Don't get me wrong, hindsight is 20/20 and if Pelle had done what Kane did and viceversa I'd be tipping my cap to you, but I think in rational terms (ie. without hindsight) Kane was still a better choice despite the more difficult 2 fixtures. Holding onto a player you already have and don't need to transfer in, while he is still scoring plenty of goals, doesn't signify sheep to me, it just makes sense.
