2021/22 Salomón Rondón

[NewRadical]

Doesn't even get in the right position for opportunities in the box.

For someone so tall he looks tiny when trying to win a high ball.

He doesn't jump for the majority of times he's in a tussle. In fact, it almost looks like he makes himself smaller.

Regardless, he's massively crap isn't he.

If he played for anyone else I'd laugh at how bad he is.

 

[GrandOldTeam]

Worst striker to ever play for the club since I've been a fan.

The manager is embarrassing himself by giving him the game time he is.

He's losing the 'moderate' fan by persisting.

I'd have understood Rondon starting and being brought off an hour in. But keeping him on and starting him with Iwobi... Just no defence of it.

Agreed. And thats saying something when we had Niasse and Straq on the books.

 

[windymiller]

He’s earned about £60k this week.
He will earn the same next week as well..

Cheeky get said he’s trying boxing to get fit now though..

Been here for months, and now you think you might want to get fit !!

An absolute joke of a football club we are.

If he's not fit after 4 months and 10 appearances, he'll never be fit. This is his level now. With us for at least another 18 months, possibly another 2 1/2 years. Utterly incomprehensible signing.

Third time Benitez has signed him.

 

[CahillsCornerFlag]

Said it before and I’ll say it again, him and Iwobi would struggle to start for most championship teams they’re that bad.

 

[MACCA75]

I’d give him a 3/10 today - and that was his best performance since he’s been here.

 

[grandjoeblue]

Definitely. Both are absolutely shocking and they couldn't care less.

6ft 2 on the ground 3ft 6 in the air

 

[Brett Angell Delight]

Couldn’t fault the logic in bringing him in, but persisting with him at this point is very, very weird. It is difficult to believe there isn’t a forward player in our youth ranks that couldn’t outperform him.

At the moment that doesn’t even constitute being a PL level footballer. Being an energetic menace would be enough to be a significant upgrade.

 

[Daveysgingerlovechild]

Makes me miss Jo. Badly.

he'd be better off playing smaller faster players without a striker and rely on lots of movement to create chances and he can make a point that even though he signed him you get what you pay for (Iwobinho is the exception that proves the rule)

 

[JimmyK]

He’s so terrible it hardly even feels worth commenting on but I don’t want it go unnoticed that he’s an absolute joke.
