Fletcher's record in the PL speaks for itself. He was doing very well for Sunderland before injury cut his season short.

I'd certainly do a straight swap of Fletcher for Rhodes in our situation ..... although they could play together if Rhodes had the ability and inclination to drop deeper and play behind and off Fletcher...... I'm not entirely sure that he has though.

Celtic couldn't afford him I don't think. Newcastle and Sunderland maybe.

I think Celtic probably could afford him if they really wanted him, especially if they sell Hooper.

I'd be more surprised if Rhodes wanted to go there if he has the option of playing in the Prem.

To be fair though, Jordan has been prolific for a good 3/4 seasons now, with one season ending with over 40 goals.

Murray and Austin, to my admittedly ignorant knowledge, have only had one good season each.

Griffiths did it in the Scotland league. I'm 30 and a goalkeeper, but would score 30 goals in the Scottish top league.

I rhink rhodes has shown so far that he has a bit more class than those players and he also seems to have a much better mentality.

Im not saying hes top top(drogba, rooney,etc..) forward, but i do think he will easily score you a good 15-20 goaps a season so would make a great squad player for any team,

my other point was like i said those top teams regularly spend millions buying young foreign forwards that have no english football experiance and little experiance ofany kind and usual go onto to be flops, it would be go to see them take a punt on a young British player

Why aren't they looking at Glenn Murray or Charlie Austin*? Don't build Rhodes into something he's not!

*or even Leigh Griffiths...

On the basis of our game against Palace at Ewood, Rhodes is better than Murray by a distance. Both had a chance in exactly the same position, Rhodes' was running at full pelt onto a ball that was curling away from goal with a defender breathing down his neck, scored. Murray's was with time and the ball at his feet, missed. Plus Murray had the best player in the league supplying him with ammo and only finished 1 goal ahead of Rhodes.

As I said to the Huddersfield fan Ben, there are very few players able to make the jump up to Premiership level from the Championship or below, I don't think Rhodes is good enough yet in his all-round play to make much of an impact.

He does have lots of natural ability and is only young, so might develop into a better allround player,

For his career it would be best to stay playing every game in the Championship than getting a handful of starts in the Premiership. There are plenty of examples who have flopped in the PL and their careers tailed off.

Own goals don't count.

notice rhodes is the model for our latest kit. surely a sign he`s staying at the club?

So if Newcastle come in with £12 million bid tomorrow...."No can do sorry, we've done our kit photoshoot already"

It doesn't mean anything really, it all depends on what other clubs do from now until the end of the window. If any PL club comes in for him at around £10 million then he's gone imo.

Shearer did the same. No relevance whatsoever.

well charlie austin ain`t modelling any of their gear and their fans feel it`s highly significant, but of course you know better than everyone else, don`t you?

hahaha, newcastle aren`t bidding 12m, and neither is anyone else, you know it and so do i. imo 10m wouldn`t get him either..

That doesn't work though, it's not the same thing. An absence of Austin might mean they're preparing to sell him.

That doesn't mean the reverse of a player appearing in photos means he's staying is true.
