Sign Rondon, I`m looking forward to seeing maybe even Perez getting better if Almiron starts to show what he can do. Perez has a great touch when he`s on song and a flair speed machine bursting from midfield could be deadly with the tactics Rafa employed at Wolves.
I would buy Rondon and A N Other
I think we need better quality ,rondon has done a job ,I'd keep him and add better

Some players find their confidence in the Championship and then go back to the Premier and are fantastic. Look no further than Harvey Barnes - came to us and could not get any games at Leicester - was explosive with us and now a regular in the first eleven at Leicester! You could say, we set him on the road to stardom by being noticed.
I would even take a straight swap of Gayle for Rondon!
Of the two I'd have Rondon.Quote:

Dwight was bought for the Champ & that's his level - he was class in that season we were down but bottles it in the Prem. He proved that to Palace & with us & wasn't he in the Prem with someone else too?
Anyway Muto is still to show his talents (if any) in the prem so we will see if he's an upgrade on Gayle; I see them as similar players short, pacey etc but time will tell.
However come the summer we might have a change on ownership which could me major investment - Yes I'm an optimist maybe deluded but I can't help but hope that we get some serious investors who understand the actual brand value of the 19th wealthiest football club on planet earth!
Remember the season I think it was when we beat Barcelona in the CL that we also beat them in terms of revenue earned and were rated 6th wealthiest club - tells you everything about the shrewd business acumen of the current owner lads.
Here's hoping!
I'd hate to think rondon is the future of the toon striker job
i dont believe either of them are the quality we need but are the best we can expect under MA.Quote:

Id personally like to see Rondon up top with Almiron AND Perez playing in behind him
Of the two - Rondon.
However, i think we need another striker as well.
Gayle, just has a mental block on the prem. Brilliant in chimpo but cannot make the jump up properly.
That's crazy lmfao because everything you say he never did for you he does for us his first touch has been really good his hold up play is second to none and he has been pretty ruthless in front of goal as for Gayle i hope you lot don't get sucked into the hype like we did when we got promoted he looked an absolute beast in the championship and failed to deliver in the prem and we were saying pretty much the same thing as you.Quote:
