Roberto Soldado

[klopfzeichen 78]

I was thinking about available strikers and this guy popped up in my head. A decent option if the Cavani transfer doesn't work out. What do you people think?

Negredo would be a better fit IMO but I wouldn't say no to Soldado. Valencia are in a position where they have to sell to.

[Leif 6,006]

I'd like this move particularly because Mata and Soldado already have great chemistry in a 4-2-3-1. They were lethal (more-so Soldado) together.

[StrategiC 73]

can't see him as an upgrade for neither Ba nor lukaku.

[Sheva. 5,373]

Fuck, i thought we were actually linked lol. I would be happy with him or Gomez atm.

[Leif 6,006]

I'm not sure if these are all his goals from this past season or just his best ones but his finishing is incredible. Better than most the strikers we get linked with. He's also a surprisingly hard worker for a player most would put in the 'poacher' category:

yes please. soldado is a class act.

[Jase 43,479]

He is good but not THAT good to be the No.1 striker for us. Lacks this thing in him that makes him a stand out striker among the many top quality strikers out there.

[Leif 6,006]

Mata - Soldado was more deadly than Silva - Villa and even Mata - Villa.

Obviously Mata was older while working with Soldado and thus more matured in terms of playing style but I think that says a lot. Put Soldado in Barcelona or Real Madrid (I genuinely think he is THE striker they need) and you have 'one of the best strikers in the world'.

Good player but I am not sure I would use the wording you did.

Good player but I am not sure I would use the wording you did.

scored 82 goals for valencia in 3 seasons. thats pretty good going

[Leif 6,006]

At Valencia Villa had Mata and Silva supplying him. Soldado has Feghouli and Guardado.

(League only): Villa averaged 0.65 goals per game. Soldado averages 0.60 goals per game.

What thing exactly? what matters the most is goals, and he gets plenty of them. It's ridiculous to say he can't be our no 1 striker, when apart from Cavani there's not many strikers available that are better than him.

[Bosnian Blue 2,471]

Nope, thanks

Yes. And that's called opportunity. Same with Mandzukic before he joined Bayern. I'd rather have this guy at half the cost than Cavani
