Tie him down to a longer deal as eventually some bids will come in and we want to make sure he can't run his contract down
O Albion we love you

I genuinely think we may struggle to hold onto him in January after that performance.

This bloke has to be one of the most underrated in the entire league. A superb target man, not sure there's many better at winning the ball with his chest and looking after it than him.

Deserved his goal. And as usual, played a big part in a couple of goals today.

Was heavily involved in both goals against Leicester also. Does a lot of good work which goes unnoticed.

Typical Albion fans, someone is rubbish he gets pulled apart by them week after week, someone is playing well and it's we won't be able to hold on to him.
Get a grip you load of pessimistic miseries. :P

Add quality around him that's what we need to do.

We should be looking to offer this boy a new contract asap.

His work rate every game is outstanding, really does put a shift in.

The one last night were he cleared the corner, then within seconds he is chasing his own flick on and winning a free kick in Burnleys half.

Easily one of our best players, looking even more effective now he has players around him who can pick a pass.

Second game running now he's absolutely bullied the two central defenders. He may not be a high scorer because of how we ask him to play but he's a top quality player when in form.

He doesn't need to be a high scorer to be a top quality centre forward though.

By giving centre backs such a torrid time, he opens up spaces and opportunities for midfielders to get in on the goals. The reason why this didn't happen last season was because they were often 40 yards behind him.

He's not better now than he has always been for us during the last 15 months. The difference is he's currently getting much needed support in and around him.

Love this bloke. Great performance last night, chased, put pressure on, assisted, scored.

He opens up a lot for us with his work rate

He reminds me a lot of Shane Long.

A little slower admittedly, but better at holding the ball up, finishing and all round decision making

If the last few performances aren't proof that this guy is superb when he has support around him, I don't know what is. Saido was too lazy and selfish to be an effective partner for him, and having 3 behind him rather than a flat defensive 5 is paying off.

His two goals against West Ham and last night show he's great on the turn too. Keep it up Sal!

Much better last night probably his best performance for us. Exactly what I'd expect to see from a target man. Let's hope he keeps it up.

Majority of the teams in the league would be happy to have him in their squad, would all just depend on who would be willing to spend the money we would want for him.

It would be in our best interests to get him tied down to another deal.

Seem to remember Liverpool were rumoured to be interested in him when we was at Zenit.

They signed some chappy who was never going to fit into their style of play instead.

His name was Benteke.

Unlucky Brendan  8) .

Liverpool are attempting a title tilt without a recognised centre forward... Rondon could easily be their Diego Costa and a great foil for Coutinho Firmino Mane and Lallana.

I get the distinct impression that Salomon is quite happy where he is at present. He was awesome last night, a fact recognised by the Burnley fans on their site. If we are going to move forward and progress, we should not be thinking about who may want to buy him who are a) in the PL, and b) below us.......
MAGA!

Have always seen glimpses of what he showed last night. I agree that I don't think he has improved much, it's just that now he has support.

Unless his control and touch improve dramatically then I don't think he'll be going anywhere soon especially to some of the clubs mentioned here. He was very good last night but against possibly the worst defensive performance I've seen for years at this level. Against better sides he rarely looks a goal threat despite the shift he puts in. He now needs to prove his worth on a regular basis and we need to sign another striker to support him.

He doesn't look a goal threat as until the last 2 games we as a team have never looked a goal threat!!
