If they are going to be in the mix then so are we. Man U are doing well whilst not convincing, Liverpool are only ahead on GD and Everton are behind us. We need to improve but we havent done badly enough to not have a chance of getting top 4....

1. Yes, he started alongside Ade numerous times under Sherwood. Most recently under Poch he started away to Hull and then at home to Everton the following Sunday.
2. Post AVB he's scored three goals, the first one was at home to Stoke from the spot, he started the following game away to Utd. The next two goals he was dropped the next game, coincidentally both games were away to Chelsea.

On question 2 its pretty irrelevant as he scores once every few months lol As Raziel said Poch really has no choice but to play him or Ade until we get in a new striker so we are basically hoping against hope one of them starts firing (I am not optimistic)

after his goal against everton which was well taken and not a tap in, I was willing to think that was what he needed to regain his confidence, he's missed some good chances again since, he probably won't start against swansea as he played in turkey, he has to go, if we don't sell him, we won't get anything at the next xfer window

Its unfortunate as he seems like a decent bloke, but to me Soldado will never work here at Spurs. It's a mixture of system, confidence, bad luck and mis-management. We should really be looking to cut our losses and move on, he'll most likely go on to be a relative success again if he goes back to Spain.

Does Soldado have a brother? to be honest I am confused now.
There's the flaw in your premise.

Now I know that once you nail your flag to the mast you will defend (or denigrate) a player irrespective of what he does on the pitch and, I am probably wasting my time in asking... but can you - most kindly - tell us what the f*** did Soldado contribute today? Absolutely nothing! Was it a surprise the team solidified when he was hauled off and Kane moved into the CF position? We had been effectively playing with 10 men for 60 minutes
Scott Parker (remember him, your favourite player?) contributed a hundred times more to the team than Soldado has done, with his supposedly greater skill ...
I was as keen as anyone for him to succeed but he is a dud, mate. Our Fernando Torres. No amount of wishing him to turn the corner, or attempting to justify the unjustifiable simply to defend your position, will change that.

I think you have to judge player based on the job they are meant to be doing.
I have no doubt we bought Soldado to score goals. I expect had we known he wasn't going to score any and we would have to justify his inclusion on his link up play we would have bought another striker -or someone who is known for their link up play.
After all, if it was a goalkeeper can you imagine people saying don't worry about all the goals the goalkeeper is letting in, his distribution is exceptional. No. He'd get to sit on the bench for several seasons while we tried to offload him --oh hold on....

I've changed my mind on a number of players.
Dembele, Adebaygluefactory, Benny to name three recent ones.
Don't know, I haven't seen the match yet. I was merely making the point that if you selectively find one bit of the game that a particular player is currently struggling with and use that and only that to judge them then you'll come to the conclusion you already decided you wanted to come to.
What I do know is that our attacking play looks much better with him on the pitch than with any alternative or with Kane on his own.
Of course it's not a surprise that we look more solid when we replace a forward with a midfielder or defender (which was it?). That's the whole reason for doing that!
:ross:
I'd forgotten you were the little Shetland pony's mum. If giving our defence danger passes is your thing then I suppose he contributed plenty.
He may be a dud, he may be the greatest striker we've ever had. Until we've given him a settled run and until we stop measuring him on whatever fits the pass/fail we've already chosen it's a little premature making silly claims.
On balance, I don't think he will make it with us but to proclaim that he certainly won't at this stage would make me a fool at best.
