We signed a "player like Solanke" a few seasons ago, decent pressing forward from a lower half club, name's Richarlison I believe. He never scored 19 goals in the Prem though.

Just think that's why nobody is getting excited. Its potentially a "good" signing but no clear evidence to suggest it would be a "great" signing.
If we had the sway and impetus, the names of attackers that come to mind who dont already play for top, top teams that would excite fans might include:
- Osimhen
- Martinez
- Raphael Leao
- Kvaraschkelia
- Nico Williams
- Eze (exciting for some)
- Neto (exciting for some)
None of them would look out of place playing for Liverpool or City when fully fit
How about Shamrock Rovers Sergi?
Solanke is average.
What is your issue with him as footballer?
He’s a good fit for the way we play no doubt.
Can see us going to £40 and no more which probably won’t be enough if that is who we end up going for??
Solanke is the more rounded player. Technically better with the ball at his feet. Can dribble, run in behind but also hold it up back to goal. Good feet in the box, hard worker off the ball.
Toney is a static focal point for a team that goes more direct. I’m fairly sure he would flop here . His all round game and lack of mobility will get noticed more if we were watching him every week.
Think Solanke would do well in this team he’s just not a fancy name and he struggled at Liverpool and early on at Bournemouth so can see why people are not keen or they’re jumping on the bandwagon.
If we can’t get Gyrokeres he’s the next best option imo.
I think Toney marginally as he has better hold up play and is just as good at finishing. Preferably neither though.
When was this?He went 30 hours ! And 17 hours of football without a goal at different stages!
But the - points you've bought up for Solanke you could do the same for Toney though.
You seem to have got aboard that hype train very quickly after posting his YouTube highlights reel

How old was he then?
Like playing Scarlett now and complaining about his goal scoring record in 5 years
It’s in the article I posted. For Liverpool and Bournemouth
Well seeing as we're talking about strikers we can rule out the majority of players on that list.
Playing for a club like ours is a whole new ball game than that of playing for Bournemouth.
Solanke is an average strike who had a decent season, without the pressure being on him.
Could he be a success with us? Possibly but highly unlikelly for the reasons above and probably quite a lot more.
Yeah true, I'm not too keen on either.
Openda is 24 and one worth looking at?
He hasn't let the world alight for either Argentina or City... perhaps I'm being harsh but 11 goals from 31 starts for City in the PL last season isn't good enough considering the supply they have.
You can check back my posts I've said Solanke is better option than Toney for a while.You seem to have got aboard that hype train very quickly after posting his YouTube highlights reel
I'm probably coming off more hyped up than I really am because Spurs fans really piss me off with shit reactions to a signing because it's not a sexy name. Just trying to persuade some to think rationally about it.
This is the kind of take I have on it.
