Optimistic Nut Posted July 14, 2017 Share Posted July 14, 2017 I like Rondon, think he'd be very good for us. His scoring record isn't great mind. Is that just down to Pulisball? Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
GeordieDazzler Posted July 14, 2017 Share Posted July 14, 2017 I assume they'd want a decent wedge for him? Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
STM Posted July 14, 2017 Share Posted July 14, 2017 They will want more than what we offer that's for sure. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
TRon Posted July 14, 2017 Share Posted July 14, 2017 I assume they'd want a decent wedge for him? It's all relative. He's not that good so how much is decent wedge in today's market? Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Disco Posted July 14, 2017 Share Posted July 14, 2017 Would definitely take. Be a massive improvement on Mitro/Murphy for the target role. Not slow either albeit not quick. We need a Venezuelan to help complete our South American tick box list too. WBA turned down a Chinese bid for him in Jan like and he'll likely have plenty of suitors.

Parsley Posted July 14, 2017 Share Posted July 14, 2017 That Birmingham Mail article notes that WBA turned down £32m from a Chinese club in January. Probably rules him out Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

thenige Posted July 14, 2017 Share Posted July 14, 2017 Rondon is a bit of a funny one. Rarely looks like he can be arsed when I've seen him play, but then if you're a striker for WBA you can probably understand why. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Mole_Toonfan Posted July 14, 2017 Share Posted July 14, 2017 Rondon is a bit of a funny one. Rarely looks like he can be arsed when I've seen him play, but then if you're a striker for WBA you can probably understand why. I liked him a lot in Spain, i think he'll be good once he gets away from Pulis. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Guest firetotheworks Posted July 14, 2017 Share Posted July 14, 2017 I still find it hard to believe that anyone could be so incompetent as to tell twice European player of the year Kevin Keegan that Modric 'isn't good enough', fuck up signing Schweinsteiger after selling Milner, and then signing Xisco and Nacho.

Optimistic Nut Posted July 14, 2017 Share Posted July 14, 2017 Could Gayle have the game to play a more withdrawn role? Not a pure number 10 but still deeper playing behind Rondon. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Mole_Toonfan Posted July 14, 2017 Share Posted July 14, 2017 No, besides Rafa isn't doing that anyway so it's moot point. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Super Duper Branko Strupar Posted July 14, 2017 Share Posted July 14, 2017 I've been wanting Rondon for a while but my interest cooled with his early performances at West Brom. Started to come more in to his ownlast year, hard to judge what he'dll be like for us after watching him try in such an abortion of a side for 2 years. He made some good progress last year though which is promising. £32m is ridic, mind. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Stottie Posted July 14, 2017 Share Posted July 14, 2017 Haven't they missed the boat with the big bids from China with that new tax being introduced? Rondon may still go for more than we're prepared to pay, but it won't be that China price. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
ponsaelius Posted July 14, 2017 Share Posted July 14, 2017 I'd be a bit disappointed with Rondon, tbh. He's pretty limited. I want somebody with pace. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
