What's new

Dominic Solanke

If we won't have any striker, then Jose must play him or Brown. I hope this dream will come true to him or Brown.

To be fair, I'd love to see that.

And imagine if we won, or he put in a decent shift, it would be among the most hilarious things ever seen on a football pitch, including David James' five-minute stint as a striker under Stuart Pearce.

 
"Next year [solanke] has two ways to go. For me it would be a big mistake for him to go on loan to another team in England or in Europe."

"Staying at Chelsea, training with the first team, having pre-season with the first team, sometimes covering the main strikers, and playing every week again for the Under-21s and the Under-18s - he would probably never need to go out on loan. He can just go step by step here, and in a couple of years [he will be a] first team player."

 
Lots of positive noises from Jose about him and lofts cheek....really starting to believe he's more committed than ever to bringing youth players through

 
Although he never talks about Bamford in the same way...not sure he is looking at him as a genuine contender for the squad or not

You mean this?

‘Ruben is a great example. He was never on loan. He was just working and waiting and now he knows next season he is a first team player.’   ::clap2::   ::clap2::   ::clap2::  

 
Yeah and it's not the first time he's said it about Ruben, so is clearly not saying it for effect...that's why I'm a bit worried for Bamford...not once has he said he will be part if things, all he has said is he should concentrate on getting promoted with boro...and if he sees solanke as filling young striker slot, there is no room for him as well

 
Loftus-Cheek, Brown and a couple of others have been "first team players" this season though, training with the first team, on the bench a number of times and given squad numbers, doesn't mean they've played any games. Whilst I would like to believe Jose, I'll believe it when I see it.

 
3 goals and an assist against liverpool today  ::clap2::   :redcard:

In Bamford's case perhaps Jose feels some 'tough love' is needed...

How is Solanke's 41 goals broken down? Because according to the U21 PL website he only has 10 in that competition which makes him =4th in the league.

In that context it doesn't look quite as impressive.
