Sky Sports reporting that 2 championship clubs have bid for Jordan Rhodes....

[S'hampton Seagull]

Middlesbrough for sure, I can't believe we have the financial muscle or the league position

 

[Ernest]

Rhodes or McCormack miles better than any striker on our books and if we're serious about a challenge that is the level we need to be signing

 

[atomised]

Quite impressive then. His record speaks for itself but he has always seemed below par whenever ive seen him. Age wise itd be a perfect time for him to move if blackburn arent going to achieve anything of note

 

[symyjym]

It won't be us bidding for him, we have set our sights much higher apparently.

Personally rather have Murray on loan than any of other players muted, including the South Americans.

Yep, would be very happy with Murray. Him and Zamora play for the team not themselves.

What as serious about a promotion challenge as Cardiff, Leeds, Fulham & Blackburn?

Does the team really need 'comfy' championship strikers?

Does the team need more foreigners unable to settle in or adjust to the pace of the game ?

 

[blockhseagull]

£12m plus £40k a week

I'll pass

What are the chances we'll not find out either way?

I'd say probably very HIGH

 

[Baaaald]

This guy is a 1 in 2 striker in the championship. Baffled by anyone that thinks we shouldn't break the bank for him.

Promotion

I'm in.

Jordan Rhodes - Tried and tested in the Championship with a great record or some unknown from space. I know who I want.

Some of the quotes on here are just laughable.

 

[pishhead]

It will 2 of Sheffield Wed, Derby or Boro.

 

[atomised]

Think thats a bit of a leap. If we had even the remptest chance then we should go for it. I think the price and wages would be beyond us. Whilst ive not been impressed with him I accept that his record is both superb and consistent.

 

[portslade seagull]

148 championship games
83 championship goals

How anyone can say he is "over rated" is beyond me. Just look at his record for the past 4 years.......and at a club nowhere near promotion.

Probably prefer a trier like CMS who was more like 15 goals in 120 appearances but he did run though

Can these three (actually make that 4 with Hull) seriously hoover up every decent striker?

 

[MF'84]

I'm sure that he's the type of player we're interested in (i.e. a proven goalscorer) but can't see us offering that kind of money. If it was possble at 6/7 million now you're talking.

If I had to lay my hard earned, it would certainly be on one of those. Boro and Derby have a two year record of going large on the best available strikers and Wednesday have joined them this season.

 

[Ernest]

Rhodes and a back to form Wilson would just about guarantee top 2

It's not the transfer fee but the wages.
