Signing Werner means we have 6 players in Son, Richarlison, Johnson, Werner, Kulusevski and Solomon who are at a stage where they'll want to play relatively regularly.
Solomon is in my unknown category. I saw glimpses at Fulham and ourselves but not enough to make any real judgment.
you said it leaves us with a lack of special players. There's nothing stopping us also having young potential as well though. In fact we already do.
I think we can, if we create space in the squad for kulu to be used centrally too but I’m not sure ange wants to use him there much
.
Even if we do that I believe this pushes someone, likely Solomon, down the pecking order to 7th choice where he won’t get ample chance to play.
3 gk, 8 def, 6 mid, 6 fw, kulu and 1 other for a 25 man squad, it’s doable lots of competition and whoever can’t make many appearances will eventually move on
Lots of competition but guaranteed that some just won’t get a chance to play.
Unfortunate for him his injuries this year have deprived him a chance of regular football but we need to keep improving in anyway we can. In a perfect world he’d get fit and show something this season but if it doesn’t happen for him and he has to move on so be it
Improvement isn’t always through buying. I’m hoping we bought Solomon because he’s a quality player who fits how we play.
Sure it’s a balancing act and I agree with other posts you’ve made where you say we need a higher quality player in attack and the chances of that go down if we sign Werner, sadly for Solomon though Werner’s been able to offer more and seems more vital to squad than him. It’s sad the injuries have robbed him of the chance but we have to keep improving imo
You could be right. I just don’t think most of us, myself very much included, know enough about Solomon to just write him off after 1 injury ravaged season with us.
Yeah it’s been very unfortunate for him
