Hafnia Posted August 29, 2021 Report Share Posted August 29, 2021 Let's put it into context ...... We spent £45m on niasse and Moise kean, this free signing will be better than both of them for us. Is he an exciting signing? No. But he is ideal for our style of play. AlbanyNYToffee, RuffRob and Matt 3 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
c1982 Posted August 29, 2021 Report Share Posted August 29, 2021 Under Rafa in the Prem… I’ve got no problem with this as a short term fix. More sensible business in my opinion. Matt and Hafnia 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Romey 1878 Posted August 29, 2021 Report Share Posted August 29, 2021 We love a good "if" this summer. Those "if's" don't look like coming to pass, but they sound good at the time. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Btay Posted August 29, 2021 Report Share Posted August 29, 2021 I’m all for it. We will spend the least this window under Moshiri and have the most success. It’s just Everton that. dunlopp9987 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Cornish Steve Posted August 29, 2021 Report Share Posted August 29, 2021 I joked when Benitez was appointed that we might try to recruit players he managed at Dalian Professional. It was sarcasm, honest. I didn't mean to tempt fate. Guess for whom Rondon plays. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Most executives I've worked for recruit people they have had under them before - if you know someone is good at what they do and you have a need for their skillset then why wouldn't you recruit them?

Btay Posted August 29, 2021 Report Share Posted August 29, 2021 He’s going to be third choice and that’s if Moise Kean leaves. Smart business if it means we can get this winger in from Porto as well. Matt 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Newty82 Posted August 29, 2021 Report Share Posted August 29, 2021 I can't remember him being that bad? For some reason I thought he was a bit of a menace, a big unit - capable but nothing special. This is the market we're in now. It is what it is. We have options up top and he'll most likely be in the background 'just in case'. dunlopp9987, Matt and Hafnia 3 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

markjazzbassist Posted August 30, 2021 Report Share Posted August 30, 2021 Not sure why everyone thinks he’s free, he has a contract with Dalian through the end of the year. There will need to be a fee. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Proper handful. Good goals to game record. It's funny, Everton are gonna start looking like one of those teams we hate playing against. You look at the team sheets and think "don't look much" but organised, efficient and disciplined. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

RuffRob Posted August 30, 2021 Report Share Posted August 30, 2021 https://totalfootballanalysis.com/player-analysis/salomon-rondon-newcastle-tactical-analysis-statistics Sound like he could be a bit of an underated player. Think he will be decent enough back up and a reasonable price. Our bench looked so weak at the weekend. I think we all know the order of the day is penny pinching this summer, so maybe as good as we can expect this window. He is at least somebody who will lnow what will be wantwd under Benitez and fit straight in to the style of play. London Blue 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Cornish Steve Posted August 31, 2021 Report Share Posted August 31, 2021 I was looking at the non-Chinese members of the Dalian squad, just in case their names pop up tomorrow. Marcus Danielson - defender Sam Larsson - forward Jailson - midfielder Emmanuel Boateng - forward Salomon Rondon - forward Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
RuffRob Posted August 31, 2021 Report Share Posted August 31, 2021 sounds like Rondon will be the most likely addition today. I am guessing he will be more use than Josh King was- who he would be essentially replacing from the squad we had at the end of last seasn.
