off to the new town near Edinburgh. Their next 2 games are Rangers and Hibs. Hopefully he gets some games as that is what he is needing the most.

Much as I hope he comes good get the feeling Hugill got more chance of being recalled to us and scoring a hatrick against Man City than Soto getting any real long game time with us, which is honestly a shame

[AJ 1,232]

He scored 1 and assisted 1 in a splattering of 8 largely cameo appearances so hopefully this new move will give him a platform to prove himself. No point him being here, he'll be behind Pukki, Sargent and Idah

[Mr Angry 1,571]

I guess that means the end of Porto’s option to buy at the end of the loan? That will please everyone who thought it was ridiculous to sell him off so cheaply without playing him in a competitive match.

On a personal level, yes, good luck to him. 

But the club decided that we didn't want him when we loaned him to Porto in the first place, they had a 1 million euro buy option.

Does seem good money for essentially a player who will be 22 in the summer and hardly has any competitive games under his belt. Still a slim chance of place for him here I reckon, but like you've got me thinking he's marked to be moved on. Sold this close season or goes on a free the next.

Soto vs Bushiri then! Might be worth a watch

[kirku 1,339]

I miss the days when people were advocating for him to start over Pukki

[Newtopia 519]

He had rich period of goal scoring at Telstar, has anyone seen him play, is he a talented boy who is too impatient, or did he just have a lucky run?

If you have to watch Scottish maybe, but then take in the 200 crowd games instead with some lower league teams.

That was in the second tier of Dutch football.

Really have to question the standard of that league when a 33 year old Van Wolfswinkel has 9 goals in 19 season in the top tier this season.

[Mr Apples 1,335]

Be good to see how he does. Livi are pretty uncompromising in approach (also, check out the manager's back story for an interesting read).

That sucks. Unless you subscribe to the clubs streams best you can is watch the highlights show Sportscene on BBC Scotland. They do a live game every Friday evening, but it's Scottish Championship games so not good for Norwich players, best you get is Dorrans and Lafferty currently playing in that league.

Ah ok, I’ll just follow it on Twitter. Hopefully Soto gets international clearance in time

Wasn't that the same division Todd played in?

It was yeah, but then Jamie Vardy played in the Conference, so when you say a league is poor it doesn't mean there aren't some rough diamonds.

Has that tool been sent back from Cyprus already? 

Jumping from club to club for the signing on fee to cover his gambling losses no doubt.

Makes you wonder what happened for us to decide he wasnt for us. We seemed to work quite hard to get a work permit for him

Livi are my Scottish team.  I hope this helps kick start his career, but not convinced Livi matches his skill set. 🤷‍♂️

I might be a stereotypical statement but isn't all of Scottish football uncompromising? 

Credit to him for trying to kickstart his career in Britain there.

Very interesting indeed. Not your normal route into football management.

Think after him scoring a goal for the USA we thought maybe we had someone who we could potentially sell for a million or so, I don't believe for one second the likes of Farke or Webber thought he was good enough for out first team. Just saw it as a chance to make a bit of cash on a youngster. The same with the likes of Famewo, Sinani, Bushiri etc.
