We need those wages off our books, otherwise the ' brilliant bloke' Jordan Rhodes is going to sit on his fat contract until it runs out . That's only 9 months away!

His scoring record, Wednesday aside, is pretty impressive averaging just under a goal every 2 games for Scunthorpe, Barnsley and Derby. For the money we paid I still think it was a smart buy and I reckon we’re yet to see the best of him. As for Rhodes we simply hugely overpaid for a player who was already showing signs of being on the wane. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Vic Flange Posted October 1, 2019 Share Posted October 1, 2019 Rhodes on the wane. From what I have seen of him he is looking at wane in the rear view mirror. If I am honest it is quite sad to watch a player who is a shadow of his former self, second to the ball, can't head and gets knocked over like he 3 stone wet through. Can't believe he is on the wage he is. Quite literally burning money. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

gurujuan Posted October 1, 2019 Share Posted October 1, 2019 Can we utilise him in the same way Norwich did? Yes, he can’t be trusted to start, and isn’t going to press or close down, but I suspect, even in his diminished state, he still represents our best chance of a late goal from the bench. We have Nuhiu and Forestieri to offer something different, but Rhodes for the last ten minutes or so, when we need a goal? It is sad to have to think of him in such terms, but if we can’t sell him, is there a way he can contribute? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

He’s rightly behind all the other forwards because he lacks any impact at all The only way he will get a chance now is due to injuries Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
fred mciver Posted October 1, 2019 Share Posted October 1, 2019 Rhodes will come good under Monk and his new strategy. Think Blackburn with Marshall and a top target man thought Jordan fed off so brilliantly. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Or even trouble opposition defenders. I would love to believe he is a good option off the bench but he ain't. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest ka58 Posted October 1, 2019 Share Posted October 1, 2019 Came on tonight - anonymous - he’s finished. get him off the books for gods sake. it makes me sad watching him chase round like a dog looking for his favourite toy. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

pat blondeau Posted October 1, 2019 Share Posted October 1, 2019 Can’t run, doesn’t work the channels, doesn't have a trick or any skill, doesn’t hold up the ball or link play and he’s 16 games for Wednesday without a goal. What are his strengths again? 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
OohAahGuyWhittingham Posted October 1, 2019 Share Posted October 1, 2019 If Rhodes had been bought for half a mil from league one, he would be rotting in the reserves by now and righly so. He's had more than the benefit of the doubt and proven he can't perform at this level any more. Nothing against the guy personally but it is not fair to give him minutes ahead of any of our other strikers now in the vain hope that he will suddenly come good after nearly three years of nothing Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
