    9mill is a joke
    Blackburn were nearly relegated to the first division
    Could pick up Remy for less than that who has made appearances for a strong French team

    This has got to be a wind up. Unproven at PL level and for £9 million we can get international class forwards.

    And we won't splash £9m on anyone if we go down. :(

    Jordan Rhodes or Charlie Austin would be a real good signing for £4m but at 9? A straight forward no.

    This is why teams shop abroad for players. Ridiculous price for someone unproven at the top level.

    Were we not talking about Kevin Doyle when Wolves were relegated from premier league? Would he be an option now ? I'm not suggesting at our main man but at least some depth in the squad.

    I'd take Rhodes in an instant.
    The guy is a born goal scorer and we could do with one of those next season.

    Yeah he is a good player. I never concern myself with value for money, that is for the club to worry about. All I know is that Jordan Rhodes has really impressed me whenever I've watched him. Whether that be Huddersfield, Blackburn or the Socttish U21's. I watched him and Jamie Forrest rip the dutch young lads a new one in a 2-1 in Holland. The Dutch had a decent side out too with Fer, Clasie, Van Dijk, De Vrij etc.

    He is a natural goalscorer and a 100% all the time. He has a nice touch, good technical levels and has an intelligence about his play. I like Charlie Austin too from the lower leagues. I don't mind if we go that route because we either don't fancy more non british players or can't attract the right quality.
