The team win and score prolifically when Rhodes partners Fletcher:- 612 mins 18 team goals Fletcher 8 goals Rhodes 7 goals We can give him away, or we can play them together for 6/8 games at the start of next season, and watch us score, win, and the value of a costly asset rise. And, to anticipate replies, if it doesn’t work, we’ve lost nothing. Except our opening games against Rotherham, Fleetwood and Burton. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

DeeJayOne Posted March 18, 2020 Share Posted March 18, 2020 It is almost as though not playing a player (and when you do refusing to play to his strengths) can reduce the value of a player... SHEFFIELD SHOP Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Letters to the chairman? Ringing up the club switchboard and overloading it with phone calls for us to sign him?

Methinks we might have Jordan for another twelve months as he is unlikely to get a similar wage elsewhere. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

He would have gone on loan but DC in effect stopped a move to Celtic.

The games I've seen him play in (Forest apart) he's had absolutely zero influence on the game, starting with 10 men would have been more beneficial.
