We will buy Solanke and David and sell Richy. We will also buy either Neto or Eze.

Heeeere's Pochy...
I believe you need to actually listen to what he says and learn the difference between his mentality and his strategy.
Solanke looks most likely, fits the way we play, English, in form , plays most games, not ideal but better than Richy or likes of Toney.
Prefer Eze to Neto, purely on goals/assists and fitness levels.
Still think we need a Fabian Ruiz type in the middle, who can control the game, experienced and provide a shield for back 4 and lead out new young guns.
Sub keeper and left and right back cover as well.

I'd take Nunez over Richarlison all day. Guy's a fucking animal. Misses too many sitters but gets himself in so many good positions, works like a nutter. Still scored 18 and assisted 9 in all comps (11/8 PL 5/1 Euro)
Why is Solanke not ideal?
I don't get it... we are not going to spend 100m for the next market up
For me, it’s Gyokeres. I think he’d be that good with what we already have in place. His pressing is exactly what we need.
But I’m open minded on Solanke, he has some of the same traits. They have somewhat of similar profiles, so I understand possible links to both.
He's not better than Nkunku. I think it's arguable whether he's better than Jackson (and I don't mean that as a huge insult, I don't hate Jackson like some do - think he does some good work).

Gyokeres, but for whatever reason it's not happening, so I'm happy with Solanke.
Nkunku is definitely not a no.9.
Jackson i think will come good, he's young and does a lot of good work, I'm hoping Chelsea/Boehly fuck up here
You know my biggest issue with Gyokeres is....he just doesn't get to do them powerful runs he does in the premier League....it just doesn't happen. That's half his G/As gone in an instant
Tammy Abraham scored more than Solanke last season for Roma, ( you know Tammy who couldn't get a gig in the PL). Should we have brought him?
Given the choice of Woolwich or Spurs most players would at this moment in time choose CL footue and Woolwich.
Buying Solanke may indeed not turn us into a PL winner, but in all fairness unless we can find half a billion pounds down the back of Levy's office sofa then perhaps Solanke isn't too shabby a buy.
I actually think Abraham would have had a similar/greater output in terms of G/A than Richarlison to be honest, he did bag 15 league goals in one season for the chavs when he was starting for them under Frank, who knows what he could have ended up being if he had been at a team who believed in him instead of seeing him as an accounting asset because of the lack of cost offsetting associated with paying a transfer fee for a player. Should have made the jump back to England after his first successful season at Roma, alas he has now fallen by the wayside there in favour of Dybala. A lot of wasted potential in there I think. Might come back to England and surprise some at an Ipswich or Southampton type club on the come up.
Tammy just scored 1 goal for 14 matches in Roma last seasion
To be fair, if you extrapolate that over Salanke’s 38 games, it is the equivalent of 2.5.
Pretty much the same.
If Palace are taking in over £100m on Olise and Guehi surely there's no chance they sell Eze in the same window? Their fans will go mad.
Eze has a release clause is his contract, so if Spurs trigger that Palace can't stop him leaving.
