And Marcus stewart played nearly 200 games for bristol rovers before you produced him. Roberts watford. Duncan Shearer highland league team and chelsea. You appear to have gone all Steve Kean on the facts there Ben.

Hands up lads and lassies, I seem to have suffered from momentarily lapsing into 'keaness' or suffering from a bout of 'keantitis'. Its a mixture of dementia, senility and madness combined.

thankfully the sight of Jordan Rhodes in a Town top snapped me out of it.

[dwayne cage]

Whatever team he's at i dont think he'll score more than 20 this season, if he goes to a PL team i'll be amazed if he gets more than 10

you are under-estimating him. In the premiership I 'think' he be a 20 goal a season player. that range of 17-22 goals would be my guesstimate.

[pick32]

Majority of Strikers in the prem could net 40 in league one but struggle to score 15 in prem.

[lukey]

is that cause league 1 is crap?

Exhibit A. David Goodwillie. The Jordan Rhodes of the SPL the season before last.

I dont think i am, i think he's a good player but don't think he's better than 90% of the top flights strikers. There will be some he's better than but most he's not.

For example Ricky Lambert, Billy Sharp, Vaz Te, Le Fondre, Pog, Carlton Cole (maybe) are probably all better than Rhodes and play for recently promoted teams, who are most likely (according to bookies) to go back down.

It would be bad business by Fulham to take such a gamble on an ex-league 1 player after failing to land Pog and losing Andrew Johnson and Zamora and now possibly Dempsey.

I have been having a bit of fun, but genuinely having seen all those players play ( lambert, sharp. La Fondre for down in league 1 and for southhampton, bristol rovers, donny, and rotherham etc), Seeing the others a fair bit on telly, Rhodes is better than all those mentioned.

[dwayne cage]

I like Le Fondre saw him play at Rochdale a few times, and he looked impressive, scored 13 goals for Reading in 33 games though and that shows how much harder it is to score when you go up a division.

[Ricky]

13 in 33 is pretty impressive still. Recall he came from the bench in a number of those as well.

I'd prefer him to Rhodes by miles to be honest

[Dunnfc]

We could realistically get:

Bothroyd - QPR

Vellios- Everton - Loan

Weimann- Aston Villa - Loan

Federico Macheda - Loan

Raheem Sterling - Loan

Billy Sharp

Sam Baldock - Loan

Connor Sammon

Jermaine Beckford

Stephen Dobbie

Lucas Piazon - Loan

John Guidetti

Alex Nimely - Loan

Roque Santa Cruz - Loan

Haris Vukic - Loan

So if all else fails on Rhodes, get someone else!

[Ricky]

Sammon has signed for someone in the Championship, can't think where it was.

[Pelio]

Derby County I think

Only 5 of them would make our first team

I fully expect seeing Ricardo Fuller's diamond earrings at Ewood Park on free transfer once the transfer window has shut and Singh has proven to be all talk.

Think you have rose tinted glasses on my pal. I think you are underestimating the jump from Leage 1 to Championship. Ched Evans banged in 35 goals for Shff United last year, and he certainly found it tough in both the Premier League & Championship in seasons prior.

[dwayne cage]

If i was us i would move on NOW!

[Salgado Is A Hero]

Fulham have bought Mladen Petric and Rodallega anyway so Rhodes wouldn't be starting......he will most likely be like Connor Wickham and barely play or Victor Moses and have to wait a year before he consistently gets a game.

We could realistically get:

Bothroyd - QPR

Vellios- Everton - Loan

Weimann- Aston Villa - Loan

Federico Macheda - Loan

Raheem Sterling - Loan

Billy Sharp

Sam Baldock - Loan

Connor Sammon

Jermaine Beckford

Stephen Dobbie

Lucas Piazon - Loan

John Guidetti

Would happily take Weimann.....I don't think they'll let him leave tho as I think Delfouneso probably is off and Heskey is already gone which means Bent and Agbonlahor are their only other strikers.....Billy Sharp obviously, would take a slight gamble on Bothroyd, he has looked really good for Cardiff in the past....some of them are more midfielders or wide players but are decent like Sterling, Piazon or Vukic.....don't want Macheda......do want Guidetti.

[dwayne cage]

A loan for Velios could easily be obtained Everton have a fair few Strikers now

[Dunnfc]

Apart from the list earlier i put up what about Johnny Russell from Dundee United. Theguy is talented and clinical, staright swapfor David Badwillie?

just signed for charlton so count that one out

Is that because you seen his goal on the weekend? ......what a strike if you haven't......Celtic have been interested for a while now, I don't know what he wants to do......they're probably the 2nd best team in the SPL so there's a good chance they could get European football and get to the group stages and possibly beyond if they strengthen a bit more and keep hold of Russell and Mackay-Stevens.......I would happily take him as he's a great prospect with serious pace but I'm not sure he would come as like I said, Celtic's interest is well known and they can hopefully offer him Champions League football.

My "if all else fails" free transfer attacking suggestions for Shebby;

Alessandro Del Piero

Micheal Owen

Ivan Klasnic

Somen Tchoyi

Angelo Balanta

Mamady Sidibe

James McFadden

Obviously a few jokers, and there aint much point in suggesting defenders!

there is paper talk that Huddersfield are looking at a joint bid of £4.5 million for both players. that was on Saturday.

http://www.sportinglife.com/football/transfer-centre/8000068/paper-talk

I've not heard anything so is just talk. We have had a scout up there watching them over all the games this season though and we signed our fullback dixon from them this summer. no bids but an interest I think.

papertalk at present though not bids or owt.

N.B. we don't to sell Rhodes to buy these players, just to be clear about that.
