No of course I don't think that, but there certainly is some sort of venom aimed at young players trying to make their way into the game, something that we've done with success and failure. I know you only do it in discussion on here Neil, like me, and that's fair enough, but some of the moaning, groaning and ridiculous slurs aimed at Solanke and Wilson on Saturday from people sat near me I just haven't experienced at various clubs across the country that I've been lucky enough to go to. From my experience it wouldn't happen at Leicester, Newcastle or Liverpool. They support.
I don't think Solanke is worth £19m either, but i also don't think Nathan Ake is worth £80m but thats the world we operate in, some transfers work, some don't. Solanke will need a full season to know whether he's the write off some would suggest. You may well be right, I know we all hope he comes good but it's still very early days. Just remember Ryan Fraser, Josh King, etc.
Rico, like Solanke, was written off on here though this year, and it's just one of my pet hates. People do improve with support and we've seen it too many times to keep slagging people off for trying their best.
Totally agree about slagging players at the game, something I’ve never done and can’t stand.
