Player Dominic Solanke

Latest Spurs videos from Sky Sports

Surprised there's not been much mention of Dom as captain.

Early doors in his Spurs career but he's always turning up and bringing the energy despite playing most of our matches. Tremendous hold-up play, good eye for a pass and will score more as we upgrade our wingers. Wears his heart on his sleeve.
 
Fantastic tonight again, his work rate as always tremendous but his strength and skill for his assist was brilliant and a toenail away from a goal which he really deserved
 
I can under people criticising his finishing (it’s not elite like Kane or Son) but his all round play is superb. People who don’t rate him just don’t understand football. Football isn’t just stats.
 
Kind of remarkable in this disaster season that we somehow managed to break our transfer forward and record signing curse. Some player.

Ultimately it is only stats . Goals for and goals against.
If you buy a striker and he does not get goals and assists - other teams who buy one who does - is very , very likely to have an advantage .
If you buy a defender who doesn't - it matter a lot less .
Solanke - does get some goals and assists - and he was excellent tonight.
 
😂

Impressively wrong

Solanke’s hold up play is legitimately close to Kane levels.
He’s definitely quick and we see it every game.
Runs with the ball every game too.
Underrated passer and has regularly scored from the edge of the box last season

What are you watching mate?

How many goals has he scored for the edge of the box?
And if he was all you say he was - surely he would have been in the England squad,and clubs would have been queuing up to buy him - long before he was 27.
He had a great games tonight - and I would be delighted for him to prove me wrong
 
His pressing is just unreal. I kept thinking why does he keep pressing the keeper he's gonna be fucked later in the game but he just doesn't stop! Absolutely relentless and we won the ball back a few times when Alisson was rushed into a pass.
 
I didn't think he was having his best night for us but his play leading to the goal just summed him up really. I do have a soft spot for a striker with all round game and he certainly has that. Son gets shoved off of that ball leading up to the goal.
 
Solanke could turn out to be one of our worst ever signings , not because he is that bad
But because he cost£65m and is always picked.
He is a mediocre - no other top 6 or even top 8 club would buy him.
He has been better than I thought he would be - and is in course for around 12 goals and three assists . Which is not good enough for someone who plays all the time - for a top 6 club.

It might even be better if he was very bad - then he would be dropped.
But being just mediocre - means because of the fee -he will play. Which means for the next couple of years we will have an average player as our main front player. It shows a lack of ambition and judgement .
Buy bottom half players - and you become a bottom half team

Clueless nonsense.
