Official: Solanke signs

The more i see him the more i feel he is the best option. We need someone to hold the ball up. The reason we concede so much because Son cannot hold the ball up the ball just comes back with much less passes it took us to get there.

It works in Scotland with Furahashi because the opponent is backing off, sitting deep and the ops get pulled all over creating gaps. If the op gets the ball they lack any quality to counter properly. Will never in a million years work in the premier league where teams have the quality to counter quickly.

Solanke will help the defenders at corners too which we all agree we need.

Solanke looks like he is a great fit to me.

Can we also appreciate Bournemouth full of class in the way they have handled this and announced it.

Watching Bayern game athe above and what you are saying tarrico is playing out. Full backs inverted,2 slow defenders on halfway line in dragusin and Davies, Spence out of position on left and we are getting torn a new one. 1-3 down at half time.two set pieces and caught out playing at the back.

It's quite laughable in a way!

Agreed especially because they will feel his loss massively.

I reckon he will be a decent signing but nobody will ever see it that way because of the ridiculous price tag that he’s not close to being worthy of.

I don't think the price is ridiculous. We've probably overpaid by 10-15m because they obviously didn't want or need to sell. But in terms of what we needed and who is available, it's a sensible transfer.

19 Premier League goals last season for an average team.. if he does that for us he's well worth it.
