Happinesstan Posted July 16, 2018 Share Posted July 16, 2018 The only reasonable explanation I can find, is the love that I found for loan deals is so that we are not desperate to sell players before our deadline day. We can be patient and get the money we want, and then secure permanent signings later. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Could be but for the last ten years under this clown we've done nothing with any type of plan, we simply don't want to spend money. It's cheap a deal as possible, loan, free or low price transfers that'll keep us up for the cheapest outlay. Pathetic really. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest ElCid Posted July 16, 2018 Share Posted July 16, 2018 Fuck me no wonder this club is just total shit desperate for a proven goalscorer and come up with the possibility of a player for a relegated team who is anything but and at the same time pretty shit. Roll on start of next season with the thought of Rondon, Gayle and the magic of Joselu- goals sure to flow with those three Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Mike Posted July 16, 2018 Share Posted July 16, 2018 Tbf I wouldnt mind if we became a set penis side ala England this coming season. Scare the living daylights out of teams giving away a free kick within 30 yards from goal. We don't get FK's, though. At least iirc. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
toontownman Posted July 16, 2018 Share Posted July 16, 2018 They will come out with some bollocks about being a season behind in premiership tv money and having to play catch up. Then someone will mention Brighton, huddersfield and Fulham and they will change the subject. All the loans are really so we can bid 30m for loftus-cheek. That will be 1m under their asking price and he will go to palace who pay it. We will get Alan Judge. On loan. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Hhtoon Posted July 17, 2018 Share Posted July 17, 2018 Why do I read this thread when I first wake up ? Totally spoils my morning. I find the 2 posts for rumours and subsequent 3 pages of bitching strangely therepeutic. I like just reading the posts and trying to guess the author from their angst.

STM Posted July 17, 2018 Share Posted July 17, 2018 Under 20m is nowt for a striker these days. Rafa would improve Rondon by 10%, who would in turn improve an already functioning Rafa side. By the way, I think Rafa has made it clear he wants two forwards. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
mrmojorisin75 Posted July 17, 2018 Share Posted July 17, 2018 for some reason i associated rondon with being a cripple but he's played basically every game in 3 years, i'd feel better about getting an average striker if he's gonna actually play Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
TRon Posted July 17, 2018 Share Posted July 17, 2018 Wonder if Fulham have been less than forthcoming for Mitro? They don't seem desperate to get the deal done like. Seem to be linked with one or two other big money moves which does make me wonder whether they are having second thoughts on Mitro's effectiveness in the Premier.

KaKa Posted July 17, 2018 Share Posted July 17, 2018 Rondon will be great and you'll all love him. People whined, cried and soaked the bed when we brought in Kenedy. Yet this summer they whined, cried and soaked the bed because we wouldn't pay £30 million for him. Aren't you guys tired of this? Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
mrmojorisin75 Posted July 17, 2018 Share Posted July 17, 2018 i'd have no problem with rondon & gayle being our strikers if we add further kenedy level upgrades behind them basically...we saw last season rafa's system doesn't rely on a +15 goal striker but for us to not struggle we'll need to add more goals from behind them that said it's unlikely he'll miss as many as gayle did either surely? could see him being 10-15 myself Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

ads Posted July 17, 2018 Share Posted July 17, 2018 If Rafa prefers Rondon over Mitrovic then I'm happy with that. Same. It would be underwhelming if he's our main striker going into the season, but I think he'd fit into Rafa's system very well. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Optimistic Nut Posted July 17, 2018 Share Posted July 17, 2018 I think he’d get 10-12 goals for us, but also make us a better team. I think if Slimani had worked out we’d have went back for him but Rondon’s a similar profile. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest ElCid Posted July 17, 2018 Share Posted July 17, 2018 If we sell all our strikers and rondon was backup to our main striker yet to come in I could live with it. Thing is what are the odds that being the case very slim I would say. Again as with Joselu it will be Rafas 5th or 6th choice target we will be going for. The blokes goal rate is below average at best. This club will never progress with this type of standard of player. It’s the reason Rafa will not be at the club this time next year as there is no attempt or willingness to get in his top targets. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Optimistic Nut Posted July 17, 2018 Share Posted July 17, 2018 I know 24 goals in 3 seasons isn’t great but given that he’s played under Pulis & Pardew for the majority of that time, I’d be interested to see what he’s like under a top manager.
