Eze and Solanke would acctualy make this a good window.I Like the "kids" but we need star quality too, tired of hearing give them time... like with skipp,sarr,bentaleb,holtby,dragusin,austin,njie,ndombele. we need some proven players too.

[@JustinWintch]

Solanke was one of my favorite players to watch last season. I really hope this signing goes through!

[@LMavin]

Tbf the more I see of Solanke the more I really think he is perfect for Ange. He is quick, tall, strong, presses loads, can score a range of goals as well as set up others. He could be amazing for us.

[@SonnyTalksSpurs]

I really do love it

[@saneleluvuno5394]

I’m conflicted because I want to keep RICHY but I also believe Lankshear deserves some game time this season

[@SonnyTalksSpurs]

I could see maybe the sale of Richy and then Lankshear promoted

Great video! I am definitely Toney>Solanke, but some valid points. The age definitely fits in terms of how Spurs are moving now and as you said, an asset in the future if anything! Richy out soon?

[@SonnyTalksSpurs]

Richy could deffo be moved on - I think it was also an attitude thing with Toney - can imagine him and ange sparring a lot haha

[@ChrisFownes]

I think solanke will do us proud,he will suit us,he is more of team player this is a player who is 26 years he can grow with the clubs players,and one day be a spurs leader Mr leavy should buy him now so he can gel with the other players

[@SonnyTalksSpurs]

The deal should be done soon

[@henryblocker5141]

Beier would also be good/perfect signing for Spurs, hes cheap, hes fast, hes a winger/striker..Hes young, he score goals, he can pass, hes fast i can go on forever about him

[@SonnyTalksSpurs]

Tbh hes more of a counter attack striker, we are more of a attcking team, with small margins for the striker to move, a quick, dribbler, like Lautoro would acctualy be the perfect match for ANge & Spurs

[@SonnyTalksSpurs]

Solanke is not just a counter striker?

[@kyemelchert5704]

Solanke is an elite dribbler.

[@MattKelly-ys3jo]

There's one thing about Anges signing and it's got nothing to do with football more about good attitude and character, it gets me so mad when I see Toney mentioned as THERE IS NO WAY POSTECOGLOU WOULD HAVE HIM NEAR OUR TEAM that is blatantly obvious

[@SonnyTalksSpurs]

Makes a lot of sense now

[@scottjackson3356]

Solanke for 40M and LoCelso, perhaps? I like Solanke in Ange’s system. Have him for a few years as Lankshear matures. With Sonny on the left he could get more opportunities than at Bournemouth as well.

[@SonnyTalksSpurs]

🙏🙏🙏

[@Midori_Ringo]

Lets be real here, he's good but if HG quota wasn't an issue I doubt he'd be as high on the list. What it at least shows me is consistency in player personality. Kind of a "no bell ends" policy. Toney might be the better talent but could you really trust him? Every misplaced pass, missed sitter I'd always be wondering has he got a side bet going? I actually think it's also a calculated gamble Toney will be available on a free in 6 months. If Solanke flops Toney is there for free/minimal fee.

[@SonnyTalksSpurs]

I like the attitude approach

[@savcap1]

You say Gyokeres has only had 1 good season. Just remind me how many good season Solanke has had? He’s flopped for more seasons than he’s succeeded. 1 good season, that’s it and this justifies £65m? you realise Alvarez has been sold for £65m? No doubt Solanke is a decent player, but he’s not the player that will win us trophies. In the end, he scores when he receives good supply. Which we don’t have in abundance.

[@SonnyTalksSpurs]

Alvarez is being sold for £81m - we need homegrown players which are younger like Solanke is and Gyokeres had one good season in Europe - which is not a top 5 league and is other success came in the champ which Solanke did well in as well

[@paulwalter2715]

I feel cannot get Solanke how about Barış Alper Yılmaz (born 23 May 2000) plays for Galatasaray and was great for Turkiye at the Euros. He's a winger / striker, fast, aggressive and would really sut us

[@SonnyTalksSpurs]

An unproven league

[@henryblocker5141]

If we sell Richy, why dont we just sign Osimhein? i mean 115m for richy and solanke vs Kane is maybe one of the worst deal ever... If we get osimhein it would be a great deal but solanke had 1 good season... dont get me wrong i like him, hes explosive but yet calm like lautoro... but we should sign better if we want to win a trophy.. Solanke could be our backup striker but not our only one.....

[@SonnyTalksSpurs]

Osimhen wont happen - solanke will be our starter

[@KuluWarrior]

Dominic Solanke or Pedro Neto or Toney in which order would you hope we buy ?

[@SonnyTalksSpurs]

Solanke - Neto - Toney

[@the-icephoenix]

Solanke is a bang average stricker. What does it say about the club? It says we're desperate and couldn't get our first choices and are now panic buying a poor player. I ask you would you have been happy if last season before his one good season we had brought him in to replace kane

[@kyemelchert5704]

His stats are great. Scored more from open play than Isaak last year, more goals than Sonny. Great dribbler. Aerial. Presence. Presses well. Prem proven. The last time him and Gyokeres played in the same championship season he outscored Gyokeres significantly. He's a jet.

[@eldante4139]

Sonny, hope you’re doing good? What are your thoughts about Solanke’s first touch data of having the most unsuccessful first touches of any player in the Premier League last season - 136

[@SonnyTalksSpurs]

I am good - hope you are as well - that is an interesting stat - but I guess if you are having a lot of touches in a team like Bournemouth this would be the case and surely the one metric to look at is the goals he scored last season

[@eldante4139]

@@SonnyTalksSpurs I am good thank you. He also scored less than his xG would suggest he should be scoring (scoring 1.47 less goals than expected). For me he is the focal point of Bournemouth attacks and will shoot a lot, but I feel he needs to be more than that for us. I want a player that can link play with clever touches and play in the likes of Johnson and Son. Plus hold up the play and with poor first touch too often, suggestions that he could be wasteful in front of goal; Richarlison scored 0.97 more goals than his xG would suggest he should have. And Kulusevski scored 3 more. For me Solanke isn’t the answer but of course if we do sign him I’ll support him fully, he just isn’t someone that I want us to sign based on my research.

[@SonnyTalksSpurs]

He will add to the goals in our team already from Maddison, son etc

[@philspur1882]

I'd be surprised if 501 would sanction the signing of a new striker (whoever that maybe?) until Richy moves on. Levy's one in, one out policy is still alive and kicking 🙂

[@SonnyTalksSpurs]

Think Saudi are in for him

[@philspur1882]

@@SonnyTalksSpurs Possibly, but it's up to Richy if he wants to go. Playing in Saudi won't help his chances of getting into the Brazil WC squad, and that's huge for him

[@SonnyTalksSpurs]

I think it is the attitude of Toney - Solanke is very humble and the age as well

[@jjr2574]

​@LevyHappyClapper toney would be absolutely frustrating, and I can see it coming. Ange ball is all about the no.9 running their guts out, pressing the keeper for 90mins. Sonny and Richi took turns to do that last season. Toney would never in a million years do that. Imagine not pressing properly and still keeping a very high line. Teams will literally walk through your midfield. Toney is no doubt a better all round player in terms of a traditional no.9 than solanke. But that pressing element definitely makes alot of difference for this system

@@SonnyTalksSpurs We need a striker. Son, Werner, Johnson, Maddison, all great at floating around the edges of the box. We just need someone big and hard who can push through into the box. We're missing that power up front. I don't know a lot about Solanke, but we need someone...

[@LevyHappyClapper]

@@_Dei_ exactly ... we just pass around the fringes until we lose the ball without taking a shot most of the time

[@SonnyTalksSpurs]

[@_Dei_]

This is where the Murhino and Conte years have messed us up. This is where we kind of need to give Ange some space and time. I don't blame Kane for leaving. He was too good a striker, and was having to push ever deeper just to get the ball under former managers. I personally don't think that Ange will last (I hope I'm wrong), but he's pointing us in the right direction. The youth coming through at Spurs should warm the cockles of every Spurs heart this cold winter's night (in this part of the world, anyway). Right now, I'd take a Llorente from that CL run, or even, say, a Chris Wood... Just someone, anyone, some man mountain who you'd fear to meet at 2am on a Saturday night walk home from the pub...
