Think it's a matter of where/when as opposed to if. Just seems like no one really thinks he will be around.

Sucks because I think we will have a hard time selling both Ade and Soldado so I can see a situation where we are stuck with Ade.

I'm not sure he meant specifically just generally it's regarded that he will be off somewhere this summer.

Isn't it a bit strange that there's no Roberto transfer talk at all?

ONE MORE YEAR! ONE MORE YEAR! ONE MORE YEAR!

I wouldn't mind keeping him as backup tbh. As long as we bring in a RWF who is flexible enough to cover as CF as well. I think Soldado seems like a good personality to have in the squad. He also might actually score a few goals.

He strikes me as the perfect 3rd striker - will work hard, won't gripe about playing time, and will be ready when called upon.

Absolute horseshit

A perfect third striker still needs to score goals mate

I agree he has a good attitude and doesn't moan

But he's mentally weak and he has nothing to offer us. He doesn't even work that hard to be honest, I just think people like to make excuses and look for positives from him because he's a likable kinda guy

In reality I never see him busting a gut to make things happen and turn things around, he hides

I'd say he could play a role in the Europa and afford Kane some rest time because even he will score a few goals at that level - but to be honest so could a youth striker and I'd sooner give one of them a chance then someone who's had many chances and proven themselves completely incapable at the level we need him

We really need to sell the lad and the lad really needs a move for his own career. Let it go, he's far from the perfect third striker or the perfect impact sub because he fails to score goals and can't make an impact

Although surely the perfect striker...scores goals?

I really like Soldado and am gutted it hasn't worked out for him here, but i'd much prefer he leave, and get a suitable move so he can get his career back on track rather than have it peeter it out on our bench.

You spelt it wrong

 

[LexingtonSpurs]

Absolute horseshit

Meh - a third striker, in a 1-striker system, is hard to come by. Even harder in this case since we would have to sell Soldado first.

Who are you going to get, for a cheap fee, and on low wages, who is going to play behind two other strikers - in a 1-striker system? Because we are not selling Soldaldo at a loss, and then paying someone else big wages to never play....

 

[scat1620]

Will be gutted if he's still a Tottenham player in September. As soon as he comes on the pitch you know that you've only got 9 out of 11 players who might get a goal rather than 10 out of 11.

Adebayor has seriously lost his mojo as well, but if we end up not being able to shift both of them this summer then I'd much prefer to keep the one who is a has-been in a Spurs shirt rather than a never-has-been-and-never-will-be.

Hmm yeah, slow as fuck, so weak he gets thrown around like a kitten by moderate centre backs, can't head the ball, can't kick with his left foot, misses sitter after sitter with his good foot - and all for only £80K a week. Fucking ideal.

If we can't shift Ade, he is more likely to get the Benny treatment imo

Why not keep Adebayor instead? Everyone always goes on about his wages but it's not like Soldado plays for free for us either; and while he might not earn quite as much as Adebayor he's going to be up there at the higher end of our wage structure too.

Screw the attitude stuff, I'd sooner keep the one who has proved he can score goals for us (albeit not for a while now) rather than the one who's consistently proved that he can't score goals for us.

I don't think you can screw the attitude stuff.

How often did we play a third striker after January?

This is not a critical position. If we can shift Soldado, fine, but whoever we bring in as the third option is not likely to be better than Soldado.

We need a 2nd striker - someone who would play if Kane is hurt, and who will play in Europa/Cup games.
