Liverpool fan here and I 100% agree with the comments re Dom's history. He was a victim of Chelsea's internal politics whan he was a teenager; then he was at Liverpool when they had Mane, Firmino and Salah at their peak (who in the world would have got through them into that side ?), then he had to rebuild at Bournemouth in a side that was collapsing and sliding into the Championship. So, out of that he had to rebuild his confidence and his game, and as per the commentator here, 90% of players would have disappeared, so it says a lot for Solanke that he came back and became the player he is. I take my hat off to him. 👏👏👏

Versatile front 4 player like Eze feels like what we most need as Seb mentions. Not sure why there isn’t more talk about the need for a LB more in the mould of Udogie, Davies is a fantastic servant for the club but feels like he might be better suited to CB in this new Ange system.

Spurs did not utilise Kane properly as we now see from his outstanding performances and goalscoring with Bayern. If Spurs can learn and adapt to properly utilise Solanke then they will surely be very successful. Solanke is more than just a goalscorer and centre forward. He is an excellent team player even significantly helping in defence, particularly at corners. He scares defences and is unselfish. Let’s hope Spurs adapt to use him properly, to his strengths for their benefit and for Solanke’s benefit. Very sorry to see him go, he was very valuable to Bournemouth but wish him every, indeed outstanding success … except against Bournemouth!

Just a couple of things on the title. 1. You don't replace Harry Kane. He is one of a kind. I understand the meaning, but you do have to take into consideration that he is irreplaceable. 2. What do you mean "finally"? It's only been one year. If we had his replacement already, that's amazing going for Daniel Levy. How many years has it been since not replacing Dembele? That would be a "finally". And we only just got a replacement (nowhere near as good) for Eriksen last season. We didn't have a creative mid for a number of years. One year would be a flash to replace Kane.

"Finally"? It's been a year. The fee is crazy, I don't think any amount of mental gymnastics about home grown fee can justify it personally. I like Solanke, I think he's going to do well at Spurs, but he's had one season of top performances and has a patchy injury record, the fee is crazy. I can see him doing well in his first season, but not ripping up any trees (something like 12-16 PL goals, that sort of range) and being labelled a flop by the media/online fans, again because the fee is so high and the expectations are going to be sky high - just look at the title of this pod, people are demanding immediate top level performances.

Amateurish analysis, suggesting this is a very sensible low risk signing! This is a big gamble for Spurs. They have paid £65mill for a soon to be 27 year old who has 1 stella season in the prem and about 2 and a half previously which would suggest he is a £5mill player at best. He was outstanding last year and IF he replicates that could justify most of the fee. But if he reverts to his previous premier league levels they have a hugely expensive asset that has minimal sell-on value.
