Jordan Rhodes - we are 'interested'

[Icy Gull]

No doubt Derby would also have signed up Glenn Murray if he wasn't so desperate to stay in this region. Laughable how many strikers Derby have.

We could do worse than sign Rhodes but isn't he a professional Northerner who moves for the money? We have no chance

 

[Alba Badger]

You might hope that he wants to go to a club that might suit him rather than for the money... who am I kidding.

Would love Albion to sign him but I just can't see it unless it was on loan.

 

[HCxUK]

Doubt we're in for him. Not what we need, and certainly not at that price. I don't think the striker we're looking for is in England to be honest, unless it's a young player on loan from a PL club. But even then I don't think that's what we need at the moment.

 

[Simster]

Meh.

 

[Hugo Rune]

No. He has proved himself a Championship specialist with his lack of game time in the Premier League. He is not the striker we are looking for and wouldn't compliment Murray or Hemed.

 

[bobbysmith01]

No thanks, not what we
Need.

If you have asked me a year ago I'd have been very interested but since that time he's played a mere 2 matches in the Prem, he's not even nailed down a Scotland striker position ahead of the likes of Leigh Griffiths, Steven Fletcher and Chris Martin, and we've brought in Glenn Murray.

It doesn't seem the best fit.

We need a premier league ready striker,if we need one at all !

 

[Triggaaar]

I think we should act like we're after him just to detract from whom we're really after.

 

[saafend_seagull]

Fat and slow. We need someone whose big with a bit of pace.

No from me. I want an upgrade on Baldock.

 

[GT49er]

Over priced, over paid, so not for here. Thanks.




If we are going to splash out big on a striker (as opposed to getting in a loan to help us get over the finishing line), that striker needs to be PL ready (or PL proven). Evidence suggests that is a step too far for JR.

 

[warmleyseagull]

CH is quoted in Times this morning: "Yes, January is important. But what we will do in January will be minimal." Not sure JR would be 'minimal'.

 

[BensGrandad]

Middlesbro paid the money, he got the goals, they got promioted and their money back. They could afford quite easily to sell him at a slight loss having earned them £100m so we could do the same. Spend the money, get promoted and then put him back on the list for some other team to do the same in 17/18 season. Very simple but not my £8m being spent.

 

[Solid at the back]

Think its bollocks, Steve Bruce was on the 5live last Monday saying they have 6 or 7 strikers and only play with one.

 

[dr415414]

No from me. Too slow and has the turning capacity of a milk float. To be fair our wingers could provide him with some good service which he might thrive on but I think he's massively over priced and not sure he'd add anything.

Last season I would have said absolutely, this season........not so much

 

[Ernest]

I would HOPE we're looking to SPEND a lot more than a POXY £10million or SO that ROADS would cost

 

[crasher]

We need a premier league ready striker,if we need one at all !

Agree. Rhodes isn't quick enough apart from anything else.

 

[sir albion]

Quality championship striker and would certainly score goals especially in a 4-4-2 system but he's to expensive and I do recall him being one of the blokes that won't move from the north mmmmm.
