Rondon

[Zippity]

I'd like to see him start on Saturday...I think the ball will stick much better than it does with Joselu. I'd also like to see Muto start instead of the hard-working-but-shite Perez.

Neither will happen, though.

Not really what supporters of your NEW club want to hear. They don't know theyre born these buggers, no wonder they get the stick they do! Maybe he should engage the brain before his gob!

But supporters (or some will) of his new club will also have children, they will also have had positions where they had to uproot family and that will have cause problems for his children. Hence i can understand that.

I'm agreeing with you for the rest of it.

Joselu scored, so i reckon that almost guarantees him the start. Reckon Muto will get longer this game though.

Saying how hard it is to settle in new area , kids etc ,

Must be a nightmare having to put your kids in private school , driven there in a £100k Range Rover , renting a £10000 a month house , earning £60-£80k a week minimum for kicking a ball around .

Get a grip son.

Too true - these days the club run around after them and their family´s every need. They want to try moving to a new country on their own with a language they don´t speak and no assistance like I did when I was 22. No internet or mobiles in those days either. Today it´s very easy to move away from your home, friends and family compared to back then.

Anyway the bug*er's moved from Birmingham, not Venezuela.

As much as I agree with the "get on with it, you're paid a fortune" part, he's human and any person moving home just to another part of town is a stress and even changing schools in that town, then settling in to that area.

Moving into a totally different city that's a few hours away from your known comfort will take a bit of getting used to, whether you've got 800 billion or 10 pence.

The stress of knowing your kids will be way out of their initial comfort zone will destroy any parent. Any parent on here will testify to that.

That's not sticking up for Rondon, it's merely an observation of life for any person.
But just like anything...Army, jail, in extremes...most get used to it as long as the transition is not fraught with any major issues in settling.

He's also on loan so it's not like he can settle in and ease up in the knowledge that he's got a long term home and school for his kids.

All we have to hope for is that he settles in quickly and starts to feel the love and affiliation, then we might just see the Rondon that actually promised much more than he's delivered elsewhere.

All I can say is, the Rondon I saw in the better times was a major nuisance to defenders, so add a few goals to that and we could be cooking on gas...even if it's just a camping stove.

of course it's difficult for kids

1 look around newcastle, the coast and northumberland ..... they will wonder why they didn't get here sooner.

With a 0.22 average goal rate , 24 goals in 94 games for wba can't even see cooking on a camping stove .. More like trying to boil a pan of water with a bic fag lighter underneath it.
Be interesting to see how much each of those goals cost wba. Including transfers and wages and bonus.

To save you looking I did a bit research .. If wiki is classed as research .
£12m transfer + annual wages of £3.2m ish ... £21.6 .. £900000 per goal .. Plus bonuses.. So about £1m a goal .. Cracking value .
