Yes, those of us who are still annoyed at paying 8 million quid for a player we didn't need and no bugger else is even willing to give us half of that back for him. All this despite us making it obvious we wanted to sell him. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
stocksyuto Posted August 8, 2019 Share Posted August 8, 2019 (edited) He'll be a sub most games now Joao has gone and he should get a few starts when fletcher looks like hes breaking down . Be interesting to see what he can do now with the players we brought in Edited August 8, 2019 by stocksyuto Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

We've made perfect signings to play to his strengths. Finally we have pace to get down the flanks, put that ball in the box and let him do what he does. I don't think there is any owl who doesn't want this guy to succeed. Let's get behind him, make him feel wanted and watch him tear up this league like he has so many times before. He could be as good as any new signing. UTO Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

He has been absolutely hopeless since he signed here. If playing to his strengths is somehow engineering 1’yard open goals for him to stick away then I would rather have Nuhiu up there who at least offers something else. We put plenty in the box for him before and he did absolutely nothing with it. We even put the ball on the penalty spot for him, cleared all the other players out of the box and gave him as long a run up as he wanted and he failed with that. To then bottle a pen vs hudds, our all time record signing and star striker, Carlos should have put the nut on him there and then. You were saying? 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Bouncing Owl Posted August 8, 2019 Share Posted August 8, 2019 I’m not his biggest fan but totally agree with the OP. Let’s all get behind him and see what he can do. 2 strikers have gone and he will now get more game time. It’s a more healthy competition for places up front.

pazowl55 Posted August 8, 2019 Share Posted August 8, 2019 (edited) Luongo going to be the key to Rhodes. May mean we can actually play a way that may suit him and us. Edited August 8, 2019 by pazowl55 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

He might even get the 20 goals we need from a striker to get us in the promotion mix. I really can't see any benefit to the club in Rhodes failing. We've bought him better he does well surely. If he fails we can't get an offer for him, he sees out his contract and we pay his wages until then, he becomes a bit part player or consigned to the U23. How is that to anyones advantage?

Holmowl Posted August 8, 2019 Share Posted August 8, 2019 Harris gets to the bye-line (Christ he’s quick) we’ll. He pulled a lovely ball back for Fletch on Saturday. I think Jordan will absolutely thrive on this. His timing and positional sense is outstanding, and we know he can finish. I think Fletch and Rhodes will love the service from Harris, Reach, Murphy and FF. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Suzuki_San Posted August 8, 2019 Share Posted August 8, 2019 4-3-3 - Fletch or Nuhiu up front. 4-4-2 - Fletch & Rhodes. Easy this football manager lark. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I so hope that those on Owlstalk who have done nothing but talk about selling Jordan Rhodes and repeatedly tell us that he is no good as a goal scorer, are made to eat their own words, in a highly Humiliating manner.
