SkySports reporting a cut in odds of Soldado joining Villareal. While we all agree that that he's undoubtedly a good player it clearly hasn't worked out. With that said I cant help feeling sorry for him. I think many of us expected so much more esp given the way we have traditionally played. The "new" trend of playing with inverted wingers (In our case Lamela & Chadli ALWAYS cutting inside) it clearly didn't play to his strengths. I cant help wondering what he would have been like playing in that side from a few years back with Lennon & bale (pace to burn, hugging the touchlines, swinging in crosses) & Modders pulling the strings.... They managed to make Crouchie look decent for a few years !!!.... Cant help feeling we didn't help ourselves with a player who clearly had talent & unlike so many of the diva's/money-grabbers in today's game... (Ade, ADM & Sterling etc) always acted with class & professionalism...... anyway, good luck Roberto !!!!!
BTW.... msg to Darth Levy.... enough of the brinkmanship & games !!!!, bravo for selling the Deadwood (Vlad etc) but can we please buy someone to help/supply Harry.,..... The clock is ticking... COYS

I remember when he arrived, we played our last preseason game at the Lane (cant remember who the oppo was) and he was superb. Led the line superbly and some of his touches and flicks were sublime.
I was genuinely excited and thought he would be a legend for us.
He is still a top player but it just hasnt worked out for him in England.
Ive heard he is a real character around the place and the other players love him.
If he does go he is one player i hope will succeed somewhere else.

It was a shame, appeared to be a decent man, I hope he finds his mojo back in Spain.

Torres? He was fantastic.
Like most of us I'm disappointed it never worked out. I would like us to keep him and just replace Adebayor but sadly he hasn't scored enough goals for us to look past the £10m+ we could recoup and spend on a new striker.

He is a good player with a footballing brain and an eye for a pass, but unfortunately Poch`s system does not suit him.
It has just never really happened for him at Spurs, he will score goals again if he goes back to Spain no doubt.
