Fred Sirieix's daughter has been diving into the water for GB.
Solanke > Kane
Fucking hope so!
Definitely not gonna have any motivation issues - Richys comments were good on this front the other day as well.
Up the Spurs
Hang on. He's 26, so if he's had 10 seasons, you're effectively going back to when he was 16. You're honestly using the years between 16 and 19 as a stick to beat him with?
Interestingly enough, in the 3 years of his "senior" team time at Chelsea, he never played a single game in the PL, and only had 21 appearances for Liverpool, again behind Salah, Firminho and Mane.
As with everything, context is important. His first "real" season in the PL came with Bournemouth in 2020 when they were relegated. He then had 2 seasons in the Championship, before returning to the PL, with Bournemouth, for the 22/23 season, where they once again struggled but managed to stay up. It was with the advent of Iriola, and his front foot Football, that Solanke then hit his straps.
So, for context, he's had 3 seasons in the PL as a first choice striker, not 10. 29 goals in 134 appearances may not look great, but again, context. Bournemouth were woeful as an attacking team until Iriola turned up. As soon as he did, Solanke showed his ability as a striker.
I can understand some of the trepidation with him, but context always needs to be applied when evaluating a player's career to date.
This is the most unexcited I think I've ever been in all my time as a Tottenham fan for such a 'big' signing.
Sell Harry, buy Solanke, nice profit. Same M.O. as usual from ENIC tbh.
Hope he finds his goalscoring touch early tbh.
(6 cockwombles disagreeing with: My levels of excitement, the fact we've made a profit downgrading our forward options or me wanting him to find goals early?)

Agree with you nutter
But what I will say is for 2 seasons Bale was the best player I ever saw watching spurs
The amount of bets my pal won on ‘spurs to win and bale to score’ and variations of the like was laughable
He didn’t do it for long enough to be the greatest but for 2 years imo he was the best.
If Richy is staying, he will have to up his work rate thats for sure!
I'm looking because someone said "can't wait" when I didn't even direct the initial post at him.
what's actually weird is why are you so defensive over an opinion? just ignore my post and move on.
Him and Solanke up front, work rate is about all they have going for them.
Links with Ange’s ‘I want lads who are desperate to be here!’
He will be once he's in the White and Blue
Not quite done yet but finally appears to now be moving that way.
Not quite as pithy as "Here we go"
It’s an uninspiring signing on the face of it. “Bang average” springs to mind.
However, I saw enough early last season to trust Ange to get it right. If we’re firing, we will be unplayable at times. And there’s absolutely no way Levy would have gone on a frolic of his own with a £60+ million “punt”. He’s got to be an Ange request (surely) at that money? Am hoping that he’s everything we need and more. Good luck to him.
