Dominic Solanke

I said a year ago that I'd have sold Solanke to get some cash, buy a new first choice and keep Richie as second choice / rotation.

In hindsight, we'd have been so much stronger if we did that.

Even better if we sold both of them.

Dreadful dreadful signing, I do not understand how top level scouts saw him play and thought he is worth £65 million, the average fan in the stand saw it as a disaster signing.

He was much sought after at the time wasn’t he. You could see tonnes of ability and some warning signs so it came with a lot of risk. IIRC, he destroyed City in the CL the season before.

Was an unmitigated disaster for us but looked so talented so I can see why we went for him.

fudge me. RDZ must be wondering what he’s walked in to. Since he came here, he’s had 3 games and lost 4 players for the rest of the season. And not just any players, his captain, his most creative player, his best wide player and his centre forward.

I honestly thought our luck had to turn at some point. It just gets worse and worse.

He was good for 3 or 4 games after he came back from injury this season and for the first few games when he signed but generally been terrible. He basically had one good season in the PL and our brilliant scouting department decided to spend £60m on him.

Unbelieveable how much we've spent on average players in the last few years - goes back all the way to N'Dombele, Le Celso etc. Mind you Le Celso would look decent in this team.
 
Harsh on Solanke in here - he had a reasonable first season in what was a terrible year for the team, went on to spend a long period of time out injured stretching deep in to this season and then came back to a brick show, with a substandard set of attacking & creative players around him.
