Soldado Told To Buckle Up Or

What does $48m buy you these days? Not a lot, if you’re Tottenham Hotspur. Just eight goals in fact — with just one from open play. That’s what Spurs got with Roberto Soldado.
And interim White Hart Lane boss Tim Sherwood has told the Spaniard it’s time to deliver.
Sherwood reportedly sat down with Soldado ahead of Spurs’ Europa League second-leg clash with FC Dnipro and told him this is his chance.
“Robbie knows his time’s come,” Sherwood said.
“We know he’s a top player or he would not be at the club. Now’s the time for one to ricochet in off his backside and he’ll be off on a run like Adebayor has since I came in. It would be handy to have the two of them scoring.
“It is a barren spell for a striker. Luis Suarez is going through one at the moment and no-one is pointing any fingers as Liverpool are winning.”
Hmm, that might also be because the Uruguayan is also now topping the assists column. Not scoring is one thing; not providing anything in attack is something else.
