The same was said for Hazard and Bernardo also. I mean the biggest issue with Solomon was very much his injuries even before he joined us. Who knows how good Solomon could have been but unfortunately throughout his career, thus far at least, he has been plagued by injuries. This goes back to his time at youth football. During his hot streak for Fulham he certainly didn’t look out of place in the PL until he got injured. Again.
Agree. Unless we add some extra financial incentives i don’t see us doing any deals with them any time soon.
Depending on what we value him at, say Shakhtar want a ‘reasonable’ sum and it’s below either Spurs current value/likely future value then it shouldn’t be beyond the realms of possibility paying an additional £8-10m for him to cover the loss they incurred for Solomon.
Would def be a great option and he’s left footed as well. Having a very good season thus far. At that price I imagine there will be a lot of interest but certainly within our budget.I feel like we should be all over this. The lad can play #10, #8 and RW.

This assist v Dortmund wouldn't look out of place on our wing.
Massively inconsistent though. In 74 games for Dortmund, he has scored and assisted 32 but they have been done in 21 games and he has been subbed at half time in 5 games.
Agree, he is monumentally inconsistent. This season was the first time I’ve started to think he’d turned a corner as with the exception of the Stuttgart game (and that was just a poor performance all round) he’s been looking sharper on the whole… until he got injured that is. He’s clearly a very talented player with devastating speed but too many question mark’s to be considered a real target unfortunately. When In the zone he’s near unplayable tho and I hope for his sake he can overcome his injury issues.
Is it a case of baena or Millot though?
For me Adeyemi has shades of Salah who was also wildly inconsistent for a long long time and known for his poor finishing until it sort of just clicked for him.
It would be a stretch. Millot has had some excellent games out wide this season most notably against BVB. But in those games he still operates as a wide playmaker and comes central a lot. He doesn’t really attack the box like a forward. Very similar to how Baena plays on the left for Villarreal really.
He’s been playing as a RW mostly this season for Lecce. No doubt he’s very talented but he needs a lot of work on the defensive side of his game to be considered a viable option at LB I think.
Sounds like he’s not ready for us in Jan
Unless we sold Maddison, 1 or the other. I like both players, but I think Millot fits us better personally and I doubt Baena could play in CM with Maddison, where as Millot could. You definitely wouldn't want both playing on wings at the same time either in this system and I think Millot suits us more on the wing than Baena does but still not ideal.
Yes but it is the championship
