IMHO Salmon Rondon is a fine player who was wasted with us, playing with the managers we had during his time here.
His stats with us don't do him credit; last year at Newcastle hinted what he COULD be like playing in a team looking to get forward - and even that was in a team that was always looking for survival as their priority.
Always seemed to give his all, too, although he must've been totally frustrated by our tactics.
Good man, very good player. Good luck, SR.

I agree and although he missed a few all good strikers do, I would rather remember him for a couple of crackers he got.
Good luck to him Thumb up

Confirmed about Ajayi what a price that is !!!

#wba have now agreed a fee with #rufc for Semi Ajayi. In the region of £1.5m up front. Very shrewd business in my opinion. Young, versatile player

Slaven Bilic wanted some movement at #wba this week, and looks like he's getting it. Zohore and Ajayi incoming https://t.co/YEI4hxr9zx

On the Downside CL has just tweeted saying Hegazi has picked up a serious injury and maybe out for months ??
Not sure how close a ties he has with the club since he left the Brum mail hope it's not true !!

Looking at the Cardiff forum on Zohore, the fans seem to be very mixed about him.

Lots celebrating his departure... Some saying he can be excellent on his day, but often goes missing... The odd one saying he will be a big miss...

Most tend to agree that we have paid over the odds.

I definitely think we need a proven goalscorer in addition. Robson Kanu and Zohore have similar records and appear to divide opinion the same way, but one thing we know for sure is neither have ever been prolific.

#wba have announced the signing of Kenneth Zohore on a four-year deal. Fee is £8m in total. He's the club's new No.9. (Photo: AMA) https://t.co/78GzqKiT3C

Welcome Zohore.

I haven’t really seen him play so I won’t comment on his style. He is 6 ft 2 so suits what Bilić wants in a striker, like he had with Demba Ba and Andy Carroll.

A poor Signing ( IMHO). Hopefully i will be proved wrong. Any news on Ajayi?
