Dominic Solanke

Would he realistically be signed by a 'bigger' club than West Ham? Possibly Newcastle, if they sell Isak? I dont see Spurs going for him

I think Newcastle would be a great move for him, especially if Ed is still there. Even Arsenal maybe as they would benefit from a solid number 9. Hope he doesn't go to Spurs, but again they're currently playing the likes of Son as false 9s, so they might come in for him.
 
With Hughes set to join Liverpool in the Summer, this ‘rumour’ in story on link was inevitable.

If Liverpool did decide to go after their old player again, according to this para from their Echo newspaper re when Edwards was originally at the club, it would put them at advantage money wise on their rivals.


But Liverpool could be set for a further pay-out should Bournemouth be persuaded to sell the in-form striker, with club sources confirming Michael Edwards negotiated both a 20% profit sell-on clause and a buyback clause as part of the 2019 transfer.

Then this article from London today.

Hughes brought the likes of Dominic Solanke and Nathan Ake to the Cherries, with the latter going on to join Manchester City. Solanke could be the next name set for a big move, despite having already been on the books of both Liverpool and Chelsea, with his impressive goal scoring form in this campaign seeing a number of clubs take interest.

Arsenal are one of those as they continue their search for a elite-level centre forward with Victor Osimhen, Ivan Toney and Benjamin Sesko among others linked. Solanke is said to be valued at £50million and with Hughes joining Liverpool, the chances of Solanke potentially re-joining his former club have increased.

If we sell for 50m we are grade A mugs, anything south of 60 and we’ve had our pants down. Should really be holding firm for 70. Our ability to progress as a club depends heavily on us getting the prices that WE want for our players.

I'm pretty confident our owner is very clued up in this area.

I’m not saying Adam’s doesn’t have a decent pedigree I’m saying we should have swerved him like others did.

The Solanke point you keep bringing up needs the context you avoid. Solanke wasn’t the 20m we needed to spend at that time as he was incapable of grabbing a goal in the PL and we got relegated. One for the future for sure but that season we needed a back up for two injury prone centre forwards, even a loan deal would have been better.

You mean the season that Wilson only missed one game to injury?

In regards to afcb it’s all irrelevant, he ultimately didn’t want to be here. He had the offer of a new deal, he turned it down, the best offer he could get was Crystal Palace.

Added context of course was the recruitment side to have the foresight to find Mousset’s replacement as it was evident he wasn’t going to sign a new contract.

They took the opportunity when it came to sign someone far better, paid out £20million for Solanke and netted £10million for Mousset.

Solanke was signed in Jan 2019 - the season before we were relegated and we were in a decent position at the time - not majorly in a relegation scrap.

Wilson and King were still playing regularly with Mousset being the back up.

This is a point that Neil keeps raising incorrectly. I’m not sure why, it’s been explained to him over and over.

Richard Hughes

Can’t be bothered with capitals but why not include Solanke Tavernier Semenyo Christie Senesi Zabarini Kluivert Kerkez Ake? Ramsdale? There’s an awful lot of successful signings since the summer of 2014 when Hughes became a scout. There’s also a lot of very good business when it comes to...

Yes and how long did it take him to score? We were relegated on goal difference. So the 10m net loss on the Solanke/Mousset deal over the year potentially cost us way more than that as we spent two years in the championship. Mousset scored more premier league goals than Solanke that year and the year before.

This isn’t about what both players became despite people trying to make it that for obvious reasons it was about what we needed at the time.

Just some basic fact checking.

We were relegated by a point, not by goal difference.

Mousset scored 6 goals that season, Solanke scored 4.

It is very much about that, the only reason why it wouldn’t be is because it doesn’t fit your particular argument, where you repeatedly make false claims to suit your agenda.

We had Callum Wilson and Joshua King as the first choice strikers.

Solanke’s role was as a promising young striker, third choice, to replace Lys Mousset and Jermain Defoe.

Do you think everyone has just forgotten what actually happened Neil? We were there and clearly you aren't going to be able to pull the wool over people's eyes and convince them of your version of history.

You say we needed a ready to go striker? We had two proven PL forwards on the books we even had a back up in Mousset, they were all shite just like the rest of the squad. Solanke was clearly one for the future and an absolutely brilliant signing no matter what you say.

We were all there but we may all have seen it differently it’s football. Yes Solanke was a brilliant signing but not what we needed at the time. The final season where we let Mousset and Defoe go and kept Solanke I believe cost us 200m. The fact he has turned out brilliantly is neither here nor there in this argument as nobody is doubting it.

Not sure why people need to label a different point of view to their own as an agenda. Strange modern trend.

We replaced two strikers who knew how to score with one who didn’t. That I believe is why we went down. I’m fine for you to have a different point of view/agenda to that.
