Dominic Solanke

This is nothing new. When RLC was 17, he was supposedly making £1.7m a year.

Supposedly is the key word here as lots of avenues quote a £5000 a week basic salary, which is over 6 times less than that.

 
I wouldn't even have the cheek to demand those kind of wages. £50,000 ? i would be happy to be earning £5000. If i was a footballer and a club like Chelsea offered me £5000 a week to stay in shape, use some of the best training facilities in the world and play some football matches, i would be so happy. I wouldn't even dare say to them that i want £50,000.

What Mata said the other day about youngsters is so true.

 
Changed my mind on this one, he is fully justified in making outrageous demands as its the only way any of them can get noticed. Seeing the same players fail every single week knowing there is nothing they can do to get dropped already having pissed away the entire season is f**king maddening, Conte needs free reign to shatter the dressing room and do whatever the f**k he wants. Except stick with 4231.

 
Traore scored 12 and pretty sure he was never a striker before then.

That is what happens when you give one unproven youngster a huge contract. Now everyone wants one.

 
Game ended with 3 Chelsea players in the front three. We are also well represented in the U21, they just don't make the step up to the Senior squad because we don't play them.

 
Anyone know whats happening with solanke? Is he going back to vitesse? Did he extend his contract?

Who knows but he was involved with England this summer... given his contract situation he's most likely biding his time before making a decision about his future. Given his supposed contract demands personally I'm indifferent as to whether he stays or goes this/next summer.

Any more news on what's happening with Solanke?

We have three similar aged English forwards - I wonder who the club see's as the most likely to make it (if any), Solanke, Brown or Abraham?

I personally don't see Brown making it but hard to choose between Solanke & Abraham, but at least the latter looks to have got a good loan move this season.

 
Interesting he hasn't gone on loan...

We might need him too. We don't have many strikers left.

 
Yeah, apparently contract talks reopened, so maybe he gets some minutes at the end of games (or as backup if/when Diego is suspended)?  Not sure where he is in relation to RLC as second striker...
