2022/23 Salomón Rondón

[Terrarian]

BOOOOOOOO

It's not often I begrudge people the wages they earn, no matter how high they are. This fella though should've had his contracted terminated when he showed up so out of shape and spent nearly the whole season trying to get fit when the reality is, this level is too high for him. Worst ever signing has to be, pound for pound.(wages)

To be fair, it was a bold pound for pound improvement strategy just going for increasing the weight poundage.

Talk about putting all your all you can eat buffet on one plate.

His best performance for us in the league lol

Like I've said elsewhere, that's what he was signed as; back-up, no more no less. Not his fault he was shoved into leading the line.

 

[KindofBlue]

I actually saw his shirt flap when he ran, who knew he had such speed. Was tidy for the time he played today.

 

[hashbike]

Good cameo!

 

[4737carlin]

Nice cameo that, even if he did look tired for the final 90 seconds of his 6 minute run out.

 

[steven]

I’d keep him till January as an option then try and move him on. Think we might need him for the odd 5/10 mins here and there.

 

[leslad]

Did he do what the cat couldn't and nutmeg Zouma?

 

[TommyDavo]

Thought he gave us a focal point when we were coming under increasing pressure. Couple of nice take downs on the chest to maintain possession and keep us in their half of the field. Definitely shed a few kilo

Depth is still a problem. Here and in the derby we were sucking wind at the end and holding on for dear life.

Rondon gave us a bit of an outlet. He was able to take passes , hold them up, and in a couple of cases flick them on. Nothing fancy, but it let us relieve the pressure, get back into shape, and kill a bit of time.

Not going to make the North v South All Star Game, but serviceable in his own small but helpful way.

 

[Lanolin]

He came in as an alternative target man for when Calvert lewin wasn’t available and ended up starting 8 games. If anything I would imagine he got less chances to lead the line than he expected.

No he didn't. He came in as a squad filler and back up to Richie and Dom. No way was he signed as a regular starter.

The problem, is that he can only sustain any level of intensity for about five minutes, after that he`s looking for the oxygen mask.

And he didn’t start regularly. 8 games isn’t a lot for a back up striker to start, especially when the bloke he’s back up for misses almost the entire season.
