Might be wrong? I think it's wrong. Wouldn't be the first time. Joined initially on loan, which was made permanent on a 4yr contract in summer 2017. That's what was reported at the time anyway.

Been said this week that Norwich agreed fee and terms to sign him in summer, then DC blocked the move. All very bizarre. i heard the deal was done too before the window end but yet again a last minute pull by DC 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Iif you dig back and look bud, you'll find I was more. Full. Of surprise and confusion. As I said at the time we had Nando, hooper, joao, Nuhiu. The we made what looked like a cracking piece of business by signing a bang in form free scoring Winnall from a poor Barnsley side with what looked a steal at 500k. Most teams operate with 4/5 first team forwards, to suddenly spend that amount of money on someone we really didn't need in a position we didn't need to strengthen just didn't make sense when we had limited cover in other areas such as rw cb and lb. As I said I was a bit confused to be honest. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
TheEnchanter Posted November 5, 2019 Share Posted November 5, 2019 Don't get why people bring up the hindsight surrounding the Rhodes signing. Most people were happy and excited, me included. The signing turned out to be an absolute shambles. Damn right I've changed my mind on the fact that I thought he was a good signing. I was wrong, he was/is an awful signing for this club. There you go, opinions change based on the current level of performance you get from a player. The sooner he leaves the better. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

NYCOWL Posted November 5, 2019 Share Posted November 5, 2019 He was still good enough to warrant a place on the bench for last seasons champions. Its all just so Wednesday Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Doghouse Daz Posted November 5, 2019 Share Posted November 5, 2019 As GM has stated, the whole squad has a part to play. He's been given a run out with the U23s, possibly as a result of showing form in training. Is he in GM's plans over the coming weeks. I, for one, am prepared to suck it and see. I'd rather see a return on our investment, whichever way he can deliver it. Sod the presumptuous speculation, if GM sees something there, then I'm all for it. Your destiny awaits JR, now deliver. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

For me I still believe he will be gone in January mainly due to his high wages and poor form. However if he was to be given a run and score a few maybe his confidence will come back and he could make all the difference, he's likely to score more than nuhiu and winnall, what are your opions fresh start or get rid? 50 pages minimum Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

This summer was a good start. i think a third party may conclude this squad as a whole has failed 4 times and just isnt quite good enough skill/temperament - I realise we are in the mix this year again hopefully in or around playoffs but if we fail i'd like to see a change of direction by DC start letting players go start again as much as is possible financially for example rhodes and FF (ban aside) neither been utilised when available Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

owl-zat Posted November 5, 2019 Share Posted November 5, 2019 I went to the U23 game yesterday and Rhodes took his goal well in the one-on-one with the keeper slotting it past him into the corner of the net. Did he do much more during the game, no not really. Do I think he still has something to offer, yes if played alongside Fletcher or Nhuhi to latch onto the knock on's or Harris's crosses. He never did offer much more for other teams apart from being a predator in the box but has never really had the service with Wednesday. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
