Huddersfield confirm Rhodes set for Rovers (From Lancashire Telegraph)

Very pleased with the last few days of transfer activity. I feel we have secured some exciting some talent.

Rosado looks the part on the youtube clips I have seen of him, a good passer with great vision and looks as though he keeps his game very simple, which is key to many good footballers.

Henrique, the defender looks as though he provide cover for our main centre-backs and I feel will be bloodied in the games against lesser opposition.

And of course Mr Jordan Rhodes, who has more or less signed the doted line. This in my opinion will be a fantastic signing, he is strong, fairly pacey and has that crucial eye for goal. I know people have said he is unproven in a higher league but to them I say, who can't score 40 odd goals in League 1 and not be a pretty good player and with 2 games in the Championship he has scored 2 goals, one of which was against Burnley who for this League are still a good team (I know I will get stick for this) hence why I believe provided he gets the service (Of which Kean will really show if he has the management skills to change the team to suit Rhodes because the service the rest of the team has provided for the forwards so far has been woeful) he will get the goals we need to fire us back to the PL.

One thing I will say is that I still feel we need some extra cover across the back-line, I feel it is adequate barring several injuries. Kirk Broadfoot has just been released from Rangers due to their monetary issues, I feel this lad would be a shrewd acquisition as he naturally plays as a right-back but can equally play at left-back or centre-back, he also has European football experience which would be very handy, thoughts?

Kazim Richards is a big guy and so is Leon Best....and either will be perfect alongside JR.

As for the manager.....well it has to be taxi for Kean next week and then I would get an experienced manager in. I like Gus Poyet, but not sure he has enough experience of management at the top level of football yet.

The signing of Rhodes is a major coup for Rovers, of course he is a risk, but every signing is a risk.

But as ever on this page the negative cynical experts will never admit it when they are wrong. I knew nothing about Richards when he signed, I looked on this page for some info and all but one post said that he had only played for Bury and was rubbish. Even half-fit he looks a very good player. Again not one of our negative experts that post here admitted they were wrong. It's time people started to judge every situation on it's merits and not have a blanket hatred of Kean. It is very clear that the administration of the club is far better this year. I agree with Andy Cryer's assessment of the signings, we definitely lack pace in the team. As I said before i am not a Danny Murphy fan, but it looks like he can do a job in this division. The signings of Best, Etutu, Richards and Rhodes look to be very good signings even though Best got injured. I don't like any of the Portuguese signings, they all look very ordinary players and it doesn't look the best way to encourage our very good young players. The stupid boycotts and failed demonstrations will never cost Kean his job, but his negative tactics could cost him his job. Will he continue to play one up front? It seems to me that these tactics can only work if you have a Drogba up front or a Shearer, it takes a great player to make it successful. Rhodes and Richards can obviously score goals, but will the manager's tactics provide the opportunities?

Will be an interesting home gate for the mighty Barnsley. Two away games will have gone, results as yet unknown but possibly 6 points? Home debut possible for JR (those initials remind you of someone?).
How many of the stay aways will come back? Could be an interesting few games.
Unfortunately I will not be returning, even if they got Messi tomorrow until you know who goes. If that makes me not a Rovers fan in the eyes of some then tough. At least I will be consistant in my beliefs that nothing can start to be put right until Kean goes.

Good posts and fair comment for me I too am waiting for the naysayers to admit they were wrong about Rhodes and the bs theories about it being s ploy to get the fans back. I wont hold my breath though. Long way to go but the plan looks to be coming together. But the negative posters will keep trying to sow discontent but isnt it becoming too obvious now that they do not want success(read comments on here). Best signing since Matty J or who knows, even Shearer? But no they wont " come back" because they hate Kean. Fine, as most are plastic boycotters and Dingles they cant be missed and the real fans who are staying away will come back with a winning side. Last but not least SK cannot fail now as the money spent leaves him with no excuses if we dont win, so it is a win win for us fans

10,000 extra season tickets at £529= £5,290,000.

Told you I was no good at maths. Looks like I have dyslexia as well! £259 x10000 = £2,590,000 a bit less than I got at first but still not to be sniffed at.

At least our manager drinks! How can you respect a BLOKE who doesn't drink? This isn't what a REAL northern man does! It's what his wife should be doing!! He swerves to the left, he swerves to the right, Steve kean, drink driving tonight! When I was at school the lads who didn't drink were called panseys!

Spending 8 million on a young player under the management of Steve Kean will not make me return to Ewood. You seem to have difficulties in understanding the real issues dont you and judge everybody by your own fickle standrds. You more than anybody talk like you have the decision making skills of a primary school child. Give us some credit for knowing our own minds

This has to go down as a positive, this kid scores goals and will get better, but also we have prised him away from a rival in the league, for sure this lad would have scored a hatful for huddersfield and probably a hat trick against us. What i would really love to know is who is really getting these signings in, I suspect Shebby is behind these not Mr. Kean. He made some comments during the fans forum about the fact that he had brought players in, if this is the case then hats off to him, he might be as mad as a box of frogs but he does seem to be trying. It would be interesting to see what would happen if we all started singing "Shebbys blue and white army". Might help him win the internal struggle obviously going on down at Ewood

Its called people power. If every-one stayed away for the next home match (against the mighty Barnsley) who does not believe the evil one would not be sacked by the next match? Simples. All stay away, Keen wll be sacked and the Indians will save face by blaming the fans.

Spot on and with no help from 8000,
.

One of the empty blue seats.

The lunatics and most certainly running your club. Crazy transfer at a crazy price. Rhodes must be mad going from a well run club to the laughing stock of football.

Don't call me plastic, call me real! I am delighted with signing of Rhodes and look forward, one day to seeing him play for a manager who I can respect. I will be at Leeds Wild Rover will you?

The only way Wolves got rid of the Bhatti Brothers was to stay away. And it worked. Eventually.

Yep they only had to wait until the got in division 3.
I wonder if some of the Premier League Glory Hunters will come back now all the assest stripping nonesense has been laid to waste?

Spending 8 million on a young player under the management of Steve Kean will not make me return to Ewood. You seem to have difficulties in understanding the real issues dont you and judge everybody by your own fickle standrds. You more than anybody talk like you have the decision making skills of a primary school child. Give us some credit for knowing our own minds

No, a primary school child doesn't stick with a team thick and thin, they desert, like a premier league glory hunters.
There's nothing like knowing your own mind is there? I thought you were being led along by a bunch of welders and a dog. Me,
I'm far too intelligent to be led by someone who cracks one off. And I have the psychometric test scores to prove it. In fact I'll prove my theory correct.
I bet you the next home game has a bigger attendance than the last. I will stake my reputation, of always being correct on it. Will you do likewise?
Yours truly
