Time to do everything and sign Jordan Rhodes. He has left Huddersfield.
And if we do sign him will Sadler get a free ride will he fuck.Time to do everything and sign Jordan Rhodes. He has left Huddersfield.
i’m with you on that one Lanc but think we may well be in the minority. Like the guy but don’t see him wholly being the answer to our striking options.Call me mad but I wouldn’t be too bothered if he doesn’t end up here. He’d probably demand a big wage and I’m not sure I’d want him up front every week. I’d happily have him as a bit part player, the odd start and off the bench.
Your not mad but I'd have him back all day long but certainly not if it takes a massive chunk of our budget.Call me mad but I wouldn’t be too bothered if he doesn’t end up here.

He was brilliant for us in the first half of his spell but did dry up. We perhaps overused him and would be more effective if he was managed better. Who knows.i’m with you on that one Lanc but think we may well be in the minority. Like the guy but don’t see him wholly being the answer to our striking options.
No. All should be priorities. If we signed those three we'd be part way to a Championship side.Of three it would be
Byers
Rhodes
Couldon
As priority signings in that order.
That would be a good spineOf three it would be
Byers
Rhodes
Couldon
As priority signings in that order.
All 3 would probably take up half our entire wage budget.That would be a good spine
Dack was a very good player but his injury record rules him out.Can’t see us getting Byers. Middlesboro will demand a fee for coulson( still under contract at boro) maybe we will get Rhodes but I wouldn’t be breaking our budget to sign him tbh.
Bradley Dack released by Sunderland too but his wages will be ridiculous at a guess
I think there’s a lot of truth in what you say but you are maybe being a tad harsh on him. What he achieved in the first half of the season was incredible really when you think how few chances we produce.without his goals we would have been mid table at best. He is however not getting any younger , is injury prone and needs at least one good mobile striker next to him..I could see a lot of merit in a Yates ,Joseph , Rhodes combo but then you still need to get the ball forward with tempo and pace and our currrent centre halves and midfield struggle with that. If we accept that Dembele is out of reach ( I would defo ask just how much they want though and not just assume he’s too pricy for us) then I would say Byers should be the main target and build a team around him. I think Byers and Norburn will flourish together if the neil Critchley handbrake is taken off and then it’s either someone new or Carey(who improved towards the end of the season) or Apter.I find the Rhodes love-in strange.
People desperate to sign a striker who has next to no mobility or pace. Great movement but his speed is non-existent.
34 years old and has missed a lot of games injured in the last few seasons so severely doubt that’s going to improve.
Hasn’t scored a goal this calendar year.
Cant play upfront on his own, when he has his lack of pace/mobility is exposed badly.
Will demand high wages in comparison to other squad members.
No doubts he’s a great finisher in the penalty area but factoring in all the above & as we’re not renowned for getting the ball in the box, unless he’s 3rd or 4th choice then I’m thinking we need to look at different options.
Having him as our main central striker is only going to end in disappointment when he’s injured a lot or we flag him to be even slower.
100%Would rather sign Dan Kemp and play him as a 10 instead of Dack
He's a good professional, but I'd sooner we spend our limited budget on a tough, physical & nasty forward (don't ask me who though!).i’m with you on that one Lanc but think we may well be in the minority. Like the guy but don’t see him wholly being the answer to our striking options.
He's a good professional, but I'd sooner we spend our limited budget on a tough, physical & nasty forward (don't ask me who though!). However, if he signs on a one year deal, for the right money, that will be a good signing, as he'll also add experience to the dressing room.
Think you are rightBullshit account
Already sortedTime to do everything and sign Jordan Rhodes. He has left Huddersfield.

Slow!? Must be someone else!There's only one injury plagued very slow 34 year old I want us to sign and it ain't Jordan Rhodes
Colson.That would be a good spine
I think this is a great idea, everyone crying out for help with the coaching staff and Rhodes has the respect of the players.I'd be offering Rhodes a player/coach role if I were Sadler.
Rhodes is a student of the game, he's studied successful players to improve his own technique and we've seen the end product from a player that in reality lacks the natural physical attributes that most successful strikers have... That knowledge, technique and attention to detail, if it can be passed on to others, could be a gold mine!I think this is a great idea, everyone crying out for help with the coaching staff and Rhodes has the respect of the players.
No, we can’t be taking people on with attacking ideas. Ridiculous suggestion.I'd be offering Rhodes a player/coach role if I were Sadler.
So has everyone else that's read this thread!I've heard Rhodes has sighed a 1 year deal.
Yeah but I'm more important than them. And when I say I've heard, it's trueSo has everyone else that's read this thread!![]()
I hope it is but I'll wait and see.Yeah but I'm more important than them. And when I say I've heard, it's true![]()
Apparently Byers signing for Birmingham CityI think he will sign along with Coulson. I think Byers will go to a diffrent team
Not really a spine, Coulson is a left legThat would be a good spine
a defender, midfielder and strikerNot really a spine, Coulson is a left legBe a bit concerned about Rhodes fitness, would be unbelievable if we got Byers but possibly unrealistic. I'd offload Norburn.
