Personally I see us not signing another player this window and maybe even selling Richarlison if we can.

The fact is there is just little to no noise about players coming in. The Solanke transfer even has very little noise around it.

The fact is Archie Gray transfer was done so quick was because Brentford already negotiated the price. The noise around transfers normally comes when negotiating the price.

SC: Dragon1:

The only players we are being linked with are now forwards

the likely scenario today is Solanke and neto

we have made two significant bids for eze but palace want 65-70 and almost all up front
we let Nile John go as we can’t keep all the kids and we rate Devine and donley higher


D1 in response to someone asking if we will bring in another CB:

We will not be buying another center half anytime soon , we have three world class center half’s and Dorrington , Philips and luka vuskovic coming through

we were looking at full backs but Spence and donley have had great pre seasons

I voiced my opinion back of house on Solankie earlier today. Based on snippets of information and admittedly not all that much substance, I think he's being lined up as the fall back option, as we are definitely in contact. My man thinks we have someone else is in mind but it's being well hidden. Normally when there is a mystery man in the mix, kept under wraps, it's because he is the primary target.

Guess we will find out shortly.

Interesting if Solanke is only the back up option!

First, I doubt it'll be twice the amount.

But mainly, does it really make that much of a difference to our overall business how much Emerson friggin Royal goes for? Was it really worth allocating that much time & resources? I think not.

How much time and resource have we allocated though? It's not like we've got to spend time working out a deal, that is on Milan.

Plenty of clubs have done that with plenty of players. He's played solid but not spectacular for three seasons up until the last one, then got really good at Prem level. But I suspect that the club are probably pondering much the same questions as you are.

As with everything, some context needs to be applied. He was exceptional in the Championship, then had a poor PL with Bournemouth before Ireola took over. As soon as Bournemouth started playing front foot Football he excelled. We play front foot Football.

We have fans pining for Gyokeres, yet he's never done anything in a top league as he's never played in one, yet he'd cost £20M more?

We can't complain about missing out on players like Bowen from the Championship, then moan about Solanke when he's performed in both Championship and now Prem.

This is on the back of reports coming out of Saudi Arabia that a deal has been agreed. No idea how legit the source is.

Edit - The translation:

The recruitment committee has concluded its agreement with the English club Tottenham to include the Brazilian player Richarlison in the club's ranks #الاهلي after it had previously concluded its agreement with the player permanently.

The committee is waiting for the green light from the Al-Ahly Club Sports Committee to sign the official contracts

What if we have a superstar Striker Lined up that we haven't even been linked to yet and Solanke is just the replacement for Richie , now that would be us acting like a big club!

If we Sell Richie and just get Solanke in then not sure how anyone can defend Levy as we still haven't replaced Kane!
