    Roberto Soldado

    Re: Official - Soldado I suppose that's the crux of the issue. I don't, and I'm guessing some others, see him as anything other than a goalscorer. My argument is others have put him on a pedal stool and glamorize every little thing he does. There are some decent touches, and those two crosses...

    Roberto Soldado

    Re: Official - Soldado It's a difficult one, as I view him as a pure goalscorer, whereas you see more to his game, so my threshold's going to be higher. So for me, as a pure goalscorer, he has to score a minimum of 20 league goals in a season - perhaps 15 or 16 excluding penalties...

    Roberto Soldado

    Re: Official - Soldado Certainly no winding-up. I've posted long enough on this board for people to know that. There's a precedent for this with Alan Hutton. I remember getting lambasted here for saying I thought he was useless, when everyone was saying he's an all action, brilliant...

    Roberto Soldado

    Re: Official - Soldado What is it you're seeing? He looks atrocious to me. Ignoring the goal drought, I don't see what he offers that any other Premier League striker wouldn't offer. The two crosses for Adebayor were excellent, but I think he's so bad, he's reached a point where even the...

    Roberto Soldado

    Re: Official - Soldado How can anyone dispute any of those? He is slow; he is weak; he is one footed and he can't generate any power in his shots. I thought even those who rate him would admit that? He's a poacher, right? It's his movement and finishing which make him a good poacher...

    AVB Postmortem poll: what occurance was the beginining of the end?

    Buying Soldado - without a shadow of a doubt. In a 4-2-3-1, the striker is the most important player on the pitch. Soldado is the antithesis of what you want in a striker in that system - weak, slow, lazy, poor touch - and perhaps any system. He's truly terrible. Not only did he have a waste...

    Tim Sherwood…gone \o/

    Re: Tim Sherwood - Head Coach It doesn't fill you with confidence, does it? What was the last book you read? I don't read books. I read the Daily Express and The Star. Not the Guardian? Too much writing in it. http://www.theguardian.com/sport/2008/sep/26/1

    Ratings vs Southampton

    Why, what has Soldado done to be described as anything bar abysmal? The hallmarks of his Spurs career so far are: - Terrible finishing - absolute myth that he's not had adequate service; - Terrible touch - the amount of times you just see the ball bounce off him is scary; - Lack of...

    Ratings vs Southampton

    Glorious cross from Soldado, but he remains abysmal. That bit of quality is an anomaly, not a 'sign of his quality' or anything like that. The very fact such basic, basic things are applauded, like controlling the ball, briefly holding off one player or making a simple link-up, says it all. He...

    Andre Villas-Boas - Head Coach

    Re: AVB Sacked page 224 Sure, but so many of them have shown so little when played, it's almost irrelevant. No one should shed a tear that Holtby, Sigurdsson, Paulinho and Chadli, for example, aren't playing. Plus, you don't need two attacking full backs and two out and out wingers in a...

    OMT - 22.12.13 - 13:30 -Tottenham VS Southampton @ St, Mary's

    It's a really tricky one with Lennon. He's such a talented footballer, and does add great balance, but he does sort of fall into the trap, like so many of our other players, of looking dangerous, but not actually being dangerous - him, Rose, Walker, Defoe. Maybe it's an English thing.... Thing...

    Andre Villas-Boas - Head Coach

    Re: AVB Sacked page 224 Even if it is true, it has clearly been over simplified. There would have been arduous negotiations throughout the proposed transfer - right up to this so-called acceptable figure of £26M. The final figure Spurs bid might have been £500k short of £26M, but...

    Are we over rating our players

    Anyone who thinks Soldado is a footballer is overrating him.

    January transfer window wishlist

    Chadli of course needs time, and he'd be competing with Young for the left wing spot. Sigurdsson, whilst a good player, isn't a left sided player - no chance. He doesn't have the mobility or pace to come in from the wing and link up. There's probably a reason why Lamela, Townsend and Eriksen...

    January transfer window wishlist

    As opposed to Chadli and Sigurdsson, who can be relied on to put in consistent performances over a year? How about Lennon on the left, which has rarely worked? Maybe Lamela, Towsnend and Eriksen, who don't play there? Young's fast, got a good shot and can cross. He's hugely predictable, sure...

    January transfer window wishlist

    Now, you will all laugh, but two players who might just be realistic and would go straight into the first-team: 1. Ashley Young - with Januzaj, Nani, Valencia and Wellbeck (and even Kagawa and Rooney) covering the wide positions, we might be able to push for a loan here. He's going to be...

    January transfer window wishlist

    I'd rather Carroll at £35M than Soldado at £26M. At least when he's not playing well he works hard and has a presence. When he's injured, he tends to have a similar impact to Soldado.
