I wouldn't write Rondon off quite yet, he's had his share of poor games but was starting to look good prior to his suspension. I watched him plenty of times in his Malaga days and he certainly had talent back then but does seem to be someone who thrives on confidence.
Personally I think we're desperately short in the centre of the park. Mozza's injury leaves us with just Yacob, Fletcher and Gardner and we do often play 3 there. Gardner especially isn't any more than a squad player at this level and while Evans did a job there when required earlier in the season - we shouldn't need to be that stretched.
Hopefully the Townsend move sparks Spurs into life and we can use that money on a couple of players. I think Saido will prove to be one of the best strikers in the league but clearly we need the cash to invest and he's rarely used in his natural forward position anyone. I'd say his cameo's in the #10 position between midfield and attack are going to devalue him - the guy's best asset is playing on the shoulder and finishing.
