ncfcstar 287 Posted January 29, 2021 I hope people don't expect too much too soon from Soto. He's been put on a pedestal a bit; looking forward to seeing how he progresses once he starts training at Colney. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
cambridgeshire canary 6,512 Posted January 29, 2021 Farke already hinting he's probbaly going to be loaned out again, still good news though Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Indy 3,232 Posted January 29, 2021 Good news, let’s be honest he’s a full international with an eye for goal, big fit lad at 20, didn’t cost much just fees to sign and wages, we really have nothing to lose so we’re all a little excited by the lad. No pressure on him, he’ll have time to prove himself. 1 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
AJ 1,218 Posted January 29, 2021 I think he's very firmly a third choice at the moment, well behind Pukki, Idah. But if he continues to impress then he might get some minutes, although I would imagine he's mainly here so they can watch him for the U23s and run the rule over him.

TheGunnShow 5,805 Posted January 29, 2021 Agree that they're going to run him next to the U23s. If he looks like he's slightly ahead of them but short of the first team, he'll probably get a loan. If he's dominating or looking really good in training, he might get the first team action. Hugill's only out for four weeks, so my suspicion is it's a straight fight between Soto and Idah and one of the two might get a loan deal. Soto's the likelier, but I wouldn't be averse to Idah getting a run of games on loan somewhere as seasoning. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
GenerationA47 737 Posted January 29, 2021 All that aside, is there any news in Soto’s work permit?? 1 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
birchfest 397 Posted January 29, 2021 I think the bigger picture is that he's got the permit and thats the end of it, the worry that we had signed him and he'd never get to actually come to Norwich is over. Now we can truly get him involved with the club set up, get him into English football and hopefully find that we have uncovered another gem. I don't think its likely he will be involved unless there is another injury to Pukki or Idah, but I hope he get some time in the first team training sessions so the coaches can see where he is at and how long it could be before he makes the step up.

Surfer 1,547 Posted January 29, 2021 I think the answer is no, he can't. If so, and he's back here it's U23 / First Team squad. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

I think its that he can't play a first-team game for more than 2 teams. Not sure exactly on the details but Carlton Morris for example has been on ours, Barnsleys and MK Dons this year and has played for the Tykes already; if he had notched a cup appearance for us it would be a different story. Now that all 3 first team strikers are on the grass again I'd think he'll sneak a loan move in there. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
