Bluesteel Posted May 29, 2019 Share Posted May 29, 2019 1 hour ago, Lawrie Madden said: How has he had a raw deal ? Surely he has make it impossible for the manager not to pick him the responsibility is his He certainly hasn't done anything i've seen to make me say wow we have to play him When he first joined he scored goals against Birmingham, Barnsley, Fulham and then got dropped and didn’t feature in the following games. The following season in one of his sole appearances he scored against qpr and then ended up being touted around for a move. Been injured since then. He moved off a good spell at Barnsley but hasn’t really been given a run whether he did well or not. Mainly due to how much Rhodes cost. Its suggested on here he is a difficult character though so perhaps there are other factors. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Not an easy guy to like if the rumours are accurate. Yeah I’ve heard a few stories myself Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
modboy Posted May 29, 2019 Share Posted May 29, 2019 Big contract = lack of teams that can afford him eg Barnsley Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
The Dukeries Owl Posted May 29, 2019 Share Posted May 29, 2019 Thinks a lot more of himself than most good judges of personality and talent do. Runs around a bit. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Bathgate Posted May 29, 2019 Share Posted May 29, 2019 I'm hoping IF Rhodes goes then winnall and fletch might be a decent partnership next season Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Must be every fickin' topic. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
AwokenGiant Posted May 29, 2019 Share Posted May 29, 2019 Some was writing Palmer off last summer/season - pre-season is a long time in football, especially for someone who’s been out with injury for the majority of the last 12 months. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

WalthamOwl Posted May 29, 2019 Share Posted May 29, 2019 I like him. Still think he has something to offer us. Hope he gets a chance but from what has happened since Bruce came in with not really giving him a chance I think he will be off. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

He ran around a lot when he scored at Oakwell. He ran to the Barnsley fans, even when he scored for us. Needs to go. Needs to grow up. Hopefully we'll get our money back.

james o connor Posted May 29, 2019 Share Posted May 29, 2019 I would have given him a go rather than a fat crock like hooper . He knows where the net is and is still fairly young Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Blatter Posted May 29, 2019 Share Posted May 29, 2019 In the few times I’ve seen him he’s looked very ordinary. Tough, works hard and prepared to put his head where it hurts. But hasn’t got the pace of Joa, the skill of Forestieri, the physicality of Fletcher or the strength of Nuhiu. Be nice to be proved wrong but don’t really see a future for him at Hillsborough.

Personally, if Bruce wants to play a high press, I think Fletch, FF, and Winnall are better suited than Rhodes, Nuhiu, or Joao. I know people don't expect striker signings because we have so many, but I think there needs to be ins & outs in that area.

TomtheOwl95 Posted May 29, 2019 Share Posted May 29, 2019 As others have said if Bruce fancied him he'd have used him more. He doesn't really fit into how Bruce's teams tend to play. Reminds me of Scott Hogan who Bruce had at Villa and didn't really use. If we can get a decent fee, let him go. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
19owl08 Posted May 29, 2019 Share Posted May 29, 2019 1 hour ago, gurujuan said: It was pretty obvious he wasn’t good enough at this level Anybody who actually took the trouble to watch him, could see he didn’t have the basic skills Makes you wonder what our scouts actually know about football, that January window was an absolute farce Pretty ridiculous comment to say he isn’t good enough at this level. Since he started playing in the championship he has scored 21 goals in 63 appearances. Out of those 63 appearances, 25 were as a sub. So at worst it’s 1 goal every 3 games, it’s a decent return & shows he is good enough. He’s a goalscorer & showed at Barnsley if he is your focal point upfront he will score. But we don’t play to that system. In comparison: Joao has scored 28 goals in 127 appearances (67 were as a sub) so 1 goal every 4.5 games Fletcher 24 in 99 (30 as sub) so 1 goal every 4.1 games Forestieri 38 in 111 (25 as sub) so 1 goal every 2.9 games Nuhiu 34 in 208 (100 as sub) so 1 goal in every 6.1 games Hooper 30 in 85 (17 as sub) so 1 goal in every 2.8 games Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
