Incoming? Dominic Solanke

[ShropshireBlade]

Soccer Sauce
We understand that Sheffield United are in contact with Chelsea regarding a season loan deal for exciting forward Dominic Solanke #SUFC

Who??????????

 

[SouthEssexBlade]

Is he the kid that scored the goals in the youth final against Fulham?

 

[S5Blade]

He is 16. Surely not the answer to our Striker problems?

[Westran]

There's a few decent reviews online with a quick google of his name. Very promising youngster, but it'd be his first full season as a first team regular, like Coady but a striker.

Not sure if it's worth the risk, Chelsea would want him to get games and I'd hope we wouldn't stop at just him as our big striker signing.

 

[Going up]

Seems like a great risk to take to me...wouldn't cost much and could be a super sub much like Bamford was. Certainly has an eye for goals.

 

[Kev Gee]

Take him till Jan & then see how we go?
Surely they wouldnt expect us to start him anyway.

and Chedders will be back and firing by then

Younger than my son! Now I feel really old!

 

[sheffielder]

If he is good enough, he is old enough. From what I have looked up on You Tube he looks a talent

 

[Reedy1889]

Can't do any worse than when we had the young unproven John Cofie.... surely

Only one appearance in their u21? Are there two or three ahead of him, while he's considered too good for the u18 level? May make sense to offer him regular U21 action with us as there's a lack of out and strikers among our youngsters.

Eeeshk! Has anyone ever looked anything other than a talent on youtube?



UTB

UTB

No, I go to redtube for that

 

[sufcboy95]

liverpool apartently keen to loan him out. Maybe would be the striker we need. Unlikely to drop to championship though

 

[Pollingtonblade]

We’ve already got one useless article from Liverpool

 

[Houston_Blade]

I'd say Liverpool might be unwilling to let us borrow another player when the one we have can't get a sniff, although I'm sure if they sent us a decent one we"d play him.

 

[Mouth of the South]

I know "but wages" is regularly banded about but Solanke, who is on £80k/week is so far out of Utd's league that it's daft to even think about it

 

[Fanny magnet]

West ham.and palace after him

£80k a week... No wonder he's not getting near Liverpools first team, not exactly motivation is it. He'll earn more in a year than I will in my life.

Wouldn't touch him with a barge pole cos I doubt he has the hunger... too much, too young

 

[BerksBlade]

Signed for Bournemouth for £19m.

£40k a week less than Defoe.

 

[Ricky]

A first option agreement for Brooks could be part of that deal.

 

[Brian Deane]

Mebbe there is someone else at Bournemouth hence the confusion with Defoe ?

 

[Hague Blade]

Anyone explain why Solanke is worth half as much again as Brooks?

 

[itsinyerblood]

Anyone explain why Solanke is worth half as much again as Brooks?

Although not based in logic, I think it's as simple as Solanke comes from Liverpool FC and Brooks came from little old United. Is there any reason behind why one player is worth this and another player is worth that? I wish I knew, but there it is.

 

[Ranmoorblade]

Anyone explain why Solanke is worth half as much again as Brooks?

Because January prices are inflated and Liverpool aren’t desperate to sell.
