My word is that sarcasm!I was always hoping one day we will sign Solanke, I have been admiring his play for the last so many seasons, dream signing.

Bcos he will be when season starts
What’s the 20% got to do with it that is bournmouths problem not ours. £35M or £65M thru would still have to pay it. We have actually given dippers some nice funds.
All BSDid Paul o Fraud actually say that 7 or 8 weeks ago though? that Solanke was our main target?
I remember him as of a few weeks ago saying we are looking at him as well as other strikers he listed. Why didn't he say then that he was the main target?
Love it top target! Don’t recall anyone going on about solanke last season or earlier in the summer. £65M for someone who has had one good season and all of a sudden he fits Ange’s system. Then why not just get him soon as window opened. That is the biggest counter to this top target BS I keep hearing. If he was then he would have been on that plane to the far east and we wouldn’t have been playing kulu as a false 9. Even richi went and he was injured. Let’s see what he can do but I don’t believe this BS about top target.57m and we get our top target plus a HG player so we can find the best deal for a winger without having to overpay for any other HG winger
But if we made our interest known months ago solanke would still have been desparate to come. Why would it be different now for him?My guess is we were also looking at other strikers who were less keen- hence Ange emphasised yesterday the importance of a player being desperate to come.
Exactly he did that in v Fulham in the league cup if you recall. He said how else can he analyse players. Davies and a few others were shit yet he still played them through out the season.Ange had to assess our squad and options - despite already being here a whole season
Nor is Neto !
Imagine the cunt-offs on here!!!Eze and Chiesa. Just do it bald cunt.
That will leave us at about 120m net spend... same as West Ham.
Will be done by Christmas!Call him a fantastic piece of business when he's scored min 50 for us. As of now it's pushing it a bit.
I'm excited about him joining and wish him the very best, but he's got a lot to prove. Especially seen his mad pricetag.
Past or present?
So what’s your point? Have bought someone who is 26 or will be 27 in a few weeks! Either way he is not exactly young with potential. He has been around for a good few years and no one I mean no one has thought that solanke is a great player let’s spend £65M on him.
I agree. Skipp has value for sure but maybe less so too a team like Wolves whose pretty stacked in the midfield.It's a pretty reasonable bid for an extremely talented winger with a very questionable injury record.
Anything more is too risky.
Lol.Our current starting lineup as I see it ...
Vic/ Austin
Romero/Drag Vdv/ Davies
Porro/Gray Udogie/Spence
Biss/Benta
Bergvall/Sarr Madders/Kulu
TBD/ Johnson Son/Werner
Solanke/Rich
Johnson first choice, to be determinedLol.
Johnson is first choice. Scored or assisted 20% of our goals last season in a limited role in his first season with the club. Buncha weirdos around this place.
Kulu 2nd choice, Eze into the AM rotation with Maddison.
