Minhosa Posted August 8, 2019 Share Posted August 8, 2019 Pathetic transfer if I’m being totally honest. Given he’ll probably not be available for long periods of time, he’s essentially unemployed, prepared to take minimum (football) wage and we had zero competition for him should be massive red flags. He’s been singed for for the positive PR rather than his footballing contribution in my opinion. A cheap, tacky, obvious signing because i5 was easy to do. No thought, effort or imagination has gone into this, it just suited all parties. Doesn’t matter what’s happened to the squad, who’s left, who’s signed, how much has been spent, how much we’ve got back, it’s all moot. Because we’ve replaced Rafa Benitez with Steve fucking Bruce. That one replacement has just knocked 25 points from our total because this thick cunt is a million miles behind Rafa. His lack of ability renders every player transfer null and void, none of them matter. The most important individual at any club is the manager and we’ve gone from fillet steak to roadkill squirrel. We’ll go down and we’ll deserve to. Bang. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Tiresias Posted August 8, 2019 Share Posted August 8, 2019 So much Midds post. Just signed for the publicity, no other club willing for a while because he is famously unprofessional, injured constantly and mediocre at best. Once in a while does something special but so what.

Gallowgate End Posted August 8, 2019 Share Posted August 8, 2019 The 30 year old Rondon vs 30 year Carroll deal is not apples to apples. There was still a transfer fee, agents fees, PL levies and all the other bull s*** that Charnley and MA complain about versus free transfer, no agent fee and l, minimal additional fees. Rondon wanted a normal wage and a few year contract and Carroll is on a low basic wage that is based on appearances and goals on 1 year contract. They aren't comparable. The first deal (Rondon) makes way too much sense in the footballing world and the second deal (AC) makes perfect sense in the MA tick-tack cheap as f*** world. Sad reality under our s*** owner. Rondon wanted ‘a normal wage’? There’s a reason he’s in China and not at Wolves, West Ham or Everton etc now. Yeah, that reason is Rafa. Now fuck off you WUM.

Kanj Posted August 8, 2019 Share Posted August 8, 2019 He wanted a normal *footballers* wage and if he wants 100k plus then he's entitled to ask for it - players for the top 6 get hefty wages and Rondon IMO is of that quality. Rafa's point was that you should be paying the going rate in terms of fees and wages for the right players. So yes, I'm sticking to my post. He wanted a normal football wage, whatever that may be.

I get that, but when they sign someone after getting rid of one of the worlds top managers because they won’t sign a 39 year old and that’s their policy, is a slap in the face when 6 weeks later they sign someone who is the same age. The policy NUFC has was no one aged 30, not we can do it if it’s cheap. Tbf, they don't mind signing 30 yr olds if it there is no fee involved. The main reason they wouldn't sign Rondon is because the price was £16m and there would be no resale value. That's not going to be an issue with Carroll.

Mr Logic Posted August 8, 2019 Share Posted August 8, 2019 Just seen this, what a pile of wank. Sweepstakes on how many minutes he'll manage all season. I go for 104 and I fear I'm aiming high there. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Kanj Posted August 8, 2019 Share Posted August 8, 2019 If Rondon was cheap fee or free they'd have attempted to sign him, 100%. Like Tron says, the set mid teens price was not something they wanted to do and then on top of that the wages that would have been above the structure they have in place.

If a local lad can add a few high points to what is likely to be a largely horrific season, then it’s done the job. Don’t have a huge amount of shame in saying it’s the only signing this summer to have raised a smile for me. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

KaKa Posted August 9, 2019 Share Posted August 9, 2019 Andy Carroll was not signed as an alternative to Rondon so not sure why they're being held up against each other. Joelinton was deemed a younger version of Rondon and was therefore signed to replace him. Carroll is a freebie cheap option that wanted to come back home for low wages, and was deemed as worth bringing in, to ease Joelinton's transition to a new league, should he need some help.
