CircleSeven Posted January 4, 2021 Share Posted January 4, 2021 Ah, the classic ‘lose, lose’. If he stays he will probably continue to fail and cost us money, if he goes he will probably help QPR at our expense and leave us very, very light on strikers of any description. On balance while he isn’t a starter (and I can’t see he will be) it’s better to get him off the books I suppose. He never seems to make a difference off the bench so he’s not worth keeping. No doubt we’ll let him go and the new manager will turn up and ask ‘where’s that Rhodes lad? I’m planning on building the whole team around him’. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

He will do exactly what he has done at Boro, Blackburn, Norwich and Huddersfield - score at better than a goal every 200 minutes. He’s only failed for one Championship club. His fault, our fault, incompatible? Who knows? 3 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Holmowl Posted January 4, 2021 Share Posted January 4, 2021 4 minutes ago, Rogers said: Will we replace him? Flippin hope so. If not it’s midfielder Windass up front, replaced by Paterson and God-help-us Kachunga and dire Marriott when subbed or unavailable. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
theowlsman Posted January 4, 2021 Share Posted January 4, 2021 Imagine my surprise three months later, when I stumbled upon a table of the league and atop perched a former lowly club from London. Seems the January acquisition of a former Sheffield Wednesday player, had assisted somewhat in improving the London club’s position. Verily, said hotshot had immediately set upon a mission of putting the records straight, re-establishing himself as a goalscoring sensation. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

A goal machine both before and after he played for us. Real Sociedad cashed in on him to the tune of £12million. Dog poo while at S6. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

mogbad Posted January 4, 2021 Share Posted January 4, 2021 They’ve only got a small pitch, it won’t take him as long to run from the half way line to the penalty box. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

beswetherick Posted January 4, 2021 Share Posted January 4, 2021 Cracking bit of business for us if they’re paying all his wages, frees up money to bring in 2-3 players which we urgently need.

If they have £35kpw to spend that gets you a top Championship striker. it wouldnt be on Rhodes given his past few seasons. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

My guess is QPR will be paying about half his wages no loan fee. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Nick the Owl Posted January 4, 2021 Share Posted January 4, 2021 Weighing this up it's a no-brainer and great move for us. Tiny chance of him banging them in for QPR vs. Offloading huge wages to free up other signing(s). No disrespect to Jordan as he seems a likeable lad and I was one of many who were delighted with his signing but hope to God it's true, in hindsight proved a terrible signing. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
