He shares Falcao's love of finishing moves with one touch, slamming the ball home before the defence have managed to position themselves. He's also a natural at sprinting in behind opposition defences for weighted through-balls, possessing an immediate burst of pace, rather than searing outright speed. Maybe the two qualities originate from the same root causes -- a great sense of anticipation, and an ability to time runs perfectly.

:woot:

After reading that I just thought, Holtby should get more than 10 assists this season

He certainly has the same winning personality and is full of passion for the game. He is much, much more agressive, he will get yellow cards and you will be screaming at the tele for him to shut up and stop mouthing off but I still love him. We as fans will lover him, opposition fans will HATE him :). I hope he gets soem game time on Sataurday.

Precisley what I mean't, obviously not the same type of player, but will have that same personality that we'll all fall in love with.

He may well need a few games or maybe even longer to find his feet in the EPL, maybe... can we all agree to give him that time please?! Am so excited about Soldado playing, but that can easily turn into frustration amongst some people if that doesn't turn into instant success.
