Guest Arcadianrocket Posted May 26, 2018 Share Posted May 26, 2018 It has often been said that the chairman made this signing because we as fans demanded it. I agree that a lot of fans had wanted to sign him. It made me think had the club asked us as fans who we wanted to sign for the amount paid and did a poll - who do do you think at the time many of us would have asked for?

S36 OWL Posted May 26, 2018 Share Posted May 26, 2018 Every signing comes with a degree of uncertainty . Rhodes hasnt paid off so far. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
torres Posted May 26, 2018 Share Posted May 26, 2018 I’d say it was 50-50 with the fan base on his signing I definitely wasn’t on my own with being very fearful of getting him in - or even needing him Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
The Night-Owl Posted May 26, 2018 Share Posted May 26, 2018 Think some of us at the time were saying we needed to strengthen other areas of the team rather than bringing in another striker. In particular a commanding ball playing centre back or a midfield beast. Quite a few of us were saying we needed pace and power after the play off final, and were saying it back then, since and still saying it now.

gurujuan Posted May 26, 2018 Share Posted May 26, 2018 I think it was all about the timing really Even I would have taken Rhodes 5 years ago Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

We needed to strengthen other areas of the team. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest Arcadianrocket Posted May 26, 2018 Share Posted May 26, 2018 For me at the time we needed a center back and I had hoped for James Chester. Chester and Lees with Loovens as back up would have been good. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Holmowl Posted May 26, 2018 Share Posted May 26, 2018 90% of us would have said Rhodes. Just look back at those numerous massive threads. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

briggowl Posted May 26, 2018 Share Posted May 26, 2018 I don't get where this 'Fans wanted him' came from. I for one mocked Boro for splashing out £10m the year before. Poor signing but given that we already had 6 strikers on our books and only ever played 2 at a time it was a terrible signing. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
bigash_swfc Posted May 26, 2018 Share Posted May 26, 2018 If we could sign one player, that would make me renew tomorrow. It would be......... Alex Lopez. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
