Spain striker Roberto Soldado has confirmed Tottenham have had a bid rejected for him by Valencia.

He told reporters: "I knew their interest on me; my representatives told me they made an offer to the club, but despite the economic situation, they didn't want to sell me".

"I signed until 2017 I'm ready to complete my contract; that's my dream and I hope it comes true. I want to play here, in my land's team".

Yeah, Valencia don't really need to sell their stars anymore. Pity, 'cause he would have been a great signing.

Seems like the perfect striker for AVB's tactics. Smart runs, good finisher, nice 1-2 passing. At least good to know we are going after these guys and are ready to shell out some serious cash for the right players.

Well said THOWIG, I was about to point out that absolutely no ITKs have mentioned Soldado. Though I do suspect that at least one will come out now and say that one of the "you will be very excited, world class" type comments that were being made had meant Soldado all along.

Top, top player!! Would love it, I mean LOVE it if we signed him, but we won't, he's Spanish though and through.

Hopefully its just a smokescreen. not worth the money we bid, or rumoured to have bid. Sure he is an upgrade on defoe, but rather we get in someone like ade, llorente or damiao.

€30m is £23m (?), in today's market he's worth that.

Adebayor and Llorente are different and he's definitely better than Damiao.

Even if we did compare to last seasons forwards, he's better than both in the key area's.

Looks like this was the deal JJ talked about, when he was mentioning that we can get world-class excited and then it fell through.
