WEST BROM. Salomon Rondon to China now looks favourite. Fee and wages should work. That will disappoint WEST HAM WOLVES and NEWCASTLE. Money talks.

Not just money talking I am certain if Rafa would have stayed at Newcastle so would Rondon, but where is Rafa yes he’s in China so fully understand if Rondon wants to join him. Remember in Pulis last season we turned down a 30 mill bid from China so good luck to Rondon.

Jarod has not flown out with the rest of squad to Spain today, expected to sign for Burnley in coming days. Ahwell at least he scored in his last game for us, it was a behind closed doors 4 3 win last week I think it was against Telford. Good luck JRod good man , good player I for 1 will win him the best.

If the £10m deal touted for Rodriguez is true, I think it will be a good deal for the club.
Good pro who always works really hard, but didn't really look anything special last year in the Championship and if you take his penalties away, was hardly prolific. The days of him being a Premier League player are long gone IMO.
I believe that the insistence of playing both Gayle and Rodriguez together last season was actually a poor decision as one of them was always out of position.
If Jenkins and Dowling have their heads screwed on, they would cash in on both Rodriguez and Rondon and invest in Gayle and a younger player as backup. Gayle would score even more if he has a number 10 behind him rather than playing with Rodriguez. Maybe Krovinovic would suit that role.
Of course, this is unlikely to happen and we'll probably end up without any proven strikers for next season.

I'm beginning to think the Bilic appointment is a hoodwink as the asset selling continues. Please tell me I'm wrong?

We will not give Gayle 55 grand a week in this division, Rondon going JRod going leaves us with HRK and he misses the first game through suspension. Why some fans are down on JRod I will never know did great for us without his no stop running and appetite for the game we would not have reached the top 6. Good player and will be well missed.
The players gone are the players we new would leave they all had there flexdown wages. Will will bring in a lot of players Bilic will have friends who will allow us to loan and buy players Don’t worry the transfer window is only just picking up.
