Spurs have reportedly signed Soldado ... But who is he ?
According to reports Baldini has agreed a deal for Roberto Soldado this afternoon however nothing is official of yet. This is arguably our second choice striker behind Christian Benteke who signed a new four year deal with Aston Villa. So who is Roberto Soldado?
He joined Real Madrid when he was just 15 and played in the B team. While playing for the B team he was seen as a future star, scoring 64 goals in 120 appearances. He was given his first call up to the 1st team in 2005 where he was wasted and given just 16 appearances in 3 years. In 2008 Soldado transfered to Getafe for €4 million and there he scored 29 goals in 60 appearances.However his time at Getafe was short lived and just 2 years later in 2010 he moved to Valencia for €10 million. He has proved himself a clinical striker at Valencia scoring 59 goals in 101 appearances which is well over a goal every other game. Not only having a great club career he has also had a great International career. He has played for Spain at every level scoring 32 goals in 52 appearances which once again is more than a goal every other game.
In my opinion Soldado would be a great signing for Spurs. The stats speak for themselves showing that he is an incredibly clinical finisher who is guaranteed to score goals and in my opinion would be a better signing than Christian Benteke. There is however one problem with him and that is his age. He is 28 and has probably finished his peak but that doesn't mean he cannot still score with Zola being a perfect example of an old aged striker who could still score in the Premier League. Hopefully this deal is wrapped up soon.

Spurs look very close to signing Roberto Soldado
Baldini travelled to Valencia this afternoon to discuss a possible move for Soldado and he has proven that he doesn't waste any time getting anything done.
It is believed that we have agreed personal terms with Soldado of £3.5 million a season meanwhile a deal is close. Valencia are apparently asking for €30 million however Spurs have offered €26 million plus €4 million add ons. The Valencia board are expected to accept this deal and hopefully the transfer will be completed by tommorow. In my opinion the sooner Soldado is a yido the better.
What will our new signings do for the club ?
Yesterday Spurs announced their second signing of the summer, Nacer Chadli. I was thinking "well why is AVB bringing in a midfielder and a winger even though we desperately need a striker ?" Then I realised why he has and this is what the two will do for us.
Paulinho is a great midfielder who can push forward and score many goals however as long as scoring goals he also provides something else. Last year Dembele was forced to restrict himself from going forward due to him not having anyone behind him to cover however with Paulinho it gives Dembele more freedom to attack and vice versa which means that Spurs will have more attacking options therefore more goals will be scored.
Chadli on the other hand is a completely different player to Paulinho but in effect will have the same sort of job next year. With AVB preferring Bale through the middle we had no one out wide on the left. With Sigurdsson or Dempsey there was no real pace and therefore all of Tottenham's play last year was down the left or through the middle. But with Chadli it gives another option. His pace will mean that defenders will find it harder to stick three players on Bale but also it gives Spurs another attacking option and balances the pace through the pitch. Not only does the signing of Chadli mean that Bale will score more it also means that we have another goalscorer. Chadli is able to create plenty of goals but also able to score them with last year him scoring 27 goals all competitions.
These signings do not mean we don't need a striker which is why Franco Baldini is in Valencia now to have talks over the possible signing of Roberto Soldado. Hopefully we can wrap up the signing of him quick and then for sure we will be able to score tons of goals without having to rely solely on Gareth Bale.

Spurs All-Time XI - Strikers - Ft. Youtube Clips
Jimmy Greaves
Between 1961 and 1970, he scored 266 goals in 380 games for Spurs. There has been many great strikers for Spurs and Jimmy Greaves is one of the lazier of these players but he was the best goalscorer at Spurs and that was all he ever done ! Danny Blanchflower ( captain at the time ) said players used to say to him "all Greaves does is score" and Blanchflower would reply with "is that not the point of a striker".Watch this clip of Greaves to see all his best goals...

Teddy Sherringham
Teddy Sherringham is a legend to Spurs, Man United and England ! He was a world class striker and the main reason I have put Sherringham ahead of the other legendary strikers is for his terrific 38 goal season !http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=wQR2-XWW2AI
We have signed Nacer Chadli !
Tottenham have agreed a deal with FC Twente to sign Nacer Chadli.
It had been reported for a number of days now that the two clubs had been in talks over a fee for the Belgium international.
They have now reached an agreement and the 23-year-old will officially become a Spurs player once he has passed a series of medical examinations and settled on personal terms.
Once those details have been finalised, Chadli will link up with his new Tottenham teammates in Hong Kong.
Spurs have paid around 7 million euros to sign him and looking at him on youtube he looks like a great player; Last season he was injury prone but a great player with power and vision!
You must watch this clip!!
