[Albion] Solanke

[Harry Wilson's tackle]

Yes, but Ravel Morrison is 27 now. 6 years ago, aged 21, he was signed to Premier League West Ham and had played regularly for them and on loan at Championship Birmingham and QPR. It was around this point that the decline set in.

Morrison played 18 games for wet sham in 3 years and was then shipped out on loan. He played no games for Man U, and Neville can gob off as much as he likes; until the boy is in the first team he is not the most extraordinary talent that ever graced this good earth. That is the sort of judgement that has given Neville that top managerial career that we all hold in awe and wonder....

Morrison has played 59 games in 6 years. An average of 10 a season. 18 of those were foe Atlas (who?). His charge sheet includes beating up women and homophobia.

Solanke, 88 games in 5 seasons. Roughly 18 a season. 21 of those were for Liverpool (who?). His charge sheet appears to be blank.

Chalk and limestone?

There is a reason why he left Chelsea and Liverpool, bad attitude and ridiculous wage demands, for achieving sod all.

Like I said, let's see where he is in a couple of years. I hope you bounce this thread and I'm made to look like a t1t.

Interesting thing about Solanke is that he seems to have scored goals for fun in the various England youth levels he has played at but has not replicated that form so much at club level.

You're right about Solanke's ludicrous £50K a week wage demands while at Chelsea. That said, it could have been agent driven. Who knows? Everything is a ruddy mystery, at the beginning of the day

That's not true, his attitude has not been questioned.

He left Chelsea because when his opportunity to get some game time came along, Conte bought Michy Batshuayi. At the same time Liverpool became a viable option, so he left.

At Liverpool it was blatantly apparent that he was well behind Mane, Firmino and Salah. So he left to join Bornemouth. Money was never an issue.

For me, this is exactly what the fourth striker birth is for. Either a young wonder kid thrown into the mix or someone who has quality but lost his way and needs rediscovering. Get him in on a year’s loan with a right to buy. Motivate with larger than average goal bonus. let Dr potter do his stuff, New main striker to be purchased so we could, and maybe should, take a flyer with Salonke.

 

[Cowfold Seagull]

My point is that Solanke is no more the answer than Gyökeres and why pay a fee when we already have Viktor ?

Yeah l take youir point, but Solanke is arguably first team standard now,and has played plenty of Premier League football, whereas Gyokores isn't, and hasn't.

 

[Doonhamer7]

At Liverpool he wasn’t just behind Firmino, Salah, mane but also Origi and Ings (whatever happened to him!), he was allowed to leave as Brewster was seen as having more potential as well as some kid that was Gerrard’s cousin - who Left to go to Italy as he wasn’t getting first team games (deluded or what). I think there is a lot of potential in Solanke, he gets stuck in, is strong and appears to try, I think he’d be a great foyle to our wee strikers. With a bit of luck goals would come.

 

[Dick Knights Mumm]

A non scoring striker will fit right in.

I’m in the school that wonders whether he should try another position.

Not for me Brian.

What would be the ideal scenario is this.

1. B’Muff about to sign Solanke for £14m but ‘bid up’ to £19m as a ‘team like Brighton’ join the bidding.

2. Solanke signs for the Muff and struggles in his first Premier League season but finds form after the lockdown. B’Muff go down.

3. Desperate B’Muff let ‘a team Brighton’ loan-2-buy Solanke for £14m if he performs.

4. Solanke scores 15+ goals (heavily assisted by his mentor and personal coach Lallana) for ‘a team like Brighton’ in 20/21 and signs permanently whilst B’Muff go League One.

5. Eddie cries himself to sleep most nights.

Have I been whooshed? Bournemouth have been relegated already haven’t they?

Solanke could be another Calvert Lewin. Thought he looked like he would never make the grade but now he seems to have a knack of finding the net despite a tendency to cheat. That said, I wouldn't chance it.

Sorry. We’re at 2.5. Added a little history for context.

 

[Mike Small]

No thank you. Please no.

 

[super-seagulls]

If the powers that be fancy him and think he will work for us, then that is good enough for me.

 

[pornomagboy]

playing in a team full of confidence and creating him chances I'm sure he will put them away if Ashworth and potter think he will fit our style of play then it's a yes he wont cost a fortune as they have just gone down , after his first goal against Leicester he looked like a new player the runs he was making, a little like Connelly needs confidence and a good run in team creating him chances

I wouldn't be against a loan with an option I guess.

Surely the only consideration for him.
Unfortunately he really does have everything to prove......

No thanks. He's a passenger and we don't have the luxury of carrying a striker.

 

[b.w.2.]

Until his last few games, I thought no, now I am thinking yes
