[GibbosEmpire]

Reports coming out West ham offered £40 Mill for Solanke, Bournemouth must be thinking West Ham are drunk.

Even so, that’s crazy money surely, even in todays landscape?

 

[Aztec chimera]

Ridiculous money and just shows how big the gap is between the premiership and championship now.

 

[GibbosEmpire]

He's a good player I think, decent team player, and I'd definitely have him here, but no way for £40 mill.

 

[afcb_acklam]

the fees are ridiculous, of course

Utter madness, he’s a great championship player but only an average premier league one, not worth anywhere near that, and he won’t improve them.

I slightly disagree. I'd say he's an average prem player, but better than the champo.

"Dom Solanke,
He used to be Scouse,
Now he's got a seaside house,
20 million down the drain,
Dom Solanke scores again..."

(would work better if he was more prolific)

 

[TeaCider]

They signed him for £19m 4 years ago, he's only 24, and he's got 3 years left on his contract.

Ask for more than he's worth, and you either get a big return on the fee or you keep a player you don't want to sell.

He got 6 goals in the league last year, that’s his best season in the premier league. I’d say it shows how poor West Ham recruitment is if they’ve had all summer to find a striker and are now overpaying for a player they’ll have already known about.

Still waiting for the PL financial bubble to burst, and these eye watering transfer fees are brought to a more sustainable level.

And been saying this for 20 years.........

in his defence, he does play quite deep for us, dropping back into midfield. he's not a traditional front man. that said, he's not the most clinical striker when he does get chances. if he was, he wouldn't be at bournemouth. he won't go to west ham.

 

[BoroMart]

Superb technical player and great strength but couldn’t hit a barn door.

 

[Cardiffdaffs]

I wouldn’t have him in my FPL team to score goals that’s for certain. £40m is absurd money.

Totally agree, Newcastle have agreed a loan deal this season with Chelsea for 18 year old Lewis Hall, then buy next season £28m. The world’s gone mad

 

[sambaDTR]

He’s no Keiffer Moore!

 

[afcb_acklam]

He’s no Keiffer Moore!

now, he is a champo striker

 

[TheYorkshireTerrier]

West Ham make a desperate transfer bid, shock

No doubt with a 35m but back clause.

FIFA/uefa should ban buy back clauses. If a club deems they don’t want a player they shouldn’t be able to hold him to ransoms to go back in future possibly against their will.
