What do you think?

Ha, beat me to it, I was just about to post this.

He is a good striker in the Higuian mold, but not quite as good.

[KonohasOrangeFlash 2,607]

Yeh, he could be a good option, Depends on the Price though. Higuain is better Quality wise and younger too.

[Spike 12,049]

He has valuable experience with Mata, though.

[Melanicus 5,208]

He's great finisher, just what we need... I doubt we're really interested in him.

Probably not for now, cause he couldn't play European football anymore this season..

[Madmax 9,219]

Usual daily mirror crap without quotes and with conjecture.

[BlueLion. 21,491]

We don't need more strikers, unless we're going to play 4-4-2?

[CHOULO19 24,332]

I doubt we will sign a striker in Jan. Even if we do go for a striker, Soldado is not a logical signing because he is cup-tied for the CL.

[St Abramovich 175]

We could have Ronaldo(the Brazilian) and he still wouldn't do that great without the service.

Our strikers are getting nothing and so they drop deep and then when a proper cross is fired in there's nobody there, we need wingers and midfielders before we even consider a new striker.

You mean before he was fat, old and injury ridden?

[St Abramovich 175]

I mean in his prime.

[LDN Blue 7,903]

He's 26. He's hardly a squad player either.

[Liquidator 5,176]

This guy won't come cheap. We should have got him when he was at Getafe and we would have had a bargain. The Valencia President said they would not consider anything less than around £35m or something as well

If Torres doesn't hit top form in the next 6 months I would probably cut my losses and I think Soldado would be the perfect replacement, his technique, finishing, movement, speed and strength are top notch, he could and has linked up fantastically with Mata, hes great playing as a lone striker through the middle incase we do (hopefully) switch to a 4-2-3-1, hes consistent and as someone mentioned up top of the topic, in the same mold as Higuain who apparently AVB is quite sweet on.

Given the opportunity I'd snap him up personally, I know theres no big transfer story behind it, more of a hopeful one but I'd love to see him at Stamford Bridge.
