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.

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.

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.

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.

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 ****.

He was a good looking talent, I was equally dissapointed. It was Oscar's choice though, I doubt he has any regrets.

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.

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... ;-)

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."

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.
