Reading rangers have made an official offer for Solanke not sure if it's true.

Believable0 Unbelievable0

{Ed025's Note - they are desperate for a good forward jonesy...so why they are looking at him is beyond me mate.. :)

19 Dec 2018 23:24:30
No danger of them looking to the blue side of Liverpool then Ed ;)

Agree1 Disagree0

{Ed025's Note - they could do a lot worse than take DCL on loan for a couple of months bobby, hes going to be star that young man let me tell you, even oumar niasse would be the best player probably ever to play in the scottish league mate...have you ever watched the SPL?.. :)

Solanke to rangers is a potential great move. He should play week in week out, he'll be expected to score and if he does it'll do him the world of good. Could be a great loan deal.

Agree2 Disagree0

{Ed001's Note - not convinced, it means we will end up paying most of his wages, because there is no way they are going to pay the ludicrous amount we agreed to pay him. Personally I think we should look to sell him and get him off the wage bill.}

Interesting views.

From the little we've seen of him, I think Brewster is a better prospect and fits better with our style of play. It helps that he models himself on Firmino so should slot in more easily.

I think you said, Ed001, a while back that Solanke looked so good, in part, due to the fact that he was so much bigger than others in his age group, and now playing with men has exposed some weaknesses.

I guess, if we don't get an offer, a loan to Rangers would certainly demonstrate one way or another if he can cope with the physical nature of the mens game.

Agree1 Disagree0

{Ed001's Note - yes mate I stand by that comment, he is not that good technically or mentally. He has a father who is a pain in the arse and very demanding of the club as well. I don't believe he is anywhere near the player the club thought he was and is someone we should just get rid of asap.}

Any chance the deal could be permanent sir ed?

Agree0 Disagree0

{Ed001's Note - with his wage demands probably not.}

20 Dec 2018 06:26:31
Not like you to get carried away Ed lol, you will go and buy a forward now you have money and players like DCL will be forced to forge their careers at other clubs, as is the way with other clubs in the top echelon.

Agree0 Disagree0

{Ed025's Note - i hope not den, i think DCL needs some playing time and the pressure on top clubs to achieve results is so high that taking chances with youth is frowned upon mate, i believe he is talented and would hope he gets a chance with us but if not hones his game on loan somewhere and returns a more rounded player..

20 Dec 2018 09:42:30
Ed01, if I remember correctly, Chelsea refused to give in to Solankes greedy wage demands, but Liverpool were happy to pay what he demanded.
I also don't think he will make it at Liverpool, so it would make sense to get his wages off the bill. Why pay ludicrous wages to an unproven talent.

Agree1 Disagree0

{Ed001's Note - correct mate, Chelsea laughed at his demands.}

20 Dec 2018 09:05:16
DCL is an awful player Ed. So bad that you’re playing a winger that can’t finish as a striker ahead of him.
Rangers would be much better off with Solanke who does actually have a chance of being a top player ;)

Agree0 Disagree1

{Ed025's Note - no bobby he is a young guy who has what it takes to succeed, tall athletic and can put himself about a bit, he also has an eye for a goal and with a bit more experience will become a top top player i believe, vikram on the other hand is what johnny rotten is to opera im afraid mate.. :)

21 Dec 2018 10:23:29
Looks like I’ve got me a blue fish on the line Ed! I might throw it back though, they always taste a bit bitter ;-)
I always enjoy our banter! Lol. Hope you and your family have a great Christmas holiday mate.

Agree0 Disagree0

{Ed025's Note - banter is what its all about bobby, have a great one yourself mate..

Here is one to watch out for Felipe Anderson of West Ham will be scouted heavily this next 6 months. He is seen as another player with versatility to provide an option to the squad. Personally I like the lad and think he will be huge in the EPL.

He seems to have a fair bit of skill but I don't think he's better than what we already have.

Agree8 Disagree0

As an option to have on the bench and start games that need more creativity than directness he suits us to the T.

Said rumour. followed by comments tainted withthe same doubt that folowed many a signing before.

Agree2 Disagree0

I’ve watched him a lot for full games because my wife is WHU fan.

He’s decent but not good enough for the price he would cost. WHU paid up to 42mil for him and will want a tidy profit to lose their record signing.

I just think he lacks the overall quality for a title challenging team. He’s Europa league level for me.

Agree2 Disagree0

{Ed002's Note - I would not lose any sleep over it.}

19 Dec 2018 12:21:42
Fair comment @faithinworks. I’ll be the first to admit I was uncertain when we signed Shaqiri and clearly he’s had a great impact.

Agree0 Disagree0

19 Dec 2018 12:32:27
Don't think this would be a good move. He seems like a MOTD player who'll sparkle when the team is playing well, but disappear when the going goes rough. Also, I can't see us splurging £40-50m+ for an option of the bench.

Agreed 87.

Don’t see it happening after the money they spent on him and in turn would want for him but who knows.

Agree0 Disagree0

19 Dec 2018 17:14:46
Just hope we never sign him.
