I'm not qualified enough to assess, but is JR just not up to Premier standard? He was on a lot of Premier Clubs' radar a year or so ago.
Just a slight correction, not sure a loan has ever been mentioned but we are consistently rumoured to be in for him with Blackburn having a selling price of 12m. Not at all convinced we will spend that much on him but I could see us going to 8m, possibly 10m, if we could get him.
Rhodes is an interesting situation, his scoring record is as good as any other striker (165 goals in just over 300 appearances!!), he is only 25 years old yet while the like of Afobe go for 10m he is still sat scoring goals for Blackburn, a team going nowhere!!! I cannot understand why none of the lower half prem teams, including yourselves, have not come in with an offer!!!!
