Tottenham Hotspur Links: Roberto Soldado Is Still a Spurs Fan

The latest Tottenham Hotspur morning news is here.

A couple of things will be changed with these Tottenham Hotspur Links. First, there won’t be a morning, afternoon and evening edition. The hope was that it would be good to get everyone up to date at different parts of the day. Well that’s changing now, it’ll strictly be a morning edition. If, for whatever reason, this article can’t make it out in time because of time constraints, then it’ll resurface in the afternoon or evening instead. Secondly, the dates will be gone. You could tell what day it was even without the dates on the title, but now it’ll be hard to differentiate between one morning edition to another without the dates included. Here’s the news.

    Despite having a rough two-year stretch as a member of Tottenham Hotspur, the 30-year-old Spanish striker is not only just a Spurs supporter, but Tottenham is his English club. Spurs are the only team he has ever played for in English football and will most likely be the only one. For that reason alone, Roberto Soldado was a great Tottenham player — in the sense of giving his all even if it didn’t work out.

    • Tottenham sent scouts to a R.S.C. Anderlecht game

      During yesterday’s R.S.C. Anderlecht and Royal Mouscron-Péruwelz game, Tottenham sent scouts to watch according to Belgian daily Standaard (which wasn’t linked in the article). Spurs’ scouts were watching Anderlecht’s 22-year-old winger, Andy Najar, who — back in 2011 — was on trial with Tottenham. At the time, Spurs weren’t convinced of the then 18-year-old so they didn’t sign Najar but that could change soon if he impresses Mauricio Pochettino ahead of the January transfer window.

      • Toby Alderweireld previews Spurs vs Villa

        This news is a day old, but because it’s a preview article, it’s fine for tonight’s game against Aston Villa. Toby Alderweireld’s message was clear and straight to the point.

        “Villa will win one day, so we have to be 100 percent. No one will underestimate Villa. Maybe they will have a new manager and they need to change things in the Premier League. It will be difficult but we’re confident in our ability and our quality to win that game. And at home, we want to get the three points in every game we play.”

        These words can be said about every team in the league, but it’s more prevalent for Aston Villa because they’re at the bottom of the league table. Record and form tend to correlate with how good and bad teams are doing, during the season. But Aston Villa has the making of a trap-game. Spurs will have to be focused.
