Clubs want to tie players down to protect the return, it’s just we are dog shit at selling.

Solomon was a free pick up, so offloading him for anything is a bonus.
Solomon's entire deal over 5 seasons costs us £15m, taken down to probably between £10-12m depending on how his Leeds loan was worked out financially, idk why anyone is expending energy getting angry over signing him when we will easily profit regardless when it comes selling up time. Werner's loans probably cost the club more than Solomon will over 5 years.
 
We have £30m tied up in Odobert who needs at bare minimum a rotation role to keep his value up, a season on the treatment table followed by being frozen out sees him become another Gil going for a nominal fee or nothing at the end of his deal.

I’ve been saying all summer he needs a season out on loan to play. If he does that and gets 20 plus PL games he will come back a better player next season. Even if it’s to one of the promoted teams. It’s worked well for us in the past.

Totally agree, think it's plain as day to most people that we can really only afford to be relying on one of Odobert and Tel to be backup/rotation and need a better senior option ahead of them and Odobert seems both the more obvious choice and more likely candidate of interest for a PL loan.

Think it would have been sensible to try to organise a loan to Burnley when Solomon got his injury in July and muddied the waters a bit on getting him shipped out, think Solomon realistically offers more to the squad right in this moment in time now than Odobert pending more experience and gametime for the latter and it seems clear the club planned on at least trying to bring in a player who can play LW so this logjam at LW seems to have been pretty inevitable from early in the window tbh.
