Soldado - 26 Million pound dud??

Soldado - I'm not impressed with our ''star'' striker and think he is starting to look like a dud.

What are your thoughts???

My thought is that Soldado is not getting the service he needs and that's why he doesn't score enough. I also think pointing fingers after a bad result doesn't help anyone nor solves any of our problems.

I've been saying this for ages. Nobody is supplying him or even Defoe. And before anybody says anything; where Defoe has been scoring is in easy cup matches. League matches he is worse than Soldado.

Regrets, I’ve had a few;
But then again, too few to mention.
I did what I had to do
And saw it through without exemption.

AVB is the dud buying a striker who likes to play in a two and then plays him as a lone striker, real tactical awareness by AVB !!!!

Even if he had two up front; that isn't the problem. The problem is not serving who is ever up front. Don't forget he has had two up front.

Ade hold up play would have helped Soldado on Sunday but AVB took him off!

THFC "COYS" and that is all I have to say about that!

Let us see what happens in the next two matches.

The lack of service to Soldado or Defoe has been plainly and painfully obvious from day 1. The sooner it gets sorted, the better.

     Quite simply the answer is too start Ade up front with Soldado, at least give them the opportunity, lets see if it works!!!

An even bigger worry is Erik Lamela if you ask me

In what way? Not settling in yet?

Soldado IMO is not a dud, if he was getting service and blowing chance after chance then yes you could put that case forward, but he is getting nothing!

Is confidence must be right down the s**tter and he like a few others are possibly regretting their decision.

Yes, exactly. Both our record signings are finding it near on impossible to fit into the system AVB is intent on playing, which for me is a very worrying factor.
It would have been like when Billy Nick paid a then UK record fee for Jimmy Greaves (5'8") him saying on his first start " go on son, you're on your own up front, just make the most of it" Its bloody laughable really.

If you ask me, the only one not regretting his decision is Bale.

I haven't seen the team sheet for the Tromso game this evening, but I would like to see Soldado with another striker up front leading a side that AVB could field on our next League match instead of the second side he has put on so far in the euro games. :up:
