Salomon Rondon

It’s all over the papers saying we’re in for him 12.5 mill

I’d be happy with this, works his socks off, good in the air and in the box, but I think we would face a bidding war with some other teams for his signing.

Potentially a rumour, I know we ain't in the silly money market these days.

dont want him personally,

According to a close source we already signed him, in my opinion he is a bit like Zohore he has got the pace, strength and goal threat so any additions to the striking role the better because our team would get tired of playing in the cups along with league matches.

I would try and get someone like Woodburn, Crouch, Robson Kanu, midfield is tough to choose from but i would fancy dipping my toe in an offer for lanzini from west ham or harry winks from spurs a bit of pace in midfield would be epic, i think we should bring back bryson too as he is everywhere in the midfield.

Personally, I hope not. already in his way out of The Prem with WBA. While he has attributes, prolific goal scoring isn't one of them.Id also like a striker with more pace.

Played in La Liga, Champions League, Europa League, Premier League. Yes I think you could say he’s better than Zohore. Definately stronger, anyway.

Seems his time away from the big cities has seen him mature as a player and a person by all accounts. Warnock could handle him and I don't think this group of players would allow him to have an ego. He offers power and pace, but with but with more of a goal threat than Ken.

Rondon would be an excellent signing

Don't want to put a downer on things, but think some need to calm down a little with expectations regarding signings.
For the record I think Rondon would be at the top of our limits in who we could realistically get. A proven prem league striker, good age, strong and physical. Doesn't seem to have a big ego! Would be a great signing and at a decent price!

He would be a very good signing.

His goalscoring record before WBA is excellent. He also made a super start (6 months) at WBA. Since then his goalscoring record has not been great but that could be because WBA have been poor and disrupted a fair bit. Who knows. But I agree he is probably at the top end of our recruitment ambitions.

Also....Need to join the hunt for St Etienes Mindfielder Jonathan Bamba - not just because of the name! He's out of contract and will 100% move, I think he's only 23 and had a fantastic season! Can play both left and right wing, fast,strong and tricky!
Looks like West Ham are leading the chase, but would think we can offer a stable club and good 1st team opportunities if not as high wages!

Rumours on Glasgow Rangers forum we're leading the way for Josh Windass, son of Dean Windass. Don't know much on Josh so can't comment.

Personally id be happy with Rondon, the type of player we may need to stay up. Whoever we play upfront is going to have a hell of a job, and have to be able to put a hell of a shift in.

Everytime I've watched him he's been good.

My mate has a Rangers ST and he heard this rumour a few weeks back.
He also said that he could probably play at premiership level.
Low wages, Low fee. :thumbright:

I hope we don’t pay 12 million or anything near that for anyone, stinks of our last premiership, what if RonDon offers nothing 12 nil down the shitter. Frees and loans for me, 3/4 5mil players I’ll be happy with that, players who can stay with us if relegated on modest wages.

We need someone who has the work ethic of Jamie vardy, we could get someone like danny welbeck but that is an expensive option or maybe benifk afobe?
