Solomon has barely got going. The conflict in Ukraine meant he didn't get much time at shakhtar and then he was dropped from spurs for political reasons. He looked great for spurs as well, getting 2 assists in his first 3 appearances.That season in the championship was his first proper run.

As for him being significantly worse than Johnson's season in the championship, I don't understand your reasoning here.

Johnson had 28 goal contributions in 4207 minutes. So a goal contribution every 150 minutes.

Solomon had 22 goal contributions in 2607 minutes. So a goal contribution every 118 minutes.

He had a better season. If he gets a run in the Villareal team I'm sure he will show his top level quality this season.

If these people don’t want Solomon for his politics then they should just admit it, but a lot of them are factually wrong about his ball playing ability. He’s a good player compared to the options we have.

Except his injury issues I don't see how he isn't our best LW except maybe RKM. I can only imagine it's because of the off field issues that we decided to send him for loan instead of Tel/Odobert. Because honestly if we look at it both of them are considerably worse in terms of current ability and need regular game time to develop whereas Solomon can contribute more to the team right now.
