..according to Alan Nixon we’ve joined the footballing powerhouse Mansfield Town in a race for 34 year old Jordan Rhodes, that cannot get a game for Blackpool. Desperate times. Utterly depressing.
34 year old, penalty shoot out bottling Jordan Rhodes? Hardly fits the mould. Nixon has also linked Cosgrove with a move to Blackpool…..
If we do that and I’m desperately hoping it’s false what little faith I have will be well and truly shot unfortunately.
MGoldrick,Fletcher,Billy Sharpe etc all well into there 30,s and still scoring . Not saying Rhodes is a target but as I say many times horses for courses.
Scott if you can put your happy head on for 5 minutes and not taking in a tenuous paper rumour about Rhodes,who would you personally target as a signing for us.?
He's getting on but i'm sure he'd have converted a fair few chances that the current lot have managed to squander.
Agreed.. he scores and always has done.. and we need a poacher.. Would definitely take him age is immaterial.. Would like someone with pace with him tho if possible
You cannot spin this one, sunshine… The window’s been open for 33 days & this is the 1st actual link I’ve seen us to a striker - the kids has 0 goals this season. Blackpool are below us in the league table; I’m hoping it’s a dud rumour. It’s not my job to sound who we should be going for, but it should be someone younger, in his prime that is firing & someone that’s in our budget (whatever that maybe…) ‘the recruitment team are working tirelessly behind the scences’ is what we’ve been told every Thursday in DC’s presser - this link to me stinks of desperation after being knocked back tirelessly. IMO of course….
We need experience but not that experience. We need a striker but not that striker. We need new players but not those ones. Can't win... I'd take him all day long. We're creating chances and can't finish - one thing he can do is finish. No risk imho.
Not sure a 0 in 21 striker would cause much excitement in any fanbase. Maybe we should resign Ashley Ward while we are at it. .
Appears to be fake news anyway https://x.com/dougokane88/status/1886037731777593493?t=T-Q-aR78NwVp9WvBvkFN2w&s=19
15 in 29 games last season.. But Doug from the cron says na. Not one we're looking to bring in.. but ends with owt can happen tho on deadline day..
He'll probably sign for Mansfield ,score 10 goals and the BBS will be saying "why didn't we sign him".
