I haven't seen your thread or the Leicester match, I'm judging on more than one pre-season friendly at a training ground, but if you want to do that then fair enough.

 

Well, it's a new season and we're playing a new system.. so..
Seems fair to reference the most recent data, no?

 

Complaining that he was poor under Carlos feels like not a hugely useful thing to be doing.

He was poor under every manager we've had, not sure why you've completely made up something I haven't said when all the messages are right there.

The "contorttion" of taking what someone says is an awful strike rate and applying it to the number of minutes our main striker should be playing in a season?

 

Aye.. bonkers that.

 

So you'd be happy with someone who managed 12 goals in just about a complete season, offered nothing else and cost you around £8m !? And he's also preventing someone else from taking that place and doing better with it, like almost every other forward we've had in the period he's been here? Your comparison with Fletcher is laughable given that he cost less than half of the fee, scored at twice that rate and was a much more important component of the team's overall game.  

 

The much ridiculed Nuhiu took just 4 months to get more assists and score as many goals as Rhodes has in his entire time here. 

 

85 starts in 5 years, at 4 clubs, under 9 managers and even takes in 2 injury crises. That's a lot of situations and people who clearly don't think he's much good for a long, long time. And if this avalanche of goals is just waiting to be unleashed, where are all the bids to take him from us? He's not been playing and we need some cash relief. The only solid offer we've heard about lately? A League One club.

You're correct that nothing is less than half of 8 million...

Sorry, it's tough keeping up with that large crowd of forwards who've all done better for us than Jordan Rhodes.
