He was good again today. Keeps being a menace and creating goals
My previous posts on him questioned mostly if we had space for him.An important player for us. No-brainer signing him
Where does Solomon fit then?I’ve been sceptical of whether we should sign him permanently, but despite how sometimes he can be frustrating, he continues to contribute & can be a good squad player next season.
He's a constant threat. Another very good performance from him.He was good again today. Keeps being a menace and creating goals

I think Gil has to move on. If we don't get an offer then frustratingly another loan it is.Think he’ll stay & Gil will be moved on
100% this. He used to have it too at Leipzig (1st spell)thought he had a good game but good lord, he can be so tentative and passive at times. if he grew some bravery he could even better. truth be said, at least he is now taking off his man off the dribble often. taking steps in the right direction.
To be fair Johnson is doing it well. A couple goals now where he's made that run into the 6 yard box. Should have scored 2 but for a good save. Just one missed out on 2nd half where Werner whips it in and he was a bit on his heels. All in all they're a good combination.Oh, for a striker to read and get on the end of what he is serving up.
Spot onMy previous posts on him questioned mostly if we had space for him.
Our front three options would be: Son, Richarlison, Johnson, Werner, Kulusevski and Solomon with Veliz as the young backup.
I'm starting to think Kulu might need to play deeper and Solomon might be best off having a season on loan at a club where he gets to play regularly.
So Werner seems like a no brainer but it has to come with another attacking signing as well.
It’s a funny one becuase everyone was desperate for Dragusin and Werner was a left-field surprise. Dragusin may well turn out to be the more important signing of the two, but Werner has clearly made a more important impact on this season.One thing to note is Werner in Jan early is the type of signing we very rarely used to make under Levy and whilst I know Timo isn’t perfect, imagine where we’d right now if we hadn’t of signed him in Jan, I’m guessing between Jan and end of season having him in our squad will have been worth a good 5-6 pts.
Hope we sign him on a perm but it’s the fact we went out early in Jan and got him and Dragusin. The 2 positions we desperately needed which was refreshing, also credit Ange for this for being clear and realistic with what he needs and also assertively asking for it early in the window rather than Jose/conte with the cryptic negative bs winging and moaning at the end of the window when we’ve not signing anyone as levy won’t sanction £70mil for a 32yr old CB ETC.
Squad player or sold in summer.Where does Solomon fit then?
We must be able to do better.An important player for us. No-brainer signing him
Would be a strange thing for them to do given our first goal came from one.We must be able to do better.
I had the impression NF were happy to let him run as he usually produces nothing at the end of his run.
You say that but how many goals have come from him on his side in recent weeks? Luton OG, Johnson v West Ham and Forest OG. That's just the last three games and I believe he has had more before that as well with a couple goals too. And if not for saves Johnson would have had a couple more in the past week.We must be able to do better.
