Those days have long gone.
Spurs are 2nd highest goal scorers in PL behind Liverpool atm, despite our injuries this season.
That's because Spurs operate as a team with 5 high scoring players (including Solanke, all of whom will end the season on circa 25 goal involvements each ) as well as others contributing. Solanke acts as a focal point and presses very effectively allowing space for others to score - so he doesn't need to justify his place on goals alone.
That's why Spurs are missing him atm, his work rate and pressing are hard to replace
He has seven goals and three assists - puts him about 25th in the PL.
Now we have other players back - am not sure we will miss him that much .
Scarlett could be useful.
Its clear from this response you place no value on either team work or pressing etc which is why you are unable to evaluate players contribution
I would not say no value - but do you really think you should buy a striker for £60m because he is good at pressing?
It can be useful - but you don't even necessarily want him to knacker himself out by chasing around whilst we have not got the ball.
Used it before, but worth repeating, Didier Drogba.
First season at Chelsea 10 Goals 5 Assists.
Supporters not impressed, Mourinho defends him, hailing his overall contributions to the team.
Solanke whilst not having Dogbas’ ceiling, is very similar in making the team much better, due to his knitting and putting team before self.
Bournemouth doing fine without him
Solanke is a good player and fits our team!
Not just Zidane. Iniesta never once scored double figures in a season for Barca. That’s in 15 years as an attacking midfielder. The Spanish will unanimously say he’s one of their greatest ever players.
I think that British football is especially stat obsessed. It doesn’t seem quite as bad in Europe.
I like stats but they can 100% be misleading both ways. A player can score 4 in a game then do fuck all for three more games and technically be on 4 in 4. And a player can score a goal and then do nothing for 89 minutes and on paper do more than a player who causes issues all game but doesn’t score or assist at all.
Consistency of end product and influence in games are just as important as the raw data itself.
I like Solanke a lot - his numbers aren’t bad and he influences games and generally does positive stuff.
If you do not rate Solanke in our team then you know very little about football. Do you even watch games. I’m not saying we cannot get a better CF, but given our squad he is almost first name on the team sheet.
Vic, Spence,, Solanke, Van de Ven
First four names if whole squad was fit
Let's see how we do without him?
We did better last year before he joined.
Just saying he is important does not make it true.
