The Facebook and Twitter feeds were full of it. However, you're being selective. Looking at the ACTUAL thread from when he signed shows many people supporting the signing. And making the (usual) excuses that all the managers he played under were to blame for him not scoring many goals after 2015. downatthemac.proboards.com/thread/115838/rhodes-signedI couldn’t find it. Thanks for that. I’d say it’s about a 50/50 split there though. Certainly not fair to say ‘the fans’ when half were questioning it. |

It wasn't mutually exclusive for Rhodes to be welcomed back whilst also realising he wasn't going to bag 30 per season for us. Unfortunately one member of our community has the bit between his teeth so a two pager becomes a seven pager

You've been banned about 6 times yet just keep coming back and back and back . Same old same old. Ultimately the only person who loses is you . You distort absolutely everything people say . If I was to say "I think Rhodes has done ok in his second spell. Difficult to make a big impact whilst on the bench " then a week later you're saying " some on here thinking he's a world beater" NO . No one thinks that. It's paranoid distorted thinking. Your obsession with the goalkeeping coach was a good example. I know you are a self reflecting person . Maybe you need to have a little word with yourself? |

I guess it might cost us something to move him on since it will likely be L1 or L2 so I guess its not a foregone conclusion that he will be leaving.
Hopefully he gets a decent L1 club that plays two up front and he can start banging them in again. He's looked decent for us even playing as a loan striker but asking him to tear around up front on his own just doesn't play to his strengths. Be good to see him scoring again at the right club. Scored some vital goals for us in his second spell, definitely up there with Boothy and Stewie!

Too many people angling for a fight on this thread. Reel it in.
Fish puns to the rescue.

Didn’t he score the goal against Luton last season that took us to the play off final against Forest. Yes I know the rest is history but surely the financial benefits of that goal would have paid a huge chunk, if not all, what we are paying him.

Wonder if we will get a fee for him?
Was a necessary signing at the time, but if I remember correctly he was given quite a long contract which seemed unusual.

Big wage off the books. Would've been nice to see him hit the 100 goals mark for Town.
On another note, it's quite interesting to see the number of departures - the ones we kinda wanted to go - now we have an experienced 'Director of Football' on board.

Poor old Jordan... recent managers out there just don't rate him. He's always had the fundamental weakness that his all-round game just wasn't good enough to play as a lone striker. If he did, it immediately restricted his goal threat. Played as an out-and-out goalscorer - width of the penalty box, always on the shoulder, moving to get half a yard on the defender - there are still very few better. But managers want the all-round game and not just the finishing touch - which is why managers don't tend to rate him. Playing him puts more pressure on others, and although his all-round game is better than when he left in 2012, it's been at the cost of his utterly devastating goalscoring record. He just doesn't have the mobility to get into the box when he's held the ball up to finish the move, which more rounded strikers can do. His greatest attribute is as a finisher. If a manager can get him into the box, he'll score. It's as simple as that. It always has been. But there's always been a trade-off. We were a top League One side who could accommodate him and feed him time after time. Blackburn were able to get the ball to him, but they never excelled (although it's worth noting that as soon as they sold him, they went down - a goalscorer is a godsend in a poor side). Middlesbrough were looking for the finishing touches, but they never scored many anyway, and that's when it was clear that the trade-off was either goals or hold-up play, never both. In a good League One side, that trade-off should be minimal. Play to his strengths and Blackpool will get goals out of him. A couple of goals quickly, and he'll get 20+, because that's what he does in a side set up to his benefit. We weren't going to do that and although the sentimental side of me is disappointed to see him depart before he could complete his 100 goals for us, I do think it's the correct decision to free up wages if we're bringing in a more mobile, complete striker who combines goal threat with all-round play. |

Wonder if this is the last we'll see of him at the club? Be tough to see him work his way back in the side after the loan unless we're down in League 1.
A legend of the club and in my generation probably my favorite player to wear the Town shirt. Best of luck to the fella.

Best of luck to him..always gave his best in both spells and his goalscoring record in that first spell must put him high up on a few club records.
Im presuming another striker incoming is all but nailed on, because ive presumed all along that Rhodes would leave as soon as we had another one signed.

I doubt we’ll see JR play for Town again. I can only ever wish him well, he was the best finisher I’ve ever seen for Town (first spell). Not the best striker by a long shot, but the best finisher bar none, and for that he’ll always be fondly remembered and respected by most that saw him. Good luck JR and thank you.
Time to move on.
