Transfers Summer Transfer thread - 2024

[McCOYS]

Apparently Solanke is some sort of gooner.

''With Bournemouth striker Dominic Solanke having been heavily linked with a move to Tottenham in recent weeks, his links with Woolwich have emerged.

This is not just because of the fact that Woolwich are also interested in him, but also because the Gunners were his first love in football owing to his father being a fan of the North London Reds.''

Also it doesn't necessarily mean we haven't triggered the release clause.

well yes but if we had triggered it the report would be saying we had done so.

it's saying they've agreed to sell him for a club record fee which actually insinuates we haven't triggered it.

 

[Starks]

club record fee doesn't necessarily mean we've triggered the release clause.

If its our club record fee, it most likely has been. If it's Bournemouths record fee, then probably not.

The fact the wording "triggered release clause" hasn't been mentioned probably tells us we haven't though.

Unless the negotiation has been going on for so long because we wanted to structure it in a way that prevents Liverpool getting a huge wedge

 

[spids]

Solanke, Richarlison, Son, Kulusevski , Johnson and Werner.


We definitely still need 1 more.

Mikey Moore (hopefully Neto as well)

 

[Richard Splash]

I can't believe this. Trix said Solanke was the fall back option, and that his man said someone else was lined up.

Can't bloody trust anyone these days.

Get a refund mate

does it mean its a record for Bournemouth rather than for us perhaps.

to get done quickly know so he can be about the place for tomorrows game, least he should get a week of training in before Leicester

I think we'll get one more. (right winger)

Whether it's Neto or not I don't know - but I do think we'll sign one. There's plenty out there who fit the profile but I do prefer us to pursue our number one target, even if it drags on then fall for a second or third option.

Record for us.

So would be, what?

Over £63m? Release clause was £65m. So you'd think we'd have triggered it

We don't want to pay release clauses though cause of the lump sum aspect.
Personally I'm just happy I won't have to see Ndombele's name anymore on those record fee lists.

I note that Ange likes big, athletic players. Our signings this summer - Bergvall (1.86m), Gray (1.88m), Solanke (1.87m). Defending set pieces should be a lot easier as the team gets bigger. Players likely leaving are midgets by comparison: Skipp (1.75m), Lo Celso (1.77m), Solomon (1.70m)

 

[Fattynomates]

Toney>Solanke that's my opinion. Toney is a more clever footballer all round and deadly at pens.

Gareth Southgate is no fool.

We rarely get pens plus son is just as deadly

I imagine the payments are staggered over 5 years. Which may end up more than the release clause then if that's the case.

Hence the clear lack of the words release clause.

 

[To Dare Is To Do.]

Best of luck to the lad, let’s all get behind him!!

He’s a perfect stylistic fit and his off the ball movement should improve us as a team regardless. Let’s hope last season wasn’t a one off re his goalscoring.

Now we need a RW!

Even adding Spence (1.84m) back into the mix.

 

[Kane's left]

Anyone who has a thin and tall build absolutely will need to get Solanke on the back of their shirt for #bantz. It's a matter of public urgency!

I'm here all week and signing autographs at noon.

 

[PatagoniaPhil]

If Richarlison is staying I dont mind buying Solanke as much

Solanke, Richarlison, Son, Kulusevski , Johnson and Werner.

"Jeeves, make sure we significantly put up the ticket prices and season tickets at the start of next quarter for this act of defiance."

 

[PatagoniaPhil]

Both shit IMO. Decent winger gets 25 to 30 goals in 90 games.
