.

Of course you can replace Kane's goals. What do you think players are going to do? Just stand about once the ref has placed the ball on the spot?? Also I'm sure someone could replace Kane's 3 assists last season
