Bring Rhodes back at the end of the season....by which time, he'll be fully tuned into League One opposition, standards, etc. Just the man to then lead Town through their new life in that unfamiliar division.

Rhodes is our player contracted to us so nobody would pretend hes a new signing...Ward Ruffels and Koroma werent our players anymore,so werent 'like' new signings last summer, they were new signings. Letting Rhodes go was ridiculous when we hadnt signed a replacement. Basically left us relying on ward to stay fit otherwise wed have kids and novices. One way or another Im sure they'll put that mistake right in January. This. I just assumed that we were going to announce an incoming striker within 24 hours when he left - same as we only let Bilo go once Maxwell was in. Letting him go without replacement was daft. |

His contract runs out at the end of the season. Irony, because I can see he's exactly the sort of player we'll need next season. |

It may well be highlighting the clubs commitment (or the lack of it). |

He must be hoping he doesn’t get recalled.
Playing in a good Team with a good Manager that can score goals and create chances.
He won’t get a through ball here never mind score a goal.
I hope for your sake Jordan the Club leaves you where you are.

Another way of asking that question is which of our strikers would stand out in League one? JR has, would any others? |

If his contract runs out in the summer I think he's allowed to sign a pre contract with another club in January?

Would imagine we could get a fee and wages off the books selling Rhodes to league 1. I think it's time to move on from the past, like wanting warnock back. It's unfortunate that the first stage of moving on has been an absolute disaster.

I would recall him. Otherwise Blackpool are effectively to get the division’s leading goal scorer for free.
Then sell him. I would be amazed if we didn’t at least get something for him.
However , he is better than Hudlin & Harratt.
So if we are not going to sign a decent striker we have no option but to keep him.

He might though be able to do a job off us in our preferred flat back 10 formation / set-up. |

Rhodes is having a great season in league one
He should have never been signed again in the first place - on a 3 year contract crikey
He shouldn’t be near our championship team but given the current squad if we play 2 up then he probably should be - he’s a better option than others we have. We have to sign 2 strikers in January or 1 and being Rhodes back we can’t rush going into March without a central striker
But it’s a bit of a daft discussion - he’s a player who works well in an attacking team where you create chances
But that’s not what we do - are those suggesting he be recalled really thinking he’d score many in the way we play? Do you really want him to be the lone striker with nobody 30 yards away? Think he’d run the long hopeful ball in the channel?
Or are you assuming Moore suddenly is going to get us on the front foot crosses in bodies forward with Rhodes back? And we’re able to do that effectively in the championship to create chances for Rhodes?
Please explain your thinking

We are in a relegation scrap - his goals could be crucial. 100% bring him back but also sign another central striker. With a decent new addition, plus Rhodes and ward central, flanked by the likes of Koroma, Sorba and Burgzorg then some good options there.
However, all reliant on having a manager who is capable of playing attacking football and getting the best out of them.

It’s simply a no-brainer to bring him back because he’s obviously better than what we currently have. Of course he won’t score as many goals in our team, but he might take the odd chance if we ever create any.

My concern is that our powers that be, who are clearly out of touch with English football (as it stands), are going to assume that a Jordan Rhodes banging them in in League One is good enough to bang them in in the Championship.
Nothing they've done so far gives me any confidence that they have a clue how this division runs.
I don't trust Moore's intelligence to tell them otherwise.

It’d be nice, but they cost money. We’ve let Rhodes and Holmes go because we couldn’t afford their wages apparently, so not sure we’ll be splashing out in January. Maybe a decent loan instead? |

We are the 4th lowest scorers in the division. We have the chance to bring in the top scorer from the division below. I don't really understand how this is a question, get him straight back. There is no chance we are going to sign a player remotely as good as him with our recent transfer record.

He’s thriving at the moment, perhaps because he’s starting games? I’m not sure of his overall record, but presumably he’s being subbed in a few games in the second half?
It’s a whole different mentality, actually being picked to start games vs being on the bench.
I’d be happy to recall him, but if he’s going to sit on the bench from the off I doubt he’ll be that interested, his mindset would probably drop I expect.
Difficult one, because at the moment, our style of play is just frustrating and a ratio of 1:4 with regards to front foot/back foot football.

He’s definitely not the answer long term, but his form can’t be ignored. As posters have already mentioned, he’s better than the strikers we’ve got and even if he comes off the bench, it at least gives us an option to potentially change the game.

The problem is much deeper rooted than Moore. |
