I am genuinely puzzled about the lack of Premier bids for Rhodes. I know this season hasn't been a cracker for him, but the boy is gold. Gold! I just don't get it. Slow, his work-rate means its like playing with 10 men with him in the side, doesnt hold it up well, link play ........ Only bonus is he scores goals. Jesus christ.

Aren't they still paying Assombalonga instalments? They're supposed to be but they missed payments.

Hahahaha good parody account Which bit of what he said is wrong, his goalscoring is premier league, the rest of his play is nowhere near. Otherwise why has no decent PL team taken him, teams can't carry a passenger just in case he scores these days, they want more Sent from my SM-G900F using proboards

87 goals for us in three years & 66 for Blackburn in a little under that at the age of 25.
He's rubbish isn't he.

Which more than outweighs his lack of link-up play.

But if you give Jordan Rhodes the service he will score you 30 goals a season, almost guaranteed. Which more than outweighs his lack of link-up play. The point is, in the premier league, like in the championship, only the top clubs can afford the luxury of Jordan Rhodes, not because of his price, but because the other 10 players need to make up for the side of his game that isn't premier league class. His goalscoring is premier league standard, his general play is probably more suited to league 1 and that is why no-one is willing to take a punt on him. If you dominate possession and chances in your league then he is going to be extremely worthwhile and his involvement in the game via goalscoring chances will make up for his poor aspects of the game. If you stick him in a team thats struggling and needs folk to battle, press and run their socks off, he isnt going to be a first choice. Why didnt he play vs liverpool if he is so useful? because they know, like the rest of football he is a goalscorer, but he isnt going to graft. Blackburn needed someone to graft up top and feed of pieces, hold the ball up, link up.... Certainly not Jordan Rhodes strongest attributes, you may argue that he may have got one chance and stuck it away, but you could also argue that Liverpool would have scored 3 or 4 against effectively 10 men. 2/3 of the premier league need someone similar to the grafter, so he would probably only really be suitable for a top 6 team, but is he good enough for a top 6 team?

James Vaughan is a better all round player but even if he stayed fit i would have rhodes before him.... Goals win games and he will always outscore vaughan.

I agree and even think he'd be a cracking signing for Arsenal, but I still don't like reference to a fox in the box (i.e. someone who needs to be supplied) being single handedly responsible for getting us promoted.

You're right, Dammo played a big part as well Sorry I couldn't resist.

Just to summarise...
He's rubbish (other than scoring goals) His positional play is rubbish (clearly getting in those goal scoring positions is a fluke and he's been kicked into those positions) He can't head a ball that well...
Given the above I expect the respective Uniteds will be considering a cheeky bid in the summer - Brackenhall or Almondbury will have a decent player on their books...
There must clearly be something holding the lad back from making the next leap in his career but don't think his competencies will be the thing holding him back...

Who is this Jordan Rhodes you speak of? Is this the player we sold for 8 million 2 and half years ago who under no circumstances wanted to remain a town player (his words not mine) who has "massively" furthered his career or lined his pocket (not sure what's more important to the bloke?) by joining the world beaters Blackburn? I've taken his departure well! I'm currently down to three pills a day but probe to relapses especially when new threads appear!

Sure I heard somewhere we get 25% sell-on profit, so if he went to Boro for £12 million, we would get £1 million.

He singlehandedly got us promoted and for that reason he will always be a town legend imo No he didnt. He put us in the frame a few times but all of the team who took those penalties got us promoted. Blackburn have come to realise what many of us all knew that when the chips are down rhodes is as tough as a kitten, not forgetting getting his dad to harass deano

Dont agree any player single handily got us promotion but if one player did it was smithies, saved pens then scored the winning one,if he hadn't done that then not one of rhodes goals would of counted for shit.
