MALKY'S FIRST TRANSFER TARGET SHOULD BE...

Fri Apr 06, 2012 1:14 pm

Who else but Jordan Rhodes?

It's a plausible deal if City are aiming for promotion next season and should Huddersfield remain in League One. I'm guessing it'll cost between £3m and £4m, and if we were offering that for Marvin Sordell I would hope Rhodes would be Malky's first transfer target.

I'm pretty sure some of the lads' Scotland international teammates here could also convince him, too. ;)

i think 4 mill is way to much for the club to spend on one player.. we need at least 3-4 even 5 players imo.. especially if people leave in the summer

Jordan Rhodes would be a bargain at £3m or £4m. We definitely need a couple of very good strikers. Assuming Earnshaw isn't part of the plans then I am hoping we go into next season with Miller and Mason as 3rd and 4th choice strikers because of the quality we have brought in. Malky showed last summer that there is a lot of value to be had in the free transfer market and I am assuming we will bring in a decent number of players this way again in the summer. The one area I can't see quality available on free transfers in the summer is wingers so I think this will have to be where the money is spent.

I know 7 Forest fans who have said Chambers is not the same as last year, Wes Morgan made him look good, look where they are in the league, theyve simply said he's very overrated, not as good as people say, and theyre die-hards.

Look where they were when Wes Morgan was there.

Wasn't any better was it?

As we have struggled for goals since the turn of the year I think a striker would be a priority and Jordan Rhodes would certainly fit the bill. However, I was at a LMA dinner a few months ago and Malky told us that if he could sign one striker it would be Jay Rodriguez of Burnley. I think Southampton had a big money bid turned down for him last summer but if we have a big budget this summer then I would expect us to move for him.

Rodriguez is out of contract in the summer but Burnley would be due compensation. Same position as Lewis McGugan at Forest.
