Former Newcastle United forward Micky Quinn said on The Alan Brazil Sports Breakfast show on talkSPORT on Thursday morning (08:15am, November 23, 2017) that he felt sorry for Salomon Rondon when Tony Pulis was the West Bromwich Albion manager.

Pulis has recently been dismissed as the West Brom manager following a run of poor results in the Premier League.

The Baggies established themselves in the Premier League under Pulis, but there is a chance that they could get relegated to the Championship at the end of the season.

The Hawthorns faithful were not happy with the football played by the former Stoke City and Crystal Palace manager.

West Brom adopted a defensive approach under Pulis and did not score too many goals.

Former Newcastle forward Quinn says that he felt sorry for Rondon as he did not get enough chances to score.

The 28-year-old striker has been on the books of West Brom since the summer of 2015 when he joined from Zenit Saint Petersburg for a transfer fee reported by Eurosport to be worth £12 million.

Rondon scored nine goals in the Premier League in 2015-16 and eight in 2016-17, and has found the net just once in seven league starts so far this season.

Quinn said on The Alan Brazil Sports Breakfast show on talkSPORT on Thursday morning (08:15am, November 23, 2017): “I felt so sorry for Rondon.

“In the games he was playing upfront on his own, working his socks off, isolated, trying to hold the ball up, not getting many chances in regards of scoring.”
