Now I appriciate I am not privy to the wheeling and dealings carried out by the inner circle but I really hope the reported terms of this loan deal with Rondon and Gayle are not correct, a straight 'loan' swap for one season with us receiving a £2 million loan fee.  If that is it, someone wants their head looking.

Remember Rondon only has one year left on his contract, so after the one year swap deal Rondon will be out of contract with us and free to move anywhere for FREE!!!  Where is the logic in that?

If he is going to be sold, sell him now while he has some value or at least get him to sign a new contract before the loan.  Just loan swapping him for Gayle, for one season then losing Rondon on a free, is ridiculous, Rondon is IMO a better 'all round' player than Gayle, so to give him away to Newcastle for £2 mil, plus the loan of Gayle for a season, I think my 7 years old grandson could negotiate a better deal than that.

(EDIT) Just been reading that we still have a further year extension on Rondon, at the clubs discretion which could technically be added to his contract, if I have read the report correctly, it was a little vague.
