Transfer Rumour Salomon Rondon.

[Dad watched Dixie]

Townsend crossing to Rondon. Both in their thirties. Who says we have low expectations?

Peter Reid to Paul Power (both in their thirties) in the title year 1986/87 didn't work out too bad.

We’d won the championship, Europe and the cup 2 seasons before. We were a force

not even comparable

 

[Dad watched Dixie]

Yes it is. The point was made specifically about their age, not the strength of the team

He’s been playing for CSKA Moscow hasn’t he? Same league that seems to have established Vlasic as a player of note….. 4 goals and 2 assists in 16 games apparently.
Chinese super league might be full of washed up / money grabbing mercenaries playing a terrible standard, but he’s also been playing in Russia which is seen as a good enough league to laud Vlasic.

Same league that Oumar came from

Prince Oumar to you ??

 

[Bluestar]

Benitez seems to be using many players that may not be first choice to very good effect

He does, he is adding depth with players he can actually utilise.

haha, saying on the radio we can't afford to pay Rondons wages.

If only this would produce the same result.

What was that on, Radio Gaga?

Should have signed Troy.
Would have been completed by now.

Although free he would probably command a signing on fee and rumoured to be on £170,000 a week in China so probably looking at £100,000+

 

[stretford blue]

I am sure wba looked at him in January but wages were too much

I'm only reporting what was said mate, like you I'm going to wait till the end of the day and see what happens but I can't say I'm overly confident.

 

[billyblue80]

Im going to say yes purely because your comment was sarcastic.

But seriously I don't know how we can know what he is like now, we can't base it on two or three years ago. I suppose if he is solid back up fair enough I hope he is. I am just not convinced when he has been released by a Chinese club and nobody else bar a championship team is after him it doesn't fill you will confidence. My fear is a two year deal could mean he ends up as deadwood on our books in a year....
