RichSheffWeds Posted May 18, 2017 Share Posted May 18, 2017 We have to keep within FFP rules and have been spending some significant money on fees and salaries. So if you had to choose which of these would it be ? Option one Fletcher Hooper Forestieri Winnall Rhodes Option two Fletcher Hooper Forestieri Winnall Pulled out of signing Rhodes (assuming that's possible) and buy : £5m centre half £5m right winger (both with sell on potential) What would you do?

Mr Farrell Posted May 18, 2017 Share Posted May 18, 2017 Once you put it in, pulling out isn't an option. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Bluesteel Posted May 18, 2017 Share Posted May 18, 2017 I get the impression Rhodes is a done deal. Sign Bartley from Swansea (contract up?) and look for some strong and quick midfielders within whatever budget we have and then play them. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
owls101 Posted May 18, 2017 Share Posted May 18, 2017 Rhodes is ours. Done deal. I'll go for option 3: play a system that gets the best out of the most prolific goalscorer in the football league Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
WayneTheOwl Posted May 18, 2017 Share Posted May 18, 2017 Rhodes will get 20+ next season under the right manager and with a couple of players in the side what know how to cross a ball or pick a killer pass. Simple as. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
i used to be sc_owl Posted May 18, 2017 Share Posted May 18, 2017 Don't think we can cancel and if we did it would be the most messed up thing we could possibly do. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Simple as. Yep spot on people say Rhodes can't play as a lone striker but I'd bet he'd even score more goals in that Huddersfield team last night than in ours We have some of the best strikers in the league, but we have the same creativity as Rotherham. In fact I think Rotherham created more chances when we played them recently money needs to be spent to solve the creativity in midfield Alan Shearer says as a striker he wanted 3-4 chances a game to score. He would love playing in our team this season Edited May 18, 2017 by Southie_Owl Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

We need wingers and a cb or two. Possibly another full back. In any event we need a streamline of the squad. We need a strong, consistent starting 11 with suitable replacements who can step in for resting and injuries. For me 2 of bannan, hutch, abdi, or lee play in the middle or 3 if we operate a 4 5 1. We need to stop forcing players in for the sake of it. And I qould say we are verybwell covered in the midfield area. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Im just tired of seeing teams with energy and strength preventing us from playing Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
BartonOwl Posted May 18, 2017 Share Posted May 18, 2017 Rhodes and Winnal thrive and score goals from crossing the ball, they will score for fun if we can adapt to play this type of football. For me we need a new CB or move Hutch back and replace him in the middle and two new full backs. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Simple as. No chance, won't get enough game time. Not good enough, he's 3rd choice at minute but Winnall offers more and that'll likely be reflected next season It's like McGugan all over again, fans clamouring for the deal when the reality is he isn't good enough Edited May 18, 2017 by Ash76 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Appreciate the stats are lower this season under Carlos which kind of sums it up for me. Your telling me he isn't good enough? Really..........

Option One. We'll add to the squad in the summer and move out a chunk of players not in the same league as Jordan Rhodes - that will release funds for the investment. Best of both world. Job done!

BRADDO Posted May 18, 2017 Share Posted May 18, 2017 I think it's possible Fessi will be sold to avoid looming FFP issues and reinvest some of his fee in signings. Also ship out some deadwood Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest Ash76 Posted May 18, 2017 Share Posted May 18, 2017 Yup, I have eyes and I use them to assess a players performances and not look over their stats. Seeing as you've posted his stats I believe the best we will get from him will be what he delivered for Middlesbrough. I've not come to this viewpoint since he arrived, I never wanted him off then back of what I've seen from him previously, specifically for Boro. His performances for us are very similar, no pace, doesn't work hard enough, first touch isn't consistent, no relationships with teammates. His positives are his strength, decent in air but last night poor and he takes up some good positions but the latter is the minimum you'd expect from a striker. I called the McGugan signing as a bad one, this will be the same Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

His record at this level ain't even the best of our current strikers. Look at his record the last 2 years, poor.
