Player Dominic Solanke

Latest Spurs videos from Sky Sports
To sum up my thoughts: Solanke is basically the most complete forward in the entire market.
You look at every aspect of a striker’s game in modern football he has it.
Aerially good. Strong frame at 6’2”, plays with his back to goal well. Smart passer. Can dribble. Wins headers in both boxes on set pieces. Can both be an outlet on the break with his pace and an intermediary a la Kane. He had a great understanding with Semenyo running off of him. Good technically, not afraid of using his left foot (although much better with his right). Scores all types of goals. Most importantly he is a demonic presser, great engine and intelligent too. Has the right mentality as well, no diva in him, hard working and moves on after a missed chance too.
He’s basically a 7 or 8/10 minimum in all attributes and will be a focal point for us. The issue is he’s not really above an 8/10 in any aspect of the game. He's not a great finisher, he’s not a physical monster, he’s not some technical wunderkind. So it is a bit much. But I think he will elevate our attack so much to have a focal point in there and an outlet in transition. Happy with this.
Look at the torrid time he gave Woolwich a couple weeks ago:

Big Bad Dom.
Guessing 11 although the pressure of following Bryan could be too much
19 available too.
Him and Richi is good competition for that striker position.
People saying "Really? £65m?" 65m is nothing in this current market, this isn't the 90s lads lol.
Good signing imo, still need some more but it's a good start.

Richarlison Part 2
Levy is a joke

Gave our defence a battering when we fluked that 3-1 win at WHL. Hit the bar with a header in the first half when they were bossing it from 25 mins onwards.
Edit
deflected shot onto bar. His header was well saved
Tottenham 3-1 Bournemouth: Pape Sarr, Heung-Min Son and Richarlison score to close gap on top four
Pape Sarr and Heung-Min Son delivered Tottenham parting gifts before Richarlison secured a 3-1 victory over in-form Bournemouth to close the gap on the top four to one point.

Destroyed us the year before too. Got a goal and two assists when they beat us 3-2
Da fuck is it anyway? His face looks like a walnut whip!
Okay, I'm convinced. Two more signings and we're the dog's bollocks this season.
