And to give him a 2 year contract is just absolutely mentalIt was the goal to have him in for the US tour.
Maybe that would have helped his fitness but Dalian wanted money because he wasn't on a free. This nonsense that people keep pedalling that 'well who else was on a free' needs to stop. Rondon wasn't out of contract, he basically had to negotiate his way out at Dalian.
My worry with him wasn't just the fitness. It was that he was 31 (now 32), had been in China and Russia for 2 years in a pandemic and just wasn't going to be very good.
