Thing is, we're probably the perfect club to offload him to- but the mad Dr wouldn't sell us their 3rd choice left back, so surely he won't let us have RMc, will he?! They will still fancy they can close a 9 point gap over the next 19 games. With Bruce outing RM publicly I doubt any team would take a punt on him especially with the wages he's on, I think the're stuck with him. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Agreed, I can understand Bruce's anger with RM but publicly outing him will have greatly reduced the chances of anyone coming in for him & probably reduced the fee they'll get for him by about £3m or £4m.

GMOwl72 Posted January 22, 2017 Share Posted January 22, 2017 £9m for Rhodes stinks of desperation. Can't see it but it gets you thinking who is actually identifying and signing players at Hillsborough? It's quite clear it's not Carlos given the players brought in. He's officially Head Coach and it's looking more and more that he simply picks the team from the players he's given. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Mr C is such a bad chairman then, giving his manager the best striker in the division. How dare he do this. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Fessi isnt an out and out striker. Attacking left midfield where he played last season. You make it sound so simple. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

But thats the thing a £9m Rhodes in my view isn't the final piece of the jig saw. Far from it. Better players needed in other key areas. surely it's the role of the coach to determine who he wants and the chairman to back him? cant see Carlos having gone to Chansiri and said get me Buckley, Winnall, Jones, Fox and I'll get you promoted.

We won't score goals if FF is part of a two man attack, that's not my opinion, that's fact based on past experience. That's your opinion based on past events.

GMOwl72 Posted January 22, 2017 Share Posted January 22, 2017 Don't think anyone would not like Rhodes but many not bothered at £9m when the team needs strengthening all round. Its just ludicrous - Nuhiu, Joao, Bus, Hooper, Fessi, Fletcher, Winnall... Ok let's now try Rhodes. Maybe we need to focus on players that can improve the general quality of play and service to the front men whoever they may be. (Unless Rhodes is the tip of the iceberg and we have another £10m to spend!) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The knock on effect of us getting him is you either play him and FF up front, or him and Hooper or him and Winnall. If you do, where does FF play, because you are not leaving him out of the starting line up. If we are to match Boro's asking price, surely it would be more prudent to try and invest in a CB and CM, where we are light in replacements, rather than bringing in another striker, taking our strikers upto 7 in total. I agree, he is not what we need. A decent RB, CM and a winger would be what I was looking for. Not creating enough is the main problem. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Fulham want him on loan, he's probably angling to get back there. Villa may then look for a similar deal with Rhodes. I suppose Fulham might buy for a big discount, depends on their financial situation. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Who knows...maybe Pudil's Brighton performance was the last straw and CC is now thinking of Reach at LB with Fox as back up, FF on the LW and our strikers will be a pick of Winnall, Fletch, Hoops and Rhodes. *shrug* Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Plonk Posted January 22, 2017 Share Posted January 22, 2017 I really hope we don't sign him cus I'm a bit skint at the moment. Between jobs and a bit short. What do you mean I don't have to buy him? Mr C is going to pay for it? Really? Oh sorry because reading this I thought I was going to have to. Ok let's get him then Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ruusowl Posted January 23, 2017 Share Posted January 23, 2017 (edited) Yep, I say go for it. The rest of the team is more of a concern but assuming the boss man can afford it then we should buy players like this when they become available. The chances don't come around very often.

No you're not the only one matey, think there is quite a few of us who could find a lot of reasons not to without even touching the money box. Must say looks like the club are still interested if so hope they play hardball on loan fee only. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
