Dominic Solanke

Wanky in a Hanky Solanke, maybe?

edit: it could be worse, we could end up calling him dom. :stirspot:

Your comment about them never reaching the big league at Chelsea a couple down from mine was prescient indeed

[frank the tank]

the guy Loftus-Cheek is another we should consider going for......i think he has all the attributes to be a star player - and a manager like Klopp could make him a star.

Well this came out of the blue!

£3m is nothing these days so worth a punt I suppose!

Haha, that's a crazy buy. He's a top talent and for that price/salary. Was always a bit miffed Chelsea had such a good player from the little I've seen of him internationally and Chelsea fans on Redcafe were always going on about him.

When Chelsea beat us in the Youth Cup semi finals in 2013, they had some cracking players. A big powerful AM that we couldn't cope with and another great attacker. Was hoping he was one of those players, but I think he's a year too young.

I think Loftus-Cheek was one of the ones in that team.

He used to be short but now he's Solanke

Lock the thread.

3m is nothing & agree Loftus Cheek looks like a real talent.

[Fosterbloke]

Solanke and thanks for the fish.

quite the opposite. its been in the bag for the last few months. Even Talksport said this was nailed on at the beiginning of the year.

He made Marca's best uu19 team in the world in 2016......Wouldnt mind having a few more in that 11 !!!

Chelsea fans taking it well

Looks like Solanke is off to Liverpool on a free :-(
Always expected him to leave after the contract stand-off... but Liverpool, FFS????

Hope Solanke fails miserably to be honest.

Well this is funny. He's a crap player, who'll turn nothing beyond decent for Liverpool, but they'll think they've made the deal of the century since a young Englishman is a rotation option in the cup games. He's not half the player Sturridge is, and they're getting rid of him if they can.

I said from day 1 not to pay attention to Solanke. One-dimensional, and that one dimension of his is so below average. His mentality was ********** up, he had no drive, no charm, nothing warm about him. So this shouldn't be a surprise.

But still, he's a true money grabbing, turncoat *******. Without our guidance in the youth level & him gaining the leverage of being associated with our brand, he'd be even less than he is now. An equally **** footballer, but in the Championship, barely making a grand a week, which is still more than he deserves.

How dare such a **** player demand double the wages of his youth-level peers, then snub the rebuttal which'll have been a perfectly fair offer. Then leave for a disgusting city. Hope him nothing but failure.

Did people just not pay attention to the fact he scored 3 open goals in 30 appearances in all competitions on loan at Vitesse? He's a striker. Lewis Baker is more prolific.

Even Lucas Piazon is superior.

Yes, Solanke will be better there than he would have been here. No, he won't be any better than Jermaine Beckford. He was the absolute bottom of the barrel in terms of the youth teams he played in. Every player around him was dynamic, with so much to offer. Solanke doesn't have one refined trait. Not one. All he'll develop is a decent strike & the movement of Costa if he's lucky.

This is how annoyed I am at us losing a bad player to a rival; I can't even remember or imagine what I was like over Mata. I swore a lot regarding Cech. I'll be annoyed if any player from any of our youth teams ends up at a rival. WE fed you. OUR club was the one who turned you from an average person living with an average family in an average area into millionaires.
