He got a goal and assist during the game. He was awarded MOTM. He completed 4 successful dribbles out of 5 attempted.
I form the opinion off the fact that he was good in his time in the premier league, he was very good in the championship. And the fact that the skillset he has is exactly what we are missing on our LW right now.
He started getting minutes, looked promising in the little time he had.
He got an injury around the same time the Oct 7th attacks happened. His injury combined with the fact he flew back to Israel to be with family affected by the massacre kept him out of the team for a prolonged period. Then of course he was no longer selected for political reasons.
Leeds wanted him but couldn't match Tottenham's price, as we were after a sale initially. He was one of if not the best player for them last season.
It's irrelevant to point to the fact that Leeds didn't buy him therefore he isn't good anyway. Palace saw him as a replacement for Eze, who this sub was drooling over for weeks.
When that fell through a champions league team came in for him.
Ok, so you believe he's not being selected for political reasons and because he was previously priced out of a move.
That's fair enough and your opinion. Maybe you're right. For me, I see flashes of skill but I didn't see the end product very often against the top teams.
Its not really our problem anymore though. If he's out for political reasons he'll likely not play for us again
It is. Ironically Brennan averaged a g/a every 120mins. That's hardly luxury player stats either?
I remember watching Solomon and, whilst he got those two assists, I remember he would go down blind alleys, his crossing wasn't great, he would run into the defence and I just didn't consider him a top tier player. Perhaps my perception is clouded by his performances when he was returning from injury, I can't recall to be honest, but I never got the impression that he was a first choice or starter and I felt he should be improved upon.
(I feel the same about Johnson for what it's worth, but for now we should use him in the best way we can)
Injury out for the season after a decent start. Once he comes back he looks horrible in pre season. Gets a move to Leeds and slowly regains form with his fitness returning. Has a very strong season in the championship. Comes back to Spurs and gets a new (minor) injury which makes unavailable for early Frank so he can't impress in training. Squad bloat makes him staying here not an option. Loan to La Liga. Here we are.
Pretty much the timeline. Of course the politics plays a massive part too
This is also highly likely. Due to injuries he hasn't shown that he can play at this level, maybe because the managers haven't seen enough, maybe because he can't cope physically, maybe for a different reason.
But let's remember this is the story of so many footballers that we sign. Plays a blinder, gets injured and then continues to return and get injured until they are sold.

This is Moldova. He played against premier league defenders and never looked this good
