buzza Posted January 10 Share Posted January 10 7 million was what was quoted last summer, therefore I would assume that his loan fee from now to the summer would be in the region of 3-4 million... He would be a mainstay in our team, imagine these three in the middle: --bruno---kalv--Joe Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
alexf Posted January 10 Share Posted January 10 Just now, Smal said: I don’t really understand what the plan would be for Solanke. We play one striker and we have the best in the league outside Haaland. Solanke will be about £50m and like… we really, really need a right winger . Edwards is always breaking a completely inaccurate story before we actually sign someone else though, so fingers crossed. That's a fair comment. I know Isak has had injury problems but he has to be number one surely. Therefore the most logical would be to bring in a young understudy to cover him and Wilson and bring in a top level player in right wing. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest reefatoon Posted January 10 Share Posted January 10 Come on man, someone say a swap deal with Wilson. Can’t believe it’s the 10th already and nobody has mentioned any swap deals yet. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

There's a number of reasons it doesn't make sense and it's mostly nothing to do with the specific player. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Optimistic Nut Posted January 10 Share Posted January 10 7 minutes ago, Paulinho said: Solanke was a punchline until about two months ago. Would feel a long way from the Bruno/Botman/Isak transfer approach that I assumed was going to be our model going forward. He'd be brought in to take the Wilson role though, wouldn't he? Isak as the main man, Solanke coming in when he's injured, needs rested, etc. Spurs have shown how hard it is to get someone happy to do that role who's actually any good as well whenever Kane was out, Solanke would be about as good as we could get imo.

Smal Posted January 10 Share Posted January 10 (edited) 5 minutes ago, SUPERTOON said: The plan would surely be to rotate and not run Isak into the ground ? we have Wilson and once Barnes is back we’ll have Gordon to rotate there too which will help to stop Wilson and Isak getting injured so often. We have massive priorities in the team at right wing and central midfield. Again, Solanke would be £50m+. If we need a 3rd rotation striker I don’t think we should be spending that kind of money on someone who’ll be 27 this year considering the other positions we’re weaker in and FFP. I really like Solanke though. His out of possession/pressing work is top notch too. I just can’t see it unless we’re selling Wilson.

The more I think about it the more it’s obviously just Edwards bollocks. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
James Posted January 10 Share Posted January 10 1 hour ago, Joey47 said: If Howe ran any players into the ground Wilson definitely wasn’t one of them. Edit: just read the last part and detecting sarcasm well he’s been a sick note since we signed him. Who was his last pre-NUFC manager? Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Upthemags Posted January 10 Share Posted January 10 To those lukewarm on Solanke - sure, on paper, we have 2 top-class strikers when they're both healthy. But when was the last time both were healthy and fully fit? And when would you expect them to both be healthy and fully fit, if ever again? Miggy will be a squad player come next season, but he at least can stay on the pitch. More pressing in Howe's eyes, i'd bet, is the concern that if Isak and Wilson go down again at the same time, we're a relegation-level side. And there's a greater chance of that happening than many would likely be keen to admit. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
The College Dropout Posted January 10 Share Posted January 10 (edited) There's nothing in the Solanke link other than Eddie liking him. We don't need him. It's not a priority position. He would cost a mega premium. Impossible. Edited January 10 by The College Dropout Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Depends which four end up in champions league.. Chelsea don't get in for the second season or even the next one then their crazy buying will catch up with them. Liverpool got the benefit of the Saudi league this year.. but that door might already be closing with players looking for escape routes.

Dokko Posted January 10 Share Posted January 10 Don't think Solanke is the answer, but it's nice to see him finally come good. I think there might be some vanity in Howe buying Solanke, to prove he was right all those years ago. Surely though at £40-50m there are better options in Europe. I reckon there are some Italian options who would love that kind of cash. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
The College Dropout Posted January 10 Share Posted January 10 The top 6 lead isn't insurmountable. It just needs smart investment over 5+ years. By that, i include commercial deals, academy, new stadium, and player sales. All this is possible it will just take some time. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Conjo Posted January 10 Share Posted January 10 1 hour ago, TheInfiniteOdyssey said: Solanke makes sense as a Wilson replacement imo. Wilson has been a brilliant player for us but think it’s time in the summer to let him go for the right price, perhaps around £20m or so. If Solanke did sign, I’d still want anothher quality player who can function in that role. Not even the most desperate Saudi club would pay anything close to £20m for a 32 year old permacrocked Wilson. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
