I am not convinced we spent that much on him TBH? This season's a big one for him. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I've seen a striker low on confidence when he joined have what little confidence he did have kicked out of him by a clueless manager. I've seen the best striker this division has seen in recent years have to change his game to fit in with the style of said clueless manager. I've seen a striker completely broken but I have faith Jos is the man to return Rhodes to the striker we all know he is given a good pre season. He did it with Dave he can sure as hell do it with Rhodes. Edited July 6, 2018 by Blue and white Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I heard Birmingham City had to give Sam Gallagher a pay rise on his parent deal to get him to move so there must be all sorts of factors. Roger Johnson took a pay cut to come here. We will no doubt get some kind of fee, if we can shift a decent percentage of his wage that will be a bigger saving in FFP terms. Roger Johnson was getting paid ? 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I want him playing for Sheffield Wednesday, not sold off or loaned out to our rivals. We're happy to let him go because irrespective of how much he cost, his goal return is poor. Goals per game, he is clearly lagging behind every other striker on the books.Slow and weak, not what we expected when he signed, not what we need for the future.

NeonLeon Posted July 6, 2018 Share Posted July 6, 2018 Gotta be careful not to jump the gun too soon and panic. Obviously it’s not great if alot of our business hinges on Rhodes leaving, but you’d be naive to think this isn’t/wasn’t gunna drag on right up until the start of the season.

steelcityowlsfan Posted July 6, 2018 Share Posted July 6, 2018 Might have to keep him till January and then loan him and sell Winnall. You never know he might get off to a decent start and become the Rhodes we remember from his Huddersfield and Blackburn days. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The Night-Owl Posted July 6, 2018 Share Posted July 6, 2018 Hopefully someone else will show an interest. Maybe Derby if they lose more players, Ipswich or Rangers, if it was true about their interest? However if we can't get him out, he should just knuckle down and be more determined to prove us wrong, and try and impress Jos. One way or another he needs to repay the club, the best way to do that is to knuckle down and get his sharpness back, whether he gets a move or not.

OWLERTON GHOST Posted July 6, 2018 Share Posted July 6, 2018 He's a really nice bloke ... But this is serious stuff .. Unless tactically Jos Lukhay Has completely changed the way our team plays to accommodate a goal hanging striker then its get rid time .. Been around the block too many times now this discussion it's sink or swim? Jo Brand or Mark Spitz You decide ? .......... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
