Eh?
Actually scored and one of the few that came out of that game with any credit
I recall the direct phrasing in the club interview was that the players had 'a bit of a chat' - which makes it sound even worse!
He'll be a decent striker in the Champo, when he's available. So 10 games or thereabout
Anyone else find it irrationally irritating when mediocre strikers have special/elaborate goal celebrations? If you're not in the top 5-10 goalscorers in the world, you don't need a unique celebration. The best striker in the world just kisses his wedding ring as a romantic gesture and then jumps for a celebration. I like that. And if it's good enough for him..
Still, at least Solanke is no Cole Palmer.

Did anyone else notice how much harder he worked for the team in the 2nd half when the game was already gone? Best I've seen him chase or fight for balls since joining.
The fight isn't on the manager, it's on each of the players individually getting it into their head and pushing always. That's the reason we find ourselves in this mess. Pampered, half arsed players that used injuries as a justifiable excuse to switch off, focus on the world cup and next season or a move.
It's a classic Tortoise and the Hare scenario playing out.
A 1 point buffer will hit home to a lot of them now. Reality will be kicking in but is it too late?

Total lies.
Hes been chasing and chasing and closing down goalkeepers and defenders since he joined.
Nonsense.... No player/agent would buy that.
Besides if the net outlay amounts to the same it'd make no diff from our end.
I don't especially rate Solanke and would normally be OK with selling if we could get our money back but think he's one we'd be sensible to keep if we get relegated. He's proven he can boss the Champ, won't be overawed by it, and selling Rich simply makes more sense. Also seems to have a pretty decent attitude compared to some others in the squad.
Solanke, Lankshear + 1 new signing would be a solid Championship set of forwards.
If we're doing a cull to raise money, Solanke would be way down the list for me. Get rid of Romero, VdV, Bentancur, Porro, Vicario, Dragusin, Richarlison and probably Xavi or Tel (maybe loans for those 2?) before we sell Dom.

Funny, I was told Woltemade was a different class to any striker we have and that Solanke is shit.
From what I've seen he's a really good player but doesn't suit their style at all. Think Woltemade will do great at the right club.
Dunno why but Solanke feels like a Newcastle player to me. Doesn't feel right as a Spurs player even if I think we should hang on to him if we go down.
In the first half he sat scratching himself. He hardly ran at all.
He chases and closes down yes, but the 2nd half is the best I've seen him do since joining. That's the point I'm making.... why now are we seeing it go up a notch?
Were you asleep for last season?
