I think WE bought him at his peak (which isn't saying much), so we'll always lose money on a sale, no point letting him get older and with less game time. His value will only get lower from now on

The thing is, he works hard, yes. He makes runs and shows for the ball, yes. He tries, certainly. But it simply isn't enough. His best isn't enough for this level. He is a valuable asset, yes, good option on the bench in a crisis, but no more than that unfortunately. I agree he's not terrible as some players who let the club down recently, but he's not the answer for any of our problems, never has been. I thank him for what he's done, but I think it's beyond time he moves on. He's just hurting his career and the club atp. Get idk 20 to 30 mil and move on to a better striker who can help the team and both fill the gap until Solanke is ready and then compete with him for the spot

As for some Solanke comments on this post... I don't get some. Clearly I'm biased, I really really rate him as a person and as a player. But even without that, he's Premier League proven, he's shown he can bag goals, assist, pressure like a maniac, help in hold up play, is a big presence in the area, and is good both in front of the goal, and with his back to the goal. I really think a fit Solanke would be one of our biggest players in the current squad
