Levy is as Levy does. If he wasn't going free there's no way we would have even signed him.

"For me, 20%, 30% would be fair value. In this situation that would be fair value. We are going to bring legal action against Spurs if needed. But in any case, why I am appealing to the chairman of Spurs is because I believe he will give his hand and support us."
🗣 Shakhtar Donetsk CEO Sergei Palkin on Manor Solomon's transfer to Tottenham:
"Since October, we have been diligently engaged in negotiations with Tottenham. But finally Tottenham has not acted in a manner that reflects the principles of fairness and equity. In this situation, we feel a sense of disrespect from Tottenham. If you go deeply in my feelings during these months we have negotiated. Actually, we would like to appeal to Spurs chairman Daniel Levy to act in good faith and uphold the shared values of the European football family to find a fair way to compensate us in this transfer, what we are talking about."
"They offered something but it is not even serious what they offered. It is something like peanuts to show they are ready to give something but this is not comparable with what they received. A club like Tottenham cannot behave like this. It is a top, well-known worldwide club and to behave like they are doing is very strange. We negotiated with them for many months, we respected them and we didn't ask to be honest for some kind of huge amount. We didn't even ask for money. We said 'OK, give us a sell-on fee for the future'. When you receive a player free and this player is worth €20m - the transfer market always undervalues players - it means something."
"It means we developed and invested in this player. You should respect our work. If we all say we are one football family and after that you receive a player for free and don't pay attention to our side, it is not fair."

"We have war in the country and they should pay attention to this. When the war started in our country, the whole democratic world supported us. I am appealing to this kind of moral, to help us. But in any case, in our arguments with FIFA, yes we lost in CAS and it is difficult to fight against the system. But in any case, we believe if clubs receive something for free it is unjust enrichment. We will go to court and do our best to get some kind of compensation because we invest a lot of money into players and it is not possible to have this kind of situation. We need to share our problems and get help from clubs. If FIFA and the ECA say we are one football family, we should be a family and not like this."
🗣 A Tottenham spokesman said:
"We made a donation to Shakhtar's foundation following the friendly last summer and we continue to discuss this situation with them but not via the press."

Sounds like the same injury he said surgery on in October and I think he had knee surgery at Fulham last season too.

We can confirm that Manor Solomon suffered a meniscus injury to his right knee in training this week.www.tottenhamhotspur.com
This signing was a total waste of time. He’ll never do anything here.
Despite people clinging onto the usual he will come good faith. It’s not happening.

Unfortunately I think you may be right. It's a shame though, as he looked quite promising in the one game he did participate in. At worst, think he wasn't a bad bench option to bring on when the opposition tired. But we can't keep people on the books who are permanently crocked, just not sustainable.This signing was a total waste of time. He’ll never do anything here.

Or we can get rid of all 3 and actually sign quality players. That’s possible.Getting him on a free always seemed to feel like an opportunistic way to be able to quickly sell on for profit.
Get rid of him and Gil in the summer and replace them with Werner as depth.

This business of replacing average with more average never works.
what an absolute farce.
