Maybe but not at the 12m that Boro wanted......way out of our price range..... We couldn't afford his wages in a loan deal either.....

When we got Smithies from Huddersfield, I said we should've gone for a double swoop and got Nakhi Wells too - at the time we were not in a bad place, and would've been a good prospect for him - he would've been a great replacement for Charlie. Now we're sniffing at the recycling bins at the back of Lidl for our strikers, no way we'd fork out money on someone like Rhodes.
two rhodes wouldnt get us promoted this season might as well see this season out and see what the next transfer window brings push for the summit next season
And there we have it. Genius Harry didn't rate him. He clearly reckoned that the outlay would leave enough in the kitty to go towards paying the wages for one of his dependable good sorts for half a season or even less than that if you factor in the cost of appointments with the specialist
