Cedric Soares: Back It Up

[Makingtrax]

very good business

What £8m for an ageing back up on a 4 year contract. You're having a laugh? Lichsteiner on loan was a better deal, he was rubbish and we got shot.

£8m for a starlet on a 4 year contract as an understudy for Bellerin with an eye on taking over in a couple of years is much better business. But it wouldn't have helped Raul's mate on his retirement fund.

 

[Taneruit]

Am I the only one freaked out that Cedric and Mari have the same birthday?

 

[Gegen Pressing]

Arteta the Wizard will make him drink the magic potion and he will perform.
same with Mari.

 

[DasBootist]

Cult hero potential imo

 

[TakeChillPill]

Football Corruption signing at it's finest, 4 year contract is insane, not like we're signing a 29 year old Cafu.

All about squad cost mate.

I really don't get at all the hate for this guy, a little shaky defensively but he is basically exactly what Ornstein described in explaining why Arteta wanted him for The Athletic, composure on the ball, experience and maturity in the dressing room.

After Ceballos came on he was our most creative player and most unlikely to lock the defence. For a back-up RB I don't see what people are expecting...

 

[Mitch]

It's was so weird tonight seeing us have a RB with positional awareness and able to make a cross.

 

[boonthegoon]

really good crosses

nothing much otherwise

 

[DanDare]

Came in expecting a Mitch post, was not disappointed.

 

[Pyres7]

I said he was average before but I've changed my mind. Looks below average to me.

 

[Balboa]

The lad's been injured and barely played. This might as well have been a preseason game for him.

 

[Maybe]

The worst part about Soares is that we will have to watch Bellerin as our first choice for another year.
2 good crosses but everything else was League 1 standard.

 

[Yousif Arsenal]

Still don't understand this transfer i mean he not that terrible but was not needed specially now AMN is staying.

 

[krengon]

Just have to hope we don't have to rely on him for a long spell.

 

[Mrs Bergkamp]

Worked hard and composed enough when he could venture forward but we got him two years too late and I don't want him playing too often

 

[junglist57]

so many wasted long balls from him tonight. a complete lack of vision, just hoofing it up the pitch. our worst player today by far.

 

[Red London]

I dont pay too much attention to games like this but he didn't look that bad.

 

[TakeChillPill]

He'll be loaned back to Southampton next season

 

[dka1]

Didn't look that bad to me.

Still a waste of money though, don't get it twisted lol.
