Stevoboro 70 Posted September 28, 2015 Share Posted September 28, 2015 Sorry to drag him up again !!! Does anyone think we will be in for him in January ?? Link to post Share on other sites
Borodane 6,246 Posted September 28, 2015 Share Posted September 28, 2015 No. Venkys won't sell to a championship side and I don't think we have the money anymore for such an expensive player after signing Nugent and de Pena. Link to post Share on other sites
Will 2,958 Posted September 28, 2015 Share Posted September 28, 2015 I never wanted him, We don't need him, Venkys wont sell him. He was always a plan B to Nugent who was AK's Number 1 target in his first summer transfer window, Rhodes only came into the picture after Nugent re-signed for Leicester last summer. I honestly believe Karanka when he says that Nugent was our Number 1 transfer target, even more so having seen him play in our team. Link to post Share on other sites
Ever_the_optimist 41 Posted September 28, 2015 Share Posted September 28, 2015 No chance. Unfortunately for Jordan I think the Venkys burned their bridges. After a strong start, & all of our forwards in scoring form and the formation flexibility they offer, I don't really think we need him. Link to post Share on other sites
Stevoboro 70 Posted September 28, 2015 Author Share Posted September 28, 2015 Ok I'm sure your right. Just thought with him banging them in again and if we were say clear at the top but Nugent/Stuani got injured. Would Gibbo see it as so close to the prem that hey ho and take a gamble ? Just a thought. Link to post Share on other sites
Red Rocket 244 Posted September 28, 2015 Share Posted September 28, 2015 We've spent 15 million, Rhodes would cost near enough that on his own. It's never gonna happen now because we don't have that kind of money. I'm happy with the squad we have, it's fantastic. Link to post Share on other sites
Stevoboro 70 Posted September 28, 2015 Author Share Posted September 28, 2015 Oh yes I agree squad is great, but if a injury to Nugent say would you be confident with Kike up front ? Link to post Share on other sites
Red Rocket 244 Posted September 28, 2015 Share Posted September 28, 2015 I'd stick Stunai up top, he can play in any position. We might get a loan in, if that happens but we won't buy Rhodes. We can't afford him. And Kike was playing well until he got dropped so yes, I do have some faith in the lad. Link to post Share on other sites
BillyWoofs_shinpad 1,884 Posted September 28, 2015 Share Posted September 28, 2015 Don't forget, we've got Robbie Keane to come in January, so Rhodes wouldn't get anywhere near the starting line up. ;) Link to post Share on other sites
p_mards 1,363 Posted September 28, 2015 Share Posted September 28, 2015 I wouldn't want him for the price that he will cost as we already have good strikers. I'd be far more tempted at the prospect of Bamford returning on loan. I think we would be open to loaning Kike out to another Championship team if we manage to land Bamford.

ManBearPig 1,833 Posted September 28, 2015 Share Posted September 28, 2015 Whilst I thought that Rhodes would have been perfect for us at the time, I really do think that Nugent is exactly what we need. He is clinical and works his socks off. Plus he has the experience of going up with Leicester which could be invaluable as the season goes on. I rate Rhodes alot, but I think Nugent brings a balance and work ethic to our attack whereas Rhodes just scores. Nuge makes goals from his work, rather than Rhodes who gets the service.

"KM" 1,656 Posted September 28, 2015 Share Posted September 28, 2015 Nope think we will go for him next summer if we go up as we won't be Blackburn's 'rival' then ;) I definitely think we'll strengthen further in Jamuary though. SG will have learnt from last season and that season under Mowbray when we were flying and then only brought in Kieron Dyer :/ bringing in a fresh face or two will keep everyone on their toes. Names I think we should look at is Dwight Gayle (again), Kennedy from Chelsea and Pritchard Totally forgot about Bamford anarl. He wasn't even in Palace squad on Sunday?

Tom 2,492 Posted September 29, 2015 Share Posted September 29, 2015 Don't forget, we've got Robbie Keane to come in January, so Rhodes wouldn't get anywhere near the starting line up. ;) Don't know how him and Villa are going to fit in to be honest. Link to post Share on other sites
