Daren W Posted 6 January, 2012 Posted 6 January, 2012 On what I've seen tonight against Wycombe we'd be daft to not be at least interested in the guy, he's fecking immense, five goals for crying out loud...
Saint Garrett Posted 6 January, 2012 Posted 6 January, 2012 Ha I was waiting for someone to make a thread about him...
S-Clarke Posted 6 January, 2012 Posted 6 January, 2012 but against a truly shocking wycombe team. He's a goal scorer though, will always score in whatever league IMO, if he has the right service. I don't think we'll get him though, more likely to go to a premiership side.
saintmatt Posted 6 January, 2012 Posted 6 January, 2012 Check the Oscar Gobern thread!! He'll get a Prem move I think..
Matthew Le God Posted 6 January, 2012 Posted 6 January, 2012 8 Premier League clubs represented at Wycombe tonight, including Spurs. Saints won't be getting him.
DanW Posted 6 January, 2012 Posted 6 January, 2012 5 goals is incredible... but just as interesting is that former Saint Oscar Gobern scored Huddersfield's other goal. I always liked that guy. Okay, maybe that's not "just as interesting" but it's something even if I don't know what. *edit: gah! Ninja'd. Oh well - sorry to waste your time.
Daren W Posted 6 January, 2012 Author Posted 6 January, 2012 Got it all. strength, balance and an unquenchable thirst for goals... Still running and chasing after scoring five...
shurlock Posted 6 January, 2012 Posted 6 January, 2012 Missed the boat. Was worth a shout in the summer -and unlike most of the clubs that have joined feeding frenzy, we've known for a long time what he can do. But not at today's prices.
DrZuess1979 the 2nd Posted 6 January, 2012 Posted 6 January, 2012 TBF wycombe are shocking And it shows as Gobern scored and he is SH"T
S-Clarke Posted 6 January, 2012 Posted 6 January, 2012 TBF wycombe are shocking And it shows as Gobern scored and he is SH"T He's not ****, HTH.
saintmatt Posted 6 January, 2012 Posted 6 January, 2012 TBF wycombe are shocking And it shows as Gobern scored and he is SH"T Completely disagree with that
Monk Posted 6 January, 2012 Posted 6 January, 2012 Don't make a thread everytime a player takes your fancy girls.
DrZuess1979 the 2nd Posted 6 January, 2012 Posted 6 January, 2012 Completely disagree with that You can!!! but all i`ll say is i saw the tackle he attempted against bournemouth And I`d not swap him for any of our 1st teamers
Daren W Posted 6 January, 2012 Author Posted 6 January, 2012 Don't make a thread everytime a player takes your fancy girls. Don't reply everytime a thread desperately needs a sarcastic **** ladies...
Sour Mash Posted 6 January, 2012 Posted 6 January, 2012 Don't reply everytime a thread desperately needs a sarcastic **** ladies... He's got a point though. The usual attention seekers can never help starting a new thread despite the subject being discussed in detail elsewhere.
Super_Saint Posted 6 January, 2012 Posted 6 January, 2012 Peter Beagrie just said he is worth about £3m on sky sports. Surely worth more than that?
Saint Garrett Posted 6 January, 2012 Posted 6 January, 2012 I'd be surprised if he went for less than 7. Unbelievable scoring record!
S-Clarke Posted 6 January, 2012 Posted 6 January, 2012 Peter Beagrie just said he is worth about £3m on sky sports. Surely worth more than that? Yeah, for a club that maybe didn't have much financial security you could possibly snap him up for that - but Hudders are pretty secure with good backing behind them so they don't need that money, it's no benefit to them. So it will take very very big offer to make them remotely interested.
saintscottofthenortham Posted 6 January, 2012 Posted 6 January, 2012 You can!!! but all i`ll say is i saw the tackle he attempted against bournemouth And I`d not swap him for any of our 1st teamers Youngster in rash challenge shocker. He is a good young player. Fact.
SuperSAINT Posted 6 January, 2012 Posted 6 January, 2012 What a run he's on though. What do you do if your Huddersfield though? Think they'll desperately try and hold on to him until the summer.
DrZuess1979 the 2nd Posted 6 January, 2012 Posted 6 January, 2012 (edited) Youngster in rash challenge shocker. He is a good young player. Fact. Rash challenge he was 4 foot in the air with both feet !!!! Sorry don`t rate him at all. Just seen JR goals on SSN would love to see him here, but think a prem team will get him on stupid wages.

Monk Posted 6 January, 2012 Posted 6 January, 2012 Don't reply everytime a thread desperately needs a sarcastic **** ladies... lol give it a rest.
skintsaint Posted 6 January, 2012 Posted 6 January, 2012 unproven at this level, need experianced NPC striker yadda yadda
JonnyLove Posted 6 January, 2012 Posted 6 January, 2012 unproven at this level, need experianced NPC striker yadda yadda Neither is Lambert and he's topping the scoring charts. If your good enough (and I would say JR is) then your old enough.
S-Clarke Posted 6 January, 2012 Posted 6 January, 2012 Neither is Lambert and he's topping the scoring charts. If your good enough (and I would say JR is) then your old enough. I loved the chart they put up at the start of the Hudders game. Showed the top goal scorers across all the leagues...Rhodes top obviously, but Lambo was in there too, in amongst rooney, Deba Ba etc.
S-Clarke Posted 6 January, 2012 Posted 6 January, 2012 Is that 25 goals he's got so far ? 27! Amazing. (all comps i think that is, but 25 league)
Block 5 Posted 7 January, 2012 Posted 7 January, 2012 7 million? That's crazy money. RL only cost 1 million.
Chez Posted 7 January, 2012 Posted 7 January, 2012 Man United were supposed to have sent a scout earlier in the season, means **** all other than the fact every tom **** and harry has had a look. Good luck to any Premiership side that gets him. I like it when sides "gamble" on lower league players rather than going abroad. Having been out of the top flight for a while I think we all know there is real talent down here just waiting for a chance to shine.
St_Tel49 Posted 7 January, 2012 Posted 7 January, 2012 TBF wycombe are shocking And it shows as Gobern scored and he is SH"T No he isn't. He is a good player and Adkins was disappointed when he turned down the contract we offered. Personally I'd back his opinion against yours any day of the week. I don't think that you will find too many Huddersfield fans saying that he is ****.
Colinjb Posted 7 January, 2012 Posted 7 January, 2012 No he isn't. He is a good player and Adkins was disappointed when he turned down the contract we offered. Personally I'd back his opinion against yours any day of the week. I don't think that you will find too many Huddersfield fans saying that he is ****. He was a good looking talent, I was equally dissapointed. It was Oscar's choice though, I doubt he has any regrets.
saintchris23 Posted 7 January, 2012 Posted 7 January, 2012 He's got a point though. The usual attention seekers can never help starting a new thread despite the subject being discussed in detail elsewhere. "Discussed 'elsewhere' "......notice the 'elsewhere' part of that comment? In another UNRELATED thread in other words. Daren has ever right to bring it up. Not necessarily on the main board mind..... The guy clearly has talent. £5m cash and I'd be a very happy bunny indeed.
Rasiak-9- Posted 7 January, 2012 Posted 7 January, 2012 Rhodes makes up for the fact that he's playing in league 1 with just the sheer ridiculousness of his goalscoring record. I reckon Spurs will pluck him at the end of this season.
Torrent Of Abuse Posted 7 January, 2012 Posted 7 January, 2012 Rhodes makes up for the fact that he's playing in league 1 with just the sheer ridiculousness of his goalscoring record. I reckon Spurs will pluck him at the end of this season. And he'd spend two years there barely managing a League Cup match or two. Would be better for him to join a promotion seeking side and work his way there. Then he'd enter the Premier League as a team member not a squad member. Mind you, I said that about AOC too... ;-)
david in sweden Posted 7 January, 2012 Posted 7 January, 2012 7 million? That's crazy money. RL only cost 1 million.[/quote] ..when we were in L1 three years ago, and he had no where near the scoring record he's had since.
terrypward Posted 7 January, 2012 Posted 7 January, 2012 7 million? That's crazy money. RL only cost 1 million. Perspective...! If it's only £3m though, I'll buy him myself. He can help around the house.
SNSUN Posted 7 January, 2012 Posted 7 January, 2012 Been saying it for three HCDAJFU threads in the last couple of years. I'm no scout, but the lad has always been a goalscorer, and is still young enough to get better.
Saint Garrett Posted 13 January, 2012 Posted 13 January, 2012 West Ham boss Sam Allardyce has given up on landing Huddersfield hotshot Jordan Rhodes - and he has no intention of signing Kevin Davies either. Rhodes has been heavily linked with a move to Upton Park after hitting 25 goals in just 21 League One appearances this season, including a five-goal haul against Wycombe last week. But after seeing an initial bid - believed to be around £3m - turned down by Huddersfield, currently fourth in the table, Allardyce admits he is unlikely to up the offer. “ It's something we've tried to do but it's not a situation where it looks like Huddersfield want to lose the player ” Sam Allardyce When asked whether he had written off the chances of signing Rhodes, he said: "At the moment I would say yes. "It's something we've tried to do but it's not a situation where it looks like Huddersfield want to lose the player. "When a club of Huddersfield's status decide they don't want to lose him because of their own position, and it's more important that they keep him for their promotion push, then it becomes very difficult for us to prize the player away." Allardyce is still in the market for a new striker, as he attempts to steer the Hammers back to the Premier League. Big Sam has been linked with a move for veteran forward Kevin Davies, 34, who he signed for Bolton back in 2003. But the West Ham manager said: "There's nothing in that as far as I'm concerned. I haven't spoken to Owen Coyle. At the moment I don't know anything about that scenario."
Cestrian Saint Posted 13 January, 2012 Posted 13 January, 2012 8 Prem clubs currently watching him. He won't be coming here.
Itchen_block4 Posted 13 January, 2012 Posted 13 January, 2012 Rhodes will either stay at Hudders until the summer or move to a decent PL team that can offer lots of money.
The9 Posted 13 January, 2012 Posted 13 January, 2012 8 Prem clubs currently watching him. He won't be coming here. We're probably in with as good a chance of being in the Prem in 6 months' time as 3 of them, you have to wonder why anyone would sign for Blackburn at the moment, for instance. Plus there's the potential benefit of getting 6 months' experience with your teammates in advance of moving up so you don't have to adapt to new surroundings, teammates AND the top level all at the same time... Also, I don't think money is a limit in any way for Saints at the moment, we can find it if we want to. Choosing to operate sensible business practices doesn't mean investments with a decent chance of paying off can't happen, and getting to the Prem is the ultimate payoff at the moment.
Saint Garrett Posted 13 January, 2012 Posted 13 January, 2012 I personally, cannot see Rhodes leaving Huddersfield until atleast the summer. If he wanted to leave, I think he would have been off by now. More likely is he'll wait til the summer, get Huddersfield promoted, then re-assess in the summer when he knows which club will be where.
