    My thoughts exactly, why wouldnt ipswich be looking at that deal? To move from huddersfield to that shower of a club is insane, surely somebody in the prem will now nip in, blackburn ffs

    Rhodes can score goals and will get a boat load on the end of Morten Gamst Pedersens supply at that level.

    I rate the kid and after all, we spunked the same amount on Wickham?

    Without doubt, however, he scores goals anyway without mgp, if this is the best he can get then premiership gaffers must see a flaw, £8m is alot and far too much for whickham it would seem

    The owners of this club won't be shelling out this much unless they're selling some ****er, probably Olssen, Dann and Nzonzi will be off imo

    Money well spent in my eyes, he is a natural goalscorer and will probably go on to win the golden boot this season.

    A bit gutted we haven't went in for him to be honest, massive difference between Rhodes and Wickham, we bought Wickham on potential. Rhodes is a proven goalscorer and a proven goalscorer will always score goals. Still think he's more than good enough for the premier league

    Doesn't always work for the step up unfortunately - you get a few kicks off John Terry and your head drops cos you don't score in 3 or 4 games - doesn't matter how natural a goalscorer you are, the defence in the PL is streets ahead of the defence in League 1

    That 8m is a lot but i reckon he'll score 20+ in the championship and if that gets them promoted then he's paid for himself really. Id straight swap Rhodes for Wickham any day
