I can help with that. Its Lange. Apparently he moves like a Ninja, he's been in the boardroom at Bournemouth since the season ended but nobody knows the dudes there!

Is that actual footage???

Incidentally GLC and Reggie both have contracts until 2025 so IMO we will be lucky to get any kind of fee for either.
Royal's is up in 2026 so we really need to get him gone this window.
 
17 at Chelsea. 19 at Liverpool.

Don't get how some use it as a stick to beat him with.

We have young strikers at our club who haven't even played 90 minutes of mens football at the same age.

(Not trying to knock our players but just adding some context)

Honestly, im still awfully underwhelmed by Solanke, add to that the extortionate over pricing.... (he is 27 in 1 month, only 1 good season still 65M even at 55m naaaaah!)

Regarding your post, one thing i will say at chavski scum very highly rated , excelled in his age range he was hampered there Jose Prickiniho n Antonio who refuse to blood young players, the former completely inept at it, this prob cost him a couple of yrs in development & negated him being ahead of the curve in his age group.

At Scouse wanks he only played three 90mins in PL n averaged only 27 mins on pitch per game over 21 PL matches (ok still only 20) but atleast there was a good attempt to blood him in , however with Mane / Salah, Firmino all in peak pomp he was never breaking through lets be honest. (20M for unproven player who was on a free & not breaking into 1st goo biz for Scouse, very good money for a player like him in 2017/18)

At Bournemouth excelled in champ for 2 seasons, however in PL his record is well below average..
  • Bournemouth : 113 PL Games - 28 Goals --- (19 of them only last season) .. 65M erm nah(27yr)
People may disagree i'd rather we get someone like Vlahovic, in terms of quality, consistency, age/potential/growth, value for money
  • Serie A : 184 games - 78 Goals --- 55M (24yr)
    • A proper Number 9,
    • A Strong n Powerful
    • Great in the Air / Great finisher
    • Hold up play
    • Great presser
    • Very good Stamina
    • Speed / Pace same as solanke
 
Gut wrenching, isn’t it?

I supported the new stadium because I really thought the rationale they provided of being able to compete made complete sense.

Now we’ve sold Kane for £100m and less than 12 months later are still yet to find a replacement and at the same time pedalling the ‘we need to sell to buy’ line.

It’s so sad.

So close, but so far.
I’ve said for ages it’s a foolhardy mission to try and find a player to directly replace Kane. Anybody else attainable is a downgrade.

Besides, You’d think the players who *started* games as the striker last season didn’t score 24 goals combined - with only 1 penalty from that position.

The wide areas are where we are really struggling for productivity and just keeping the ball in the final 3rd.
 
Richarlison has been physically and mentally where he would want to be for approximately 2 months of his time with us.. But for those 2 months, he was one of the most prolific striker in europe.

I just feel like pushing him out the door would've felt premature. For me, the first approach should be to try and see if we can get him back into that place for a sustainable period of time. If so, then we've got Brazil's number 9.

And the fact that he's turning down the possibility of a massive increase financially, because he wants to play for us. Maybe I'm soft, but that can't be taken for granted and I think that warrants us giving him a further chance.
