Rhodes can have no qualms about the support he’s received from us to say he’s been abject from the moment he turned up Once Coco got his hands on him its been a slippery slope ever since. I think he has to leave to save his career because he has been written off here and its in no ones best interest to drag this out. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Coco went on record saying he was getting him to change his game and that was a massive mistake, Rhodes is a one trick pony, what he does he does fantastically well. Sadly its just not worked for him here and its a crying shame because he is the best at what he does but what he does doesn't fit in to our system.

He'll be mocked for losing his edge completely and becoming a total has-been at 27 - which is bizarre, because his game never involved pace. Didn't have it to lose. There's no obvious reason why he's become so toothless at his age. His fire's just gone out. Game has moved on , quicker, stronger, fitter players ....Rhodes hasn't ! 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Abdi is the obvious one, but if you look back into the not to distant past you'll find gems like Bothroyd, Francis Jeffers to name but a very few.

I'll give you Abdi, not sure wages were on par with Rhodes and his fee was about £3M I think , bothroyd I didn't think was here that long and not sure he was a big fee.

Worksop Wednesday Posted September 26, 2019 Share Posted September 26, 2019 seems completely lost now both on and off field - ran around like he was thinking 'i need to try' but knocked off ball so easy and I could have been in Premiership with Norwich poor form dad leaves goes on loan for season promise shown this pre-season, was he 'showing' up for perm move to Norwich? Bruce and Agnew (who I believe is his he uncle) leave Doesn't make starting 11 under Bullen and more recently the 18 under Monk Even the shirt number (granted Fletcher also wore or was given 6 previously) seems odd ( I'm not a number 6 Rhodes 'record' would say) That ridiculous free transfer offer Norwich made now doesn't seem so ridiculous! Or maybe more so was DC holding for £7 million as reports said SWFC and Rhodes not doing anybody any good now, needs to go in January for nowt, danger it becoming, albeit for different reasons another 'Abdi /McGugan' esque ' type thingy Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

mcmigo Posted September 27, 2019 Share Posted September 27, 2019 What a crazy situation. Our all time record signing and one of the most prolific scorers at this level in 20 years. And he has been absolutely hopeless! I am not sure what or who is a disgrace but to be on the safe side, everyone ever including Jordan Rhodes is a disgrace.

Mr Farrell Posted September 28, 2019 Share Posted September 28, 2019 You all seem to forget, that the 15 million spunked on the unfortunate JR (inc wages) is 100% your fault. You asked for him. The Chairman delivered. Fair play to him and his son. Anyone moaning about the most expensive ticket prices in the country needs to take a step back and apologise. You put us in 2 years of transfer embargos, not the Chairman and his son. Ps. Paxo was on holiday when the JR fiasco happened, so no good blaming him. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Bannofan Posted September 28, 2019 Share Posted September 28, 2019 Should have let him go on a free transfer in the summer, instead we are stuck paying massive wages to someone who can barely make the matchday squad. I'd be very suprised if we ever saw anything more than a token £0.5k for him . More likely he'll stay , pick up his fortune in wages and run his contract down.

Same as the rest of his Championship career. He’s only failed to score at this rate at one club. Ours. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

You do realise for us to give him a free transfer we’d be obliged to pay the remainder of his contract? He may as well stay here and play if and when needed His attitude still appears to be professional unlike Abdi so we may as well have him around the squad. We will need him when injuries start Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
