Stumbled our way into another decent deal in RKM. I think he’s a good fit for what Frank likes in his attacking players, and we’ve been linked for some time.

Not sure where I sit with RKM. I'm glad we signed someone because we lack options in the front 3. He just never kicked on when he joined PSG and his career has stagnated. Hopefully Frank can unlock him because there is huge potential there but you'd have to be worried about him just becoming the next Werner/Tel.

Anyone is preferable to Richarlatan lumbering about up there. If Solanke is broken we need someone else. This guy will have to do.

I mean I've a feeling they could be similar enough. Richarlison on a going day (PSG he held the ball up fine, Burnley he scored 2 brilliant goals) is great but his bad days are so so bad. From what I hear about RKM he is quiet similar, but hopefully his floor is alot higher than Richarlion who can just drop some unforgivable stinckers.
 
Watched Juve quite a bit last season and when RKM first went he was on fire. Great feet for a big guy and can shift. Seen him wide and through the middle and impressed me a lot. Seen him for PSG and France and never thought he was great.

I do think he’s the type we need. Big,quick strong lad who can play anywhere across the front.

Players in the last year of the contract that we have no need for, can't offload, we can sometimes come to a settlement to pay them off and allow them to find another club.

Never have we, or would we ever, pay off a usable player, who can be loaned out or sold with 3 years of his contract.
basically what you are suggesting is instead of

a) using the player in our squad
b) loaning the player out and earning loan fees, and other teams picking up his salary
c) selling the play

You are basically saying instead of all those possible benefits, Manor take £10 million and leave.

As I say, you don't understand how these things work, therefore haven't thought things through at all, and shown zero logic.

That's more to do with the depreciation on our books but Solomon joined us on a free so it wouldn't be an issue. If he wants to play football and has clubs interested in him on a free then mutually terminating would be in both his and our interest, thus a mutual agreement. The b) and c) are irrelevant because we haven't thus far been able to loan him or sell him. Doubt there's any serious plans to use him in the squad either, no chance he'll be registered for Europe.
