2021/22 Salomón Rondón

[Magnifico1988]

Needs dropped and taking out the firing line, bloke looks so out his depth it’s unbelievable. His hold up and link up play for a centre forward is the worst I’ve ever seen. People can say fitness, but it’s not hard to get the ball down pop it off and move. Must be the slowest centre forward I’ve seen make the box aswell. Cross comes in the box and he’s always 3 seconds to late ?

Davies's goal yesterday, he's not even in the Watford half

Moving forward past the insuts and correct analysis of this appalling player...

...will Benitez move him on in January?

No Zat, Rondon won't leave. Where else would he get a payday like this?

Maybe he`ll be Benitez first signing when he gets fired back to his ever loving Geordies ?

Maybe he can take his cheer leader, @JimmyNail92 with him whilst he`s at it.

Appalling this fella. Every week I think “well he can’t play that bad again, next week he must be better”. Then next week he’s even worse.

Leaving him on yesterday stunk of stubbornness from Benitez. Ego getting in the way of what’s best for the team.

Tried to give him time but has had enough time now
must be dobbin or Simms alongside Richie against wolves

…I thought about this lots recently. Benitez bases his system on swift counter-attacking but has a central striker who struggles to catch up with wingers and midfielders when they break.

if he lays a ball off on the halfway line he’s unlikely to be on the end of anything that subsequently happens. A prime example of a transfer not fitting the way you want your team to play.

Simms is injured, dobbin is more of a wide forward

Rondon needs punting, but we’ll still have the same issue whoever is up front if Benitez insists on playing dire, long ball, crap football

But Benitez was entirely insistent that we go and get him… it’s madness

Got a proper, proper player on our hands here lads. Nobody is better than our pie arse.

But he wasn't involved in any of that

Probably still getting up from the pre-kick off knee

 

[ToffeeTim]

Can everyone who backed this signing please explain yourselves lol

He is literally the worst forward we've ever had. I gave Tosun stick for being immobile but this is on another level.

Either he's so unfit or lacking in mobility that he can't perform at this level, or his effort levels are really poor. Either way, it's hardly a good scenario.

 

[maccavennie]

@whiteshadow I was assuming the middle finger was for stating the obvious about Rondon being an absolute joke..

Then I realised you had a little early morning middle finger twitch if anyone dared to question Benitez or as I called him, a "has been".

 

[maccavennie]

The only way we get rid of this lump of turd would be if Newcastle got Benitez and Benitez took him to Newcastle.

@BlueToff do you know anything about the medicals players go through and the analytics and data they go through before signing a player?

I'd love to know what kind of medical they gave this fella to make them believe his legs haven't gone and he's finished as a top flight footballer.
