I agree. Hopefully his workrate will be similar to Baldock's too and we can have one of them alongside Murray/Hemed with a couple of decent options on the bench.
Agreed. I think that is starts and in all competitions. It is 3 in 36 league games last season. Still, if he gets a few goals for us and can be the difference in a couple of games, then that will be fine.
Good news. We desperately need another striker. His scoring record isn't great but hopefully it will be better for us. I'm sure he will be a better fourth choice striker than Manu.
I know but it would mean that a lot of the reasons for Middlesbrough losing their lead over us involved Rhodes. As I say, no idea if it's true and I'm not arguing with you, I just find this idea that some on here seem to have (and again, not you), that Middlesbrough signed Rhodes, Middlesbrough...
Yes but the rumour was that some of this could be down to the signing of Rhodes against Karanka's wishes. No idea if that is true or not but would put a new perspective on it.
How is it irrelevant. Their form after he joined was very poor. He got a few goals for them but, to be honest, if they'd not signed him and kept with the strikeforce that took them 11 points clear at the top, they may well have gone up by a greater margin than just goal difference.
