Everton must avoid huge January transfer gamble after throwing money at familiar problem

Releasing Salomon Rondon helps free up a space to bring in a striker or two in January and I think Everton have really got to do that.

The Rondon signing didn’t work. It was a shock at the time, not just in terms of his age but where he came from given that he’d been playing for Rafa Benitez in China but the club backed the manager and trusted his judgement.

He never really looked sharp and couldn’t make an impact when called upon so I think letting him go now is the right decision and credit to Salomon too because he could have stayed and sat on his backside while still picking up his wages but he can go and do something else now whether it’s playing for another club or deciding to retire.
