MaVilla Posted August 9 Share Posted August 9 (edited) 65m for Solanke. The Bournemouth CEO must have thought he was having a fever dream when that bid came in. Liverpool also have a 20% sell on clause apparently, so they will get 13m of it. Edited August 9 by MaVilla Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Popular Post Keyblade Posted August 9 Popular Post Share Posted August 9 I don't see the issue with Solanke for 65m. We'd be wanting above 80 for Watkins. He's been steadily improving for the past 3 years, and scored 19 goals last season. The last 10 players to score more than that in a single season are: Haaland Toney Kane Son Salah Sterling Ings Aubameyang Vardy Aguero He's 26 years old and English. Spurs signed Richarlison for 60m just 2 years prior ffs. 9 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Not one I'd want us to make for £65m it's costing, but good. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

To put it into perspective, we've never had a player in the last 32 years of our history score more goals in a season than Solanke did. We've had just 3 who have merely equaled that tally, one of them being Ollie Watkins in the same season, over whom we'd be absolutely livid if we sold for 65m. He'd fit their system under Ange to an absolute tee, he's quite possibly the ideal signing for them. It'll all be moot if they don't sign a left winger, but just from that you can tell they mean business. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It'll all be moot if they don't sign a left winger, but just from that you can tell they mean business. Son will just go back to playing on the left. Solanke did well last year, felt it was all clicking. However he's one of those that takes so many touches in the box before getting his shot away so I wonder how well he'll do in tighter games where chances are more scarce and you need your CF to be ultra clinical like Kane obviously was for them. I think he'll be like Brennan Johnson was last season, scored some important goals but his overall game wasn't decisive enough in the run in.

useless Posted August 10 Share Posted August 10 Watkins is proven at the top level over a number of year, Solanke might do well at Spurs, but also last season could be a one off, it was the only season he scored more than six goals in the Premier League, bearing mind he's had five seasons at that level, and turns 27 this year, so not as if he was super young in any of those PL campaigns either, so the price is a big risk, at the end of last season I was thinking Bournemouth could capitalize and get more than he's worth, I was thinking thirty to fourty million, wasn't expecting sixty plus, Bournemouth must now spend the money very wisely 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
