Blackburn are reported to have placed a £10million price tag on Jordan Rhodes

[Admin]

After rejecting an £8million bid from Norwich..

Sod McCormack, if it's reported that Leeds want near enough £10million, I'd turn my attention to Jordan Rhodes.

[ChesterTheTabby]

Got to say I agree with you here, Admin. McCormack would be quite a descent signing, however, with the attacking options we have right now Rhodes would most definitely be the better of the two if we were to sign one of them.

Rhodes is a proven goal scorer in the Championship, younger and I personally think he could cut it in the Premiership if we do get promoted. I'm not too confident about McCormack, he's only had 1 good season and he's 27.

I said on facebook that if we were putting in n 11 million bid for Mccormack, we should pursue Rhodes who is a far better option.

I find it hard to believe we are after another striker if we are keeping Mitro though, as we will have 7 strikers on our books

[rogerpbackinMidEastUS]

PAY IT MR KHAN.  (pretty please)
He's the ace in the pack of a very exciting attacking line up and system

[General]

Why not sign them both. McCormack and Rhodes up front please.

[westcliff white]

according to sky we have agreed 11 million for McCormack, rather have rhodes for ten million

[Craven Mad]

BUY BUY BUY!!!

[RaySmith]

You can't definitely say that Rhodes would be better than McCormack. McC might be just the player for us

Why moan instead of celebrating what we've got.

[westcliff white]

i am not moaning just saying RHodes has scored goals every season where as Ross has done it in only one season.

I am very pleased we went for one of the best two championship strikers last season, but am worried he may n ot reproduce the same form.

[Buffalo76]

Why not sign them both. McCormack and Rhodes up front please.

:plus one:

[Deanothefulhamfan]

Rhodes has scored more goals in his past two seasons than Mccormack has in his last 5.... Rhodes is 4 years younger, which has the potential for a future sell on fee, he is also playing International level, which would make him more likely to do better in the premier league.

I am happy we are buying, and if we had got Mccormack for 7-8 million it would have been a good deal, but now we are paying 11, knowing we could have got a better version for 10 grates on me slightly. Leeds have held us for Ransom and we have buckled.

My biggest worry though is the FFP, which would have been the same had we signed Rhodes.

Anyway enough moaning.... Welcome aboard

[Craven Mad]

The main reason the pro-Ross squad used against the pro-Rhodes lot was that £5-6m (for McCormack) was more reasonable than £10-£12m (for Rhodes).

With the price-gap closed it's hard to argue McCormack was the better choice..

Nonetheless, if Ross can fire in 20+ we'll all be laughing!

Ship Mitro off to Turkey or wherever we can, bring in Rhodes along side McC, keeping Cauley, Rodders etc as competition for places, bringing them into games later on as subs once teams have been terrified by our frontline......boom another record breaking points tally ?

This would be amazing. We would destroy the division with Rhodes and McCormack up top

[westcliff white]

as long as mitro stays (and the rumours are he is going too) then we wont sign another striker. You also have to remember the dreaded FFP in the championship and also its very severe penalties.
