Shetland Owl Posted January 10, 2019 Share Posted January 10, 2019 Although we know Rhodes cannot return this season do you think Bruce will want him back for next Season? Bruce tried to sign Rhodes at Villa and providing we get some players who can cross could he be a success?, this time round 2 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

notts0wl Posted January 10, 2019 Share Posted January 10, 2019 (edited) No, 5 goals in last 24 games.. He's never shown anywhere near the right potential.. time to move on and forget about that waste of money.

Lord Snooty Posted January 10, 2019 Share Posted January 10, 2019 I doubt in my heart the lad has any long term future here. I thought that before we signed him to be honest and that was a thought only strengthened after he arrived. That said... The future is unwritten. For all we know Bruce might think he's a useful lad to have on the squad. He'd certainly look more of a threat the way we have played more recently since we have ditched the "100 passes across our back four while the opposition retreats and regains their defensive shape" approach which has haunted much of the last two years. We'll just have to wait and see... 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

bigash_swfc Posted January 10, 2019 Share Posted January 10, 2019 With them crosses Fox puts in the box, he'd have a field day every game, maybe not so much Palmers crosses. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

TomtheOwl95 Posted January 10, 2019 Share Posted January 10, 2019 I think Bruce will want him back, at the very least to have a look at him in pre season and asses it from there. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

legendaryswan Posted January 11, 2019 Share Posted January 11, 2019 Alas JRs best days are well behind him,boro had our knickers down,lets hope its a lesson learned.Hopefully he can seal a perm move to Norwich,wel take a massive hit on the fee. We could have speculated on some non league kid or an in form lower league marksman and saved a fortune.Rhodes was down to Carlos Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Adthe has a much better goal scoring record, holds up the ball very well and adds something different, chuck him on when your 2-1 on to run down the clock or whatever. Not to mention he will be on peanuts comparatively... 1 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Anyway, How is he going to get a permanent move to Norwich? No chance. If we had have took a gamble on a lower league player fans would still moan we never spent money if they knew money was available. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
SupremeOwl Posted January 11, 2019 Share Posted January 11, 2019 He's an arm around the shoulder kind of player. He needs confidence instilling back into him, something I don't believe our two previous managers, nor karanka at Boro, we're good at. Had he been at Cardiff under Colin, I believe he would have been much better due to his almost insane man management skills. He could come good under Bruce as I feel he is a far superior man manager than anyone we've had for a long time, but time will tell. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
