What the fuck is going to happen if Kane gets injured?

Well kind of, by the end...but if he'd put in an actual bid of £12-15m a month ago Jack would be yours. That was already a bargain. It was holding out for an even cheaper deal (rumoured to be £3m + Onomah) assuming we'd have no choice that scuppered it when we then got rich again.
Hey ho - if we don't go up this season there'll be a release clause so he'll be off anyway. -
I agree with you, I am sanguine about our lack of transfer activity, even though I’ve been wanting us to improve the squad with new faces since the sheriff’s “let’s be brave” chat.
We’ve got a young squad, improving year on year (Sanchez/Dele/Trippier/Kane/Eriksen), the return of injured impact players (Lamela/winks), signings from previous years you hope hit the ground running (moura/nkoudou/aurier), and a manager who knows how to get the best out of his players.I don’t agree because football is an arms race and league position is usually dictated by how much you spend. The teams around us spent to improve/fill the holes in their teams and we are rolling back out the same one that solidified our challenger status last season.
We spent the money holding onto what we have, giving improved terms to our important players and for whatever reason, levy brinkmanship, fall of the pound, being priced out by early transfer moves by our rivals, we haven’t brought anyone in. Which worries because ultimately I don’t want to see the improvement and impact we’ve had over the last couple of seasons lost.
But whatever fears I have are allayed by the fact that Pochettino knows what he is doing, is working closely with levy and isn’t doing a mourinho. So fingers crossed we challenge for the league, win a trophy and get into the semi’s of the champions league..

Am I the only Spurs fan 'cool' with no signings? Yes, ideally one or two would have been nice (exciting) and useful (possibly) but we've lost no one and would probably have ended up with a net (value wise) loss if we'd done a 2 out 2 in. I'd rather (given our other financial responsibilities) sit out this season's transfer fee silly season in the hope that fees 'settle' next; if not there'll be an even more massive shift/increase in all financial aspects of football. Lamela back to fitness and Moura (aka Pamela and Moira) now settled the squad will certainly have been freshened up.
