We might not get someone as clinical as rhodes but it's basic cost analysis really.

Spend £5m+ on Rhodes who could score 20 goals and is on 30k a week

or

spend £5m on two players (say, 2.5m each) who could both score 15 goals who are on 15k a week each



I'd take the 2nd option

Problem is we know Rhodes will score goals, or we know as much as is possible, but finding two players who might get 15 each is a bigger risk.  After all we though May was a 20 goal man for us and that hasn't worked out yet.  I still think May could be a 15-20 goal man with the right service, so maybe as we already own him we can spend the full amount on Rhodes!!

Looking at the squad we have left it seems to me we need the following at the very least:

1 CH
1 LB
2 Wingers
2 Attacking CM
1 Striker

I hope McGugan is one of the CMs but if we only get one striker I am not sure Keane should be it unless we offload one or two of the 4/5 we already have!!
