perhaps not, but he is clearly not playing for free either. to suggest a professional at premier league level needs time to get fit is an absolutely astonishing statement to make.

What is the annual cost of running a lamp post? Just stick couple of 0s on the end, won't be far off.
Just a light lunch of a Sunday dinner with a couple of pot noodles lobbed on top to keep our Sally Rondon full of energy for this evening.

Out of curiosity, do you have the same opinion about James? Free transfer, wages equate to about £16m over two years for him.

It's not though is it.
Why do premier league clubs bother with pre-season games then? They have money spinners but why bother wit the smaller games where they use it for fitness and match fitness? Rondon is still fitter than 99% of people on here, but the whole point of pre-season to get players used to playing 90mins, being sharp and getting their body into a routine mentally and physically.
It's astonishing that you think premier league players are superhuman and dont need to prepare their body for the demands. Are the 1000's of Football Clubs who require a pre-season to help players physically prepare all wrong? Are they all being ASTONISHING in their preperation? It's no secret that if a player misses a pre-season training programme (specfically deisnged that for player) then they will be behind.
I hvae seen a few of your usual negaive posts but this one is just ridiculous.

What a load of guff to attempt to justify an absolutely pointless acquisition.
Players do not join premier league clubs unfit mid season - pre season is used for that, and he has had a chance to get himself fit in China.

When he bags his first goal and the haters go crawl under their rocks like they did with Gray and Townsend - two other "crap" signings iirc

No idea mate, we just seem to love doing it. Those figures are from someone I trust as well so no reason to doubt it, apparently he could name his wage as we were that desperate come the end of the window, shambles really.

Hope he does tonight.
Don't think he was a crap signing. But he's 32, been in China/Russia for two years, hardly fit (because of playing in China/Russia for 2 years and then having 4 months off since May) and we've given him a 2-year deal with an option for a third.
That’s not including his appearance fee (30k) and goal bonus (100k source: @maccavennie). We are paying old Salomon Butties up to £280k a week.
Is Masterchef on the TV tonight? If it is, don't be expecting Sally Rondon to be playing. Loves his cookery programmes.
Top man, top chef!!!
