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.

Solanke doesn't appear to be our first choice.
Welcome to TFC
after watching that just pay the 60m!
na to be fair he is a well rounded striker.
All 3 of them are risky.
Neto: can he stay fit?
Eze: does he really fit our system, where will he play?
Solanke: is he actually good enough?
Each are concerning for different reasons, but obviously Solanke’s is the most worrisome.
He has improved drastically in the last few years counting his record form 5 years ago is pointless
i dont think we'd aim to sign all 3 anyway - don't think theres room in the squad unless others go. so not really sure what point youre making tbh
2 is more likely, although haven't seen anything at all on eze for some time
I’d actually say Solanke 100% improves the first XI from day one the most given Richy’s troubles since moving here.
Neto at silly money with his injury re ord is a huge risk, made even more risky with Anges style of football, could his hamstrings handle it, seems unlikely.
Prefer Solanke to Toney, but only at the right money, which seems unlikely, think we are going to get rinsed either way. Supposed the home grown is playing a part here also.

he got 6 goals in 22/23. although bournemouth were shit
I don’t think anyone’s head over heels with Toney. More a begrudging acknowledgement that we might be able to get a deal. Although it looks like he’s after a payday.
I don’t want to spend big money on either. There’s a lack of strikers about. Sink it into a star winger instead.
Are we going for Hospital XI?
But then Romano wouldn't be reporting on it as I don't think he has sources internally at the club anymore.
Yep- and so the huge influence of agents/ intermediaries has meant he is a reliable source. But no one should get carried away- it's not like anyone has reported we're in advanced negotiations for Solanke.
Solanke is a much much better fit for the way we play.
His pressing numbers don't surprise me either. Tbh I'm at the stage of trying not to get too invested as opposed to trying to persuade myself to want him.
