They paid €6m for him in Jan 2019....... He would have effectively had 6 months left on his deal (had it not been terminated) when he joined us.
Did they get a Loan Fee from Fulham? ....Are they being chased for 1 years worth of his contract value?
Didn't we already give them the proceeds of our pre-season game? Bollocks to them...... They need to go speak to UEFA, not us.... They're the one's the terminated his contract; not us.
Solomon is already age 24, so whilst I hope he does improve, he's not a youngster breaking into mens football where the improvements can be very large.
He's an improvement on Moura who in his last couple of years really wasn't really very good, but when you consider our forwards are now Son, Richarlison, Johnson, Kulusevski, Gil, Solomon and youngster Veliz he's probably on a par with Gil as 5th/6th choice.
He's a bit too much of a conventional winger who needs space, and most of our opponents in PL are not going to go toe to toe with us, so he won't have much space and that means he may find it difficult to make an impression. But he'll get some minutes to show what he can do without space, and that may allow him to show different skills which make him more useful to Spurs.
But it wouldn't be a surprise to me to see him being upgraded next summer and there's a few in the academy who may get minutes in his place before then - u21's are top of their league having scored 29 goals in 8 games so far, so several u21 forwards may deserve their chance.

He'll be sold for profit in a couple of seasons I reckon.
Yeah, whilst I can’t see him becoming a baller, there’s no reason he won’t improve over time with the right coaching. He’s still relatively new, and has only had a few bit parts… let’s see where we are come January. If he’s not showing signs and now perisic is injured it might force our hand
Why can't and of them do what Tony Galvin could go wide and put in an accurate cross...
Is Gil back training? Santiago might get a chance otherwise
“The meniscus injury, is supposed to be operated on tomorrow”

Gil’s training again, so it might be his time
Think Bryan Gill is back, I’d imagine we might go
Richarlison Veliz Kulusevski
That is with Son, Solomon, Johnson and Perisic injured.

Annoying thing is Sonny is 100% gonna want to travel with SK even if he should rest up for a couple of weeks.

Rich / Veliz / Porro

Insert some pace and crossing up top with Porro.
Double up with CAMs in behind them for more creativity.
....and have Emerson sit in a little more than usual.

His second major injury in two seasons now. I’d cash in in the summer

It’s why with our bare squad missing Europe was a blessing. We’d have finished our team if we where in the Conference League.
Not a bad side
