Snowblind 1,734 Posted May 22, 2016 Share Posted May 22, 2016 Stop being a Naughty Boy, Naughty Boy, you Naughty, Naughty Boy. ;) In all seriousness, I can't see Rhodes being the one who caused all the trouble. He's had nothing but good things said about his character throughout his entire career. The name(s) I've been told of are characters who I know for certain have been guilty of douchbaggery in the past... Link to post Share on other sites
Borodane 6,301 Posted May 22, 2016 Share Posted May 22, 2016 Some people get a kick out of talking BS just to wind people up... Very sad people they are. I don't know who you are referring to, but I haven't seen BWS spouting BS before and in this case he is putting forward his thoughts and what he has heard. He is certainly not trying to wind people up like previous trolls we have had on here. Link to post Share on other sites
CurtisFleming 86 Posted May 22, 2016 Share Posted May 22, 2016 I think Rhodes will be gone this summer. Fancy a bet on that? That would be a difficult bet to consider, the odds would be stacked hugely in your favour as its not easy to get rid of a £9m player, especially when premier league teams don't seem that interested. I would be willing to bet, that this summer, we'll buy a replacement for Rhodes, a better striker who will be AKs main man. What happens after that will depend on how Rhodes reacts, whether the club think it's worth keeping Rhodes as backup or whether they can get a decent price for him. If he stays I'd be very willing to bet that he starts a lot less games than the striker that is bought in to replace him ( baring injuries of course). In answer to the original question, and I wish I'd just put this to start with....no, I don't think Rhodes will be our loan striker in the premiership, it will be someone else. Well that opinion is a lot different to ''Rhodes will be gone this summer' Link to post Share on other sites
BillyWoofs_shinpad 1,884 Posted May 22, 2016 Share Posted May 22, 2016 As you know, there are no certainties in football, my original comment was, "I think Rhodes will be gone, this summer" I'm not sure why that statement was met with a torrent of abuse, leading to allegations of substance abuse, trolling and general insanity. I dont think it was s provocative statement, but hey ho, we'll just have to wait and see. Apologies for the misspelling of lone, most embarrassing. Link to post Share on other sites

I respect both versions, but I am more inclined to go along with the latter. Link to post Share on other sites

'I think Rhodes will be gone in the summer' Is a lot different to 'We might buy another striker' God this forum is hard work sometimes. Link to post Share on other sites

boro-skander 1 Posted May 23, 2016 Share Posted May 23, 2016 Offloading Rhodes so soon won't make any sense. It's like expecting Lonesome George to find a wife on his own. The main problem behind the Rhodes in 4-2-3-1 lies in a lack of an effective 2nd striker in the hole. Ramirez is a 10, not a false 9. The nearest bloke who can play as the false 9 behind Rhodes will be Kike II. Given how he had to endure the nightmare last time round, I'm not sure if AK will want to play with fire. It's always extremely damning if you're forced to choose between form and tactical needs instead of both. Either way, we'll need to play compact and upfront if we're to try imagining Rhodes scoring under this kind of circumstances. Not to mention having 2 out of 3 attacking players supporting him up close. Link to post Share on other sites

I may be out of the loop with all these new "positions" but I thought the point of a false 9 was that the opposition thought he was playing as a number 9 but he drops deep and doesn't, leaving his team with no outright forward. Not sure how you can play a false 9 with a 9. Wouldn't that make him a number 10??? Link to post Share on other sites

False 9 is term that people like to use but don't really fully understand it, kind of like 'moneyball' Link to post Share on other sites
