If you had £8 million

Kap10

After yesterdays performance would you spend it on Jordan Rhodes?

And if you could only afford wages, would you sign Murphy? Blackburn suggesting replacing Murphy with a dustbin or traffic cone

sam3110

I wouldn't spend it on him in a million years, he won't ever repeat the feat again, and will struggle to top 20 a season for the rest of his career

The answer is no. He'd look a bit silly just sitting around my house.

tangoflash

Championship player at best for me, and certainly not worth anywhere near that figure. £2m max for me............................

_MrDick

I think he'll score goals in this division but he was up against an inspired centre half pairing in Morro and CC

Blackburn will do a Charlton either finish just outside the playoffs or not even make them .... Then next year drop like a stone as the Indians realise they are ruined ...

They will either drop to league one or be THE most expensive and highest wage billed mid champ club in history ...

Friend Or Defoe

No chance. Incredible waste of money.

The bloke is a quality finisher but as proved yesterday if you stop the crosses/chances coming in, he won't score. Simple game.

If I had £8m, I'd not invest any of it in football unless it was a do or die bid to stop Charlton going under. £8m isn't a serious enough wedge to transform the club and there's no surer way to blow you cash than playing at football manager.

Not even a box at the ground?

Spend it on football ! Friends and family first not forgetting a slap up meal at Mrs. Miggins pie shoppe.

Big William

The evidence suggests he never plays well at The Valley so probably not the best signing for us....

Exiled_Addick

Jelavic cost Everton £5M. We seem to well and truly have Rhodes number as we've restricted him to 1 goal from a penalty and about 2 shots in 3 games. I believe we have one of the best centre back pairings in the Championship let alone League 1 so it maybe isn't surprising but it doesn't bode well for his ability to step up to the Premiership one day. £8M was never going to be value for money imho, and will end up being his highest transfer fee. He's the new Jermain Beckford.

I'd be too busy on exotic holidays to go anywhere near the ground for a few years. Maybe when I get bored of cruising ;-)

Addickted4life

What a waste of money, he looked no where near 1 mill yesterday and Morro and Cort kept him out the entire game.

AddickUpNorth

@Stig - with your mate George Michael ;o)

richie8

Our centre backs had him in their pockets at Huddersfield last season.He took a good penalty though.

Stig

Of course ;-)

Absurdistan

Michu was only 2 million and probably a lot less in wages.
I'd pocket the rest as my agents fees.

O-Randy-Hunt

He is quality. He just didn't get the service yesterday. He had one header that went wide but if he gets the chances he will bang them in.

dave85

he is still learning. lot of money but i'm not wrriting him off yet.

EastTerrace

The way the Greek economy is going I could spend my 8m to buy Rhodes.

Hastingsaddick

Throw a big party for all you guys and girls...free booze the lot.

killerandflash

He clearly hasn't playerd well in either game at the Valley, BUT has done very well elsewhere, so it's silly to write him off, I think he's got 3 goals already this season
