Another advantage is that his wage is likely to be less than the 35k a week that Fletcher was on. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
TheEnchanter Posted August 30, 2020 Share Posted August 30, 2020 Bamford is 10x the player Rhodes is which shows those stats are ridiculous. He led the line, usually on his own, for all 46 games for a team that won the league. He is an annoying poo but he is probably underrated by fans compared to how managers probably view him.

FlyingOwl Posted August 30, 2020 Share Posted August 30, 2020 Those stats will be inaccurate to the truth because of goals per game or goals per start ratio. Rhodes scored a hat trick in one of the very few games he started/played in. Bamford pretty much played the majority of Leeds’ season but wasn’t ‘prolific’. Obviously Bamford is the better striker though Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

We got very few crosses into the box and outside the box he was up against Soyunc? , one of the best defenders in the Premier League. Obviously he needs help up there, he can only play in a two . In regards to strikers you have to sign the ones that suit the way we are going to play. A pacy, footballing forward would be great but we will have to play a lot more football on the deck through the middle rather than going wide all the time. Jutkiwiezc is the best header of the ball in the division and leads the line well. Ideal foil for Rhodes and others. If we could get him it would be ideal, he is a great focal point, and I honestly don’t see us suddenly becoming a great footballing team to support a smaller, pacy striker. Good post. Winall (not a giant) scored a lot with headers at Barnsley. We need someone arially dominant (like Fletcher) because we will not stop launching at the lone forward's head. Yesterday.. Rhodes' marker went through the back of him and cleared with ease. We need someone to contest in this area so that we've got a chance of picking up the second ball.

BarnsleyOwl96 Posted August 30, 2020 Share Posted August 30, 2020 Issue is with Jutkiewicz he’s 31 so will he fit into the new style of signing , that’s the thing , but 15 goals last season , certainly would be happy if we did go in for him Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Deepcar_lights Posted August 30, 2020 Share Posted August 30, 2020 Lack of anyone coming in upfront is not a good sign for me. Little bit disappointed, although many positives to take from yesterday. Crucial week to get some strikers in. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
