Honestly speaking though, why is every one thinking we have to sign Eze? Is he really so concretely link to us? As far as rumours go, I only seem to remember Romano and Gold mentioning he's someone we are keen at, and that's that. Solanke news in the last few days were more resolute than Eze ones have ever been in the last 2 months. I'm just thinking has Eze all along been a fantasy of Spurs fans which Ange totally has no high interest on?

We have gone back 15 years no way is solanke the best we can get and if so then I ask again what was the point of the new stadium because from where I'm sitting this is sort of signing we would of made 20 years ago

Do you have a specific reason about Solanke?

How many games did you watch him play last season?

What did you see that you didn't like? What could he improve on? What do you think his best attributes are?
 
Been a great thread to read through today guys.

Some absolute bangin' posts and fantastic contributions with loads of common sense, insight and some good humour thrown in

Take a bow guys!

Solanke for 65mil is mental.

The guys is 27 years old in a month, so you are getting maybe 4 years of a slightly above average striker for 65mil before some inevitable decline...

Kane is 31, doesn't rely on pace and look at that decline we are seeing...

If this is Lange cooking the guy should get back to the Wetherspoons kitchen.

FYI I rate Solanke, just a mad deal if that is the deal.

Are you upset we might only get 20m for a 32 year old solanke ?

I think keep an eye on Solanke until Jan to see how he does, he's had ONE very good season and two POOR seasons prior in terms of goals. Keep with Richarlison until then and give Lankshear a real chance to break into the first 11 with some decent game time until Christmas.

It's obviously not the most ideal scenario but we're just not able to potentially smoke another 60 odd million on a player that doesn't cut the mustard and take us up another level.

But he has "cut the mustard" hasn't he?

If we wait until January for Solanke, then Richy will be fit to start an odd game, and that i see as a waste of money.

No not really. Outside of them you also have Alvarez who's moving this window, Osimhen who's been available for two seasons, Dovbyk who moved to Roma, Sorloth who moved to Altetico, Jonathan David. There's been much worse striker markets in previous seasons.

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.
