I don’t think it’s his body. Something isnt right upstairs it seems poor bloke.
Could be that too but he’s seemed better since he got help.
Either way, it wouldn’t be a shock if he wasn’t here. We might need to bring Solanke first for him to understand that he needs to move though.
Put it this way. If Woolwich were signing Solanke, the "Let's all laugh at gooners" thread would be seeing some pretty heavy traffic right now.
And that's fine yo disagree mate, no manager has a wand, to make things magically happen.
I like the manager I really do, I like what he is trying to do, but he can only work with what he is given.
I am concerned about his tactics because it does look naive at times, but I will give him longer to resolve it, he has to or, we will get repeat results like last season.
I do believe the club could match Woolwich in ambition, sadly though the owners we have just won't risk it to try and achieve sporting glory.

"If you’re doubting Solanke because he has one season of consistent premier league goal output, you’re ignoring so much context.
Look at who he is, what he’s got, what he hasn’t, and how that would look for your team.
People are far too black and white when it comes to assessing players.
Striker A score 20+ goals for 3 seasons in a row. And striker B could score 20 goals in 3 seasons collectively. But it doesn’t NECESSARILY mean I believe striker A would be better for what I want.
This is where you must trust your instinct for assessing players and your knowledge and experience for if you believe the skillsets are transferable for what you want.
When I assess Solanke I see a striker who’s always been a very good footballer. High technical quality and variety, can link play over various distances and angles, has a large area of presence, can ball carry, back to goal, facing goal, runs in behind, variety of finish, good age, excellent athlete and reliable on the injury front as well as an immense presser. Someone who can play for the team. And I would also look at the context as to why last season was his first premier league breakout season in terms of goals scored. I would speak to him on many occasions, understand the person. See him live. Watch tonnes of games to see the context behind everything. And so much more.
The point I’m making is, if you’re purely judging Solanke because it’s not a sexy name from a European league, or because hes only had one high scoring prem season, you are failing to look at so much of what goes into analysing players and recruitment and ignoring context behind all of it."
Pretty much.

and who was it again you would prefer to sign over Solanke?
Agree with all that, Lankshear plus Kulu as back up
Richy was good for about ten games last season when fit, but that’s ten out of about ninety games. Will only get worse imo
100%
Offers a lot, goals or no goals. Aggressive and quick, miles better than Richy or Son as 9
He's not going to answer, just ignore the little rat - his sole purpose on here is to be an agent of chaos not to post anything constructive, he'll fuck off temporarily like he usually does when we sign another player because it's difficult to wind up people who are happy.
Let's not start with words like hate.
I am saying he isn't taking us forward and that talk of big numbers fir his signature is worrying.
It's a sellers' market when it cones to strikers and I can see us getting stung.
What too many are failing to consider is the difference between being a striker for Bournemouth and being one for a club that has massive expectation.
Simply not a special player and my God we need one.
Not even complec to me. If we get him then I will be all in but....

100% agree with you. Nothing against Solanke but he ain't the cherry we need on the top of our cake.
In my opinion.
As i said if this is Postecoglou's preference, then all I hope is that he has laser eyes and is seeing much more than I am.
He’s been shortlisted by people who know a lot more about his skillset than we do. I’d like to think with our recruitment model now, if we’re bringing someone in, it’s for a very good reason!
Back your fans Levy and don’t torture them with a dragged out transfer saga for one player when what the manager and the fans can all see is we need 2 at least
Yup, Gareth Bale and Kyle Walker. 11 years ago and 7 years ago respectively. Both forced a move out, so neither were bought with the intent to flip them for profit, yet that narrative remains.
It's amazing how blind hate alters reality for some people.

That’s what you are basing your opinion on?
