NWC 239 Posted May 14, 2020 I think I read he is also being scouted by Spurs after he and his brother had trials there, so this is a big coup - well done to all!! Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Michael Bates 9 Posted May 14, 2020 Always sceptical basing an opinion on YouTube reels but the one thing it does show is that his link up play looks very good indeed and his first touch looks strong. More of a no.10 than a no.9 It looks. Him an Idah for the future hopefully 🙂 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

You're getting mixed up with different American talent in the German leagues- Norwich City are keeping tabs on Bayern Munich’s Taylor Booth and his younger brother Zach Booth. 1 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
A Load of Squit 5,161 Posted May 14, 2020 There had to be a Bundesliga connection. 🙂 The 19-year-old American is currently on contract with Hannover. His deal with the Bundesliga 2 side expire next month. Soto will be loaned out by City next season, as the US Under-23 striker won’t initially qualify for a work permit in England, says the report, in Bild.

Rich T The Biscuit 562 Posted May 14, 2020 Looks like is comfortable on either feet, has a nice touch and vision. Could be another find so guess time will tell. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Nuff Said 5,131 Posted May 14, 2020 (edited) The piece I read (can't remember where) made him sound like a potential second Pukki. Not strong or particularly quick, but all about intelligence and being in the right place at the right time. Fingers crossed.

king canary 7,605 Posted May 14, 2020 Sounds like we wont see him next season due to work permit issues though. Clearly a long term investment. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Wacky Waving Inflatable Arm Flailing Tube Man 3,820 Posted May 14, 2020 Will we ever see him? He'll need to get regular games with the US national team before he gets a work permit, unless we can find him an EU passport somewhere- and even that may change after Brexit. Maybe Stuart Webber can hang around on this forum overnight until those spammers come advertising their wares. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Our current negotiations with the US are being done by City supporter Liz Truss, she'll make a work permit for Soto a red line in the Trade Agreement. 🙂 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

There are worse Tories it could have been - Rees-Mogg, Priti Patel, Steve Baker, BoJo, Raab, Gove, Mark Francois, Ian Duncan Smith, Chris Grayling, Andrea Leadsom...

That's a list actually I can't add to but I'm wondering right now in what order I might list them (I can just about stomach Shapps, Jenrick, Alok Sharma, Williamson....had to show first of these lot round my workplace once and chair a meeting with him. He was okay). If you're on Twitter you might enjoy the parody account for Mark Francois. You'll end up quite changing your opinion of the real man weirdly (at least feeling a hint of empathy)...he is listed as "Mark ne Francois pas" which is what the sonyc household call the real MF. His posts are sometimes very funny. Edited May 14, 2020 by sonyc 1 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
