In his one game for us at number 9, Bryan Robson scored 3.
Rondon will never be a striker as long as he has a hole in his backside.
Doubt he would be any different in the championship.

I agree, if anyone came in with a plus Â£10 million offer I'd snap their hands off.

I'm not sure about this view that he'll rip up the championship. The goals are the same size as in the prem.

At that price he will flyout the club " cheap as chips"

kamara scored for fun in the championship and was garbage at premier league level.

Pointless line of thought. Because Rondon won't ever play a Championship match for us or anyone else.

Will leave at the end of the season for anything upto Â£35 million (Slimani fee).

You'd be surprised at what people will pay. He won't go for less than we paid for him.

Correct. Premier experience ups the price considerably.

We will get a good fee for him, the prem is full of expensive players who arenâ€™t actually very good.... what worries me is whoâ€™s going to scout the replacements, spend wisely and rebuild and it could be a blessing going down, sell our flops and replace with more dross and we will do a Sunderland.

smosher34 · « **Reply #3138 on:** March 23, 2018, 10:58:06 PM »

Hope we do get good money for him just cant see it . But will money be spent on new players or towards money we lost from going down 😧

HampshireBaggie · « **Reply #3139 on:** March 24, 2018, 01:40:09 AM »

Rondon will go for Â£20-Â£25m. Remember these are PL clubs with PL money and Rondon has a good rep with regards to his work rate and target man ability.

We have scored just 24 goals in 31 games, the worst record in the league. Rondon has scored just 5 goals. We're getting relegated as a result of not scoring enough (anyone remember the last time we scored twice in the league in a match?). I hope your right and PL clubs are willing to pay big money to sign a striker who doesn't score many. I can't see why they would be looking to replicate our model of failure.

I honestly fail to understand how so many of our fans hold Rondon in such high esteem. Hard and honest worker maybe, but he's an awful striker, always offside and a poor decision maker regarding players around him. I doubt we'll get anything north of Â£10 million at best, and he'll likely end up back in South America or somewhere in Europe.
Surely there must be exciting, raw and hungry young talent in the lower leagues or abroad we could invest in?

Surprised at how out of touch a few of our fans still are when it comes to today's transfer fees. Rondon will go for north of Â£20m.

beechyboy90 · « **Reply #3143 on:** March 25, 2018, 06:27:06 AM »

Somebody like fenerbache or galtassary or big German French or Spanish clubs if not prem will come in for him. We will make our money back if not more unless he has a crazy release clause like Evans.

I very much doubt he will be here next year

caravanc58 · « **Reply #3144 on:** March 25, 2018, 05:07:32 PM »

I'll give you Â£20 for him😁. make a killing trotting the kiddies up & down barmouth beach.

Because the problem does not lie with Rondon, the lack of creativity and pace in midfield is to blame for 90% of our demise, any fool can see that!

Yes it does when chances are created he misses, his positioning is non existence and i would never ever back him in a one to one with the keeper! And people who think we will get Â£20+ million are IMO going to be very disappointed.

That would be true if Rondon didn't miss comfortable chance after chance. (I like Rondon but nobody can say his finishing is up to scratch).

How confident would we be that if Solo gave us till Xmas in the Championship he would be in the top goal scorers charts?
Is he a confidence player?
If he and Rod started up top we could argue weâ€™d have one of the best pairings at that level - add a young up and coming and HRK and who knows.

Iâ€™d like to see him spearhead next season and see how he gets on.
