It may well take most of the extortionate fee they burgled out of the Saints for Long to get him though.

Yes, but I don't think he's worth £12million, which is the reported figure for his signature. That only leaves £500,000 change from sellong Shane Long.

Not sure on Rhodes, if he was a couple inches taller and a couple pounds heavier I'd say he'd compete in this league but to me he hasn't got either pace or power in abundance and is just a Scottish Gary Hooper!
But then again it wouldn't be the first time I was wrong...

Hull are signing some decent players. It'll be interesting to see if he can cut it, as so many on here believe he can't. I think he's got the confidence to do well.

He's been at Blackburn for 2/3 years right? So wonder how long he has on his current contact?

But then again it wouldn't be the first time I was wrong... I agree. He's got a pinch of everything about him to make a decent striker no doubts about that. I'm just not convinced he's strong or fast enough to cut it in the Prem. I could be wrong. He's got an eye for goal. It's just whether he can manoeuvre enough chances for himself. We shall see. Certainly looks like it will happen. |

I say massive fail. Not quick enough  I don't know if that's a sound reason as to why an attacking goalscorer won't succeed in the Premier League. I can't recall any of this lot being particularly lightning quick or any faster than Jordan Rhodes is but they all scored in excess of 50 Premier League goals. Niall Quinn, John Hartson, Alan Shearer, James Beattie, Kevin Davies, Chris Sutton, Kevin Nolan, Teddy Sheringham, Mark Viduka, Dion Dublin, Robbie Keane, Matt Le Tissier, Kevin Phillips, Dean Holdsworth, Harry Kewell, Eider Gudjohnsen, Gary McAllister, Lee Bowyer and some fella called Mark Hughes. Crouchy isn't renowned for his pace either but he's done alright for himself. |

Blackburn can add the noughts for fun on this one.
And if they do & Dull buy it / him, it only adds to the madness.
Mario looks amazing value by comparison.

He's just signed a 5 year deal at Blackburn, if he goes he will go for more than Mario I'm sure, he's a good Championship forward but whether he can cut it in the prem is another question
He hasn't done much for Scotland the past couple of years so we will see if it comes off, massive gamble that can go either way

Crouchy isn't renowned for his pace either but he's done alright for himself. I've seen him quite a bit at Huddersfield and I simply don't think he will cut it. The players you list are miles better than he is. A lack of pace is the main problem he will face IMHO.... a bit like Nugent. Some of the players you list are just fucking daft mind - some aren't even forwards. |

I don't think the list is daft at all, it's a list of players who have scored lots of goals at the top level who aren't known for their pace. The point was made. You only gave 1 reason as to why Rhodes would fail "not quick enough" Hence me listing goalscorers who weren't quick. It's not that fucking daft. |

Yes but the point is if you are not quick enough you need something else. Anyway, as it's mcf you're arguing with I'll agree with you!  |

To be fair to you both some of the most prolific forwards in the league last season were slow....Suarez, Sturridge, Aguero .... |

My issue with him from what I've seen is that he doesn't do much beyond score and strikers in the Prem usually have to be about more than that. If Hull are going to play him and Jelavic, who's another pure poacher, they'll have to have a top notch supply from out wide and midfield.
