It’s not about whether the stays at the club, it’s about whether he buys in. He played lollygag defense for about 20 matches this season then finally locked in when it came time to get a trophy. We can’t afford that across the CL/PL grind next year.

He’ll be a quality second striker or option off the left with some proper coaching.
Frank is a proper coach. Not had that since Poch
Who have we not signed today?
So more or less what we paid for Odobert and a lot less than Gray. Worth it at that price tbh.
I was actually going to use Lineker as an example, but couldn't be arsed because the guy is a bell end!
I don't think you're too wide of the mark either, with Solanke. All strikers thrive off service, if we can get that sorted then Solanke should be able to "tap" his way to a 15-20 goal season in the league.
He didn't. He actually said that he wouldn't swap the first and couldn't make his mind up on which one he would, just that he'd definitely swap on of the league title wins, not just one of his trophies.
Just under £30m.
Not fully convinced he's going to excel next season in terms of goals and assists, but we do now have the right manager in Frank and staff to coach him, so his development might be faster than I think !
Before anyone gets too excited about this, the info is from Turkey. We've had multiple windows of Turkish "info" previously that turned out to be moonbeams and rainbows.
Great fucking deal. The kid is a natural talent, and with some decent coaching he'll turn into a star. And most importantly, he has a great attitude. Always wants to speak to fans after the game, and really liked being here.
Meh. Hopefully Frank can get the best out of him but he was not impressive to me this season.
I don't see Tel as a pure winger or as a lone striker, meaning he always looked like a bit of a square peg in a round hole with the previous manager. But there's a reason why there was a tug of war of him between big clubs only 4 months ago.
If he had set the world on fire in his loan spell, and would therefore have his pick of clubs this summer.. Would he be professing his love for us in interviews and as desperate to stay? Probably not. But I'm not precious about that.. He never really had that momentum to get up to speed in terms of match fitness or sharpness.. Pre Season under his belt and lets see what he can do. Hopefully, its been given the green light by Frank and he thinks he can work with him rather than a signing that he's just been given.

No one was really, let alone a 19 year old being expected to "star" in the most dysfunctional season we've had in decades, after only just joining.
He's 19 and had just moved to the most physical league in the World. The kid is special. With a bit of nurturing he has an even higher potential than Son. Good thing is that now we have a proper tactician to coach him.
Banks like lending money to clubs with steady income streams - they much prefer property to players due to risk of injury as you said and require insurance etc
But the key thing is the club income streams as players are a very poor form of security ..... and banks demand security
Hopefully this is the only kid we sign this summer unless it's an obvious one for our u21s. We have enough youngsters in squad at min, we need to get more experience in.
38m GBP with loan fee also included. A bit steep considering what he's shown to date but I do expect a proper coach/system to get more out of him.
Still very young.
Still very young.

The tap in merchant confirming Tel is done
Not yet he hasn't, no "here we go" in his tweet.
That sounds awfully like ambition , not sure you and Daniel are on the same page
