Was only a few months ago we were rumoured to be in talks with him. Huddersfield fans were on here saying he was no good. Think their opinion may have changed a little bit now

Rhodes is not a target man, just because he's tall that doesn't automatically make him a hold up player.
We need an outlet, Rhodes is not that, hence as JJB said why he was left out the side last year numerous times, it was nothing to do with fitness.
Great player, but too similar to Barnes. We need somebody like a Ricky Lambert (obviously not going to get him, but that kind of player).

I can't see them going above Charlton but think they'll go up automatically with them.

Is he your long lost brother or is he dating your sister or something?

Why would Huddersfield want to sell him if they are pretty nailed on for promotion. For every goal he scores they will add a few grand to any asking price from potential suitors.

Spot on, i've been desperate for us to sign him for the last couple of years! Great goalscorer, very, very good in the air too and can handle himself pretty well. I imagine plenty of teams would be after him though, would be a great addition though.

third hatrick in a month more like. saw him at Brentford and was impressed
some interesting comments about his hold up play - i'd like to see him again to judge him against those criticisms. in the air he was immense and dangerous though.

simply can't agree with this on the basis that Barnes does not have anything like the same ability in the air

Yeah exactly right. There was a time when I think us or someone would of got him with a bit of persistance. Not now though
Barnes scores headers, as with Mackail-Smith due to the fact he gets inbetween the center halves and will therefore have a free header. Neither outjump or outmuscle a center half, Rhodes is the same, the goals he scores are down to his movement.
He is not a hold up player, far, far from it. Hence why Alan Lee is playing a much bigger role for them this year.

regardless.... Barnes does not have the same ability in the air.

"you need"
You have nothing upfront other than CMS. He has no presence and is more of a worker. If you had Rickie, you'd be shit hot.

I appreciate why you'd say that (based on watching a couple of our games on TV I assume), but the truth is, we don't really know what we have up front yet. Barnes has five or six goals, so you can't really say he's contributed nothing, while we spent a couple of million quid on Will Buckley & Will Hoskins, both of whom have looked very good & made real contributions when they have played, but have been injured for long periods.
ees complicated no?
