Saw a lot of talk on the Echo after signing Solanke to the effect that "this is a joke signing because we've been linked with £50m players and only signed a kid for £3m"
People need to get a grip. Calm down! This is the first signing of the summer. Save your criticism (or heaven forbid, praise) for the end of the window!
Similarly to posters below fretting about how many of our targets we are going to get. Take a deep breath and chill. JK got things mostly right last summer. Our days of buying inappropriate players because we can't get our main targets (Benteke) are over. FSG have consistently backed our manger. This will be a good summer; wait and see.

Isn't Solanke a signing for our u23s initially? Why are people moaning about him? He could well come in handy in a couple of years if Ings never recovers completely from his injuries. Instead of wasting more money on Ings in a few years time, we could have a ready made replacement in Solanke waiting in the wings eager to prove his worth.

Exactly, IB and Andy. The rush of blood to the brain that seems to engulf some of the posters on here is becoming embarrassing. Nowhere have I seen that Solanke would be in the first team so don't know what they are moaning about. Also, Solanke left a club where they couldn't be bothered about giving youth a chance, to a club where if he does his job and keeps his head down, he will get his chance (s) like Woodburn, Ojo and Gomez have. Everyone just chill out and enjoy the summer cos it will be exciting.
