Roberto Soldado

There is a reason we can splash out and that is because Bale is our insurance policy. Lets be honest he will leave at some time in the future if not next season then could be the season after - unless we win titles and get in CL regularly and even win the damn thing.

So whilst 25m on a player with not much of a resale value in future, is a great deal - is it really? when youre making around a 60-70m profit on one player in future?
 
just as i was saying................:(

Napoli are said to be looking at adding to their Spanish contingent by signing Roberto Soldado.

Napoli really have been getting right in everyone’s face this summer in the transfer market. Usually a team that plucks talent from other teams in Italy such as in the case of Edinson Cavani, Marek Hamsik and Gokhan Inler this summer Rafa Benitez has cast his net far and wide.

And he has also been keeping things close to home with a real Spanish feel to the Partenopei these days

With Pepe Reina’s loan move from Liverpool imminent; and the club snapping up Jose Callejon and Raul Albiol from Real Madrid it is now being reported another Real Madrid man could be on the brink of a move to the club.

Gonzalo Higuain looked set to join Arsenal earlier in the month after confirming he wanted a new challenge and a change of scenery for next season.

But Arsenal’s interest has dried up and over the weekend it was suggested in Italy that Higuain was now on the verge of a move to Napoli.

However many doubt that the Argentine is as close to a move to Campania as La Corriere dello Sport seem to believe; and suggest that a major target as an alternative to Arsenal’s transfer objective is in fact a player heavily linked with their North London rivals.

Reports in Italy suggest that Rafa Benitez could look to add to his Spanish contingent by bringing in talented Valencia striker Roberto Soldado as a replacement for Edinson Cavani this summer.

The rumours are that personal terms with Higuain are going to be difficult to finalise with the player not sold on playing for Napoli; and that Soldado may prove to be a cheaper and more likely alternative.

The 28-year-old Spanish international has a release clause in the region of €30 million; but with Valencia’s financial problems intensified by their failure to qualify for the Champions League on the final day of the La Liga season they are expected to consider bids considerably below that valuation.

Valencia have now set a deadline of August 3rd for any bids to be submitted for the player and Napoli are widely considered to be one of the teams making an enquiry for the star.

Liverpool have also recently been linked with the coveted front-man; who scored 30 goals in 46 appearances last season. But with a massive transfer kitty behind them Napoli will feel confident of winning the battle for his signature.

Overall the impression is that Napoli have given up on Leandro Damiao, himself a target for Tottenham, and decided instead to make Higuain and Soldado the number one targets for the club this summer.

Meaning one way or another; Napoli are going to leave a North London side disappointed.
 
Tottenham are close to completing a club-record £18million transfer for Valencia striker Roberto Soldado.

Manager Andre Villas-Boas views the clinical Spain international as the candidate to end his long-term search for a truly quality goalscorer and recently-appointed technical director Franco Baldini has flown to Spain in an attempt to finalise the move.

Since Villas-Boas' appointment he has been forced to rely on the mercurial talents of Emmanuel Adebayor and Jermain Defoe but the arrival of Soldado would allow him to commit to his favoured 4-3-3 system

18m sounds more like it.
 
So Soldado is ahead of Torres and Villa for Spain? Cool.

Lets do it, a striker in his prime, maybe 4 seasons out of him, top money, strong returns, not about potential now, we need the finished article - there's enough youth throughout the side so lets get a proper, experienced, senior pro who can do the job.

the money we have saved by being reasonably frugal over the past few seasons could potentially allow us a one off big spend on a player in his prime like this i guess
