Think he needs a thread all of his own.
He genuinely looks the real deal.
There aren't many 16 year olds that don't look out of place in football at whatever level you play at.
But to not look out of place in professional high level football is pretty exciting.

We’ve always had rhythm but now we’ve got Sol.

Mama is a club legend for us, but to all intents and purposes, he was a cult hero and not a player that was coveted by the rest of the league.
Sol however looks like he could be on his way to the very, very top.

I've decided the only song that can ever be sung for him is
Sol, Sol, Sol, Sol
Sol, Sol, Sol, Sol
Sol, Sol, Sol, Sol
Sol, Sol, Sol, Sol
To this tune

Do we know how protected we are with his contract? Can we command a fee or is he on a youth deal still if a top club comes in?

I hope he was substituted in the 87min just for the purpose of giving him the applause of the fans

Just think, he might spend the next 3 years really developing his game and getting better, and he'll still be a teenager.

AN seems to believe in him as well, and doesn't seem phased by playing someone so young.

My biggest concern with Neil and possibly unfairly was he wouldnt play the youth players.
By playing Sidibe hes shown if you are good enough you'll get on the pitch which is great news. What makes this even better is its Mamas lad.
This is incredibly early days but i really hope Sol goes all the way and hes the kind of player that can help bind the fans and team together.
The momentum of the club does feel like its starting to dial towards positive.

Can we keep a bit quiet about him please, or if we are going to have a thread keep your voices down.
Scared stiff of losing him already.
Credit to AN btw

Great for the other young guns too. They'll see Sol getting nearly 90 mins and it should spur them on.
Tezgel will get minutes if he can get himself properly fit I'm sure of it.

He just looks so at home in the men’s game.
I’ll be honest I’ve not really heard of him before as a player breaking into the first team but wow really impressive.
16 years old FFS!
Well done Sol, maybe that midfield signing isn’t so pressing after all

Just think, he might spend the next 3 years really developing his game and getting better, and he'll still be a teenager. If he carries on like this he’ll be long gone by then. Mind you I think about Ethan Ampadu - 22 and at Leeds. Started at Exeter and Chelsea paid liars for him when he was 16/17. Loans abroad and here. Full Welsh international. Point being that’s not a bad career trajectory. |
