Roberto Soldado

Latest Spurs videos from Sky Sports

Not wanting to blame an individual but what the heck. He gave away that stupid free kick at the Lane and then missed that sitter last night. All will be forgiven though if he scores the winner against the Chavs Sunday. What chance of that? I sense a one way ticket back to Spain to end his pain and ours.

Soldado isn't a shit footballer, he's a quality footballer playing shit.

Is Torres shit? No of course not, he was quality at Liverpool but lost all confidence at Chelsea. Doesn't mean he's suddenly a shit footballer, just out of form.

Is Suarez shit? 4 in 15 suggests so, but this time last year he was considered top 4 in the world. Is he now a shit footballer?

Fucking ridiculous argument. Soldado is class, but he's not doing it for Spurs and never will. We need to sell him, but that doesn't make him shit.

I would disagree with that. Some players just lose their edge or ability when they hit a certain point for whatever reason. How long can we keep saying this is just a bad patch of form going on 2 seasons now? He has played under 3 different managers and countless formations and teammates HE is the common denominator.

Same with Torres he hasn't been good in going on 5 years now is it still just a dip in form? Players careers fizzle out all the time it happens. I would be absolutely shocked if wherever Soldado goes after us he starts playing well and scoring again.
 
I still just can't believe how someone who scored so frequently, and some amazing volleys, now can't hit a barn door. Must have been the cramped legroom on that Ryanair flight Levy put him on.
 
Well the bad/good news is after yesterday's debacle and Sunday cup final we are done with all other competitions. So there is no need to rest Kane, which begs the question why did we yesterday? I digress

It's strange that he's still ahead of Ade in the pecking order, Pochettino must think Ade is even worse than Bobby....

It could just as well be his attitude, remember all the rumours about Ade and Kaboul getting on Poch's bad side. He may view Bobby as at least showing positive commitment and play him because of that. Regardless we look toothless with either of them up top.

In a few weeks time as the amount of games calms down I do wonder how much it will impact our form, hopefully we will see a fresh first 11 Spurs each game.

Yeah I don't know how he has gotten this label as such a great bloke. He very well might be but he is terrible at his job.

Our supporters can be strange take Pavlychenko for instance he got so much stick from day 1 and his strike rate for us was about a goal every two matches (including some absolute vital ones) yet people could not wait to see the back of him.

If he´s shit for us, he´s shit.

If Messi joined Spurs, and played like Rasiak, I would say he´s fucking shit.

I dont care what any player does, at any other club. Soldado, the Tottenham player, is fucking shit.

Agree not bothered what he did in Spain he's older in a new league, new country, onviously different fram of mind and he's complete and utter shit. He is completely shot as I mentioned earlier I don't think a change of scenery will do him any good either whatever ability he had before is gone. A good amount of playing any sport is mental and he is done, cooked, roasted hopefully though we can find some sucker to give us at least a fourth of what we paid. I can't see anyone paying us anything over like 6m considering his age
