Matt Posted August 31, 2021 Report Share Posted August 31, 2021 1 hour ago, RuffRob said: 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. I imagine Rafa would've loved King.

Cornish Steve Posted September 1, 2021 Report Share Posted September 1, 2021 I hope to be pleasantly surprised, but expectations are certainly low. Recruits from the Russian leagues proved poor. Will someone from the Chinese league prove somehow to be an improvement? We can endlessly claim this was a free transfer, but that's immaterial: Is this the level of quality to which we now aspire? Get out there Salomon and prove me wrong - please. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

He’s not really from the Chinese League though given he’s performed well in England and our manager is very familiar with him. dunlopp9987 and Matt 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Rafa will have now managed him on 3 different teams so he clearly thinks he can do a job. Matt 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I watched him for west Brom and Newcastle and was impressed by his physicality and work rate. People often used to talk about one of our ex players as being a beast, this fella is. Absolute nightmare for centre halves in the sense that he is physically dominant and is alive in the box. Very very underrated.

Bailey Posted September 1, 2021 Report Share Posted September 1, 2021 He might not be an exciting signing, but Kean was and look how that ended up! The Newcastle fans love him and wanted him back and as I have said before, if he is the same player that left this shores a two or three years ago, then he will be a shrewd piece of business. badaids 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
