I think, if it were a 2 in the middle, Bannan also becomes a liability. He can be a real catalyst for us in midfield, but he will never fit in a 2 man midfield Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It might work against the likes of Northampton and Lincoln, but we won’t make much headway against the better sides If the pace comes from out wide and Fletcher and Rhodes bog line, then we are laughing! As for a plan for Jordan Rhodes, this is Sheffield Wednesday - we don't have a plan full stop! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Night King Posted July 22, 2019 Share Posted July 22, 2019 If we can sell 2 of Foresteri, Winnall and Joao then I’d definitely keep Rhodes. He could have a decent season with better supply playing to his strength. If we can get 5 or 6 million for Winnall & Joao combined or a decent fee for Forestieri (who’ll leave for free next summer) and get them off the wage bill it’d be worth persevering with Rhodes. If we can’t do a deal for those 3 then Rhodes will have to go. We’ve got to do something other wise we’ll be in the exact same situation regarding FFP.

His goal scoring form can now can only Increase the interest in him and potentially increase his value....or help us next season. This may well force Norwich to make a more realistic offer I'd rather keep someone quick, powerful, tall with a venomous shot from distance vs someone slow, weak, 5 ft 11. If they're both going to start from bench (history of Rhodes season and a half with us tells us he won't hold a starting place and probably neither would Joao) I'd rather have someone who can change the game on their own and who will stretch the game vs someone who may be relying on others for a guilt edged chance. It's just tactics. Rhodes needs chances, Joao can explode one from 25 yards, or cut inside 2 and score. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Didn't realise FF was out of contract in 12 months time. In that case I would be trying to offload him while we can still get a decent fee. I do get the impression that he will wind his contract down and walk away as I think he and his agent will be looking to cash in as a free agent.

asteener1867 Posted July 22, 2019 Share Posted July 22, 2019 (edited) I dunno whether anyone else is of the same mind, and I respect everyones opinion on Rhodes, FF, fletcher, Joao, Winnal...Nuhiu but I can't make me mind up... Apart from maybe Fletcher, I don't entirely trust any of the others... Nuhiu is total marmite.. Joao..."God if we sell him and he starts firing?" Rhodes....Same as above.. Winnall...Simply doesn't seem to have it..but f.ookinell..."What if...(same as above) FF?..well its the same scenario isn't it? I reckon the best couple to partner Fletcher.... Joao to me is probably a bigger enigma than any of 'em... You can see he has it in him...one on ones...cool as f.ook....can hit a ball like a missile...but....20 step over, drag backs...that rolling it wiv his studs thingy.,.,.then... nowt! Its frustrating..Cos you can see him going somewhere else...a manager saying..."Stop it wiv the rollin' stud stepovers"!!! all of a sudden he's Harry Kane! See?? Thats the situation....the whole post sums up me frustration.... i could have posted.... "dunno" Edited July 22, 2019 by asteener1867 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

big oz Posted July 22, 2019 Share Posted July 22, 2019 its the wide players who need pace central strikers need to be able to time thier runs to get on the end of crosses like rhodes and fletcher have been doing Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Yes, the wide players might have pace, but how many goals does Harris score? About the same as Palmer I reckon Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Herb Posted July 23, 2019 Share Posted July 23, 2019 Would be a bit disappointed to move Rhodes on now having started him so frequently in pre season. Would have been better off getting Joao or Winnall more minutes in ‘the stronger squad’. Also will never understand the obsession with the starting 11. He may start as sub at Reading and still be the key man against Barnsley at home. Very few teams can stick rigidly to 11-14 players. There has to be a squad and some rotation. He can be right for one game and not right for the next. We need balance and we need the depth, only move bodies on if we’ve got someone lined up.
