Topic: England International Dominic Solanke

[him_15]

Welcome Dominic, hope Klopp can bring out the best from you.

[Redcap]

Without having seen much of him beyond clips, he looks like he has a great awareness of space, decent speed and physicality and a good range of finishes. Looks like he's reasonably hardworking as well.

The fact that he's all of the above and also probably not injury prone already means we have an upgrade on our fourth choice striker.

Dominic Solanke is an anagram of 'Oi! Damn slick one!'.

[Mighty_Red]

It's a good move knowing that we cannot be sure when Ings will be in a fit state to play for us plus the fact that we cannot sign academy players (albeit they are much younger).

Criticism would only be warranted if there was little or no other business done this summer. Since it is only the 1st June, there is no need to start whinging.

Welcome to Liverpool Dominic, hope you do well and force you way into the team!

Tomkins is just the opposite side of the same coin of hyperbole. An extended essay about a Chelsea reserve player - filled with references to the true striking elite of the last generation.

Did a similar article about the Spurs kids we signed - along with countless others over the years. He's as bad as the people he criticises.

Maybe just sit back and see how he develops? Worth a punt for £3m but it's not exactly something to get excited about...although may turn out that way in future...and certainly not something to get furious about.

Well said that man

[newterp]

Well said that man

Need someone to balance out the AL555's of the world.

[stockdam]

Welcome Dominic and I hope you show how good you are here

[daggerdoo]

The more I see, the more I think this signing is an absolute steal at ~£3m.

The more i see, the more i know. The more i know, the less i understand!

Fab article. This lad looks the real deal; great awareness, speed, nice technique, and strength. Cheers Chelsea!

This man speaks the truth.

I hope I don't see you posting in any match threads or giving your opinion on a film you've watched.

Careful. This might get redacted for being silly.

Forum mentality sometimes  is 'drink the kool aid' or don't have an opinion

[Marty McFly]

Welcome kid !

Big boots to live up to (EDIT: "fill", no one lives up to boots...) seeing as the last young striker to come in this direction was Studge...

Anyway, I jest.. No pressure

Welcome and YNWA

He looks as good a teenage talent as any but only a small fraction of that talent go on to the level high enough to be Liverpool's starting striker. It's a punt but for the potential, if feels like a really good one.

I regard him as a one for one replacement for Jerome SInclair. For the price, I think that's about right. Spot duties for us here and there, with the potential for more minutes if he improves.

Playing today v Mexico at 12pm on Eurosport 2

[poopscoop]

perfect timing second half has just started

[MBL?]

Just scored.

[poopscoop]

And Mr Solanke has scored

[Butcher Knife Roberto]

So yeah, he definitely knows where the goal is. Lovely finish there. £3 million? Absolute steal in the current market, the kid clearly has tons of potential.

[ggcc14]

what was his goal like?

[scalatore]

Good goal that. He got a great ball through, to be honest, but our man Coutinho could give him those to finish all day.

First time I've watched him play. Looks dangerous. Smart signing for us.

[_Redman]

here's the goal

[ggcc14]

hmm it was alright, nothing to write home about. Looking forward to having a player wear 01 for us, never seen that before.

[poopscoop]

the setup for Lookman later on was much better. Showed he wasn't a greedy bastard and has a bit of game intelligence.

hahahahahahahahaha.

(that "clip" was horrendous)

[fewmin' bedwetter]

That's one thing I noticed in the clips I've seen since we announced it - he's always looking to play a teammate in.

[Djimi Smicer34]

Thought he did well, worked his socks off up front and got the winner.

There are some good prospects in this squad, it will be interesting to see how many of them go on to establish themselves at the highest level.

Lookman - The forgotten man of Goodison.

[SerbianScouser]

Impressive. Would be great for his confidence to become a World Champ this summer. Here's hoping.

looks better too.

[Antoine Lavoisier]

Lets hope he becomes a leg end.

Lets hope he becomes a leg end.

I too hope he becomes a foot.

He scored at both ends then. Already a leg end.

[Kopenhagen]

Some of his passes in that clip were excellent. He's got some very nice vision; seems naturally creative.

Think we've got a gem here.
