Dominic Solanke

[Fulham Broadway 16,860]

Impressive English 17 year old made his senior debut coming on for Oscar in the Champions League against Maribor. Having scored 18 times for the academy last season a similar proliferation of goals in the seniors would be most welcome, -providing he gets enough playing time in the next few seasons. Loan deal is the norm though....

Finally, Solanke thread

our 4th striker at the moment and just turn 17 !

if Drogba retired in a year or two and become coach or something, I would like Solanke to be our 3rd striker. Maybe it is too much to ask, but one can only hope

I want to see at least one young player we could develop by playing and training with the first team until he is ready, not loaning them around, and still just see them on the bench most of the time.

It will be interesting to see who makes it here between him and Bamford. For my money Bamford is the better finisher while Solanke is the better all round player. We have another gem in Tammy Abraham having an astounding breakthrough season in the academy. It feels good to say the present and the future does look bright and not many teams can boast such a claim.

Finally a topic for young Dom Solanke. Was so happy for him to get his debut. I really love his game from the youth matches I've seen. Hoping we see more of him in the senior side this season.

Doubt he will make it as he is a youth player and we never let them come trough, will prob end up going on loan for the next 5 years, sad really cos he looks a massive talent

Costa-Bamford-Solanke in a few years (:

My favourite prospect in the academy. If he brings certain things together he can be a wonderful striker.

This boy just has so much class. Excellent so far against City and is (along with Beeney) alone keeping us on level terms despite a below average performance.

He's had a fantastic 2014. Massive, massive talent.

He will never get a fair chance though

Hat-trick now.

EDIT: FT. It finished 6-1.

[!Hazard! 3,394]

Could he play as a winger? On the right side obviously.

This guy cannot stop scoring. He scored 2 tonight in our U21 3-1 win over West Ham. Just reading up on him on our youth twitter page. Those goals tonight make his goal tally for the season 22 in 19 appearances. Brilliant

Just imagine the amount of goals he will be on come the end of the season.
