Can we not do minutes please when doing goals and appearances. Coming off the bench to play 5 minutes here and there for Liverpool is abit misleading.

Solanke:

20,876 minutes of competitive men's football
Equivalent to 232 games played.
118 goals/assists combined

Goal or assist every 1.9 games or so.

Not bad. Not great.

Sure but that will cost, conservatively, something like £150m. Likely even more with add-ons.

Each of those PL clubs will demand huge money, the rumours for Eze and Neto already in the 60m range.

No chance Bournemouth lets their English 20-goal-a season striker go for cheap.

This is what I mean when I say Redknappian transfer window. Everyone knows that these players are good for the PL, they're Prem-proven household names from mid table clubs. Random bloke down the pub could've suggested all 3. Problem is they're all under contract and PL clubs ask for silly money for Prem-proven talent..

What are we paying Lange for exactly? This isn't unearthing a hidden gem, it's the 3 most obvious attackers in the entire league lol. Levy will not be pleased. He does not like paying over the odds and above all else he hates losing a negotiation.

But we’ve got gems aplenty, and have signed three already in Bergvall, Gray, Yang. And also have Moore, Lankshear, Donley, Hall, Vuskovic, etc coming through.

What Ange probably wants on top of all this young talent is some PL-hardened players who know how tough the league is and how to navigate the season. Signing these players always has done well for us even post-Harry. Alderweireld, Dembele, Wanyama, Trippier, etc. The hit rate is far higher than big signings from overseas.

In many ways, the formula that Levy may have settled on is look for bargain gems overseas like Bergvall, Sarr, Destiny, and speng big on PL-proven.

Lange was instrumental in persuading Bergvall. Just because he’s trying to unearth gems don’t mean he can’t sign established prem players.

We never had a window like that under Redknapp. Really don’t get where you are coming from in this
 
Romano like everyone else has proven he knows nothing about what is going on yet people are still getting their knickers in a twist about Solanke.

For what it's worth Solanke is a good player who would probably be a success here but no way we pay what Bourenmeouth want (60m plus).

Solanke is fine don’t get me wrong but basically all of him, Neto, and Eze will cost silly money. Price of doing business with PL clubs especially for English players. There’s no chance we can fork over money for all 3 of them.

Surely someone from the continent is available that’s a little more reasonably priced.

Stop worrying about the money, we have plenty. Never understand our fans always searching for value for money

We absolutely did under Redknapp.

Look at 08 or 09, it was like we bought half of Portsmouth FFS. Kranjcar, Palacios, Bassong, Keane, Bentley, Kaboul, etc. etc.
