How do you know he’d given us his word lol
I'm probably exaggerating. I just know we've had his family in a box the last 2 seasons and have done untold groundwork. We've been trying to find ways to pay his release clause for the last 12 months, and I was under the opinion that we'd finally cracked it and were set to exercise it next week. Maybe Eze was always holding out for something else. I just got the impression he wanted to come to us. There is no doubt he told us he'd come but that was before our rivals came in.

I think you probably are exaggerating
 
I think we’re contractually obliged to play him in that game.
Modern day football!

See where Gyorkes goes this season then have the conversation then, he's had a hot streak for a very good side that play championship level opposition for three quarters of their league games. If Chris Wood went to Sporting Lisbon they'd be building him a statue outside the stadium in 3 years (I'm taking the piss).

The thing is I've watched Solanke play 40 odd games this season, I think he will turn out to be well worth the money. He's just a very good all round player and has about 5 seasons left of top level football. It's all personal opinions, I just don't get how anyone who's watched us this year can think Solanke was poor considering our form.
27 PL games played...9 goals.

45 games and 16 goals across all comps.

Very much ignored at international level.

But yeah he was unreal, it was like watching Ronaldo Fenomeno.
