But for £12m I wasn't expecting a player who couldn't control a ball properly, or a bloke whose 5 or 6 efforts at goal have been pretty "Championship" to me.
I'm far from being an expert (I posted about 4 years ago that Chris Wood would be a top Premier player!) But I commented on Salomon from what I've seen. He might turn out to be a decent-ish player when he fully settles in, but his 1st touch looks pretty poor to me for £12m. Obviously hope I'm wrong (again).
No that's fair enough mate and for 12 million we do expect someone to come in and hit the ground running. But the only real decent service I can remember Rondon having was away at Stoke when lambert crossed in a beauty and he scored the header. Other than that he's been isolated for the majority of games. I just think we're expecting too much from someone who has nobody within 50 yards of him sometimes and surrounded by 4 defenders
