Possibly. Like many of our players, I don't truly know what they're like until they start playing for us. We're the only team I watch full matches of regularly.I wonder if people’s perception of him would be different if we signed him at his true market value rather than on a dodgy free transfer.
I keep seeing things about letting him go yet if you back to the start of his thread people were generally quite excited about his arrival.
I haven’t seen anywhere near enough of him to make a judgement either way.
Until they sign for us I'm going off the few full matches I've seen, highlights, Youtube videos and news articles or fan analysis.
With Solomon I like to think he was bought with a plan. But it's also possible he was bought as a short term player due to his low fee.
I think the talk of letting him go is largely to do with the players we're being linked with plus the fact we already have Son, Johnson, Richarlison etc performing better than he has.
Part of me thinks the timing of his injury and signings since means he just isn't going to get a chance here.
But maybe if the club had spent more money on him I'd have more faith that they really saw something in him.
