everton and southampton chase 10 million rated striker jordan rhodes

Probably just a personal thing but I'd rather have a "centre forward" who puts himself about and puts the s--ts up defenders.For that reason I'd like to see Shane Long at Goodson.

have to disagree mike, I want a goalscorer and not another workhorse (lukaku and not jelavic)

Mike-Ox Long

I agree with you mike! This new style of attacking/flair needs justifying with goals. Rhodes does appear to know where the goals are, but could he cope with the step up? He is young though so he would carry a sell on value unlike kone. Where does £10m come from though?

I think Rhodes would be a great buy, he will cost £10 million though because Blackburn paid 8 for him if my memory serves me right

No way I would spend 10m on rhodes, would rather take a punt on Danny Inngs and would be cheaper than that. what's your thoughts on Inngs Ed?

{Ed025's Note - i like him cheeks, a big step up from burnley, but well woth a punt for me mate..

Should of got rhodes last jan for 5m when we were crying out for a goalscorer, the guuy scores for fun, calling jelavic a work horse is a stretch as well he dosnt even try hard

{Ed025's Note - rhodes is doing very well, but he is playing in the championship!, scoring in the prem is a different kettle of fish..

I've not seen much of Jordan Rhodes myself, but what I have seen, he doesn't seem to have much else to his game other than scoring goals, which is obviously what you need first and foremost in a striker but in the modern game having more qualities is a bonus. I do like Shane Long though, as a previous poster mentioned, he's a busy, pacey customer and is a handful on his day.

10m?

Rhodes is pony, not good enough need a proven premeir league goalscorer FACT

Isnt shane long out of contract in the summer

Sorry Granville but this nonsense of a modem forward needing more to his game than scoring goals is the only reason we think it is ok for our number nine to get less than 20 goals
Bull crap 20 goals should be a minimum for a prem number nine!

So let's get this right! When lukaku goes in the summer, we want Shane Long to replace him!! Come on blues, give your heads a wobble eh!

And how many number 9's will score more than 20? They cost money. And I was advocating Shane Long as a possible replacement for Jela. Jeez

Everton could be about to sign French midfielder Yann M'Vila, 23, from Russian side Rubin Kazan. The Frenchman was spotted at the Merseyside derby on Saturday.

Was he really there or someone who looks like him, no one else has mentioned it so doubtful mate {Ed002's Note - He was there as a guest of Kirikou, the Liverpool club hairdresser. He stayed a couple of days with #WonderDogSparky and then left.}

He was there but he is mates with one of the kopite *******s so they got him a ticket in the away end hoping no one would recognise him which they did he is not signing for us

He was there, he was in with the Liverpool fans. He was a guest of Sakho.

Turned us down in January for Rubin Kazan, money talks. That right Ed?

{Ed025's Note - he does love the money mike..

Any news on a striker comin in ed? Lukaku be gone next season an kones out for rest of season and jela is hardly a striker anymore haha, we only have lukaku an super kev who can make a impact up top. Hopefully Robby can work his magic an get a couple of Spanish whizz kids in on a pernament basis {Ed025's Note - im sure bobby has irons in the fire mate..
