Roberto Soldado

[marksared]

There were plenty on here jizzing about him when we were vaguely linked with him in the summer.

Hence the thread revival...seriously feels good to see this deal going tits up though, God knows we've bought plenty of dross over the years

[john316]

Nearly £60m on him and Lamela looks like business which should have cost Baldini his job.

This is what I said back in July.

I'd be disappointed if we went for Soldado full stop. Disappears for large chunks of the game, requires space beyond the defence to run into. He doesn't press, doesn't move into channels to add fluidity to the team. Valencia absorb pressure and play the counter attack. We don't. He's also very wasteful, despite bagging a number of goals.

Where are the Soldadoittes

[Pablo]

Massive flop so far without a doubt, doesn't look suited to the league, or Spurs style of football at all. I can definitely see the Morientes comparison.

They massively overpaid for him too (although that was because Valencia knew they had the Bale money to spend), but still he's a much better player than he's showing for them this season!

I must be the only one who thinks he is decent!

Yeah he's not done well up to now, but his recent performances have been a lot better. He's not staying right up top and being isolated now that AVB has gone - he is now allowed to drop deep and have more influence on the general play, and I've always thought he was a decent footballer.

Too early to write him off, obviously. We've all seen how good he can be, and lets not forget its his first season - people were thinking Giroud wasn't much of a player a little over a year ago.

I like Soldado, always have, but like you lot I hope he flops just so Spurs are further in the ****

And they'll be pretty smarmy right about now.

You're right he is decent & was played completely wrong by AVB. He cannot hold the line up on his own. Pure goalscorer that hasn't been playing he natural game.

In saying that, i did think he would do a hell of a lot better than he has. They paid a hell of a lot of money for him and would want big money signings to hit the ground running.

Anyways, he is certainly a good player as he has proven over the years, whether or not he is suited to the premier league i'm not so sure & time will tell. I for one hope he continues to have a nightmare throughout the entire season & Spurs get relegated

[The Erectile Banana]

This summer I told anyone who'd listen that Soldado was twice the player Negredo was.

I was very wrong.

I was one of them!

[Buzzo]

He's awful. He's just not a footballer.

[Nicey]

Have that you ****ing dirty yard dog ****house!

the cunt

[chadrtc]

He was a shocking scumbag across the two games. I thoroughly enjoyed his dissapointment.

Tit.

[Roboklopp]

Scruffy ****house. His nose is a disgrace too.
