Bournemouth as a team were pretty poor. At various times we have been linked to Solanke, Billing and Harry Wilson and all three were dismal today. Billing wandered around looking utterly uninterested.

When (not if) they go down, maybe a little look at Harry Wilson. the other two .. Championship players.

Solanke dreadful.

Bmuff seem like a mini spurs. Half the players think they are too good for them now and have downed tools.

On paper they still probably have a better squad than us.

Spence seemed all in, in #25, and he's a pretty good judge of char...






...nope, I just can't finish that sentence, sorry.

After watching the game I’m not sure Bournemouth wanted to score in that second half. What a dismal display. You’d be gutted if you were an away fan paying money to see that.

From my clued-up Bournemouth-supporting friend

“Solanke is a donkey, an absolute joke. striker who doesn’t score goals. Our best player is lerna and he was on the bench for some reason. We are in trouble”.

I think he's overrated. He's no Andone, he's no Murray and he's no Locadia.

Next in line is Aaron Connolly. We do not currently require Dominic Solanke.

Murray is getting older, will have limited game time next season

Andone has hit the ground running looks like the real deal

Locadia had one good game in a wide attacking position

Connoley promising but untested

Solanke has premier experience and highly rated, still very young, at the right price would be an excellent acquisition

I don't understand those that aren't exited by this. He's a 6'2, quick, young English striker that has scored goals across all the England age groups, and Southgate thought highly enough of him to give him a full cap a while back. He also has been thought well enough of to be retained by Liverpool up until now. Brighton and other smaller Prem teams only get the chance to sign players like this before they show their full promise.

Our current options are.... Murray, he's incredible but how much longer he will keep going at his level? Locadia, is he a winger, is he a striker? He certainly isn't the quick target man and long term replacement for Murray we were expecting. Leaving us with Andone who has made a great start.

Our youngsters... Connolly has great promise but doesn't have 50 senior appearances behind him like Solanke and is not a longer term Murray replacement. Gyokeres, unsure if he is a left winger or striker? Plus he isn't home grown.

Due to our current options it wouldn't make sense to bring Solanke in on a 6 month loan. But, a loan with a view to a permanent or permanent in January would be a big statement and very exciting. He could well have already been a target before Ashworth was due to come in, but if we stay up this year it could well be a long term (Ashworth) plan to target home grown players that haven't quite broken through at bigger clubs.

Sense at last. This is the only post everyone needs to read

Solanke is a really decent forward, not sure if he fits in with the Reds pacy forward line and not really that top, top plan B up front.
However, would have been a really great option for us.

Just a brief selection. Solanke is rubbish and always has been. :wave:

This is why we need to start listening to Spence more often. He knows his football. Potter out.
