I don't recall exactly. Not quite. 4 in 9 home league games from August-November. Edited April 6, 2022 by MarkBRFC Quote

It's so sad from a football fans point of view seeing talent like Rhodes having their career derailed and ability wiped out because as mostly always they chose to chase the bigger money. Probably the most natural goalscorer that we've had since Shearer(and Garner before him) Looks like Adam Armstrongs career is now also going that way 😞 Edited April 6, 2022 by Armchair supporter supremo Quote

tomphil Posted April 6, 2022 Posted April 6, 2022 To be fair to Rhodes he was chasing the Prem dream and he knew he'd never get that here. For all we know he took a pay cut to leave as here he was netting an alleged 45k pwk. Even if it wasn't that it was def around 35 grand so if it was only about money he could have stayed until and seen out his deal. Shame how its worked out as although he was never good enough for Prem football he is a lot better than the last few years have appeared. 2 Quote

Mattyblue Posted April 6, 2022 Posted April 6, 2022 Jordan Rhodes must be one of the biggest earners there’s been to only ever have played a handful of top flight games. Fair play to him! Quote

One way or another, he'll soon be in the PL. 1 Quote

One of the greatest in premier league history (as his stats make obvious) Cole in the 18 months or so he was here, we probably got 2 good monthsout of him. Jansen, great player for us obviously and had many attributes that made him a far superior player all around than Rhodes, but purely as a "finisher" inside the area Rhodes was better, but Rhodes lack of attributes in most other areas meant he was not Premier league standard unlike Jansen 1 Quote
roverandout Posted April 6, 2022 Posted April 6, 2022 Hakan sukur was a great loan signing. Remember his goals v Fulham. Wonder why it was never made permanent Quote

Cole and Jansen did it at the highest level with silverware and caps to show for it - if it hadn't been for Jansen's accident, I think he would have become a Rovers' 'great' with great reserved for the likes of Shearer, Tugay etc. IMO, Rhodes was a 'flat track bully' found wanting at PL level whilst Armstrong seems to be in the same mould.
