If you give him great service in the box (oh matron!) he'll fill his boots with goals, he's a quality finisher.

But that's a scenario in which the players providing the service are doing all the work and creating all the value. Richy would score those goals, Tel would score those goals.

What Solanke can elevate himself with is just those little scrappy moments from nothing, flicking on a teammate in transition, nicking a turnover while pressing, scruffing in a rebound, etc. He's got natural ability for that stuff. We didn't extract enough from that last season.
I just think he needs service, doesn't have to be that great imo, great first time finisher with head and both feet, holds up play well. Feel like if he's in a functioning team he just scores. Don't feel like Bournemouth set their team up to feed Solanke they were just pretty good which we just weren't last year.

I'm happy with Solanke as a starting 9, just worried with Richarlison being the only real backup spending 70 percent of the season dead.

Looks like this is definitely happening now

I assume he replaces Bissouma and his consistency = upgrade, even if he couldn't nail down a regular starting place at Bayern due to competition.

A loan might free up more cash to upgrade on Richarlison as a forward able to cover LW and or striker

not believing it until i see him holding up a placenta from his last child's birth.. or something...
 
Nah i feel it in my bones. I think we're having to be smart (and cheap) in one area to facilitate a bigger signing.
Its happening, I don't know who but likely a LW. Not many options available aside from simons or rodrygo, unless somebody else becomes available. Maybe psg get rodrygo amd look to offload barcola or someone.

Im optimistic!

Name checks out indeed.

But you're gonna be rather underwhelmed if you've got your sights set on the likes of rodrygo , Simons and the like
 
But I want to see Frank backed, and that means spending some big money to sign other teams elite players to make us better.
TBF, we hired a manager who spent decades as a youth coach and I don't think it was coincidental. I don't think "backing Frank" looks like what you think it does.

Like Poch, he wasn't brought to Spurs to buy a squad for. He was brought to Spurs to get players like VDV, Spence, Johnson, Odobert, Bergvall, Sarr, etc. to kick on and become the next generation of top Spurs talent
 
Does seem like the anti-Kompany player. Kompany’s style is very similar to Pep unlike Arteta who ignored Pep and prefers the tactics of Moyes.
