Will Leeds United sign Sheffield Wednesday striker Jordan Rhodes?


Recommended Posts

If it’s not in our interests to sell him, because of FFP, then a loan move to Leeds would be the next best thing

We just have to hope there is a club out there as stupid as us, and with deep pockets What a friggin mess

Has to play in a team with wingers not 2 of the worst wingbacks in the the division.

 

Not rocket science.

 

Ben10 would have been ideal.

Absolutely, I would have loved him back with us.

Good move for all parties. I'd rather have the guy they have on loan, Lasogga. Power, presence, and Luhukay managed him before. 

But Lasogga is crap... We already have guy up top with power and presence... and some would say also crap.

My understanding of the FFP debacle is that if we sell him, it makes our financial position worse as, the balance of the amortised fee paid to Boro will become due immediately, thereby right royally shatting all over our precarious FFP situation.

 

It's a mess

 

That sounds like it might be so. We need to get about 3/4 of what we paid and we then have the benefit of getting his wages off the books

Not sure.

 

you know Carlos was right about Rhodes. He runs around too much. If he is the lethal finisher he used to be, then he needs to run less and have someone next to him who can stretch a defence. Joao is probably the only one who can. Otherwise too easy to march Rhodes up to the half way line where he is totally ineffective.

 

I would give him the rest of this season off and send him to some sort of wellness and spiritual place with some hard core fitness thrown in. Go put some beads round his neck and get him doing yoga and get his head right.

then come back in July and give him til January to see if he can still do it.

Can I go to this place you talk of instead , I need to up my fitness and well being levels , beads are good !! :ph34r:

I think all this stuff about the game moving on is rubbish. It’s a combo of Rhodes losing confidence, being played as the link man and us not creating as many chances as we possibly could.

 

When we have created chances he hasn’t been as lethal as we’d hoped, in some cases he has missed some easy ones. So as much of this is on JR as anyone else. But I can’t help thinking that he will go on and do well somewhere else.

They apparently didn't get on...

 

Is that so? I didn't know that. Where'd you hear that?

Stop making excuses for the bloke , whatever he had in the past has gone , the game has moved on and Jordan hasn't I'm afraid , get shut

 

I am afraid that I agree. Really wish I didn't but even when he has had chances he has fluffed them, ducked out of headers etc. He now goes hiding behind markers and doesn't gamble on mistakes.

So it seems we should have bought 2 wingers who can cross the ball to Rhodes for him to tap or head into the net !!! Gets more expensive , bit like an entourage kind of thing . Record signing , record flop !!! Can’t believe we shelled out so much money for him . What research was done on his style of play , his form etc ?
