Tinpot Club
Star Player
I don’t think Callum is our best player but he’s probably the most vital. Was it 15 goals and 9 assists? Take that away from us and we’d be in big trouble.
No one would dispute that Aké is a better player. But if we lost him, there is simply no way our goals against would jump from 70 to 85. Even with Elphick in the side, the defence held firm (well statistically not any worse!)
In time Solanke might end up better than Callum. Until that time, we cannot afford to lose his goals. That’s why the club is right to do whatever it takes to keep him for at least another year.
