Player Dominic Solanke

Latest Spurs videos from Sky Sports

Yeh £65m is like £30-35m 5-10 years ago.

For strikers it gets you decent level but not perhaps world class.
You hit the nail on the head. The market has changed, as markets do. If his performance from the past season is repeatable, and there's little reason to believe it isn't, sixty million is a fair price. It also puts Postecoglou in position to demonstrate that his system works. If you don't get him a striker of Solanke's ability how will you know if it does or doesn't? I'm excited about the signing and I imagine it gives the team a morale boost knowing there's a threat through the middle Spurs didn't have before.
 
I'm fairly positive about Solanke - he fits the profile we need; a physical striker with a bit more presence was something we majorly lacked last season. He's a strong presser and that will fit into our system too.

I guess my reservation is his career goal record is very up and down, but if he can continue where he left off for Bournemouth this will prove to be a good signing.

Given his goal record for Bournemouth and being PL proven I understand the fee, good strikers are like gold dust and you will always overpay for them in today's market.
 
Underwhelming name but when you look deep he fits what we want and has quite afew impressive goals

Change from the norm buying a Prem striker in their prime which is nice to see

The chances we make he will score a ton (hopefully)
 
Hmmm. Not exactly wetting myself with excitement here. Let's wait & see, as my old mum used to say.

Hopefully he'll turn out to be more Sheringham than Soldado. Good luck to him.

Tobi - I've done my homework.
 
I try to be as positive as possible all the time, but from highlight videos he seems to have the shooting prowess of Gabriel Jesus. I hope I’m wrong.
 
was either him or toney, lets hope weve got the right one.

hopefully he can strike up an early understanding with someone like kulu or something. otherwise hell struggle to get quality service. we got a lot of numbskulls in them wide positions.
