If we were Chelsea we would somehow get Palace to buy him for the £60 million they just received.

There’s dodgy stuff going on which will probably emerge in the next few years. Especially with Chelsea and Woolwich.
Not quite true, got 2 assists and played well generally in our big win at Burnley a couple of seasons back....but yes, i can't remember any other game...
They were very very basic assists. I remember the game, he wasn’t good, he was average in a dominant team
and I think both to Son who was on a run and scored - and Son would not be the player you bet against scoring.
Did well in Championship for Leeds and ok for Fulham where he was often on bench (scored 5 goals in 24 appearances in all competitions). I don't think Solomon improves the Spurs squad, just takes up a place where we need a better quality forward.
Would be happy to see us do a swap deal with Leeds utd Soloman for Wilfried Gnonto he is a magician
I think Soloman is a great player too but he's been very unfortunate with injuries since he arrived and as a winger who relies heavily on pace and trickery the types of injuries he has suffered dont bode well for any consistency

Solomon is aged 26 and highly unlikely to improve from what he has achieved so far in his career. Scored 5 goals in all competitions for PL Fulham in one season. Will take up one of 17 overseas trained places in PL or CL squads - and we have far better candidates.
Tel is aged 20 and is supposed to have huge potential, although I don;' think we've seen anything tangible to justify that as yet. Scored 3 goals in half a season for Spurs. Would not take up a PL squad place, but would take up a CL squad place (so no need to nominate in CL squad, he only plays PL and domestic cups if that is our choice)
Neither enticing atm, although Tel has a far better chance of improving than Solomon, Truth is I'd prefer someone better than either to be registered in CL squad.
Thr political stuff - is basically saying we don't want a player because he is Jewish..
We should not being excluding anyone based on their race.
Leeds fans want him.
On the football side- given our needs I can't see any reason not to give him a season.
Just to put this thread to bed, Frank just name checked his 6 forward players and Solomon wasn’t named
Once we receive a half decent bid he is gone.
Not sure that's the reason (although it probably is for some). I think he pissed a load of people off liking a tweet or something. I can't remember the specifics right now.
Pretty ignorant take
It's not because he's Jewish, don't be silly, it's because of his takes on the Gaza war.
I'd be open to giving him a chance until January if no Eze alternative can be signed.

And a sell-on clause.
I'd say mainly political, with a sprinkling of "because he's not our level" and possibly a dash of antisemitism (giving the benefit of the doubt to the vast majority of those who say it's political). Personally I find it hard to criticize someone who tweeted in anger after his county suffered a sneak attack and 1,200 civilians brutally beaten, raped, murdered, and kidnapped. Now I'm sure I'm going to get buried for saying so...
