Levy paid sixty million for a player that makes Anderton look like a man of steel.
At least Solanke managed 38 games last season, scoring for fun in let's he honest with an average attacking side.
Did Richy go on tour, or a far East holiday?

You asked for signals, I gave you one.
You seriously expect to get a "balanced" viewpoint from the fans of other clubs? LOL.
Apparently available for £10m
Could be one of those we sign and send back on loan tbh.
He can't even stay fit for a pre-season.
Still seeing reports that we are interested in RBs if Royal leaves.
I don’t see practice sessions obviously, but Spence has convinced me he can provide needed cover. (Not to mention Gray)
Much rather save the $ for striker and a RW.
Can’t pretend I have watched Solanke enough to know if he’s what we need, but pickings do seem slim for any sure fire option.
I’d love Eze, but really think RW is next must fix spot. Johnson is effective in some situations, but need someone for the low blocks we see so often.
If we did get Solanke, Eze, and a viable RW, really think we could challenge. (Big IF of course)

Be 23 this season, he should be ready right now if we are interested

Has looked good at the Olympics for sure
Anyone seen how he's been at Reims?

Very interesting player and profile. I'm over the moon that we're looking at 6/8 solutions as it's clear that without Bissouma our midfield has fuck all press resistance.
I'm not going to pretend I've watched him a bunch but I find his movement incredibly rare at that height, and he has real foot skills. His dad was a superstar NBA player too which intrigues me.
Btw, part of our set piece defending issues is a lack of headers. Son won’t on either side of the pitch. VdV isn’t a great header despite hit height. Can’t think of anyone besides Romero and Royal really that consistently wins those duels.
Am I missing someone?
Solanke is tall, how is he in the air? Kane was always so good on defensive headers.

I might have seen him but if I have I don’t remember it?
Sorry.

Think it’s more the 6 imo.
We have reasonable talent/depth at the 8.
But if Biss is out or not playing well, no one I have confidence in that role.
Yeh Solanke is fine in terms of competition/replacement for Richarlison but we still need Eze/Neto if we want to make an go of it with City/Arse/Pool and the betting would be we won’t do that.
I think Gray can grow into that role but he's clearly a bit behind where we'd like him to be at the price we've paid for him. No alarm bells yet or anything just don't believe he's ready right now. Which is concerning given the fee.
He's left-footed as well, which ties in with my conspiracy theory about Ange's plan for squad depth by having loads of players with midfielder skill sets that can play FB and CB. Burger is the same, so is Archie Gray.
According to my theory (which I've completely made up) we sign this guy or Burger and they get minutes at #6, LCB, or LB. Then Archie Gray also gets some minutes at #6, RCB, or RB. Then we only need Spence as the specialist rotation FB. Means we could let Skipp and or Bentancur go, then replace them and the back up LB/LCB with one player in the squad.
Michael Ray Richardson.. before my time but that is some good athletic stock.
One of the things that really makes Solanke interesting is that he's a basketball level athlete.
Post of the day.
You don't need to be an expert to see that Richy is a busted flush, injury prone and even when fit cannot hold the ball up worth a shit.
Bitches constantly, and looks fucked after the first thirty minutes. As bad a signing money wise as N'Dombele.
Mistake made, move on and get rid.

Osimhen is Bergkamp good? Never when I've seen him.
I don’t rate Osimhen, never have
He’s a poacher, nothing more
