I've no idea if any of this relates to any previous posts I havent read. All I saw was "I'd rather have Rhodes. How many of you think that it's a lot to pay for someone who's never scored in the PL" and that on it's own is a stupid post. Why wouldnt somebody correct it?
 
Looking at that he is clearly rapid and his first touch seems okay if that is anything to go by.

I know it's only a Youtube vid but still.
 
I hope it works out if he signs but on Bruce's own admission our European scouting set up is ****. The price looks very high due to the various risks already expressed on this thread.

I'm sorry if you were misled only many who are peeing their pants about signing an injury prone (119 games in 6 seasons) player from the Italian League who has a reported bad attitude, a not so hot goal scoring record (31 in the same six seasons) & has never played in the PL for almost £10m are the same people who thought paying £10m for a Championship player who has scored 126 goals in 219 appearances over the same six seasons was far too much to pay as he'd never played in the PL.

When you consider 83 of Hernandez's appearances & 17 of his goals have come in 5 seasons in Italy's top flight it appears a far riskier move, to me.

Rhodes, IMO, is an excellent player & would not only be a worthy & better investment (even at £15m), he would score far more goals than Hernandez ever will or Long ever would.

Well yes, everything you say there I completely agree with. I just didnt know you were responding to other people's worries about Rhodes cos I didnt read said posts. I took your post completely on its own merit.

My fault really :emoticon-0148-yes:
 
Do we think this could be completed today if the reports of the medical are true? undecided to be fair on whether it is a good move. Guess goals and time will tell.
