What's good business about it? The fact the club's finances appear so perilous that we weaken our already wafer thin squad ahead of a match against the league leaders. It's embarrassing really, we can't be that desperate surely that we couldn't hold them off until a replacement is agreed?
Kane and Waghorn are two players contributing almost nothing other than a respectable chunk out of the wage bill and a seat on the bench. We wanted them gone in the summer (allegedly) and couldn't find any takers. If the wage bill needs cutting in order to bring players in, and we have takers for those two, then for me it is a pretty open and closed case that you move them on whilst you have the chance.
Are we low on numbers tomorrow? Yes
Are we probably going to lose tomorrow anyway? Yes
Will they bring in replacements that surely can't be any worse? All being well yes
I get that last point is probably where it lies, but I can't see why we're getting upset about losing Waghorn and Kane.
Yep this is exactly it. We probably lose tomorrow anyway and if we do it isn't because kane and waghorn don't come off the bench. Get rid of them while we can
Not against it in principle but do think it pretty ridiculous to do it in Waghorn's case where there is literally not another fit senior forward at the club.

Again, the option to do it may not have been there if we had waited until after Burnley. So it's a case of having to go 1 game with 1 striker, not the end of the world
