According to Mick Mills, he left Ipswich too early. I would agree with that and wonder if the same will be said of Jordan Rhodes?? http://www.bbc.co.uk/sport/0/football/19559534
I doubt he had much choice, £8m (reported) up front + addons....you'd be daft not to accept it. I personally don't think he's any better than the likes of Harry Kane, quite similar moulds I'd say.
Just a case of a player who had physically developed alot earlier than his peers. Now they've caught up he's just a run of the mill Championship player at best.
