I don't get the Soldado thing. As far as I'm concerned he's 3rd choice at the moment. He doesn't offer any pace or holdup play. Even against Limassol, we looked a worse team with him up there. At least Wellbeck would give us the option of someone pushing centrehalves back with his pace and runs; giving Lamela and Eriksen more space to operate in.I just can't get excited about this, a decent player but I don't really see him as a big step up from what we already have. I would also hate to see Soldado get pushed further down the pecking order. As a LWF he is okay, fast but doesn't fit into the three rotating number 10's that Chadli was talking about a week or so back and I really like that concept. I can't imagine Welbeck will come to us and be happy starting on the bench or being a rotation option, he will want a starting spot. Really not fussed at all about this one if I'm honest.
