Same with Kodjia. He's not injured either ,he's playing with another team ,so technically not currently with us , and that's that . Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

He's a very good striker IMO, not world class but certainly better than what we currently have. Also unlike McCormack who's 30/31 Rhodes is just 26/27 so has plenty of goals still left in him. Signing Rhodes would be fantastic IMO, especially as it looks more and more likely we'll be playing Championship football next season as well. The only time Rhodes and world class should appear in the same sentence is if referring to a holiday destination 2 hours ago, Wainy316 said: Is there no good young Prem strikers on the fringes that we could loan?

No pressure but they've bought 2 strikers this window and he's hardly played so far before they came. Gibson may want £12m but if we'd are the only in for him he'd be daft not either loan him out or agree a deal. They paid £10m 12 months ago asking for 12 is a bit silly when you don't use him.

Popular Post sidcow Posted January 18, 2017 VT Supporter Popular Post Share Posted January 18, 2017 People. Will you PLEASE stop talking about this or that striker being a waste of time without a midfield. Not in 1000 years are we not going to sign at least 2 midfielders. Not a chance that Bruce and the whole coaching team have failed to spot our problem. How anyone can question if Rhodes who has scored 20+ goals 5 seasons in a row is no better than Gestade who has scored 20+goals in just one single season and literally nothing in the rest of his career is completely beyond me. 11 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

NottingVilla Posted January 18, 2017 Share Posted January 18, 2017 (edited) I had never heard of Jordon Rhodes before this transfer window. Some British pundits must have talked him up on that Championship show once after he got an hattrick or something with all the mutual mastrubation i'm hearing about him on this thread, From what I've heard he's exactly the type of signing we shouldn't be me making; EXPENSIVE, BRITISH AND SHIT!!

Sam3773 Posted January 18, 2017 Share Posted January 18, 2017 If we wanted Rhodes, we should have made it all part of the Gestede deal. If we end this window getting Lansbury and Hourihane, I'll have a downstairs twitch. Lansbury, Hourihane, Bree and Rhodes and I'll be full on tent poling. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

thabucks Posted January 18, 2017 Share Posted January 18, 2017 (edited) This (supposed) self imposed limitation of championship experience is severely limiting our options and plain wrong in my eyes. It's worked great so far with McCormack, Elphick & Jedinak hasn't it ?? Surely we can find someone who offers better value than Rhodes for the money it would need to prise him away.

I'm not exactly an avid follower of other teams but even I have been aware of Rhodes for a number of years. You hadn't heard of him yet already label him as shit? He's a proven goalscorer at this level. 5 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I think its more the realisation we won't get proven Premier League players to drop down. Priority is lets get out the division then I daresay, it'll be time for a rebuild again.
