Depends on if we can supply what he thrives on,in the past we havent,hes got goals in him,will he fit into how we want to play going foreward I think he may well do,but he needs to find his touch and quickly to douse the doubters many of whom have already made their mind up,could prove an asset in a side that gets the ball foreward more quickly. If Norwich are backtracking on an agreement,id say stuff em and keep him,if Bruce agrees,but if they offer us the agreed fee then all well and good,he moves on we lower the wage bill and look elswhere Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Sounds like the only way you think Jordan Rhodes can thrive is if chances are put on a plate for him , well the game has moved on and strikers need to be contributing more I believe . He has moved his family down Norfolk , he is happy down there , let him go we have enough strikers as it is , his fee and wages don’t warrant the risk of keeping him , Hope I’m wrong but I doubt it .

If he's still a Wednesday player, then let's hope his form continues next season, as a goal every 168 minutes of Championship football could make all the difference to our chances.

If we use him in the way Norwich use him, off the bench for the last 10 minutes. He’s too much of a liability to start games, unless we are playing a lower division team Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Ideally yes, they seem to have found the perfect role for him. I’ve always said it, if we use him in the way ALF was used by Reading, there would be a place for him at Hillsborough Was it worth paying that sort of money just to have a player like that on the bench? Definitely not, but what’s done is done, we either sell him, or find a way of utilising him Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
