I just think our primary targets will cost too much. The only players who are even close to being good enough are being valued way too high. As Trix said clubs would rather sell bench players than star players. We're not getting bench players to replace Kane so if the star players are way too expensive it's not really worth it. I know people love Vlahovic for example even though most only googled him for the first time a couple of months ago but he's not worth even half of Kane. The biggest concern is that we do what Barca did when they lost Neymar and sign 2 overly expensive players who turn out to be flops (admittedly more due to injuries than talent). Anything less than 3 top quality signings with the money is just not worth it in my view. If we're failing to get both Martinez and Vlahovic with money to spare (which i think is fair for what Kane is worth) for example then there aren't many good options left. Also these better players get harder to sign late in the window because teams need top replacements in time. I just think time has run out on this one and we're best to stick with Kane.
