An obligation or an option? (I don't understand why it would be an obligation, why not just buy the player outright then?)See it somewhere the other day, iirc the loan had an obligation to buy anyway

Very different things especially as Negredo wasn't scoring a ton for Valencia.

Not necessarily wanting him to stay but acknowledging that he will be hard to move on, and if he isn't he could still do a job as third choice striker. He seems to be popular among the players, a good influence in the dressing room and we don't exactly have any youth prospects that could step up to be third choice behind Kane and a new signing.Some of you have lost the plot wanting Soldado to stay. To do what exactly?

Haha of course, but there's a big difference between doing a job as the first choice number 9 and doing a job as the 3rd in line. I just think it would be difficult to bring in two strikers to replace both him and Ade with one of them knowing they're behind both Kane and the other new signing. We also don't have a youth player that can fill this role either. Perhaps Chadli at a pinch, but unlike some I'm not convinced he would make an effective striker. Soldado's already contracted and as I've said would understand his role and is a good influence amongst the players.Have you seen him play?
Clearly he's not going to be the 20-30 goal a striker we wished he could be. But as 3rd choice if we are not able to sell him he is OK.It's admirable I guess, but there are a number of fans who are eternally optimistic, unwavering in their support, but easily pleased and can never accept that the club may have made a bit of a fuck-up.
We see this all the time. Paulinho will play one good pass and all of a sudden you see 'I think he's got a future with us', Lennon scores a goal out on loan and its 'why the fuck did we get rid of him!?'... These fans are still convinced that Poor Bobby will come good, especially with his loveable little face and his pro-Spurs messages on social media.

He has a far better attitude than the likes of Adebayor, and does get involved in build up play. He is skilful and intelligent and doesn't have many poor games. He can certainly put a few shifts in for us next season.
Admittedly he is poor at finishing chances, but I don't see what else he is that bad at.That's a scandalous statement

Exactly, sell him if we can, but the likes of Adebayor, Kaboul, Capoue, etc. are the types we must get off this team under any circumstances.He seems a really good pro and to get on really well with the squad. An expensive bench warmer, yes, but there's worse people to have around the training ground.
Didn't Soldado have a pretty bad falling out with Valencia when he left? Especially in regards to his agent.If Valencia really enquire, I think this will be his most likely destination. Levy, get this sorted.
