"KM" 1,656 Posted February 2, 2016 Author Share Posted February 2, 2016 Hopefully De Downing will slip the ball through to De Rhodes for him to score. I swear to god if he doesn't score a hat trick this weekend it will be the biggest anti climax ever :P I hope he goes straight into the team, could be the spark we need to get things moving on the pitch again. Still can't believe we've signed him. Link to post Share on other sites
MMC 987 Posted February 2, 2016 Share Posted February 2, 2016 By the way this might be relevant with regards to our new lad De Sart: http://www.lavenir.net/cnt/dmf20160201_00773542?utm_source=twitter&utm_medium=socialSP&utm_content=article&utm_campaign=seeding If you translate at the bottom it mentions that the fee is expected to be around £1 million, it's the first I've seen mentioned of it. Sounds like a good piece of business, reading into things he has been an integral player of the side, then was injured and Standard went under 3 different coaches in quick succession, the 3rd of which had a fallout with him and made him train with the reserve teams earlier this month. He's highly rated and seen as a player with very good potential, we might have gotten him at a bit of a snip due to him falling out with the manager. His stats are pretty impressive too for a defensive midfielder, 3 goals and 7 assists in 47 games in the Belgian top flight. As mentioned with his injuries his gametime has been limited, 7 starts and 5 sub appearances in their league this season. Also he has twitter as well, already changed his banner picture to him at the boro, good lad ;) Link to post Share on other sites
Tom 2,492 Posted February 2, 2016 Share Posted February 2, 2016 I like that the fourth CM spot is finally filled by a player who isn't just a wasted loan. Veljkovic, Stephens, Zuculini may have all been great players, but were just never going to dislodge Aitor's main two. I always thought that the other backup spot alongside Forshaw should be either an experienced head (as Whitehead was last season) or a young prospect, but not one who was on loan from a Prem team, as they'd be kicking up a fuss over lack of minutes. So this signing could prove to be a very good one, particularly as fixtures and bookings stack up. Link to post Share on other sites
Borodane 6,246 Posted February 2, 2016 Share Posted February 2, 2016 Wonder how long we have been following this Sart fella? Is he a product of Ortas knowledge/contact? Link to post Share on other sites
wilsoncgp 9,230 Posted February 2, 2016 Share Posted February 2, 2016 It might take a while for Ramirez to get up to speed Have you seen that goatee? That's a man who is up to speed! He's certainly up to something... Link to post Share on other sites
gephind 7 Posted February 2, 2016 Share Posted February 2, 2016 What is Rhodes's wage?http://www.gazettelive.co.uk/sport/football/transfer-news/three-in-one-out-link-10822213 Link to post Share on other sites
wilsoncgp 9,230 Posted February 2, 2016 Share Posted February 2, 2016 Always want to know what the squad numbers are, I reckon: De Laet - 5 Rhodes - 11 Ramirez - 21 De Sart - 16 Link to post Share on other sites
LinoJo3 3,098 Posted February 2, 2016 Share Posted February 2, 2016 This will be the first time Rhodes has played in a team at the top of this league aswell won't it? Last 2 teams have been mid table. Link to post Share on other sites
juninho9 35 Posted February 2, 2016 Share Posted February 2, 2016 I'm doing the M/D thread by the way everybody so I'll try and get it posted this evening for you all. Lots to talk about! Link to post Share on other sites
redgord 2 Posted February 2, 2016 Share Posted February 2, 2016 That was an interesting transfer window Rhodes On/Off/On. To buy the most consistent striker in this division, we now need to utilise him and not leave him isolated. I work with a few Huddesfield fans who think that if we get promoted then they are due £2million from the Rhodes deal and another £1million from the Clayton deal. Anyone else hear about this? On the MFC website it says tickets for Leeds nearly sold out, I could not make the original Saturday fixture but due to it being played on Monday 15th Feb I'm off. I've bought a ticket, they are priced £37 plus a £2.50 booking fee. What a rip off!!!!! Link to post Share on other sites
Maccarone 264 Posted February 2, 2016 Share Posted February 2, 2016 It will be a shame to see Kike leave, if he does, worked hard and obviously had an affinity with the club. Good luck to him. Link to post Share on other sites
TheTeessideOne 4 Posted February 2, 2016 Share Posted February 2, 2016 This will be the first time Rhodes has played in a team at the top of this league aswell won't it?
