Check out some of his goals, defenders couldn’t handle him. Since the injury he’s never been the same again. Agree Rondon is a much better player. He is the kind of player defenders hate playing against as he showed against city and Liverpool the 2 best defences in the country and they struggled to contain him. Dealing with a slow motion Kodija would be food and drink for them, Never said he wasn't a decent player once upon a time but from what I've seen in the past 18 months that ship has well and truly sailed. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

VillaHatesMe Posted June 7, 2019 Share Posted June 7, 2019 Rondon is a generic brand Maxi Gomez. I mean that as a compliment. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Junxs Posted June 7, 2019 Share Posted June 7, 2019 Mitovic and Rondon? I'm glad VillaTalk doesn't make our signings If we sign either of those then it tells me where our intentions are at for the coming season. Mitrovic has a career 1 in 4 goal ratio and Rondon has 35 goals in 140 games for WBA & Newc in the prem (also 1 in 4) Either would cost £20m ish, no thanks 4 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Rafa had to adapt them to do would be could to keep them up. Lets see how we play next season before we get too excited about our style of football. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Yes, Rafa is an excellent manager but we have a vibrant and young manager in Smith. I think we’re currently an attractive proposition, particularly after our play off victory Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

We scored most our goals from crosses last season, makes sense to me to have a big man up front, wouldn't cost a fortune either. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
