For lots of money.
It's the "shiny" cadre. There's no thought on how they fit in with the team dynamic, just how much they cost so we can "win" the transfer window.

But if that is who he wants why have we waited two months to really show any interest if the reports are to be believed?
Why do you believe those reports, no-one waits a whole Summer to show interest mate lol
He's in ones from today
Pretty sure I've seen this exact report on the first week of the window.
They’re catching on…
Since we sold Kane the forward we have bought are Johnson... looking to sign Solanke- mid table signings that wouldn't look out of place at West Ham. So disappointing.
I like him. Was last season a one off or is he just coming into his peak? He has great attributes though,he’s big and strong,decent touch,quick,good in the air and can obviously finish so what’s not to like??
Some players just can’t cut it at bigger clubs and I don’t know if he’s one of them. I remember Sigurdsson coming to Tottenham and I thought we were getting a star because he was class with his previous club but it just never happened. He just seemed to struggle with being at a bigger club but you thought he’d thrive.
Going back to the striker situation,Gyokeres has been my number one all summer and I mentioned him last season in the Kane thread about bringing him in. The money is the money so if he’s what we want then just go get him. To be honest though and he’s more than just an out and out number 9 and would give us different options in our play.
Should we have signed an upgrade on Kane?
Starting to sound like one attacking player incoming this window …
Yeah I agree with all of that. Need the CF to help out defensively on corners too. Both are good headers of the ball.
We also have a brand spanking new stadium said to change the way we operate in the market if the best is solanke then what was the point this is sort of signing we would of made in 2002.
This was in relation to just getting two in.
I can only assume the wording here is misconstrued. And that we need more in (back up GK, LB, CB, CM, LW, RW, ST) but it can't all be done in one window.
Still expecting two more signings atleast.
He also said:
That he is not getting emotional about the situation because he believes that the transfer overhaul at the club is bigger than many people perhaps thought.
Which we all know. Likes of Skipp, Forster, Solomon etc all need to go but maybe won't find new homes this summer
People acting like Solanke is some mediocre CF who had an hit streak of form last seasons are proper clueless. He’s just a victim of being in the spotlight playing regular PL mins from an early age so the “failed wonderkid” reputation has stuck even tho he’s only 26 - Same age as Gyrokes btw, and 2 years younger than Toney and Watkins.
I find it very impressive that when given the minutes, he works to improve each time. That’s always a good sign. He definitely an all round upgrade on Richarlison.

Tell us you're a yes man without telling us Ange sure.

give him a couple more summer windows and he'll have that 2019 poch demeanour about him
The concern with Solanke isn't that he's not shiny; he's averaged one goal every 303 minutes in his PL career. Had one good goalscoring season in PL last season, and even then he scored less than his xG.
