Dominic Solanke
newterp:
Why did we sell him knowing that AFCON was coming this year? Foolish.
Drinks Sangria:
Gone a touch undiscussed given Mitrovic's obscene goal haul, but Solanke's put together a quality season at Bournemouth and has been a major reason for their position at present - poised for automatic promotion.
He has 26 goals so far, with 5 left to play, 14 behind Mitrovic but 5 ahead of Brereton Diaz. That's an amount that wins or shares the Golden Boot in 13 of the last 20 seasons.
He'll likely stay at Bournemouth and lead the line for them in the Premier League next season and I think that's the last he'll see of the Championship for quite some time, regardless of Bournemouth's fortunes. He's maybe not become the World Class player we envisioned but he's certainly physical, showcases good movement and is a quality finisher. Klopp certainly saw something in him and that's coming to the fore now.
Spanish Al:
Was surprised when he moved as Klopp seemed to like him and give him a fair few minutes. Always thought he’d turn into a decent pl level striker.
I assume we have some sort of buy back clause, be interesting to see if it’s something we do look at if he comes up and continues impressing next season. He’s clearly not at our level but still young enough and good enough for Klopp to perhaps think he can still mould him into a proper player.

Almost certainly, and almost certainly never likely to be used. He's 25 in September, obviously not a grandad but considering that's generally the sort of age we sign first team players at he's way, way off the sort of level he'd need to be at.
Spanish Al:
Didn’t realise he’d be 25 heading into next season, thought he was a couple of years younger than that for some reason.
Still nice to see him doing well, will likely get a bigger move at some point and hopefully we also have a sell on clause and pick up some change from that then!
