Soriano would be a decent signing, decent, not spectacular and certainly will not solve all our problems. The guy can play, which is a step toward the right direction for us as a team, since we are so used to seeing guys who doesn't even know how to kick a soccer ball any more sign with us in Jan (Essien, Muntari, anyone?). I suppose since Berlu is tightening up the purse string again, Soriano is probably the best we will be able to do in this mercato. i mean, since I was expecting Veloso, Soriano is a huge upgrade to what my expectation is, lol.
In all honesty, I just don't think it is realistic for us to solve our problems via new signings this Jan. We don't have the resources to sign a game changer; Galliani doesn't really deal with agents he is not friends with (say goodbye to anyone represented by Jorge Mendes); and we don't have the time to get the new signings acclimated into the team since our Jan is so brutal and yet critical to our end of season goal. To me, our best hope is to find second tier players, like Soriano, who fits the style of the team and knows the system who can come in and contribute right away.
