oldjamfan1 Posted December 17, 2015 Posted December 17, 2015 His family live on Jack's Key at the top end of Darren. I play golf sometimes with his uncle, apparently he's on stupid money at Cardiff. Yeah they are a very sporty family the Pilkingtons. Good swimmers if I remember correctly. His dad, Neil, was in my class at school, a lovely lad and not a bad player himself. I think his mum was in the year below us. Funnily enough I met Neil outside the Darwen End when Norwich played at Ewood a few years back (we won 2-0 I think) and he told me Anthony would get a kicking if he scored that day. I think he only made an appearance as a late substitute. You could tell he enjoyed scoring against Bolton recently!! Don't think we would match his wages at the moment tbh. By all accounts his brother Danny was the more talented of the two - but Anthony worked harder to get to where he is.

Salgado Is Still A Hero Posted December 17, 2015 Posted December 17, 2015 Would be very irritating considering we could have had him in the summer... but i'd love Adam Le Fondre. Am I right in saying that he's only on loan at Wolves? He's just a lesser version of Rhodes imo, same with Danny Graham.
AdamRochina Posted December 17, 2015 Posted December 17, 2015 Someone on Facebook has said kenywne Jones is a real target for us, says he doesn't bullshit lie, he has been right on a few to be fair ..His uncle works for the club and Contact has been made for Jones and he's coming to end of his contract, wages may be stumbling block
AdamRochina Posted December 17, 2015 Posted December 17, 2015 Sorry for the curse word I was literally copying what he put at the time

Gav Posted December 17, 2015 Posted December 17, 2015 Someone mentioned Peter Crouch to me, not sure what his circumstances are at the moment.

Mani Posted December 17, 2015 Posted December 17, 2015 I expect us to sell Rhodes in the transfer window and strengthen the squad. Some will scoff at that but we need pace and power up front in this league as we look to implement Lambert's style. We are stronger at the back and no longer need to score two or three to win. If he doesn't move on, I can see sense in flogging Marshall instead. Both players aren't making an impact that justifies their place in the team. I reckon a very decent loan signing will come in. Tin hat is firmly on. I think this is an extremely valid opinion. As I have been saying for years now, those inside of football are extremely retisant to back Rhodes. The reason being that his game other than goals is non existent. Common consensus is that we've played with 10 men for the last four games. My view is that PL would likely sell if he could use the money but that Venkys will insist Rhodes stays and still back him. I would sign Clough and Davies from Bolton to start.

Not sure who would stump up the £12m Hull were prepared to offer though. Maybe Boro?
pick32 Posted December 17, 2015 Posted December 17, 2015 Struggle to replace his goals, though he had no service against Brighton and can't think of another striker in our division which would of even thought about attempting that diving header
beanie Posted December 17, 2015 Posted December 17, 2015 If we have funds for a few players without selling him we would be mad to let him go
Mercer Posted December 17, 2015 Posted December 17, 2015 T'word on street is that Lambo doesn't see Rhodes as irreplaceable in the slightest. Not sure who would stump up the £12m Hull were prepared to offer though. Maybe Boro? Big problem is that the Rhodes' market has collapsed. As things stand, doubt very much if Rovers would get even half of that £12million now. We now see a striker 'struggling' in a team on an eight match unbeaten run and his contribution has been 2 goals in 8 matches, one of which a penalty, and truth be told, not much more. Have little doubt the the 'Rhodes' issue' is huge in Lambo's mind.

Bucksrover Posted December 17, 2015 Posted December 17, 2015 Just hope we can get good results before the transfer window opens. Then I am looking forward to see what Lambert does. Still no Olsson news. Hope that gets sorted
Backroom Mike E Posted December 17, 2015 Backroom Posted December 17, 2015 Good happily keep him add a few decent players to this squad with our 20 goal striker up top I'd be happy with that. Better than selling Rhodes would be replacing Delfouneso and Brown. Rhodes, Koita, and Kenwyne Jones (as alleged) sounds good to me!
beanie Posted December 17, 2015 Posted December 17, 2015 Better than selling Rhodes would be replacing Delfouneso and Brown. Rhodes, Koita, and Kenwyne Jones (as alleged) sounds good to me! It definitely sounds better than what we have a midfielder who can open teams up as well and we would be in a much better place.

Tyrone Shoelaces Posted December 17, 2015 Posted December 17, 2015 Russell Slade comments on Kenwyne Jones future at Cardiff http://www.walesonline.co.uk/sport/football/football-news/cardiff-city-manager-russell-slade-10614368 He's got every attribute you need to play up front but one - attitude. If that can be sorted out you've got a good'un, Trouble is nobody so far has managed to motivate him regularly.
tomphil Posted December 17, 2015 Posted December 17, 2015 I'd definitely take a punt on Jones but wouldn't really want him as a direct replacement to Rhodes. If we are going for him as prime striker and target man we'd need another bloody good poacher to go with him.
Norbert Rassragr Posted December 18, 2015 Posted December 18, 2015 Jones is a bit rubbish, but better than Brown and our strikers that aren't Rhodes. How about Gabby, if we could afford it? http://www.birminghammail.co.uk/sport/football/football-news/gabby-agbonlahor-aston-villa-boss-10615866
Mani Posted December 18, 2015 Posted December 18, 2015 Nzogbia being allowed to leave Villa... In full flow he'd be an amazing signing for us!!
roversoutsider Posted December 18, 2015 Posted December 18, 2015 What's Knoackaert upto? Haven't seen him around the leicester team. Was class in the championship.
