Futures Red 11 #1 Posted February 26, 2017 ... or is he? So you've seen him play. He's scored 1 out of how many games (not sure) and missed a critical penalty which could decide on your entire season. You've got to buy him for £10,000,000 at the end of the season, on the promise of having him on loan. So is he worth the £10,000,000 and his £2,000,000 + each year in wages? Should the money have been better spent on creative midfielders, full backs or central defence? Had he improved you as a whole? Is he a waste of money? I only ask this because Wednesday fan's seem split? Whether your answer is yes or no... why? Genuine thread, please don't spoil it.

NERVY-OWL 195 #2 Posted February 26, 2017 Most teams in the championship would of jumped at the chance to sign him. Not sure the price we're paying but I thought it was more like 8 million. I said at the time only signing him wasn't going to solve our issues but I still wanted him. The good thing is in the summer we now don't need to sign a striker, with Rhodes, winnall and hooper at least we have goals there, now he can concentrate on solving the creativity issue in the team Share this post Link to post Share on other sites Share this content via...

Do you think that the strikers you've names are PL material? Share this post Link to post Share on other sites Share this content via...
NERVY-OWL 195 #4 Posted February 26, 2017 Thats the hope but there's no guarantee. If we did go up then no probably aren't good enough but then we'd have however millions to spend on new players. If we stay in this league then those strikers should be good enough for a promotion push if we improve the midfield enough Share this post Link to post Share on other sites Share this content via...

top4718 838 #7 Posted February 26, 2017 You can't really judge a player who's hardly played this season in his first five games at a new club, Rhodes is a fine striker but all our forwards have fed on scraps this season so it's hardly surprising he's not been prolific as yet. If we don't go up which is very possible a full pre-season and a few buys in the summer will I'm sure prove his worth. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites Share this content via...
