2021/22 Salomón Rondón

[roy vernon]

With an option of a third, unbelievably.

He did. One of the Benitez supporters on here called me out for being surprised about it when he signed and said we were lucky to get him on a free for 2 years and that nobody would come in on a 1 year deal.

Be lucky if he scores five. He looked very poor last night but hopefully will improve.


Did he really sign a 2-year deal?

Does give plenty of time to get match fit

It’s actually true - I said he would be signed on a 2 year deal and on 100k a week due to some info I received. I was shouted down but actually it seems the terms were even worse than I anticipated.

Niasse at his peak actually scored a few if you remember. If Rondon ever had any skill it appears to have gone along with his pace.

I just looked through their premier league records to compare.
Unless I hit a button wrong on the calculator:

-Niasse played 3337 Premier League minutes (with a few less than half his appearances coming from the bench) and scored 12 goals.
That works out to a goal for about every 278 minutes played.

-Rondon has played 10917 PL minutes (almost entirely played as a starter) and scored 35 goals.
That works out to a goal for about every 312 minutes played.

A person could reasonably analyze a lot more to compare their time in England, but in terms of just the raw "how many goals did you score in the time you were given?" Oumar absolutely comes out ahead.

If you compare their time in Russia, Rondon was once every 126 minutes and Oumar once every 146 minutes.

The only particularly impressive time in Rondon's career was when he was 21 and 22, scoring goals for Malaga. But I'd think Everton fans would typically disregard goals scored in the distant past for Malaga, especially considering Sandro scored more often for them than Rondon did.

Some Good finds there. Helps to put into perspective what a nonsense this whole acquisition was.

im afraid his fitness levels show his attitude towards the whole charade as well.

Lad isn't match fit and wouldn't have started if our 2 strikers weren't out injured after just 5 games as peak Everton.

Get off his back and give him time.

Mate I agree with you. Are softening your opinion on dcl these days too?

No way that happens.

please tell me I am misunderstanding what you’re saying at he is not on 100k per week

Niasse had a peak ???

£130k a week he's on, took a pay cut from £250k per week in China to comeback.

Nearer £150k when bonuses for appearance/goals/wins are added in.

you are kidding me? 130k a week? Why do we hand out massive contracts to dog turd players? Have we not learnt our lesson?

Will cost us what? £13/14m over 2 years.
that is cheap compared to buying a big standard premier league and paying wages on top.

Yes....

Have you changed your mind about Niasse?

He was written off prematurely like a lot of players who come to England from foreign leagues. His effort makes up for his lack of finesse
