Early days but this could be a bargain in this crazy transfer market.

He's great on FIFA 17.

Like his attitude. Getting on the ball and getting involved in the play. That's the kind of attitude that will get him places.

This lad really does have all the tools, he looks like a "perfect" 9 if you know what I mean. I know it's not the greatest level but this tournament has produced some great players down the years.

I think talk of him being with the u23's was just to keep the compensation down. If we don't sign a striker but do get a winger I think he'll start the season as 7th choice attacker for the front three. With one or two of those being midfield options I think he'll get a chance fairly quickly.

As for the person who said Lookman looks the standout. I really don't see it. Whilst he looks very good Solanke is playing the 10 role with aplomb, probably the hardest position on the pitch with hold up play, creativty, dropping into centre midfield and playing as striker as times.

he didn't leave chelsea's first team squad to join our under 23s.

the club is perhaps dialling down expectation but i expect him to be at least on the bench from the start of next season.

I expect that he will start his LFC career with the U-23's, because we don't really have a striker at that level. But, I expect him to get his chances in the League Cup, and if he does well, his position on the squad will probably be re-assessed.

I think he will play for our first team and be a success next season

I think he's Batman.

newterp · « **Reply #289 on:** June 9, 2017, 08:25:24 pm »

Btw - Does he hamper Woodburn's development towards the first team? I think Woodburn won't end up as a striker.

It can be noticed that he has trained with Diego Costa.

Turned my attention to watching this lad on the u21 side and its keeping the smile on my face amidst the other goings on. Looking forward to seeing him in action sunday

Looks like a talented striker who has all the tools including size,decent pace,finishing and technical ability to be a success for us,very excited.

DanA · « **Reply #295 on:** June 10, 2017, 11:26:56 am »

He stole Andy Carroll's first touch.

But other than that, he looks a cracking player.

If we sold Solanke for £20m right now I would not be happy at all.

Bargain.

It would be mad not to gamble on young strikers these days as it seems 50million is about the starting price for good strikers. Crazy stuff but that's where it seems to be. If this guy can walk onto the pitch without tripping he's worth 10million.

Sounds right to me. If he can ride this WC form into preseason I think we'll see him a part of the first team set up from the start.

JD. · « **Reply #300 on:** June 10, 2017, 11:28:40 pm »

Reckon he could be the Ings replacement. Can't see this lad leaving Chelsea to come here - in search of a better chance at first team football - if he was going to be 5th choice.

Don't think we'll sell Ings - nobody would buy him - but I could see us loaning him out to help him regain some fitness. So Solanke steps in to the 4th choice role of getting cup games etc.

From the very little I have seen of him, he's promising. Any young tall striker we get under Klopp I am just desperate for them to somehow become our version of Lewandowski.

seal75 · « **Reply #301 on:** June 11, 2017, 08:36:41 am »

If he left Chelsea it's not come here and play U23 football

Well, he's not going to be a first team starter for us. That's for sure.

ScubaSteve · « **Reply #304 on:** June 11, 2017, 08:47:06 am »

Im going to miss most of the match this morning but good luck lads!!

One more goal for joint top scorer to match the likes of Messi and Aguero who've received this accolade in the past!

This has really pissed off a lot of Chelsea fans and that's good enough for me ! If this lad continues on this trajectory we could see him in the first team pretty soon and then we will know if we have just got the bargain of this window. Certainly has all the attributes and needs his chance to show has that he can use them at the very top level. Looks a very good player

Guys any stream for the game via acestream? Hoping for the best for all three liverpool players today.

Venezuela have only conceded 2 goals in 6 matches. England have had a tougher route though beating Argentina and Italy on the way.

Kick off in 5 minutes, should be good

It's on Eurosport 2 by the way if anyone has it. Should be a good game come on Solanke!

Definately should have buried that - he'll never make it here

Very impressed by his movement and he's comfortable going out wide to pick up the ball which is good to see.

Lookman looks brilliant and he links up very well with Solandowski, Calvert Lewin doesn't look all that.
