Sure he’s a lovely bloke and some of the blame here should sit with Carlos, but still very disappointing overall. Well we have had a few crackers to choose from.

I don't believe people are - or should be - bashing him but the facts speak for themselves. This is the prolific striker who's strike rate is around 1 in 5 for us since he signed. I didn't realise it was that good tbh 1 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

New manager, good day for the club, decent away win. Priority: slag off Rhodes. A bit like the old days when a month before any transfer window there would be a ten page thread about why we should bankrupt ourselves to go and get Jordan Rhodes. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The crowd responded to it as did the rest of the team This has been the case on plenty of occasions Never have I thought that about Rhodes since he’s been here Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

His performances have been very poor and does not deserve a place. I think Norwich were not realistic about signing him and it was just a front to give him some publicity them to say thank you and hopefully generate publicity to get him a move. Realistically when have you ever seen a player be part of a promotion winning squad to Premiership and they try to secure a player who was on loan with them last year for less money than they paid previous year. if reports of what they were offering this would have been situation. I can understand Dc rejecting this type of offer but if he does have 2 ears left on his contract it would have saved £3 million in wages and that is probably a better return than we will get elsewhere. As far as I understand from what was reported before he went to Norwich, if we sell him (or give him away, as some are suggesting) then the full sum owed to Middlesbrough needs to be paid. At the moment we are paying instalments to lessen the impact on FFP. Moving him on for nothing would indeed save a chunk of wages, but if that means we have to immediately pay the balance we owe on the transfer fee then it could be a significant enough loss to tip us over the edge. Obviously that was all pre stadium sale, which may have changed the landscape completely. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I was thinking more about how JR was used once we had him. We turned the best poacher the Championship has seen into a target man. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

vulva Posted September 16, 2019 Share Posted September 16, 2019 Rhodes has been very poorly managed, and is going down the road of Melo, Abdi, Urby and so on. We’ve got an asset depreciating in value, quickly, daily. Should have been moved on 12 months ago, a solution that is best for all parties. Not every transfer works out, no problem with that, but to allow the situation to drag on like it has, is equally unacceptable. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Think the anomaly you point out shows idiocy of current system. Where you could expect club to make £3 million of savings by getting rid of a player it actually makes situation worse in current year but much better next season. How is this helping clubs to manage financial situation? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

To continue paying his astronomical wages even just till January may be a silly decision. We really needed to take advantage of getting him off he wage bill. How ?

Has been since day 1, DC bowed to the wishes of a good majority of posters on here to sign a player who couldnt get into an average middlesborough side, his intentions are good but his lethal goal scoring days are over, one of many mistakes that have cost us dearly.

Or the only club that do want him, dont want to pay anything, meaning we would have to pay Middlesbrough £4m we don't have? 1 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
