Only two players in the 72 EFL clubs scored 20 goals last season. I don't think the solution is to be found there.

If you're looking for a Jack Harrison comparison, then Alan Smith is your man.

Nope. SB moved because he faced a pay cut. That's what human beings do.

Really? Not because the only way they could stay was by signing a contract on a lower salary? (Byram) Or that they were young and poorly advised ? (Gnonto)

Weren't we interested in him back in the Bielsa days...when he was at Stuttgart? #LUFC

None of them are remotely similar. Harrison chose to spend 2 years on loan elsewhere rather than help the club get back in the PL. His choice.

Not at all. You reap what you sow. #LUFC

If ever you needed a reminder of the glacial speed at which the football authorities work, it is the fact that Osmajic has scored for PNE today. It's 5 months since the 'abuse' incident V Burnley, and it's still unresolved #QPRVPNE

He was brilliant at the start of that season, but his form disappeared in October/November and he couldn't take being dropped.

Or because he was no longer playing for the team. Hadn't scored in the league for more than two months . I was at Watford for what I think was his last game and he was awful.

By the data yes, however the eyes say he's more similar to James.

😂😂😂

Football clubs are not franchises.

My comments apply to any football club which behaves in the same manner. Including the one I support. It appears that others get all defensive when the actions of their club are criticised.

My only worry would be that he might be too similar to James. Solomon would offer a different type of option.

I like Doak, and he has -potentially- a very high ceiling, however goals and assists are what counts, not carries into the box. At the moment Solomon has more end product. #LUFC

That's not a justification for people losing their jobs. And it's not the justification that the club used at the time.

Are you?

Pretty shameful that a club that makes 400 staff redundant then go out and spend £200m+ a few months later. That's modern football, I guess.

If any club bases it's transfer policy on the ethical standards held by individual players, then they're going have a very small pool of players to choose from.

Remind me how long we've needed a number 10 for?

A poor man's James Madison imho. Not as good as he thinks he is.

Is this the right time to point out that Josh Tongue averages 47 in the County Championship this season? #ENGVIND #CRICKET

No England batsman has looked as out of his depth for test cricket since Jason Roy #BETHELL #ENGVIND

Averages 2 goals per season in the PL. No thanks.

They're really telling us that Solomon is not better than Harrison?

Chris Wood it is then. We can't afford any of the others.

He was a level above our other 3 wingers in the second half of last season imho. I'd be happy to see him return.

Repeatedly failed? That's harsh. 24 games, 4 goals, 2 assists before getting injured.
