I've been a big fan of solanke for a while for some reason i seem to watch a good amount of Bournemouth's games and hes impressed me especially since iraola took charge.

For what it's worth I actually think he's 15 goal a season rather than a 20+ goal a season striker.

he doesn't really have a weakness he creates loads for his team as well, but Bournemouth miss loads of good chances.

He's an excellent set piece defender for an added bonus too.
This isn’t though everyone who is behind solanke making out he’s the greatest striker ever. Just look at what you have written. If that is the case how comes no one either here or abroad have gone in for him. Was he even in demand end of season 22/23? All of a sudden bcos he scored 19 goals last season everyone comes with all the other stuff about no weaknesses, creates loads for his team although he only 3 assists last season and so on. Were you or anyone else thinking the same end of previous season. He may be a decent player and could do a job for us but not at £65M. Is he really that much more better than young Will?
 
fuck off the centre back and midfielder idea and bring in attacking options ffs.

Also what about a back up LB?
We need eze, Neto , decent CF and a DM or LB as a min. I’d rather get eze and Neto than spend £65M on solanke who is not much better than richi. Better to bide our time. I think young Will we have a good option plus you can alternate Son, richi and kulu in the 9 role depending on the oppo. Adding eze and Neto will improve our creativity so much.
 
Thing is he talks a lot especially last season, don’t care about 4th, we are going for title this season ( and all those who say he always wins in 2nd season, this is who we are mate, attack needs improving and so on. Where is all that now. He needed to walk before running especially with owner like levy. I swear he must be so nieve or just completely got his head in the clouds. I’m sure people like Warne, border , Chappell would have stood for this shit. I guess it comes down to he knows this is the best gig his ever gonna get and wasn’t 4th choice that he doesn’t really have too much power or influence.

What's he gonna do? What's he suppose to do? All he can is try and do the best with what he has and use the academy

If Jose mourhino or conte are unable to get what they want why would he? I'm sure he knew well before he signed the contract what he was in for, how spurs do things is no secret.

He could go on a rant like conte but that's not gonna help apart from being funny

I meant he should have kept his mouth may be a little bit more shut. He will look a fool now.
 
It's Paris. Massive wages, and Paris. Is there anywhere in the world better to be rich?
paris is a nice area to live is it? ive never heard anyone whos been say its a nice place and they cant wait to go back.

regardless of all that bollox. hes a young footballer thats cleaning up on the major trophies (ones that are actually respectable) why go to a dead league and halt the legacy hes building. you dont move out of the big 3 leagues if youre him. hes on course to having the greatest collection of trophies going. a load of french titles means fuck all, holds no prestige.

might as well go saudi if hes gonna go PSG.
 
Donley?
That would he insanely fucking stupid to trust a 19 year old attacking midfielder who literally just got 'converted' into a left back to start games in the premiership should udogie be injured.
He should be kept not for LB but further forward where he normally plays. He deserves the opportunity to show what he can do. Otherwise what is the point of excelling in the U21s.
 
What does he mean by quick fixes. He should have thought that last season when he didn’t we think getting top 4 was worthy or lofty enough for his ambitions. Instead he said we will be going for the title this season.
If he didn’t believe in quick fixes then why did he barely give any minutes to our academy players?

Champions league place, our number objective.
You saw how pissed he was when we lost to city, it wasn't just the crowd imo. It was the end of CL qualification
