quinnssweetshop Posted August 29, 2019 Share Posted August 29, 2019 Jordan Rhodes...... stealing a wage Someone needs to give him a kick up the arse and tell him how he's destroying his own career. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Hamakua Pueo Posted August 29, 2019 Share Posted August 29, 2019 Maybe loan him to Bolton? Might do wonders for his confidence if he was seen as instrumental in keeping them up. Have to pay most of his wages ourselves, but we are doing that anyway, and didn't Bolton loan us Stu Holden while covering all his wages during the Dave Jones era?

I’m not saying you’re wrong but in what way has he been bullied? Or was it himself that hinted it during a Norwich interview? I can’t remember. Must be a crap feeling in that environment if you don’t fit in. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

But there'll still be people repeating their strange belief that if we give him a run in the team and play to his strengths (whatever they may be because I don't know) he'll suddenly regain his form from 5 years ago. I remember the exact same things being said about Franny Jeffers a few years ago ! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Bluesteel Posted August 29, 2019 Share Posted August 29, 2019 7 hours ago, Owls2k said: Completely true, instead that comment had him vilified for Carlos' poor tactics all summer. Pass the buck, Carlos was great at it and still some people can't see it, it's quite incredible. Rhodes was poor in that playoff and it was the missed penalty at Leeds he has not recovered from Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
McRightSide Posted August 29, 2019 Share Posted August 29, 2019 Did he miss any sitters tonight? That’s customary for him as part of these poor performances. Although, apparently the service is the problem Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

gurujuan Posted August 29, 2019 Share Posted August 29, 2019 Not just based on last nights performances, but I’ve long been convinced that Rhodes and Winnall give us very little. The whole thing about us having an embarrassment of riches, when it comes to the striking department, is a complete myth. The reality is, we have 5 strikers, in terms of numbers, probably par for the course at most championship clubs, but very little by way of quality. Fletcher is effective in the system we play, but isn’t going to frighten anyone. Nuhiu gives us something different, and can be difficult to handle, especially when used late on, from the bench. Rhodes and Winnall offer very little at this level. Forestieri is the one class act, but is inconsistent, and often isn’t played in a striking role. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

steelowl Posted August 29, 2019 Share Posted August 29, 2019 just imo the lad is fragile mentally, probably needs a dynamic motivator man manager type but hIs time here has gone sour, I don't know the truth about bullying or not fitting in but you almost don't need that info because his body language is appalling Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Never rated him here Firstly I wasn't in the clamour to get him but having paid through the nose for him we never really used him when I say gone sour - you're right he hasn't done anything here but I meant there appears a visible problem and I understand he was due to go to Norwich but a deal could not be agreed (not blaming anyone for that ) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
mcmigo Posted August 29, 2019 Share Posted August 29, 2019 Phone up Lennon or Gerrard in Glasgow and do a loan deal for him in the next day or two. He will score for fun up there. He has been nothing short of hopeless for us , for whatever reason. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Quist Posted August 29, 2019 Share Posted August 29, 2019 8 hours ago, hirstyboywonder said: Without being too harsh, how much more detrimental can it get in terms of making him contribute any less? I don't condone booing him but I'd just rather not have him in the side at the moment as we have players who offer far more. This is exactly how I feel. Needs to be moved on as quickly as possible, he has little if any sell on value with current wages. We probably have to write off transfer fee as he is just a millstone for the club doe to wages. I think nobody wanted him to fail but in reality he has and some who were very keen on him are very upset with performances. I never wanted him as thought best days were behind him and saw it as a bonus if he did well so no real shock he has not performed. Think Norwich interest was kept alive by agent , Norwich would only have him for less than they paid last year which I think sums up how they rated him.

Inspector Lestrade Posted August 29, 2019 Share Posted August 29, 2019 9 hours ago, Rogers said: I think that’s untrue. I think there’s a lot that question what he offers, mostly down to his ability to hold the ball amd his mobility. Like they do Nuhiu, And others. One of the best things about football is when players shove the abuse back down the fans gobs. Morris Sterland Bolder Plenty of others over the years Palmer and Fox most notably recently, I do criticise (give my expert opinion) players on OT but can't understand why fans boo them etc. It must be a soul destroying experience.
