Still, another player in the premier league that's fine by me. Hopefully one day we will be in a position where the entire first XI and most of the subs are in the Premier league.

His success may depend on a new manager if Pulis walks as is rumoured

I think Hal would have been better waiting til after the window closed.
That way he would have been seen as a bonus player to whoever he signed with, rather than A disappointment because he's not a £15million pound player.

Has scored an absolute cracker.
His first goal since the Belgium game!

Had a sterling MoM performance with an assist and a scremer winning goal! In a couple of months people will be asking "Rondon who?" :-)

The guy has a first class attitude. Swansea could do with men like him right now. Wales are lucky to have him - Bale and Ramsey were the key reason for our qualification and success in the euros but this guy was up there with Williams and Allen in terms of his contribution, especially given how poor our forward options have been.

Hal looked decidedly off the pace in our last game, here's hoping he gets a run of games up front.

The Davies situation got me wondering how HRK had followed up his match winning performance against Southampton. By all accounts he played really well yet is back to being a late time wasting substitute only a couple of weeks later which suggests some truth in the rumours that he was signed by the West Brom hierarchy and not Pulis himself. Another one who desperately needs to find a new club.

Another one who desperately needs to find a new club. I'm more content with the HRK situation. At least he's shown he can be trusted to lead the line for them, it's just that Rondon is ahead of him at the moment. He's very much the second choice CF so if Rondon get's an injury/suspension, needs a rest or loses form, Hal will get his opportunities. For the time being, he's getting around 20 mins each game which is better than some.

I like HRK but I don't think he's good enough to lead the line for a PL side, he's probably found his level as a second choice in that division.

I don't think anyone would argue that he is good enough for that but even as a squad player I would have thought he would have seen more minutes on the pitch than he has. His constant use as a sub around 87 minutes is so transparent as to what Pulis makes of him.

Officially the most used sub in the Premier League this season (almost every game since he's been there with just 1 start - of which he scored the winning goal). www.youtube.com/watch?v=gCGw4cx47D0On the move again in the summer? Although it is easy to forget that West Brom are now probably a top 10 side, for this season anyway. Pulis doesn't fancy him and as I remember didn't even want to sign him in the first place, someone correct me if I am wrong.

A really bad move, he would have been better off going to China. 9 times out of 10 only brought on around the 87th minute to kill time.
West Brom fans said on their forum that he was signed by the chairman at the last minute because of criticism from the fans that the club weren't spending any of the increased premier league revenues. So they sign a free agent!
Pulis obviously doesn't rate him and doesn't treat him with much respect- has a very good game when he starts and then is back to a time wasting sub role. Would hope that he moves on at the end of the season, can't see him going any higher than upper championship though. Still, I expect he got a hefty signing on fee so for him personally it probably wasn't all that bad....

He could no doubt cut it for a lot of lower end La Liga sides, some of the teams I've seen this season are crying out for a player like him

Thought it was a terrible move at the time. Had the chance to make a packet and play regularly in China, or even go for the experience in another European league - the offers were there. Shame.

I think the China move may have effected his international career. Coleman never fancied Earnshaw when he was in the US which is a better level of football.

Credit to Hal, he wanted to play in the premier league and turned down these opportunities to give it a go. Its not worked out as he'd hoped so he should look to move on if possible in the summer.

Massive shame it's not working for him there, he's good enough to play in the PL for sure.

Signed a new 3 year deal with WBA. Can't see the logic in that personally (other than £££).
