Pod9 Posted August 20, 2017 Share Posted August 20, 2017 (edited) We should just send this photo in response to ANY offer for ANY of our players from Leeds. Edited August 20, 2017 by Pod9 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Saxondale Posted August 20, 2017 Share Posted August 20, 2017 The only concerning thing here is that I believe Nixon has got links to Rhodes, I think they got quite close during his time at Blackburn. He seems to think that we are open to selling him. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
horny owl Posted August 20, 2017 Share Posted August 20, 2017 (edited) Just about any move would be great for Rhodes because we'll never get the best out of him Id be pi$$ed off if he went to Leeds though Edited August 20, 2017 by horny owl Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Bing Cosby Posted August 20, 2017 Share Posted August 20, 2017 While Jordan Rhodes' goalscoring record is always going to draw interest from other clubs; considering he's only been here a relatively short time and showed indifferent form, I think it's strange that their seems to be so many stories about potential transfers. Clearly either the player wants a move, or the club are trying their best to flog him. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
poite Posted August 20, 2017 Share Posted August 20, 2017 Selling Rhodes but keeping Forestieri. Sickening Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Orlando_Trustful Posted August 20, 2017 Share Posted August 20, 2017 If we can recoup the supposed fee we paid then it is a no brainer for me. It hasn't worked out for Rhodes here and that money could be used very wisely. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
alanharper Posted August 20, 2017 Share Posted August 20, 2017 31 minutes ago, Mr Farrell said: Why on earth would you want to guarantee a play off rival 20 goals a season ? Well that's 10 goals fewer than the player he'd be replacing bagged last season! I like Rhodes and I desperately hope he does well here, but the facts are that he's struggling to score in our playing style and despite his reputation for "guaranteed goals" his record has waned in recent seasons, he hasn't had the "goal every other game" average that he used to guarantee for his last 3 seasons. Plus he'd bring in a decent fee and free up a lot of wages. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ironman Posted August 20, 2017 Share Posted August 20, 2017 Mad to sell him to them. Or Winnall for that matter. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Rentaghost Posted August 20, 2017 Share Posted August 20, 2017 personally get rid of him. Hes been the most hyped yet most disappointing signing we have ever made. We have hooper, fletch, winnel and big Dave can do a job. Plus it's obvious we are at the limit of ffp. If we can bully Leeds over the fee (with them just having got 15m + for woods) try make a profit on him. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Owlsend Posted August 20, 2017 Share Posted August 20, 2017 rather be stuck £10 million man never scoring a goal I'm living off the Sheffield Wednesday for the rest of his career than selling to Leeds Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Lomas613 Posted August 20, 2017 Share Posted August 20, 2017 1. Asif we've just bought him ourselves 2. Asif we'd sell to another champ team 3. Asif we'd sell to a promotion rival 4. Asif we'd help Leeds out haha bollacks Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest wilyfox Posted August 20, 2017 Share Posted August 20, 2017 My opinion about Rhodes depends on how Carlos wants to play. Flat 4-4-2, keep Rhodes and get some pace and quality outwide. Midfield diamond, we need someone more dynamic than Rhodes up top. Carlos seems torn between the two, which means players are in and out struggling for form and rhythm.

gurujuan Posted August 20, 2017 Share Posted August 20, 2017 I don't know why we signed him in the first place, especially as his signing appears to have put us in FFP jeopardy. The main reason I was anti his signing was, he didn't look right for the way we play. Nothing I've seen so far has made me change my mind. Should he be sold? Well that depends on how Carlos sets us up going forward. There's been a lot of talk about us playing a more attacking style, which may suit, not only Rhodes, but all of our forwards. However, I'd have to say that, despite the talk, there's not been too much evidence of this new attacking style. It's early days of course, and if there is to be a change of tack which might benefit our front players, then we should keep him. If though, that's just bluster, then perhaps we should sell and use the money to bring in the type of players who can help perfect our more cagey style.

I can't find it but Rhodes was quoted saying our style of play suited him (the first season of CC) however cc turned stubborn and changed this way in his second season. This is his third and bannan has been quoted saying they want to find a happy medium so I do think Rhodes will do well this year when it all starts snowballing and getting better confidence hopefully now we've got the 3 points.

Guest BULGARIA Posted August 20, 2017 Share Posted August 20, 2017 cant see Rhodes moving on. As much as i would think he is frustrated with his time at swfc, surely his agent and his own mind will be telling him that 2 failed moves within the past 2 years would be bad for his image and value. Having said that, i personally think it was a rash move to buy him, not a go at Rhodes, but our style of play Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

londonowl Posted August 20, 2017 Share Posted August 20, 2017 Clearly a simple case of Journos looking for a story. Leeds have money and need a striker so they look around, find a striker who looks a bit out of favour and they've got themselves a 'rumour' to fill the pages.

just visiting Posted August 20, 2017 Share Posted August 20, 2017 1 hour ago, TheEnchanter said: Lasogga linked isn't he. Rhodes is a completely different style of forward as well. I think you'll be after a big unit like wood who's also mobile. We may not even replace him like for like. The managers preferred system is 4-3-3, for that reason I think we may be looking for an attacking left sided player. FF would fit that system perfectly. Forestieri Saiz Aloiski As a front three would make me very happy. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

He'd definitely thrive on that system and it's nice to know you suddenly rate him again Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
