Player Dominic Solanke

Latest Spurs videos from Sky Sports

Absolutely true.

But try as I might, I cannot imagine what must go through big Doms head when he gets the team news and learns that the worst and most useless attacking player (or Black Werner as I suggest to call him on from now) in the clubs recent history still starts ahead of him (like on Tuesday) ?!?

Dom came out of long injury pause and has scored 6 goals with 759 minutes for struggling side.
Goal for every 126 minutes on field is absolutely amazing and does not get enough praise in my view.

kudus coming back would be huge for him
 
Solanke is a very good striker imo. England level.

We’ve got no excuse going down with a fit Solanke. We won’t go down with players like this fit as long as we start playing with some confidence.
He's England level if we're talking about right now, during possibly the worst striker drought in our history.

Sure, he's there if the level is Ivan Toney and Ollie Watkins. If the level is Kane, Rooney, Shearer, Owen, Lineker, Greaves, Hurst etc., he's not close.

I get your point. I'm just not sure this is the best time to hype up a striker as being England level. If it wasn't for Kane, we'd be shit in that position.

He’s playing at the same time as Kane. As a rotation option, sure, but I reckon he could have been a rotation option behind Shearer or Lineker… Steve Bull was next up after Lineker, Solanke is better than Steve Bull was

No he isn't.

Not in terms of goals to games.

Ian Wright, Peter Beardsley, Teddy Sheringham, Les Ferdinand, Matt Le Tissier all better goals to games than Solanke.

Anazing how someone could put Solanke in same comparison bracket as that list. All those guys have scored far more top level goals than dom. More importantly they could all create goals out of nothing. What happened to the famous heading ability of dom.
