True, Eze and Salvinio both make logical sense though. Not just take a punt on a player based on age or price, you can see the thinking and it makes sense.

Sure the backwards scorpion kick 8 feet in the air is super high xGSolanke is finishing a high % of those. None of them were difficult finishes.
No one knew his name 2 weeks ago (most still don't) but apparently he's better than Savinho and EzeBilal El Khannouss. He's basically hipster catnip for some reason.

Getting BEK instead of Savlon will really stingNo one knew his name 2 weeks ago (most still don't) but apparently he's better than Savinho and Eze
He’s a loser baby
Imagine the worst premier league player you can think of. And then imagine them in Sunday league football.Think you got that the wrong way round, mate -
No footballer playing in the Premier League is Average.
This idea that they are comes from fans being sad when they don't play well.
There are over 125,000 professional footballers registered across the world - perhaps 30,000 odd in England alone
About 500 senior players are registered to play in the prem.
To reach that level, you simply cannot be average.
You can look worse than others around you due to any number of factors.... wrong position, wrong team, wrong coach, etc.
But average? It's just a lazy narrative by folks who do not understand the game beyond caring about whether their teams win or lose.
No we don't. We have 1 hour to sign players to play Burnley. That's not all fronts.We have 1 hour and 2 minutes left to sign 3 players we need to be “ready” to compete on all fronts. #levytime
Problem across the board really. Man United and Woolwich struggling even more. Garnacho and Trossard would be a level or two above Solomon and they are struggling to sell them just as much.
Chelsea just do shady stuff that really should be illegal. Selling Felix for a profit should have set of alarm bells everywhere.
Liverpool and City seem to get good prices but that's probably because of what they've won. Its no shame on Harvey Elliott not getting into that Liverpool title winning team. Its no shame on Mcatee not being able to break into that City midfield. However, its embarassing enough that Garnacho was struggling for starts int he worst ever United team, Trossard couldn't start ahead of an out of form martinelli for a team that ultimately failed, and Soloman wasn't wanted by a Spurs team who finished 17th!

Assuming some utter bellend doesn't just end them out of spite, that poor PL player is going to boss that match.

It used to, some years ago, not any more though.Interesting fact about Spain too. La Liga works on head to head, not goal difference.
If a prime Barcelona with Messi are playing a bottom 6 team, it doesn't matter to them if they lose 1-0 or 10-0
So why don't we kill him
I think I can disprove your comment ref worst premier league player in a pub team , however he is the exception that proves the ruleImagine the worst premier league player you can think of. And then imagine them in Sunday league football.

TBH, it also pisses me off when some football hating borderline communist says footballers shouldn't be allowed to earn £100k a week.Yeah man, it pissed me off no end seeing these kids get called shit and average by people who, I'm pretty certain, aren't even close to being in the top 5% of their profession
He wasn't a premier league player, he was a con artist.I think I can disprove your comment ref worst premier league player in a pub team , however he is the exception that proves the rule

Graeme Souness reveals Untold Story of Southampton misfit Ali Dia - 'We knew he was hopeless'
Graeme Souness: He was everywhere the ball had just been. It was as if hed never been on a football pitch beforewww.skysports.com
He was a con artist but he would have to have been a registered player for a premier league club and he got on the pitch . He meets the criteria of worst PL player of all time , in fact TBF he smashes itHe wasn't a premier league player, he was a con artist.
There's probably been streakers on a pitch with more talent.
