Very clever movement and timing with his runs.
Great anticipation to loose balls and rebounds in the box
Solid pace. Not exceptional, but is quite quick over the first ten yards.
Predatory finishing with either foot
Not dominant in the air, but is a fine header of the ball if presented with one
Better link up play than JD
Very consistent

He's really very good. I've wanted him for ages. He's got excellent movement, he's a great finisher, and can hold the ball up. Someone else on here summed him up nicely as an energetic Berbatov. He'd be perfect in the centre of a front three.
He's not a battering ram like Benteke, but he's got more guile and finesse which will help bring others into play. Put it this way, I would have Keegan loved it if we'd managed to get David Villa, but if I was picking between these two and used my head instead of my heart, Soldado would be the smart choice.
Thanks.
He sounds in the Falcao/Villa mold, would you say he was similar to Hernandez at United?

We will agree to disagree then LOL
Shat: past participle, past tense of shit (Verb)
Verb
vulgar. Expel feces from the body.
vulgar. Soil one's clothes as a result of expelling feces accidentally.
I'm not being pedantic I just liked the definition

It's probably one of the negotiation points.
"Roberto - I don't know if you've seen, but you've hit 100 pages on SC"
"Ah why didn't you say?!" *signs contract*
I'm trying not to get excited about all this but it's failing - I feel like transfer deadline day when we got Van der Vaart at the moment.

Alternatively it's a good name for a shit hat, as in "hey gooner...that's a nice shat you've got on".

I would most definitely label him as a slightly lower level Falcao. Falcao is just bloody brilliant in all aspects of being a striker, and can contribute to overall play outside the box to an acceptable, if not amazing, level. Soldado is basically the same type of guy. Fowler is a good comparison as well by Ryan. Hernandez pretty similar as well of course although a wee bit more of a one dimensional poacher

Funny how we went from Villa, to Benteke to Soldado. In my mind, from the worst of the three to the best. Go figure?
Cheers gents, these comparisons are certainly getting my hopes up about the possibility of signing him.
Strangely enough it's been Chadli that has got me the most excited - exactly my type of player, fast, direct, powerful and don't have to worry about him being knocked off the ball every 3 seconds - ahem Lennon.
The possibility of Bale, Soldado and Chadli terrifying defences next year, rather than just worrying about a Bale scud missile will be refreshing.
