    Yeah, but that abundance of midfielders include Aaronson, Gruev, Gyabi and Greenwood. While out 1st XI looks good, the back ups represent a sharp decline in quality.

    Tbh I'd prefer a left sided winger like Tyler Dibling at Southampton, to give more balance to the squad.

    Serious question on Solomon. He was pretty unplayable last season and did a great job. However Would Solomon get into the Roma team or Marseille team ahead of Piaxoa. I dont think so. My opinion again. Now let’s say Spurs decide Solomon isn’t good enough to get into a poor Spurs side do we think that’s good enough for us? He like Piaxoa chose another club over Leeds. In fairness Solomon did a great job at Fulham out on loan, whereas Dan James didn’t? On top of that we know Solomon can play Farkeball

    I'm feel gutted but shouldn't as I've never heard of him. I bet quite a few of you never did either.
    Plenty more fish in the sea. his heart wasn't into our vision and club he could well of been another sinisterra when someone else came a knocking he would jump the ship.
    Another name will soon be upon us to get excited all over again :1980_boogie_down:

    Solomon is safe, 6/10 7/10 odd 8/10 he isn’t a game changer, Paxaio can play left or right and score a goal from nothing, he was an extremely exciting gamble. He’d have probably sent us mad with a few 4/10 but we’d forgive him next week with a 10/10

    We have Longstaff, Stach, Ampadu, Gruev and Tanaka who are all safe, we need some exciting gambles. I’d be content signing Solomon but alongside the Fulham guy and James/Gnonto right, I’m fearful if we’ll score enough goals

    Yeah at the start of the window I was hoping for Solomon but obviously got spoilt when we heard about trying for a marquee player. Hopefully we snap up a very good striker and a winger. Don’t think we are looking for a ten

    I'd put the Championship as a harder league than the Dutch league. Solomon put up incredible figures of his own last season despite having a slow start due to his injury problems the season before.

    Paixão could have been a Raphinha but he could also have been a Sinisterra. It was a gamble. Solomon isnt a gamble. Everyone knows he can cut it in the PL.

    I hope you’re right, at £20m fine but £40m is laughable, I’d prefer Beto from Everton

    Mate, we both thought Sinisterra was the real deal. It just looks like sour grapes putting him down after an incredible 30 games and 3 goals for Bournemouth in two years since he left. That would be nearly as bad as dissing Tyler Adams 30 games and no goals in the same period <whistle>

    Like it or not we won’t be an attractive prospect for top players who will have a choice of players. Nobody fancies a relegation battle. So to attract top players you’ll then have to give them the hated get out clauses if relegated. Which we supposedly don’t want to do

    Or a fixed sell on fee like Ipswich did with Liam Delap.
