The bloke who wrote that is the guy I know. He is a grade-A 'twonk'.
Think this may happen. If only because we need the money (or so those in the know seem to think) and it may get us by for another season.
Would mean Lawrie Wilson at RB and I wouldne be surprised - think that was the plan last year. Otherwise why pay such a fee when we were supposedly broke last year.
Even if they are interested can they meet TJ's valuation? He priced Villa out on Stephens and he'll know Solly's potential, also Prem clubs are getting more TV money this summer I'd at least be asking for £4/5m for him
He is as tall as baines and alves. In the modern game as a Full back being able to defend and attack effectively is more important than height.
Both of which are utilized for their pace and attacking threat. Solly is very decent going forward but he's not going to smash in goals from 30-40 yards.

with a guaranteed 60m for being in the premier league next season they could probably afford to buy him for 4-5m, give him 20k a week and then never play him.

No he is not. But his delivery has improved this season. He could excel in the Premier league i have no doubts. Just hope if he goes that he goes to the right club.
Taking his age, ability, value to the team into account (player of the year two seasons in a row) and also the fact Solly isn't desperate to leave I don't see why we can't say 6m take it or leave it.

I think if he leaves it will be the club's work not his.
The nightmare scenario is that the Stripey Nigels win the play offs because they would be in with the PL chequebook for him. I could just about bear to see him in Claret and Blue with six mill in our bank account (for as long as it stayed there or was spent on reinforcements, neither of which should be assumed) but not feckin Stripey red and blue FFS!

Why would he go there? If Palace do get promoted they are odds on to get relegated next season and he could end up playing in the Championship again, he's far too good to have to go there just to play in the premiership.
We should sell him this summer - or get him to sign an extension. In a season we could lose him for nothing.

You obviously didn't see his goal at Blackpool then.

I work with someone who is a good friend of Solly's and he says that Solly is expecting a move to WHU this summer. However, no bids have been made and a lot of details would have to be right for this to happen. He also said that in no way is Solly "screaming" for this move.
I would love to keep Chris Solly and certainly wouldn't want him to go for less than £5m. I think he would do brilliantly in a top half Prem team and could even end up playing for England. He has to be worth that.

Then again, there's just as much a chance they've pulled it from speculation on message boards and similar stories from last year.

Solly after a year performing very well at a higher level is easily worth at least 5m.
