Why on earth are all these ex-players wanting to return to Huddersfield? This is not coincidence.

Good article by Chicken covering this. Have to agree with all he says.
As an aside, what a difference he is as a reporter compared his predecessor.

Think it’s well documented and argued that in recent years Jordan’s career has stalled based on chasing the money etc.
Can’t really blame him to be fair. If we take Town out of it, leaving a promoted League One team to a team not long out of the Premier League with a chance to fight at the top end would be a no brainier.
His move to Boro, again, decent money and Premier League/Top end Championship.
The move to Massive (Dad working there at the time) and again big money but just not worked.
As at June 30 his wage is £0.00. A chance for him to maybe look at where he can actually enjoy his football again and get back that scoring touch.

Hopefully he's had decent financial advice and doesn't need anything above 'bog standard' wages with appearance and goal bonuses. |

There's got to be a good reason why Wednesday hardly use him given the predicament they find themselves in
Ignore for a minute that this is one of our former players who scored a lot of goals for us. He has scored something like 25 goals in his last 145 appearances. With stats like that we will be better off sticking with Danny Ward

In defence of Rhodes, he's always been fairly injury free hasn't he? If we can provide the service, he will fire. I wouldn't be against him coming back but ONLY on the right terms in respect of wages & contract length.

Wednesday have had a few managers while Rhodes has been there and not one has stuck with him up top. We should be trying to find the next Jordan Rhodes rather than the one long past his best |

We should be trying to find the next Jordan Rhodes rather than the one long past his best As you alluded to, can you imagine the furore if we signed someone else with an identical record and qualities as Rhodes. An out and out goal scorer, who hasn't even done well at that for years. He was unbelievably good for 3 or 4 years, but that was a long time ago and some of it was in League One. I'm not completely averse to him coming back, if he takes a big cut in wages, but I can't see him being a regular starter with how we set-up (and most other teams, for that matter). Pointing out one off chances he'd have more likely scored is pretty meaningless. |

One thing that this season has taught me.
You can never have too many strikers in your squad.

We know he can score goals. Imagine Rhodes getting the service Campbell has... Plus, with reasonable wages (no idea whether that's possible) could be a brilliant free transfer. With a fresh start, maybe he will find his former self? |

I’m sure Mr Hoyle came out and said about Rhodes, whether it was directly from him or his dad/agent “he under no circumstances wants to play for Huddersfield town again!” Went after the money, his choice granted but is this what we’ve sunk too now? What’s pilks, Alan Alan lee and peltier up too these days? Yes, Mr Hoyle did say that and who would ever doubt a word he said?  |

Throw in Rhodes' strike rate being lower than Campbell's over the last 5 years & I'm thinking there may be better options even if he took a huge pay cut. |

The number of balls we get in the box and the chances Campbell gets... he's going to score more goals. His movement is far better, particularly the near post runs. I'll take a lower work rate for more goals. |

Wasn't that impressed with Rhodes last night. I just don't think he's got what it takes to fill the role of a modern striker unfortunately. You can still see he makes intelligent runs in the penalty area and would get a few goals from that alone but his all round game is well below that of Campbell.

Would be very interested to see Niasse and Sanogo - if they’re up for it those two plus Koroma would do for me. And move Campbell and Ward on. That said, I wouldn’t be against Campbell on a 12 month deal on reduced terms to reflect him being cover rather than first choice. |

Adding to his Dad Wednesday link, Steve Agnew was coach at Middlesboro when he went there - he is Jordan's Uncle! (which means Rhodes will maybe sign for Newcastle if they get relegated?!). |
