KaKa Posted February 24, 2019 Share Posted February 24, 2019 Pretty much He's basically the same type of striker but within Ashley's age range and potential resale value stipulation. Be interesting to see if they are willing to perhaps pay around £25 - £30 million (Which is where I imagine it might end up) for him rather than the £16 million for Rondon.

Stifler Posted February 24, 2019 Share Posted February 24, 2019 I don’t see why we can’t get Rondon as well. I mean no doubt WBA will want Gayle, so you can assume £10m would be a fair price for him. Then if you are getting Rondon and this lad, you can easily tell Joselu to piss off and no doubt there will be some Turkish, UAE, or Chinese club stupid enough to pay £4m-£6m for him. So we could end up with Rondon replacing Joselu for nothing. Obviously it means you are unlikely to play them both at the same time but having Rondon will take a bit of pressure off the new guy and allow him some time to settle in and develop.

KaKa Posted February 24, 2019 Share Posted February 24, 2019 Ashley is obsessed with not paying a fee/giving up assets or wages for players older than 29 that's why. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Manxst Posted February 24, 2019 Share Posted February 24, 2019 The fact Rondon is going to be 30 at the start of the season will surely count against us signing him permanently, unless Rafa is given full control over the signings? Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Tsunami Posted February 24, 2019 Share Posted February 24, 2019 We wouldn’t pay £51M for any player, how the fuck we managed to spend £20M on Almiron is still a mystery. We’ll end up with another loan as our main striker next season and Joselu will still be on the bench. I’d imagine Rondon would want to stay but we’ll haggle our way out of it.
