Okay, let's take off our Spurs tinted glasses and look it as a neutral.
If Liverpool had bought Soldado and he had performed how he has so far; would we claiming we'd 'dodged a bullet' or that they'd 'wasted their money'.
I'm a huge fan of him and wanted him this summer, couldn't believe we got him - I'm just starting to ever so slightly worried.
I personally believe he will come good but is there a case to be made that he wasn't the right purchase or he will be an expensive flop?
He shows some nice touches and is clearly a very intelligent forward - So what is the problem - Is there one?
In 6 games he hasn't scored from open play and you couldn't say aside from the Cardiff game that he's had a plethora of great chances.
This isn't so much stemming from any concerns I have but it's been bounded around by a lot of opposition fans and I've seen a fair number of Spurs fans starting to echo similar sentiments.
Is it a case of us integrating more creative players like Lamela to fully get the most out of Soldado?
Is it that he just doesn't fit out system?
Was he the correct signing?
Perhaps it's just a case of being unlucky and the once one goes in he'll get onto a streak. It must start to be playing on his mind - As it would with any great striker.
Just to reiterate I myself isn't worrying too much - I just want him to get off the mark in open play and we can see the Soldado of Valencia, those glorious first time volleys from balls over the top.
What do you guys think?
