If we go down off the back of Jordan Rhodes going to QPR then we'll have deserved to go down. We play well and look after ourselves then it'll be irrelevant. 

 

Catterick - '66

 

Wilkinson - Leeds

 

Cantona - Leeds

 

It'll be one for the annals.

P.S. We had the chance not to be on the receiving end when Colin wanted to come here and get us up.

 

 

....but the fans rejected him.

Pretty sure he scored two in one game but four in total. He was number 10 in the ‘Top 50 worst Premier League Transfers of all Time’ list in the Times in 2007. 


that must be because of how much he went for after he left us as we got our money back for him. We’ve signed worse than him.

One is at liberty to enquire if a taxi may be available to provide secure and safe transportation of a former valued member of our squad.

 

Would anyone care to provide an escort to keep Mr Rhodes company for his long and weary journey?

D taxi on its way.....

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.

That bus left town 4 years ago.....

Fox in the box needs the ball in the box. 
We can’t guarantee that more than about six times a game so maybe only once during his “last10 Minute” cameos. 
Jordan has been well paid and starved by us at the same time!

In all my time following Wednesday I don't think there has been a signing that has promised so much and delivered so little.

 

I'm not entirely sure we can pin the blame or cause on one single factor.  It seems as though Rhodes was destined to play for us, and it should have worked out.  I think there are a few things to consider.

 

The first point is that we signed him when we were a fairly settled side and had just signed Sam Winnall.  We had a lot of striking options at that point.  It's pretty clear that Carlos didn't want him, but felt he had to play him.  Then, Carlos hanging Rhodes out to dry over not taking a penalty was awful man-management, even if you think Rhodes should have stepped up.  

 

We then had a succession of managers who never seemed keen on playing him.  Despite all that, on a goals-per-minutes played basis, Rhodes' stats aren't that bad.  Another factor which I think goes overlooked is that, for a while, Nuhiu was in fantastic form.  Had Nuhiu not been in such great form, I think we would have seen Rhodes get more games.  

 

My gut feeling is that if Rhodes signs for another Championship side, he will do what he has done for most of his career; score goals.

Started off here 3 goals in 6/7 matches missed pen at Leeds never seemed to recover? And lost wot bit of pace he had?   Think he’ll still score goals if he up top with a lump and plenty of crosses come in? But very few teams play like that now and tbh he looks spent? Wotever we get offered take it best for all parties? Oh and don’t think qpr will match his wages cus he’ll take a drop he out of contract in summer and he’ll know it’s a different ball game now? He took a drop to come here reports of 50/60k a wk at boro

Nothing on QPR's official page or twitter, not a done deal yet.

 

Frees up £30-35k pw in wages though, *if* it happens I'll wager we'll see Wickham and possibly one other coming in on loan.

Please god not Wickham a broken down shell of what he once was...

The other two maybe had more to offer Wednesday but I don't think Wilkinson going to Leeds was a mistake for Wednesday.
Things had gone stale for him at Hillsborough and a short time after he left Wednesday went on to have our best side since the WW2.
