Dave Posted May 23, 2018 Posted May 23, 2018 Well that's it. Football is fucked. Quote Atletico Madrid and Internazionale are interested in signing West Brom striker Salomon Rondon, Sky Sports News understands. West Ham are also keen on the Venezuelan striker, who played under new manager Manuel Pellegrini at Malaga. But the Hammers will face competition from abroad for a player who has a £16m release clause in his WBA contract following their relegation.
Administrator Stan Posted May 23, 2018 Administrator Posted May 23, 2018 Going from Griezmann to Rondon up top is like when Ashley Cole traded in Cheryl for whoever he cheated on her with.
Guest Posted May 23, 2018 Posted May 23, 2018 Salomon Rondon is a very good forward, he is a down step from Griezmann but he is still good enough for either side. He's done extraodinarly for Venezuela and needs to play in less primitive tactics than what he had at West Brom, as well as more quality around him.
Dr. Gonzo Posted May 23, 2018 Posted May 23, 2018 His record is pretty decent everywhere... except at West Brom where he looks comically terrible. Considering his form in Spain before, it's not the worst decision in the world for a Spanish club to be interested. It's a massive step down from Griezmann though. Especially if you want to consider recent form... because with recent form Rondon looks totally shite.
Dave Posted May 23, 2018 Author Posted May 23, 2018 Every West Brom fan I spoke to on the last game of the season thinks he's shite.
Administrator Stan Posted June 5, 2018 Administrator Posted June 5, 2018 Not quite Atletico and Inter, but could stay in England now? Chelsea, Spurs & West Ham linked... https://www.mirror.co.uk/sport/football/transfer-news/chelsea-tottenham-west-ham-battling-12651707 Quote West Brom boss Darren Moore is trying to keep his squad together to ensure they go straight back up to the Premier League. The Baggies are set to lose Salomon Rondon who has a £16m buy-out clause with West Ham, Chelsea and Tottenham all interested in the striker. Jonny Evans is also set to go as he has a £3m escape clause in his contract but his £85,000-a-week wages could be a stumbling block. There has also been strong Premier League interest in West Brom’s former Arsenal left back Kieran Gibbs and they may struggle to resist bids to keep him.
Bluebird Hewitt Posted June 5, 2018 Posted June 5, 2018 We've been outside linked with Rondon as well, but can't see it happening at all.
Cicero Posted June 5, 2018 Posted June 5, 2018 We already have the French Legend that is Giroud as our target man and plan B. No thanks and doubt its even true
Smiley Culture Posted June 5, 2018 Posted June 5, 2018 Was massively hit and miss when I saw him and West Brom v Brighton. One minute he'd take the ball on his chest and lay it off, the next a ball would hit him in the shin and veer off for a throw-in when he's trying to control a ball.
Dave Posted July 17, 2018 Author Posted July 17, 2018 Rondon linked with Newcastle now. He's exactly the type of limited Striker that @Harvsky and @Rafa Beneathus will take the piss out of on here but also have a real soft spot for.

According to the local press in West Brom we pissed the baggies off by making a loan bid for Rondon when he is in the last year of his contract. It's quite tiring how bad we are at making deals. Plea went to Gladbach after Nice told us to go fuck ourselves for dragging the whole thing out with low bids.

Newcastle had an offer for Targett rejected, so instead of going for another player or making a new bid they just turned the lights off, locked up the doors, and had all gone home just after lunch

I'm not asking for us to be like Harry Redknapp in the market, but we won't get away with financial conservatism forever. Knowing our luck Rafa will get nothing, walk away in the next 12 months and we will give Mick McCarthy £75m to spend.

I Imagine with the extra £22m from the Mitrovic deal you'll be able to put in a more reasonable offer now.

Rick Posted July 30, 2018 Posted July 30, 2018 Rondon, Muto & Joselu. Not exactly goals, goals, goals there.
Dr. Gonzo Posted July 30, 2018 Posted July 30, 2018 Rafa never really signed a prolific striker for us til Torres tbh. Even his Valencia had the goals spread out around lots of people than having John Carew light up the league with goals. *edit* I guess Mista was decent.
Honey Honey Posted July 30, 2018 Posted July 30, 2018 Sounds like Gayle going the other way. Not sure about this. In goals return it seems like for like. I guess we are just swapping around hoping someone lands well. The problem last season was that we lost 1-0 something like 14 times. A goal threat would be nice.

One of the SkySports journalists said Rafa won't be getting that money. We've made a £32m profit so far and are trying to loan Condom,.

Dave Posted August 1, 2018 Author Posted August 1, 2018 Apparently they're stalling over the price even though he's got a release clause.
Dave Posted August 4, 2018 Author Posted August 4, 2018 Sky sources understand a Dwight Gayle-Salomon Rondon swap deal is close to completion. Sky Sports News understands the clubs have verbally come to an agreement that will see Newcastle pay a £2m loan fee for the Venezuelan and Gayle moving to West Brom. The deal would be a straight loan swap for the season with both players returning to their parent clubs next summer.
Storts Posted August 4, 2018 Posted August 4, 2018 Another upgrade for Newcastle. Rondon is a good Premier League striker - Gayle has never really looked like he belonged at this level. Good deal all round
