Interesting and not altogether surprising. Not our sort of signing especially for that kind of outlay, but I actually think with our wide players he would score goals...

I suspect that Rhodes would do very little in the Premier League. Boro will have to accept a massive loss on their outlay if they want to get rid to a Championship club ...
... but there's always Villa, or Ashley's rich courtesy of zero hour contracts, sub-minimum wages, appalling working conditions, etc

I very much doubt 'Boro give a shit about that right now.
Could argue they made a colossal profit on their outlay. Couple of goals less and they wouldn't have gone up.

Villa are reportedly after a goal scorer and wouldn't be a surprise if they spent the entirety of their 30m transfer fund solely on Championship proven players - especially given how last years French experiment played out. Plus we all know Rhodes and Gestede work well together as a front pairing.

People don't seem to like him these days and yet he scores where-ever he goes. Just it's always for big money

Sooner or later the game of pass the parcel with Rhodes will leave someone writing off a big loss.

2009–2012 Huddersfield Town 124 games (73) goals
2012–2016 Blackburn Rovers 159 games (82) goals
2016– Middlesbrough 18 games (6) goals
He's 26 and English (sod going to school in Scotland being a reason to be allowed to play for them).
If he wasn't crazy expensive and his wages wouldn't blow the whole team up, then reckon he'd be the one and only domestic based player who would be able to tip us over the edge without other additions (well one back up defender perhaps unless we're super high on a youth).

If we can get him for around £3m then I say get him on board. I'd imagine he will have a slightly more inflated price tag than that though.

I'm hoping they'll need him for 2017/18...

He's OVER-RATED.
All he does is SCORE goals and WHAT USE is that!?

With that scoring record and a surprising loyalty to two clubs that were going nowhere, I would be happy to see him as our big striker signing for the next season.
As a previous poster pointed out, his goals for Boro made the difference to take them up and we were arguably only a few goals short of promotion ourselves. Financially out of our reach I'm sure but would be a great signing

Yes, and this thread is about a 4th club

Perhaps we could learn a lesson about doing what Middlesbro did, sign him to get the goals to get promotion then offload so that the cost of his transfer is minimal in relation to the amount they will earn this coming season.
