I personally will be gutted if we dont manage to secure Kent on another years loan/sign him, i find him an exciting player who gets bums up off the seat
Solanke is an excellent England 19s/21s player, has a full cap and was involved in CL semi finals with Liverpool etc. His CV is miles better than Kent's.

Ryan Kent's stock has risen north of the border during his season under the guidance of Kop legend Steven Gerrard at Rangers.
The PFA Scotland Young Player of the Year has kick-started his career after difficult spells with Freiburg and Bristol City last term.
Gerrard is keen to secure his services on a permanent basis but Liverpool's £12million price tag means Kent's future is likely to lie elsewhere.
But .......but....Lewis Ferguson and x,y & z are better!!!!!
The year before Kent came to us was he not playing for Bristol City and was honking playing for them?
But as people are saying,surely it will come down to Kent's decision and based on that surely he will know he won't be furthering his career playing for the likes of Fulham,surely Rangers will meet his aspirations in that he has European football,hopefully C.L.One of the promoted teams will pay that type of money and Fulham were also interested and will use some of the Mitrovic money to get him.
I would have been happy if we looked to pay £5-6m for him but £12mis way too big a risk to take. One hammer thrower tackle and it's £12m sitting on the sidelines for a year.
Liverpool don't pay young players stupid money. That's how Dele Alli fell through there systemYou need factor in the agent and of course the wages 12 million player probably on 70/80 K minimum may be more would we be willing to smash or wage structure .
He did well for us we did well for him there will be others out there
I would love to keep him here but not for anywhere near that price. I'd be happy with Murphy in his place.
Kent is far younger
Less likely to pick up a serious injury
Has sell on value
I'd say Murphy is the more effective player and I'd rather have him in the team now. Obviously Kent will improve and has the other advantages you said but wouldn't pay £12m for that. Would still love to keep him though.
What he’s worth and what clubs are willing to pay are different matters. Bournemouth paid £19m for Solanke isn’t worth half that imo. £12m is peanuts to clubs in England’s top 2 divisions.12m? Get to %^*&.
As good as Kent is he's nowhere near 12m worth right now.

I think £5 million or so is a reasonable offer,if there is a 20% sell on clause , we should be stipulating that the 20% is due on the profit once we have recouped our original investment.Offer £5milln and 20% sell on fee.
He hasn't done well down south and I doubt people will want to spend £12 million on the back of one season at Rangers.
Liverpool Echo inflating prices
For a proven international striker, who gave a return of a goal every other game.
I don't see a comparison, or what your point is, sorry.
I don't, think Middleton is far off Kent when he arrived. Rangers do not need to spend significant funds on Ryan Kent.
Google translate required.Ken who would rather hae,
Has Liverpool actually said this, No they have notMadness.
He’s reasonably entertaining to watch week-to-week but in terms of cold hard numbers he’s not contributing near enough for competitive, men’s football.
Shows how mental the EPL prices are.
I quite like him but some.of the figure being thrown around are crazy.Our only chance of buying him is a 5m fee tops and giving Liverpool a 40% sell on clause.
My feeling as well.Kent is good but he’s a million miles from “great” (even in SPFL money).
More flicks and tricks than end product.
I hope we keep him for next season but won’t lose sleep if we miss out on him.
However he is young and will get better. Hopefully that is with us.
