Everyone was crap up until the end of that season.

Funny how times change though - we were touted as having form that "would have won the league" for the period Redknapp took over until the end of the season, yet this season we have already won more points than Redknapp did (49 points from 30 games - we had 53 from 30 games before Sunday).

For the first time in months he looked genuinely happy being in a Spurs shirt. All he needed was for Townsend to stroke up his inner thigh. He will score a few before the season is out, Townsend just needs to keep working his magic
Ha i saw that too, brilliant.
They will both be sold to Valencia this summer and live and long happy life together

I think we're going to have a hard time shifting Soldado to anyone, giving he's currently form plus his age. Either way, DL can wave bye-bye (to most of?) to that 26m (or whatever).

Is he still under warranty?

Either way, he's definitely broken...

Soldado is a fantastic striker. It's the players behind him that were supposed to be supplying him that was the problem.

Get ready for the abuse from the usual bunch for saying that. lol.

To be fair, he seems to be much better from balls that are played behind the defence - through balls if you like. We never seemed to play in that way under AVB or Poch, so it's hard to see how we ever expect a striker to do that well.

Kane has to drop back for his chances, pick up the ball and then move forwards with it, or head it, which just isn't the kind of player Soldado would be.

I think he'd tear if up at a more attacking side like Palace, Hull, Stoke - probably even City or Liverpool.

It's the same problem United have had with Falcao - the style just doesn't suit the player

Haha I know, but to be honest, I honestly don't care. Very few posters on this fora know their stuff. It's usually just agenda driven bulls**t served up on here and as much as RAWK is ridiculed on the site, this is none too different at all.

In general, most Tottenham fans are shit nowadays. :D

Honestly I would be cool with Robby staying, just get a speedy striker and have a solid striking corps in my opinion. Who knows bobby might work back into form with Europa next season and we could be set. How great would it be if soldado just started doing the business? Because if that happens, you know the rest of the team will be ballin as well...

Maybe he can make a good Europa league and domestic cup early round striker next season to give Kane some rest time

he could have a million years to adapt and he will never make it as a decent EPL striker - I can easily see us struggling to off load him in the summer, I just can't see anyone paying what we'd want for him

Maybe a loan deal - he's gonna go the way of Bentley
