You have to buy me a top striker and now!” I don’t like it, because I like Rhodes, but I do understand it.

Bannofan Posted November 30, 2020 Share Posted November 30, 2020 Actually , there's a few things going on here isn't there? Was Pulis right to 'sub the sub' and destroy any last crumbs of confidence Rhodes has - No. Is Jordan Rhodes still terrible , as he has been since he joined us - Yes Should Jordan Rhodes start whenever he's fit , as he's no worse than any other of our loosely named 'attackers ' - Probably Yes. This isn't the worse striker situation in my Wednesday lifetime. I've seen us play Tony Crane up front for a few games. That's it..Van Aken up front! Go for it! 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
tomhollywood Posted November 30, 2020 Share Posted November 30, 2020 Can't be bothered reading 15 pages. I noticed Pulis said in his presser it was a decision made for the team and that he'd have a chat with him on Monday. I don't see any issue with that and i'm sure he'll be nothing but honest with Rhodes when he talks to him today. What's the general consensus in the thread? Pulis right or wrong? 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Bannofan Posted November 30, 2020 Share Posted November 30, 2020 I love stats... This season, Jordan Rhodes has the best goals to minutes ratio in the entire team . That's with his official 1 goal in 11 games record. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Rogerwyldesmullet Posted November 30, 2020 Share Posted November 30, 2020 15 pages Overall: a few people agreeing with Pulis most people feel sorry for Rhodes everyone feels sorry for us no one feeling sorry for DC cos he’s rich I feel sorry for Att 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Guest Hornsby Posted November 30, 2020 Share Posted November 30, 2020 Pulis has to make a major mark quickly on the rancid culture of our club. Rhodes is now finished, and his lucrative contracts after June. Others too that don't perform. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Hack-Abusi Posted November 30, 2020 Share Posted November 30, 2020 Rhodes hasn't worked out for us massively. Turning in to the worst transfer we;ve ever made in terms of outlay in cash He wasn't wanted by many yet the chairman thought fit to buy him anyway and completely wasting a massive chunk of transfer budget on him as well. And anyone that agrees with his "I did it as the fans were calling for him" want their ******** heads checking. What experience chairman brings in a 8m gamble when we had a flurry on expensive talent on the books already. Fcks sake I don't agree with Pulis hooking him off neither .. Should have taken Patterson off, or moved him in to midfield and brought someone else off and let Rhodes see out the game. Changing the game changed nothing. Absolutely nothing. BUT I really hope Pulis still has Rhodes in his thoughts and continues to play him. He can't be any worse than what garbage Patterson, Windass and Kachunga have dished up Jesus wept, we are bereft of talent up front and in midfield ... What the fizz have we become ... 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Same about reading 15 pages, I read a few. Here are my thoughts. I thought it was wrong for Pulis to do it, especially in our situation. The only thing I can see why he did it is because Rhodes didn't follow the tactics/plan. I think he's kinda lying on the made for the team comment, why publicly destroy probably one of the last chances Rhodes has with us ect. and also bring Brown on who did nothing compared with him? 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Great post , mate. I can't think of a worse signing- some might say Abdi, but supporters were behind him and his time here was destroyed by injury..hardly his fault. You can also argue that in his rare appearances he looked quality. Rhodes - well I've never known such a large number of posters be against a signing to start with, he's cost us way more. I appreciate that most of us wouldn't do the same job for less money, but Rhodes is a millionaire and could have taken a haircut to save his career and play. I think lack of ambition and greed has turned supporters against him as much as his awful performances. 1 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

You have totally made that up mate Lack of ambition? Greed? Chansiri has knocked back all offers for him. How then is he supposed to move elsewhere when the chairmans put him in chains and padlocks? 1 Owlstalk Shop Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I am always very respectful that people have strong held views and have every right to express them. In this particular case though I find anyone making a statement like the above a bit nonsensical. Rhodes didn’t sign himself to Sheffield Wednesday. He didn’t force anyone to either pay him what he is being paid. He isn’t dropping himself or picking other players ahead of himself. He can’t sell himself to another club. He can’t loan himself to another club. He is available to play for Sheffield Wednesday. Why would anyone, however rich they are or aren’t just take a massive pay cut based on circumstances they are not responsible for? Particularly when it’s not even within their own power to instigate that pay cut? It doesn’t make any sense. I thought the move at the time was crazy and it clearly hasn’t worked out. But to suggest it’s his own fault for being greedy and selfish just doesn’t sit right with me. Thumbs up Jordan 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
