      29 gls in 134 games are you out of your mind? We have done the worst transfer business in europe so far. Levy pays 40 million for an 18 yr old while Anges supposed top target Conor Gallagher goes to A. Madrid for 33 million. Are you telling your viewers that? Dobvyk goes to Roma for 25 million
      50 million on Brenda Johnson and now he's going to pay 65 million for Dominic Solanke?
      Alexande Sørloth got 23 gls in La Liga last season and now he's gone to A. Madrid for 32 million euros. So, for 56 million A. Madrid have signed La Liga's top striker and the Conor Gallagher and Levy wants to pay 65 million for Solanke
      AND NOT ONLY THAT, as Atletico Madrid are about to sign Alvarez from Man City for less than Solanke.. I'm fcking RAGING ARGGGGGGGG!

    Very sound arguments Ben. I'm all in for Solanke, to be honest. It's not my £65m at the end of the day. Solanke clearly wants to come here too (the anime tweet). Toney seems to have a higher self-worth, whether accurate or not, and I don't imagine Spurs would be a dream for him. I can't see that being something Ange would get down with, and could easily become a problem in the dressing room if we find ourselves in tough moments during the season. Solanke is also at an age where there's still a path to the first team for Lankshear or Scarlett if they start firing in the future.

    Great video Ben. I think the other great advantage of Solanke is that he comes ready made for Angeball. By his own admission, it took him a while the get Iraola's superb high pressing game down. Ange will want the same, and we know Solanke is ready for it, which will be essential given he's missed preseason.

We were told that Conor Gallagher was Ange's top midfield target for a year and now he's signed for Atletico Madrid for 30 million pounds while Levy forked out 40 million for Archie Gray an 18i yr old?
      Not only that, Atletico. Madrid and Roma have both signed Spain's top scorers in La Liga last season.
      And Atletico Madrid are about to sign Man Cities Julian Alvarez for 55 million pounds which is 10 million less than what Bournemouth are asking for Dominic Solanke?
      And you have the gall to criticise Spurs fans for being angry at this latest transfer window debacle?

    Richarlison - 1500mins 11 goals 4 assists. Solanke - 3300 mins 19 goals 3 assists. Richarlison - 136mins/goal. Solanke - 173mins/goal.
    Richarlison also overperformed his xG by 2 goals which suggests he is a better finisher than Solanke. Richarlison off the ball is also outstanding. For me, off the ball ability comes second to on the ball ability when it comes to strikers and the big reason we want Solanke is his pressing. Is it really a massive upgrade, I am not so sure. Is Solanke a good player, yes. Remember, the fee could be in excess of £55m for a nearly-27-year-old striker. There is definitely better VFM and quality out there for me.

    • @BenBowman_
      @BenBowman_  Місяць тому

      All good points, but I wouldn’t say off the ball Richarlison is outstanding compared to Solanke. Think there are things that Richy is better than him at, but I’d say Solanke is probably a better overall package. I wouldn’t pay too much attention to richarlisons xG numbers from last season given most of his goals all came from fairly simple chances - not criticism at all but that doesn’t make him a better finisher than Solanke.

    Is he though? Was every Tottenham UA-camr making videos on why Solanke would be perfect for Tottenham at the start of the window?
    Its not like he is unknown, he isnt playing in the far east where nobody watches. He plays in the prem. So if he was so perfect, surely people would have been talking about why we should be pushing for him earlier on. Weve had a whole year since Kane left, a whole year for people to talk about Solanke being the perfect fir for Tottenham. But they havent been.
    I dont watch every minute of every Tottenham UA-cam channel, sure, so I might have missed people talking about him. But If he was so perfect, youd think it would be a common thread through the supporter base.
    My main worry is that he has only had 1 decent season, and he has been around for a long time. I think hes had like 9 seasons?
    I feel like he is just going to be another Richarlison for us.
    He is stronger than Richarlison, which is a good thing, we need someone to hold up the ball a lot better than anyone we have, so that is one strong point. But apart from that, not so sure. He is good in the air, but none of our wingers can get decent crosses in. The high press that Ange wants isnt really this type of strikers game. (It wasnt Kanes either, but you sort of let it slide with someone of his abilties. And he might even be struggling in this system if he was still here.)
    Im just not feeling Solanke at all.

The only reason we're not signing them is because: A. Wages B. Player Age C. Fee construct (i.e. spread over as many years as possible) D. Current contract end date. We're wasting money, as usual. The trend continues, buying cheap young unproven players that other clubs do not want, despite changing the backroom staff in coaching and recruiting for about a zillion times now.
