i used to be sc_owl Posted December 22, 2018 Share Posted December 22, 2018 For years I hoped we would sign Rhodes. It just seemed like a perfect fit. He was ruined by Carlos though. The optimist in me thinks that he should have another chance here, under a manager who would know how to get the best from him. However, I think it’s more likely he will be gone in the summer or maybe even January. I know he’s on loan but if Norwich want to tie the deal up, or even cancel the loan early, who knows?

Bluesteel Posted December 22, 2018 Share Posted December 22, 2018 In an ideal world yes. But I think Winnall will give us more. Rhodes will be on the FFP hit list Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

np pontefract Posted December 22, 2018 Share Posted December 22, 2018 I would love to see Jordan Rhodes back at Hillsborough, spearheading a team with genuine attacking intent. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Sgt Wednesday Posted December 22, 2018 Share Posted December 22, 2018 Jordan is an old school poacher, he will always score goals. The issue why he's never played higher is because of his contribution out of possession and his work on the half way line. He lacks pace, he very rarely runs away from people. If I was Jordans manager I would be telling him to play to his strengths and improve them, for example, get in the gym and put on about 2 stone of muscle. That would allow him to compete with CBs and be even more dangerous in the area, he can still be a decent number 9. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Jim Posted December 23, 2018 Share Posted December 23, 2018 I think Bruce would look to play to his strengths. He’s always played pacy wingers or someone in the middle who can play strikers in. I think within 18 months our current side and the way we play will be vastly different to now? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

LiamK2292 Posted December 23, 2018 Share Posted December 23, 2018 Said at the time, he wasn't what we needed and we're FFP turmoil because of it. Add to the fact he hasn't performed anywhere near his standards. Regarding his future, I think it depends on what we do with Hooper in the summer.

legendaryswan Posted December 23, 2018 Share Posted December 23, 2018 We got dry bummed by boro,Rhodes is a pony these days,we could really do with offing him,wel take a massive hit,its one of DCs worst decisions shelling out all our eggs for a striker whos best days were yonks ago @ Hudders when he was much younger,Fletchers another poor deal,has to be nursed through a season for 28K a week and still has a year left,christ Joao will be pushing around the pitch in his wheelchair,we did some VVank deals under CC Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

P Aye, wingers putting balls in the box & quick passing moves playing the strikers in behind the defence were a hallmark of CC’s last year in charge weren’t they? More often than not it was Rhodes isolated up top running after lost causes or having to drop back into his own half to get a touch. Carlos seemed to begrudge his signing & was either too paranoid & defensive or too convinced by his own tactical genius to play the type of football real goal poachers thrive on. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
