Player Dominic Solanke

Latest Spurs videos from Sky Sports

Oh yeah! Even worse. Only ever season he scored a lot in top flight at 27. Wonder why it’s gone wrong.
Who'd ever have seen that coming?!

Think he's a talented player which is why he's in the England squad. Looks like he''s completely checked out at Tottenham though.

He’s in it because after Kane we have no talented strikers. Ivan Toney got a call up from fucking Saudi earlier in the season. Calvert bloody Lewin is in the squad.

By the time the World Cup comes about it’ll be Watkins as despite form he’s the best option available.
 
Solanki or any striker playing for Spurs, will be trying to impress while scraping the barrel of meagre possession. Our ball retention and passing isn't good enogh to create enough opportunities for strikers from open play. Set pieces is more often than not our only avenue of attack, against two lumbering CB's we're fighting a losing battle. Sels apart from the save from Tel had very little to do, even though we dominated from corners and throw ins for most of the first half. We don't offer nearly enough for opponents to worry about.

Like Richarlison, Johnson and Gallagher this looked an awful acquistion at the time and has proven so.

Overpaying for middling PL tat has slowly but surely dragged the quality of this squad to the gutter. The prem proven element is such shite unless you are buying the very best available (see: Semenyo, Guehi, Rice).
For the 210m+ spunked on those 4 we could have brought in 5 or 6 non-PL players with much higher technical floors.
 
Not good enough.

Yet another overpriced Levy special.

You see, that's such nonsense.

Many on here were more than pleased we bought the bloke. The majority.

I don't rate him that highly but mostly because of his mentality.

He is decent but like all our players he looks worse at present and offers us too little.

It's just so boring to blame Levy for every poor signing.

What about Son, Alli, Eriksen, Dembele, etc......

Solanke has been average for us and right now when we need performances he isn't delivering. That's it.
 
I don't think he's that bad tbf, but he's a striker to play alone, playing him with Richarlison just make the two worse. But he's never a 60 million player and he should never be the main striker in a team that is supposet to be big six. That's exactly the kind of decision that makes us be in a relegation battle today.
 
Him and Richarlatan is definitely a strike partnership I don’t want to see more of.

It’s atrocious.

They’re too samey. It’s a weird partnership to go with in 2026. Neither is really a foil for the other, they both (at their best) hassle and harass but it’s all a bit mediocre & when you’re sacrificing a midfielder for one of them it doesn’t make much sense.
