2022/23 Salomón Rondón

[degsy]

You could be there hours arguing this one, as he is another who we should have never have signed.
Add Tosun to that as well, Jesus I can't believe I have watched these 3 in the last 2/3 years.

Who signs the cheques off for players like these

For Tosun, Moshiri apparently...he saw him have a good game once*
And Rondon ? That was Moshiri backing Benitez probably.

Edit;
* same for Walcott and Iwobi

Highlight for me was when he came on v Brentford. 2-3 down, 10 minutes left, absolutely vital relegation points at stake.

Gets sent off within a minute for a ludicrous 2 footed challenge on the half way line.

One of the worst players I’ve ever seen at Everton.

God I had deleted that from my memory, tragic

To think back to our championship teams - BALLY World class only on more by £50 than a Supervisor at Fords in Halewood.......He had to earn income elsewhere......White boots sponsorship, & he got a good wage writing for the magazine Shoot......
We could not afford him into days game as UK as player's.....

Goodbye and good luck. It was never going to work out for Salomón Rondon at Everton, and it didn't.

 

[Rita_Poon]

Loathsome carbuncle of a travesty.

Wish him well.

 

[Cameron Manning]

Your point was that the poster has nothing good to say about Everton.

Neither do I, the fact that getting rid of Rondon 6months early is considered a plus just makes me even sadder.

Rondon is clearly the 1 who made this happen, so I dont see why we should priase Kopite Kev.

I think Salomon’s agent made this possible while netting a nice little earner for both of them.

 

[LEONARD]

We've significantly boosted his pension pot, with ZERO in return.

What a profligate, shambles of a club we are.

 

[knowing your history]

He was decent for West Brom and Newcastle (generally had a 1 in 3 prem scoring record for both) but well past his sell by date here.

Like others have said Brentford should've been the end but I guess the botched transfer window for strikers meant he had to be held on as cover. Assume the plan was to let him go with Allan.

Attack does feel very light over xmas period and must win home games. Yet again in situation of crossing fingers DCL dosen't pick up yet another injury starting every 3 days, I assume he's over his latest injury now for Lampard to give the go ahead.

 

[Terrarian]

Never should have been signed and once it was clear just how unfit he was, he should have been terminated. He even admitted he wasn't fit enough but still picked up his hefty salary. Good riddance for me.

 

[Furey1878]

It seemed like he was well thought of at the club, it's just a shame that he has the athleticism of a panda wearing weighted clothes. Anyways, all the best to him and hopefully the freed up wages are put to good use in January.

 

[ToffeeDevil]

expensive training partner, that's all he was. not his fault he was signed

Somebody should publicly own up to their role in signing this wreck of a player and apologise.

 

[MikeH72]

I still chuckle a lot at that option for a third year.

 

[Colonel Getafe]

….i suspect this deal is very much in Rondon’s financial interest. i’d be very surprised if he’s leaving without a golden handshake & I’d be even more surprised if he’s not lined up a very lucrative ‘Bosman’ and fancy contract somewhere. I doubt we’ll see him signing for Tranmere just to get a game.

The trick is moving players on with a financial package that appeals to them, & I imagine that’s what’s happened here.

Yup, no doubt. He'll have gotten an upfront pay off, we'll have saved some cash on what would have been owed to him, and it frees up space in the squad so everyone wins. This time next week he'll be at Al-Kebab in UAE or somewhere instead of freezing at FF.

Rafael Benitez doesn't do apologies.
