he would score 15 plus goals a year for most teams. with our posession stats, our lack of delivery into the box, and lack of penetration generally - he has an excellent retrurn. i would not be surprised if another team came in with a big offer for him -

10 goals is a great return from the Salomon as the previous post states having such low service and still getting that amount is fantastic.

Get him the right supply and he will score much more.

My boss is an Arsenal fan and STH and he was impressed with him at the Emirates.

Living in Leicester and surrounded by Leicester fans they were drooling over his performance against them at the King Power.

Nice one Salomon. Hope he gets 15+ for us next season and then a move to a cup winning team. He's a good lad.

Didnt look particular good last night in the Copa America against Jamaica.

Two moves of note though and both had in hand in chances created, one leading to the winning goal.

Expect more than two quality moves a game from him.

Rooting for him though in the cup and Gamboa.

Looked like he had less support from his teammates than he gets here the poor sod.

I'm hoping Tone will get him a supply chain for next season.
I'm hoping for great things from Salomon next season

Bigrob80 · « **Reply #1108 on:** June 08, 2016, 12:37:04 AM »

Agreed! He has had a fantastic first season in the premier considering the lack of supply, etc, etc.
He has put a shift in for us even when he had no delivery! I really hope we can get some better service/help for him next season so he can flourish into the goal scorer he has been before!!

B_H_Baggie · « **Reply #1109 on:** June 10, 2016, 06:34:00 AM »

He scored the only goal of the game against Uruguay in the Copa America last night, only a relatively simple tap in after an early outrageous shot from the right winger. Through to the Quarter Final with a game to spare but he did limp off injured in the second half so hopefully it isn't anything serious.

Good lad Rondon. Glad I didn't back Uruguay now.

Clip of the goal. Good instincts but what an effort from the other player.

Strikers goal...great instincts

Cant wait too se him in action next season think he will be a big player next season

t76 · « **Reply #1114 on:** June 10, 2016, 01:27:10 PM »

If only he had someone to feed him,he would double his goals.Hope his hamstring heals.

lewisant · « **Reply #1115 on:** June 10, 2016, 01:42:13 PM »

Hoping this good run of goals for country will see him come to pre-season full of confidence and raring to go. Like others say, we need creatives in the team and we need them early so we can hit the ground running before frustration sets in for him.

He's only ever going to score tap ins which makes it vital that we get some quality in around him as his all round game isn't great. We could do with another Odemwingie type player.

from some research he is Alejandro Guerra. 30 years old midfielder (cam but can play out wide) from Caracas (as is Rondon) he's still playing in Venezuela for Athletico Nacional, signing for them a year ago and has 50-odd national caps, scoring 6 goals.

Think you're being a bit harsh on him. He scored a great goal against Liverpool and has had a couple of decent headers. He has often shot from the edge of the box(hasn't scored mind!). Seems like the kind of player that likes the ball played in front of him to run onto or to his feet.

Agree about us needing another Odemwingie type though.

Liverpool and Leicester were excellent goals off the top of my head he's also very good in the air.

Standaman · « **Reply #1121 on:** June 10, 2016, 03:35:08 PM »

I would be quite happy with our main striker not scoring from outside the box all season if he was picking up 20 odd tap-ins. The goals that aren't tap ins make good highlights reels but any striker's goals are going to be predominantly close range and relatively straight forward.

Agree with this. We certainly don't utilise his strengths. He's already made comments about playing with his back to goal and most of his play being outside of the box. His first touch and control does need to improve for me though.

They were so I hope we can supply him more of the same through balls. I agree that his heading is decent in the box but from our usual long punts he rarely wins anything.

Rondon went past Huth as if he wasn't there

Hope we can keep hold of him - would be an ideal fit for Leicester in Europe next season

We'd be doing Rondon a massive disservice if Craig Gardner and McClean are the ones supplying him again next season. There were flashes last season where he was unplayable, fingers crossed he kicks on next season and we get some quality players around him and I can certainly see him getting close to 15 goals next season.
