Rocker Posted August 26, 2012 Share Posted August 26, 2012 My boss just text me to say that Jordan Rhodes is negotiating terms. Says he knows the family. http://i.imgur.com/yS019.gif Screenshot please. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Tooj Posted August 26, 2012 Share Posted August 26, 2012 From any bits I've seen of him he looks a great finisher but no idea what else he has to his game and if he'd be ready to make the step up. I thought David Nugent would be class and Rhodes finishing at that level reminds me of his. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
johnnypd Posted August 26, 2012 Share Posted August 26, 2012 We struggle to fit Cisse and Ba alongside each other so not sure why we'd be looking for yet another natural numebr 9 who is all about scoring rather than their all round game. at least with Carroll or De Jong you could see how they'd work with one of the two we already have, albeit only in a 4-4-2.

Fenham Mag Posted August 26, 2012 Share Posted August 26, 2012 Can he be a yes man like Perch? Maybe what Pardew is after. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Optimistic Nut Posted August 26, 2012 Share Posted August 26, 2012 We struggle to fit Cisse and Ba alongside each other so not sure why we'd be looking for yet another natural numebr 9 who is all about scoring rather than their all round game. at least with Carroll or De Jong you could see how they'd work with one of the two we already have, albeit only in a 4-4-2. We have no-one of Cisse's style at the club though until you get to Adam Campbell. Rhodes would be someone who can bridge that gap between us using Campbell sparingly like we'd hope, rather than potentially relying him to be a pretty important first-team squad member already.

ElDiablo Posted August 26, 2012 Share Posted August 26, 2012 We need a number 10 ideally to link things, Ben Arfa does it but not consistently in the same position or in the same way. A Rooney rather than a van Nistelrooy. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Pilko Posted August 26, 2012 Share Posted August 26, 2012 Cisse, Ba, Shola and Rhodes (with HBA, Obertan, Vuckic and Sammy as 'support' options, and Campbell as the prodigal youth) would be a good pool of strikers to go into the season with, imo.

Dave Posted August 26, 2012 Share Posted August 26, 2012 Not convinced it's even worth discussing, but wouldn't Rhodes want to go somewhere he'll definitely play every week? Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
jdckelly Posted August 26, 2012 Share Posted August 26, 2012 Not convinced it's even worth discussing, but wouldn't Rhodes want to go somewhere he'll definitely play every week? perhaps but then again surely as a player he'd back himself to dislodge Ba or Cisse Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

High Five o Posted August 26, 2012 Share Posted August 26, 2012 I have seen very little of Jordan Rhodes. But from what i have seen and read, he is a CF. So he does not really fit in a 433? Still not sure if we need another striker of that mold. Get us a Bellamy rebirth please Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Optimistic Nut Posted August 26, 2012 Share Posted August 26, 2012 In a way, he'd be under less pressure coming to someone like us, than he would by going to someone like Wigan or Southampton. If he went there, he'd go as the main man and be expected to get 15 goals, here though, he'd have the chance to be eased in, get 20-30 minutes here and there along with starting in the cups, and 6-8 goals would be classed as a good start.

colinmk Posted August 26, 2012 Share Posted August 26, 2012 Would be delighted if we signed him. Great movement, natural finisher. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

GM Posted August 26, 2012 Share Posted August 26, 2012 Well this would be a turn up for the books. I'd heard Jordan Rhodes was meant to be all set to sign for Blackburn, apparently... Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
gbandit Posted August 26, 2012 Share Posted August 26, 2012 Would be delighted if we signed him. Great movement, natural finisher. What's his pace like. Does he ever do link up play or create for himself with dribbles or is he just an out and out finisher? Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

papo Posted August 26, 2012 Share Posted August 26, 2012 Weren't we linked with Ciani in January/earlier in the summer? Not him. Robin Bairner @RBairner #Bordeaux defender #Ciani confirmed after playing a key role in the 0-0 draw with #PSG that he will join #Lazio. Not really excited by anyone in that Bordeaux team tbh. And the price is: 2 million €... http://www.eurosport.fr/football/transferts/2012-2013/ciani-pour-2m_sto3399854/story.shtml Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Does he ever do link up play or create for himself with dribbles or is he just an out and out finisher? Not seen loads of him but from what I have he is an out and out finisher with clever movement. Not sure about pace, hasn't looked like a problem when I have seen him though. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ikon Posted August 26, 2012 Share Posted August 26, 2012 Aint gonna happen, but Remy would be the perfect signing in every way, him and Debuchy and this would be the best window ever, god i want it to happen! Then a CB in january. That would be some team/squad. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Sifu Posted August 26, 2012 Share Posted August 26, 2012 Rhodes would fit the bill nicely. Would be good back up to have if anything were to happen to Ba/Cisse. Our attacking options would be very decent. Would be satisfied to go into the season with Cisse, Ba, Rhodes, Shola, (Sammy), Campbell as our strikeforce. Make it so. Btw, how gutted will Carroll be if we do sign Rhodes over him Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
