Rhodes is a different style of striker to Wickham. Anybody who can score 40+ goals in a season, even in league 1, has something special about them. I will continue to say that, it doesn't matter what level you play, if you have a knack for scoring goals then you will score them at any level. The lad is a goalscorer and I will champion him all the way, I just have a feeling he's going to end up banging them in at premier league level and I just hope that it's for us, when that day comes.
why go for rhodes then? because noble scores for fun in the reserves sure he notched 40+ 2 seasons ago!
2010/11 - Bent, Gyan, Welbeck (Loan) & Campbell 2012/13 - Ji, Wickham, Campbell, Fletcher?? I keep asking myself How? And why does this happen to Sunderland
Gyan wasn't actually that good and Welbeck was only an unproven kid at the time! Yes we've undeniably gone backwards in terms of our forwards but I'm sick of people going on like we used to have Torres, Messi and Villa up front.
