As an actual Bournemouth fan, Solanke is an excellent footballer. He’s strong, quick, intelligent, technically very decent, presses extremely well, and has a fantastic work ethic. I imagine he’ll be the perfect striker in Ange’s system.

They clearly have no clue about how Bournemouth play, because once the system was bedded in we were statistically one of the top 5 teams in the league lol. Our entire style of play is very similar to Tottenham’s, and at points was better even.

Worth every Penny of that transfer fee.

Bournemouth play pressing football under iraola.. Quite strange pundits have little clue what they are talking about

[bryanjackson]

Having Solanke will also open up opportunities for other players to score. Now other teams cant concentrate just on Son. So its not just about Solanke scoring a butt load of goals to justify the &65mil. If other players are scoring due to teams having to account for Solanke and Spurs are winning. Then $65mil was well worth it. Its on Ange to tweak his system now that other teams are on to him and fix the F'n set pieces!!!

Souness tell me how Nunez was worth 90 million is it because he’s not suited to how Liverpool play that he can’t score.

And of course Hojland 70 million also bang average the same you guys are supposed to be objective but you never look at the bigger picture before you open your mouths

[Creativemnds]

I get the feeling with the ange system, the right number 9 will benefit immensly. Harry kane scored 4 in his last game for spurs under ange in preseason

[MH-iype]

We spent 60 million on richarlison and he's scored13 goals in 2 season... 11 of them last season... along as solanke scores more than 11 goals this season... hes an upgrade on richarlison

[stephenremnant]

He actually looks like a player we’re badly missing could be a great signing 🤞

£65m for a homegrown talent (homegrown tax), aged 26, knows the premier league, had a very good last season at Bournemouth, will be playing with better calibre of players, very attacking football, Ange as manager, like others said helps son, kulu, Johnson, madders, bergvall get more chances, more space. I think it will work out for him.

I also think £65m for a striker isn’t that much these days. How much was Hojlund £72m not proven in the PL.

Toney I think was off the table as soon as Brentford’s replacement striker got injured, let’s see if he goes still, his attitude/betting issues would be off putting for levy.

We were linked with David, Gimenez, Gyokeres etc all unproven in the PL and all would be more expensive, so what’s the bigger risk?

[alandillon]

Proof will be in the pudding, Spurs need a poacher, central box attacker. If you looked at the stats of where this guy operates it's a no brainer.

[MrSpurs]

The price is the price, dictated by the market and what a club is willing to pay, who cares. Which player isn’t a gamble - go and get an overseas player who may never settle in the PL, so less risk than that. Solanke is a pressing machine, can run in behind, can create space for a CAM, Johnson and Werner hit balls across the 6 yard box and Solanke will be perfect for that.

[williamainslie]

Think he'll get Tottenham closer to the title but won't improve them enough to win it

[jimtheyid]

65mil is excessive, but fair play to Bournemouth they get their asking price, and now we have to hope he's injury free and at his peak

[zorbathegeek]

Spurs had to buy an English striker - they need to meet the Premier league quota. It was therefore either Solanke or Toney (and Brentford suddenly needed Toney to stay); with Toney having rumours of a spikey personality it was Solanke or nothing. They simply had to buy him and they had to pay the price required.

[micksmith]

Lets be honest, he aint worth 65 mil, but good luck to him. Everyone deserves a chance

[BenAshby-oqiz]

Ange has always wanted players for his system, and Solanke fits that mould for the type of striker he is looking for. He likes to press high (I think he was right up there for that last season) which is exactly how Ange sets up, and he loves to be within the width of the 18 yard box - I lost count the number of times last season we (Spurs) had great crossing positions but NOBODY in the box to convert - if we can serve Solanke with a chunk of those opportunities that's a good 5-10 goals right there.

Is it expensive? Yes - but that is the state of the market these days, and especially English players it's an additional premium.

If he flops and only bags 5-10 goals all season then it can be viewed as a bad signing, but honestly I think he'll surprise a lot of people.

[fullmetalalkami]

Of course it's a good signing. Any proven PL experienced striker is generally a good signing, overpriced or not, Ange wanted him and he got him thats all that matters

[fogalmclovin]

The amount of times I cry to just float the ball in the box only to see son, Johnson or werner waiting! Yes Solanke is exactly what we need

[Grant]

Pundits used to moan Spurs didnt spend big money. Spurs spend big money and pundits moan

[MrCrashturner]

LOL, if Spurs spend, or don't spend enough, the club get chastised.

As for his stats, "85 PL starts / 30 PL goals. The rest are sub apps at Chelsea and Liverpool, at an avg of 13min. per appearance".

[rafavandee]

I hope he bangs goals galore in and shuts Souness up.
