So basically we are looking at a striker who has had one good season. Look at his PL record prior to last season. If was a £60M player you’d think other teams would have been sniffing like goons, Villa, toon, manure etc. he may be good but it’s a one season sample he is being valued on.

So why not pay the same for Solanke then?
If he does it again we won't be able to afford him..
That is the club you support.
So not really much of an improvement. Also majority of solankes goals were in the champo.
Can’t we just poach Bethany England from the ladies team
The acceptance stage
Said all summer I'd prefer Solanke to Toney. I rate him.
Again - why did he have a good season last year? Previously Bournemouth had O’Neil and Scott Parker playing very counterattacking, sufferball type football. He didn’t get many quality touches in the opposition final third. He’d have to take his one chance per match or that was it.
Last year, they got a coach who wants to play on the front foot no matter what, who gets his teams pressing high, playing out under pressure, and he had more touches and more chances created, and scored a lot of goals as a result. A good fit for that kind of system. That suggests he’d also be a good stylistic fit for Angeball too, no?

This guy at it again. Reckon we see the bigger accounts picking up on it soon.
Wow Dom Solanke? What a statement of intent.
Joke club if this is true.
Joke club if this is true.
Resident pessimistic twat here.
We won't sign anyone of relevance and will finish 8th at best.
We won't sign anyone of relevance and will finish 8th at best.
What's the sensible move then?
And if he doesn’t do it again, we won’t be able to sell him.
I get our strategy. I’ve made my peace with elements of it. But we’d be repeating the mistake we always make - overpaying for ok talent.
I’d rather keep Richie.
I don’t think you understand.
If we sign all 3 of them then it’ll cost £150m+.
Do you genuinely believe Daniel Levy is going to sanction £150m+ in a transfer window for 3 mid table PL players?
Having them 3 as the primary targets almost guarantees disappointment and missing out. There’s no way in hell we sign all 3, and we’ll go into the season short.
Time of the month?
because it was common knowledge that Richarlison was the managers first choice at the time of signing so Levy pushed the boat to get the deal done thus overspending (think it was 50m plus bonuses).
Solanke doesn't appear to be our first choice.
