Kuwabatake Sanjuro Posted August 7 Share Posted August 7 Yeah Solanke was underwhelming for a few years but was a top quality striker last season. He may be a better all round option than Toney as unless I'm unaware of any controversies he should come with much less baggage. Speaking of controversy Marseille are going all out to be scumbag FC as they try sign Elye Wahi. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
VillaChris Posted August 7 Share Posted August 7 Bournemouth already signed Enes Unal as a replacement for Solanke so if I were them I'd string Spurs along and make sure they fully pay the release clause as you can bet Levy will be trying to unload some of their fringe players to Bournemouth for a lower fee.

Absolutely not worth that reported fee. Or, perhaps he excelled under a good manager? Spurs create shit loads of chances, he'll fit their system perfectly and bang in goals this season. The fee might seem excessive, but good strikers are hard to come by and always go for bigger money (Aren't we looking for £40m for Duran with a handful of sub appearances and a few goals?).

The fact that Watkins would be sold for £100m and Solanke £60m should emphasise that. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Ollie is the much better striker. Ollie never scored 29 goals in the Championship and many fans of other teams used to say he was average. Ollie is a better player than Solanke, but to cherry pick two year's out of 4 doesn't tell the full story. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
