Twitter's blowing up that we're about to sign Soldado.

[Woland]

And people are saying he's good and shit.

20m quid or something.

 

[juniormember]

Him and the left back for 26m.

 

[Fabio]

He is

If we paid 10m I'd be happy

*Awaits everyone ever to moan about this signing*

 

[SummerOnions]

Meh, he's not very sexy. If Cameron's blocking my porn and I can't whack one out over who scores for us, I won't even be able to open my magazines anymore

 

[Rosco]

Suarez plus Soldado would be nice

 

[Mystic]

He's an out and out striker right? As is Suarez, as is Sturridge, seems a bit stocked their if you ask me?

 

[King Binny]

Fee wise, Negredo apparently cost £16.4million plus add-ons of up to £4.2million. Soldado's release clause is around £25million.

Negredo has 102 league goals in 209 appearances. Soldado has 101 in 207. Difference though is in Europe where Negredo only featured 9 times in CL, scoring a goal whereas Soldado has 16 in 25. With 10 in 19 Copa del Rey appearances, he maintains the average of a goal every other appearance in each of the mentioned competitions.

Twitter is also blowing up that Spurs are about to sign him too..

 

[Woland]

Ooooh.... and if it wasn't for those pesky yids we'd have gotten away with it.

 

[mark1975]

This would be ace. Can't see us getting him ahead of that other team who uses our scouts.

Last season's shot conversion rate:

Last October:
13 - Roberto Soldado became the 13th player to score multiple hat-tricks in the Champions League.
Roberto Soldado is now VCF's all time top scorer in the Champions League with 14 goals. He overtook Juan Sánchez (11).
2 – Roberto Soldado is the Spanish player with the most hat tricks scored in Champions League history.

This Mar:
Roberto Soldado has scored 14 goals in his last 14 Champions League starts.

 

[Markeh]

Cissokho loan for some depth and competition sounds alright. Is he any good these days though?

 

[Jerry Laser]

Soldado is class.....I'd take him in a heartbeat.

 

[Modo]

28 year old for £20 million fuck no.

 

[Fabio]

28 year old for £20 million fuck no.

i'd agree with that

 

[gene hughes]

So if any of this is true, it sounds like we're fucking Lyon over. We're signing Soldado and Cisshoko for a wodge, pretending most of it is for Soldado, but actually it's about 50/50, all so that Valencia don't have to pay a sell-on fee to Lyon.

 

[Mors]

28 year old for £20 million fuck no.

How much did utd pay for rvp?

 

[the_khl]

The last time I watched Cissokho play he made Djimi Traore look a world beater. Ever so clumsy and error-prone.

 

[Modo]

How much did utd pay for rvp?

Is Soldado as good as RVP?

Case closed.

 

[hmmmmm1]

Fsg bulked at Dempsey cus of his age, would they allow this transfer and fee which is 3/4 times Dempsey..

 

[gene hughes]

Maybe they baulked at Dempsey because someone told them he's a big horse's arse.

 

[Mors]

Is Soldado as good as RVP?

Case closed.

No idea, you tell me.

 

[gene hughes]

Didn't you hear him Mors, the case is closed.

 

[Whirly]

Soldado also isn't made of Fine China....

 

[Rafiagra]

There's reports Baldini is in Spain to sign him for Spurs.

What's the betting we miss out again?

 

[gene hughes]

That's a very strange but accurate observation.

 

[Modo]

Soldado also isn't made of Fine China....

Isn't fine China more expensive

 

[Hansern]

Doesnt makes sense that we're after him, unless Suarez is leaving imho.

 

[Whirly]

Is it just me, or were there a surprising amount of volleys in there?

Also, his goal tally looks a tad inflated from taking penalties

 

[Oncy]

Soldado is/was brilliant.
I havnt seen him in the past 12 months at all but hes a great goalscorer.
Too old though right....28....
too old.
