Player Dominic Solanke

[Bergvallclass]

Regarding Igor's quotes on fitness levels, Solanke is probably one of the players he is talking about - Solanke's intensity under Ange was impressive but damaging, as evidenced by injuries.

Solanke played poorly today though. We need more from him.

 

[VonnegutBusy]

He's never a top 8 PL player.
We've signed so many of these types that inevitably we have dropped well clear of the top half.

 

[Notabadsquad]

Shit or not, hasn’t lived up to the fee we paid.
Perhaps everyone can at least agree on that.

That's right.

Look at a whole load of players at present. Delap for example at filth club. He won't make it there. Not good enough. Same with Solanke and us, but sadly, although he was good in the Europa last season, his signing is part of that spiral.

Same with a player like Spence, and a few, but not all the players we have bought in the last 4 or 5 years. Seemed okay to the neutral but not really of the necessary quality.

Solanke is an honest player and reasonable. If he and Richarlison can stay fit until the end of the season, as well a ls a hardworking Tel, I think they will save us.

If we have to rely on Muani, we are going nowhere even faster than it appears.

Solankes a good player but he’s not going to create goals out of nothing for himself. He needs players around him to work off.

That's correct, and the same for Richarlison.

If Tudor can get the players to create chances, these 2 are capable of finding the net.

Yep, spending big money on ok mid table prem players has been a disaster and big part of the position we are in. Hojberg, solanke, richarlison and the like

And yet al 3 mentioned here have given their all.

It's just that they weren't of the right quakity to push us forward.

It's not easy but equally we are where we are as a result.

Not sure Hojberg is to blame for where we are now

Yes mate, but a huge proportion championed the Solanke signing. You go back and you will see it.

I wasn't one, but I don't blame him, and the truth is how many better strikers have there been or were around then and since?

 

[Richard Arlison]

Hes a good hold up striker.

Why the fuck can’t we just play a ball on the ground to him to hold it up?

 

[whenstevewentup]

I’ve no idea where he was playing today or what our formation was .

He was playing like a number 10. Didn’t work. Much better right up against the cbs.

 

[Hampshire Spur]

Starting to think solanke is with us to sabotage us. Has gooner connections. Id put him on the transfer list in summer. Garbage.

Its cos the shit board have a 2nd rate mentality trying to be clever and making a gamble on a player. They need to get out. I hope Staveley and her crew take over. 20 years is long enough for enic.

He was played in midfield today from what I could tell.

The fact you've already lowered your standard to "Top 8" rather than "Top 4" shows the massive chasm between what we project as a club versus reality.

It’s so fucking Spurs that we have 4 fit forwards and they all want to play CF

RKM and Solanke just doesn’t fucking work. At least we know that now

It might if they both played up top with runners getting on the second balls.

But Solanke running around in midfield like a headless chook was an utterly bizarre decision. Almost like Tudor wants him to do a Joelinton

I bet that’s not what Tudor wanted

But he really needs to figure out what he does want and make it very simple for them.
