Dominic Solanke

Guitarist is getting married next year, a wedding gig is on the horizon!

I will also shortly be spamming the forum with my next project....

Nice!

Give us a little teaser about the new project

Apologies for hijack - would any mod be good enough to move these somewhere more fitting? TIA

Not sure if I posted this already, but what impresses me so much about Solanke is he obviously has all the physical attributes to be a quality CF, but what maybe differentiates him from the likes of Origi is he has the smarts. He seems such an intelligent footballer which is not only a massive asset to have on the pitch but should also mean under the right coaching, he should have so much room for development.

I'll be curious to see how he compares to Morata in a couple of years.

[RedReet]

What size is he? I thought 6ft, wiki says 6,1", but from those images there he was comfortably taller than Klavan, San Jose, Mig.

Quietly I'm beginning to think he's our plan B, or at least part of it with a deeper Couts being another part. Shame about Keita as he'd be another great addition to plan B (as well as A obvs).

He's very impressive. I'm getting a vibe for a late winner next week infront of our end. (I'd like a hammering but we might go easy on them before Hoffenheim and just win by 1)

[RedReet]

He's certainly exceeded all expectations I had for him, even after finishing top scorer in the Euros.

[Tatterdemalion]

I'm guessing he's going to look like one of those CFs where, if he aint getting on the end of something will just look a little ineffectual. So it will all be about the delivery and support. Some folks saying he plays a little like Costa - perhaps a little bit of Carroll in there as well?

[Buzzo]

He reminds me of a Les Ferdinand/Alan Shearer type who can both lead the line and run in behind, he looks pretty powerful. We've not really had a Centre Foreward with those attributes before, I supppose Hensley? A promising start.

Who the cluck is Hensley?

[labourRed]

Very promising. Would love him to smash it this season and underline that we're a good place for young talent to develop so we can acquire a few Dortmund signings.

Esmile Hensley.

cauliflower arse!

Eggsmile Hensley.

I've not seen him play yet aside from highlights. How quick is he and how mobile?

Quick enough. Old cliché but he's got good feet, good movement so looks very promising. We haven't seen enough of him to notice any real weaknesses and we don't know if he can cut it at the top level, yet. I don't think he'll be kicking around the ressies this season though.
