Hi eds
First time poster! Great site.
Any more on Saloman Rondon? I think he'd be a good buy, not too expensive, and looks like a decent addition from what I've seen of him?
Prefer to sign him stead of benteke
Cheers
{Ed001's Note - we are trying to sign Benteke not Rondon.}

Why are we trying to get benteke ? there's much better forwards out there that would work hard for the team and make things happen in the match. This guy for the money they are wanting its nuts to think we are going to wast more money on a forward that's all ready the same as Mario Balotelli and won't work hard for the team.

Agreed, Rondon is half the price too. Same age. Better goal record :(

Name few of them PJMC29.As for Rondon he could complete just 7 games in the whole season and is very inconsistent.So it will be a huge gamble to sign him.

Better goal record, are you having a laugh?
You need to look at what teams he plays against (Torpedo Moscow, FK Rosto, Ural S.R) - These are some of the worst teams in the Russian PRL. Furthermore, Rondon has the stamina of a potato, and this is probably why he is so lazy. Trust me, you don´t want Rondon.

Benteke wouldn't be my first choice either as would have preferred bacca. However, there is no doubting bentekes ability and the club clearly want him. Who knows what effort he will put in when he plays for us but I'm sure he will be encouraged to give more if the fans back him.

Mitrovic would fit better and cost a third of the price of Benteke. Hope he can prove the majority wrong and shine if he signs.

People piss me off keep comparing ballotelli with benteke, they are nothing like the same.
If ballotelli scored the same amount of goals as benteke has then he wouldn't be getting sold would he?

So much negativity towards benteke, but if we don't sign him those same people will bitch and moan about it.

Lpoolphil, I would moan if we didn't sign Benteke or any other striker, because it's crystal clear we need a first team striker.
The complaints about Benteke being this striker are completely justified, too. Unless we are to completely alter out system to one reliant on balls into the box from deep or wide, we will not get the best out of Benteke, and could find a striker better suited to our preferred style for a similar price, or even cheaper.

Spot on, Toddy!

I don't see why there's so much negativity regd Benteke. We have Firmino whos a known and capable defensive player as well, plus some great midfield signings. So as long as we hv someone up front firing in chances consistently i don't c why laziness is so much of an issue. Many other better strikers for the price? Granted. But who can we actually sign at this moment w/o champs league? Talking abt marquee signing so no comments on Rondon.
