In saying that I don't think he's a player who can score a goal out of nothing. He's a player who comes alive in the 18 yard box, lives off good service. Unfortunately I don't think we have been anywhere near out best creatively this season. Why it is imperative that we hang onto FF and try and bring in other players who can provide service.

I think even Matchday might be a bit beyond you tbh. Why do you feel the need to constantly call people names and insult them? Do you get bullied in real life and this is your relief from reality?

As you know, putting it lightly, I like my stats Couldn't sleep a couple of nights ago, so I did some number crunching (oo-er). Turns out, shot for shot, Scott Hogan is more clinical this season than Jordan Rhodes was during his last full season at Blackburn (with Gestede pairing him) where he got 21 in 40 starts.

Guest domSWFC Posted January 2, 2017 Share Posted January 2, 2017 What would everyone prefer..? 1. We sign Rhodes 2. We have Owlstalk. If he signs, it's definitely gonna break Owlstalk, and all of our lives will feel empty. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

"once negotiations have been concluded, with all parties in agreement of documented clauses and sub-clauses, and with registration details filed at Football League HQ, alongside confirmation that a contract has been completed, and signed by the respective player, else an agent acting on behalf of said player, then an announcement regarding the signing of the player, can be made public, but not prior to F.Spiksley having had his tea, or alternatively his dinner, should the term southern, shandy-drinking person of undeclared sexuality apply" Brilliant.

Villa trying to get him on the cheap, using Gestede as leverage. Derby offloading several players to create manouvrebility in the market, and being linked most strongly now as a leading contender, although earlier reports suggested neither were interested Meantime, we're being linked with Nugent, Jerome Sinclair (on loan), and Nakhi Wells. Which might suggest we've accepted any forage into the market for a striker, ought not to rely upon JR becoming available. I wish people wouldn't start these threads.

Guest wilyfox Posted January 2, 2017 Share Posted January 2, 2017 So, what you're basically saying, Owlsman, is that Rhodes is in the bag. That's great news buddy. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
