I think everyone wanted Bobby to come good this season as the whole team was all over the place last season. We lost our metronome Luka and our talisman Bale. It was unlikely that anyone was going to come in and fill the gap. In terms of goals if you want to compare Soldado to another striker just look at the buys of Michu 2M, Welbeck 16M, even Van Persie 24M. Soldado is not cutting it at all in this league. He does not justify the fee we paid for him. I can understand him taking a season to settle and I don't think he's a bad player or a bad guy in terms of effort but what we got for the money wasn't worth it. Other teams can spend big and have flops but we'd been aching for that top class striker for too long and when it came it is very disappointing that we paid 24M? for a squad player who looks more likely to hit the crowd than the goal. I never saw him play in Spain and I here he was a top scorer there but WTF is he trying to do here? I guess the environment is different but surely the football pitch is the same? I don't really understand it. Or were their wingers amazing and put passes on a platter for him?
Kane looks a lot better and he's a youth player who I wrote off the other season for spitting on himself. Soldado looks done. It's not the first time. Forlan who I love seeing in a Uruguay shirt failed at United. Maybe we just need to wrap this one up and look to the youth team. They've really stuck with Kane. It's wicked to see these young players coming good. Mason changed the game against Forest. He won it and was great against the Arse. I'd rather have Defoe than Soldado tbh. He wasn't the most unselfish footballer in the world but the little man took his chances and boy was he Spur!. Through and through. You cannot justify playing Soldado as a striker when he's scored so few goals. Defoe would have murdered his goals to games ratio. We need to loan him back to a Spanish team and get someone in who can fucking bang them in!
