Scott hogan people! Would suit lufc. Just the type of striker we need 😀.

spoke about him about 6 months ago struggled to keep a regular place in squad then they started to play him and goal after goal, had leg break just before end of season .
I had read that Newcastle were in the mix, think he will be between 6-8mil .

Has a good goal to game ratio but has missed a lot of football due to injury (over 2 seasons worth of games already at 24yrs, that's pretty worriying) . If he is going for around the £8m mark and we have the cash to spend then why wouldn't we go for Rhodes?
Middlesbrough have brought in Negredo, Rhodes can't get a game, pretty sure they would sell for £8m. Has scored 20+ in 3 of his 4 full seasons at this level.
Personally I would take Matej Vydra as a cheaper option. Did really well then hit a bit of a wall. Now he would be available for a steal which is pretty much what happened when we brought Rosco in from Cardiff.

Vydra went to Derby for £8m.

Fair point SG, knew he was at Derby but had it in my head it was only on loan, stupid brain lying to me.
Wow £8m, that's a ridiculous overspend on an out of form player, honestly thought he would be (and should be) valued around the £3-4m mark after a couple of sub standard seasons and might be worth a punt. Think Derby might live to regret that one.

8m? Who sanctioned that?
I'd take David Nugent on loan and cheekily ask about Jordan Rhodes at the same time.
No doubt they'll be near 17th come January and they'll panic buy a few dud La Liga strikers.
Jordan Rhodes would suit Leeds and would be happy for a return to West Yorkshire I'm sure.
Failing that, Nugent in loan would be immense in this league, Proven.
