Yeah it’s kind of jarring, I remember when Steve Nash came to visit the training ground a few years ago. He was viewed as the smallest scrawniest guy ever in the NBA, and then look at him next to Jan and Dier:

If we were never likely to pay the release clause in your view then I don't know what difference it makes.
Regardless of that no-one really knows what are we are looking to do with Eze or know what Palace are willing to accept for him, just have to wait and see!
Nah, the are all 2 inches shorter than the listed height in the NBA. Footballers have no reason to do that. Solanke probably about the same height as Russell Westbrook in person.
With you 100000000% if this is talking Solanke.
Nothing personal but if we sign him that is absolutely us saying we are a second tier club.
Newcastle wouldn't touch him and neither would Chelsea let alone the top clubs.
I just don't see the arguments for the bloke and he has zero sell on.
Completely accept I might be wrong but this smells of desperation.
I said I would be sikent on it and will try to keep to that but it's hard when you see posters who 2 seasons ago would have laughed at the thought.

You're not really saying anything ground breaking here, we all know we need upgrades to our forward areas, you seem to think Fulkrug and Summerville are upgrades over Son in either position which is crackhead talk, if both are upgrades that Ange could desperately want then why didn't we go for either?
You're talking about big clubs bending big players yet at the same time pining for 2 players that no big clubs went for, make it make sense please™
Tell our scouts to fucking scout.
Fed up with being linked to players who played well once against us or have a good youtube compilation clip. I want thorough scouting and data to back up the eye test. I don't care if the player we sign isn't someone I've heard of.
Footballers are all "genuine" height. Jonny public on the other hand usually add an inch or 2 for some reason. So when a player is listed at 5ft 10, Jonny Public thinks that's small. Then you see the 5ft 10" player and he looks 6ft. Because most "6ft'ers" lie.
And ended up paying more.
You do realise that if you look up "baulk" in the thesaurus, you won't find "negotiating" as one of its synonyms.
Steve Nash is listed at 6'3'...Yeah it’s kind of jarring, I remember when Steve Nash came to visit the training ground a few years ago. He was viewed as the smallest scrawniest guy ever in the NBA, and then look at him next to Jan and Dier:
NBA players are listed above their actual height

Nunez is actually a prime example of why we should have reservations about Gyokeres. 26 in 28 in the Portuguese league, couldn't hit a Cows arse with a banjo in the PL.
I think the actual club ITKers are fed up of these clowns raising expectations and creating noise and aggro unnecessarily and are shutting them out. Consequently they are desperately using each other as supporting credibility links. I expect Hercules to get an emoji from the shit Jacobs shortly.
No thanks to Chelsea
What's with these weird inferiority issues? Do you think Liverpool stopped being a big club when they bought Jota, or City when they bought Kalvin-Phillips?
I find it difficult to believe the WLB ITK more than anything...
But that seems to be the implication of this "news".
Will then enter club to club talks doesn't sound like we've scoped them out as yet.
Solanke is comfortably better than any striker Chelsea have on the books and the guy they are linked with from Spain today. The guy from spain they are linked with might one day be a beast but he might take until he hits his prime at 26 to get there.
Solanke would never go back to Chelsea anyway because he was an academy prodigy there who they gave up on because they went from the likes of Jose to to Conte. He was actually their youngest ever Champions league debut. Still is I think. So that tells you how highly rated he has always been when you consider their academy has been the best in the country for about 15 years.
Eugh, gross. Chelsea gets to inflate its incoming money to avoid FFP with the Gallagher sale and in turn “pays” for a raw ball of clay in return. Nasty work. I hate the modern game.
I know, but the original post I was commenting to was this:
The striker market isn't that bad, you have Solanke, Toney, Gyokeres all available. People here are just turning their noses up at all options that aren't from a foreign league.
In what world is the striker market not bad when those 3 are the best options out there?
If he agreed to an exorcism....would you reconsider?
Eh?
You say our rivals would be going backwards if they don't make any signings so I asked you who those rivals are.
I have a feeling you don't want to answer that question because it would make a nonsense of your claim that our rivals are going backwards hence the hissy fit and talk of fronting up lol.
Sign Solanke - I’m not against that
The original point I argued against was “this isn’t a bad market for strikers” - I should have just replied with “yes it fucking is” the message might have come across better than me trying to explain why it is
