2021/22 Salomón Rondón

[Nymzee]

He was never fast in the first place so no idea why people are surprised he’s slow. He’s got zero match fitness. I expected nothing tonight and got that. I’ll judge him more when he’s up to speed.

 

[stretford blue]

Honestly, he's just about the slowest player I've ever seen. I'm not sure all the fitness training in the world is going to have much of an impact on that. £90k a week for two years! I hope there's a club in the UAE looking for a forward next summer.

I don't think he was ever quick but his hold up play has been non existent and hasn't won many headers

It's early days, tbf, but he's not got off to a good start.

 

[MACCA75]

Looks worse than Tosun so far.

 

[sconeblaster]

Rondon needs games obviously but disappointed he didn't start Simms or bring him on.

Ideally he needs to start Simms and include Dobbin v Norwich because Sadman Wrongun is nowhere near to being remotely useful to us at present.

 

[MACCA75]

Reading Benitez’ comments about Simms the other day, there is zero chance of him starting Prem games.

 

[ProZ]

Too good not to go in the Rondon thread

Simms has had no pre-season and hasn’t played since May. What would you expect from him at the weekend?

 

[diggerdestroyer]

Cant judge. Not fit enough yet. Judge in october. However those who wanted kean out have to understand this is the replacement. It was always going to be this way.

 

[roy vernon]

Still this ^

And still correct.

Hopefully more than our ageing Venezuelan ‘superstar’ , certainly no worse unless it’s actually possible to be worse than useless.

 

[PhilRegan]

This guy is like watching a road traffic accident. This makes the king deal look like good business so far.

 

[roy vernon]

Grass is not all he's been eating...looks like he ate an Unsworth

He takes after his dad, Benitez.

 

[ForeverBlue92]

Didnt do much but dont think he got much service either.
