why would he step down?
Is there some missed joke? Otherwise how are Everton a step up from us?

The last thing we need is a big man up front. We're doing enough hoofing from the back as it is. We need a passing midfield who can dictate play from the centre of the pitch.
I must've missed the route one balls to Soldado. When have we been doing this?
Who said they were?
You said it would be a step down, so as he plays for Everton, the post suggests that he would be stepping down from Everton.
Not sure you can bring Man U in to the discussion. As they're an alternative to us, so it's neither a step up nor down.
Usually not to Soldado.But we play the most long balls per game in the league.
And when we're pinned back in our own half constantly (like we have in our last 2 league games), a big man upfront will be be the obvious outball to a team outnumbered in midfield.
Where did you get that stat?
Its from Opta.
Here it is on http://www.whoscored.com/Regions/25...amStatistics/England-Premier-League-2013-2014
Go down to 'Pass types' and sort by long balls per game
In fairness that stat is skewed as we play more long balls per game than some other teams just because we have more possession.
A better stat is what percentage of your passes are long balls. Even then we're poor: Our long ball percentage is 13% and going through teams one by one Arsenal, Chelsea, Everton, Liverpool, Man United, Emirates Marketing Project, Saudi Sportswashing Machine, Stoke (!!!) and Swansea's long ball percentages are less than 13%.
Rossi is 8 in 8 this season for viola, probably out of our range but he looked very good yesterday, certainly wouldn't say no.
