[Archived] Jordan Rhodes

[Majiball]

I was going to kit them out in chicken suits but claret and blue is far funnier.

His team mates may appreciate his contribution but fans don't pay to watch Jason Lowe.

Au contraire Stu..... JR got paid hundreds of thousands to watch Lowe at close quarters for the past 9 weeks weeks.

We wouldn't be having this debate if Rhodes was English I'll wager.

He's as English as the George Cross as well you know. He just pretends to be scottish so that he can play international football.

[thenodrog]

.... had a poor game on Saturday imo, completely ineffectual and I doubt he touched the ball a dozen times.

Gotcha! Until Sat that would have applied perfectly to describe Jordan Rhodes performances over the past 9 weeks.

He moved to Scotland as a baby, stayed until he was 8, according to wiki.

Maybe he and his family like Scotland,

[thenodrog]

Therefore he is effectively English. I'll stand on what I said.

When he was first called up, he said ' I'm Scottish through and through, I had all the jerseys and grew up watching Scotland '

I think he probably stayed up there longer than 8 years, I was going off when his father signed for an English club, he must

have still been in school up there, by the sounds of it.

Sounds a bit Scottish to me and good luck to him.

Nice lad !

Just wait till he can apply for his passport.

That would be everyone else's fault Gord. If you don't give Lowe the service, how can he get involved?

Oh shut up you jumped ginge with way to much time on his hands(dont you ever actually work)

[thenodrog]

24/7. The unblinking eye. Do you have to 'clock on' cock?

I take it that you have no meaningful comment to make on my post?

[thenodrog]

I'd pay to watch 11 tugays win lose or draw

You need a ST for the Nou Camp then.

And this is how you choose to spend all that free time!

One of the benefits of working long hours for peanuts is that I know how to apreciate the small amount of spare money and time I do have on my hands.

Yep

P.s. Im actually typing this on works time(to kill a few seconds) so at least im getting paid for it

[West Yorks Rover]

'Sports Direct News' are reporting that Forest will be in for Jordan Rhodes if they fail to get Shane Long.

I'ts all starting again !

I doubt they have £8-10m to spend anyway.

[Stuart]

Don't worry WYR, it'll be a lot better when we are shut of him. He's not good enough for Rovers anyway.

I know it was in a lower league but he did'nt get too much criticism at Hudds, but he was used with a big striker most of

the time I believe, which would obviously make life easier for him.

He's certainly a class finisher and that works in any league if he gets the service, still has time to improve his game though

at only 23.

[yoda]

Is that not technically stealing?

[West Yorks Rover]

For all we know, he could be typing from his cell in ' Strangeways '

Only kidding Newts

Bloomin' heck Stuart. Poor old Jordan.

Tell you what, why don't you tackle the argument for a change instead of trying to put his weaknesses beyond discussion? Leave Jordan Rhodes out of the discussion.

I'll start you off - "it doesn't matter whether a lone striker can hold the ball up/win free kicks and give the other players more time to support him -and all the managers who think otherwise are wrong because".....................

I've made my point already den. But it's hard to resist reacting to the crap some people post to justify their changing views.

Like how people start talking about how he has improved just because he's scored, and calling him a one-trick-pony when he hasn't.

To put it another way...

Rhodes weaknesses are NOT the burning issue within our squad / gameplay but they seem to be exactly that on BRFCS.

You ok Stuart? You seem to have reverted to being 13 years old

Ps I've lost count of the time myself and others have said that's our final word on it this is all a bit pointless now in future lets at least try and make sure posts in here add to the debate

Hmmm?

That's no answer to my question at all Stuart. For starters, I asked that we leave Jordan out of it, in order to tackle the argument. If we were talking about the weaknesses of a lone front man at another club, my guess is that we would get a reasoned debate.

My answer to your question is that there are more pertinent questions surrounding our squad than ones which involve picking holes in our goalscorer.
