everton and southampton chase 10 million rated striker jordan rhodes

Probably just a personal thing but I'd rather have a "centre forward" who puts himself about and puts the s--ts up defenders.For that reason I'd like to see Shane Long at Goodson.

have to disagree mike, I want a goalscorer and not another workhorse (lukaku and not jelavic)

I agree with you mike! This new style of attacking/flair needs justifying with goals. Rhodes does appear to know where the goals are, but could he cope with the step up? He is young though so he would carry a sell on value unlike kone. Where does £10m come from though?

I think Rhodes would be a great buy, he will cost £10 million though because Blackburn paid 8 for him if my memory serves me right

5.) 28 Nov 2013
No way I would spend 10m on rhodes, would rather take a punt on Danny Inngs and would be cheaper than that. what's your thoughts on Inngs Ed?
Cheeks

{Ed025's Note - i like him cheeks, a big step up from burnley, but well woth a punt for me mate..

Should of got rhodes last jan for 5m when we were crying out for a goalscorer, the guuy scores for fun, calling jelavic a work horse is a stretch as well he dosnt even try hard

{Ed025's Note - rhodes is doing very well, but he is playing in the championship!, scoring in the prem is a different kettle of fish..

I've not seen much of Jordan Rhodes myself, but what I have seen, he doesn't seem to have much else to his game other than scoring goals, which is obviously what you need first and foremost in a striker but in the modern game having more qualities is a bonus. I do like Shane Long though, as a previous poster mentioned, he's a busy, pacey customer and is a handful on his day.

10m?

9.) 28 Nov 2013
Rhodes is pony, not good enough need a proven premeir league goalscorer FACT

10.) 28 Nov 2013
Isnt shane long out of contract in the summer

11.) 29 Nov 2013
Sorry Granville but this nonsense of a modem forward needing more to his game than scoring goals is the only reason we think it is ok for our number nine to get less than 20 goals
Bull crap 20 goals should be a minimum for a prem number nine!

12.) 29 Nov 2013
So let's get this right! When lukaku goes in the summer, we want Shane Long to replace him!! Come on blues, give your heads a wobble eh!

13.) 29 Nov 2013
And how many number 9's will score more than 20? They cost money. And I was advocating Shane Long as a possible replacement for Jela. Jeez
