They are properly spunking money now they are relegated Seems like a good buy though.

Good player but 8 mil for him I would have said half that because he's only been in the championship for 2 f*cking weeks ffs.

Highest scoring player in any English league last year, and he's scored twice in two league appearances so far - he's still proving one of the best in the league. If he continues the way he goes the premiership and England caps are definetely coming his way in my opinion. I think he's worth 8 million, but I think it's ridiculous that a championship team can afford that money really.

Berbatov was sold for £4m yesterday
Rhodes was sold for £8m yesterday

Berbatov is way over-priced at 4m.

Huh, just realised Rhodes plays for Scotland even though he was born in England. Didn't realise that, my bad.

And Berbatov is an example of shocking business by United, a 26 million loss on what they bought him for, his value is meaningless. If you look at players like Matt Jarvis going for over 10 million, Allen for closer to 20 million even with his young age, you have a better comparison. Rhodes price while steep is about fair in today's football economy.

Like I said a good player but 8 mil for a untested championship / prem player.

You dont see many 8mil signings in this league and he has only been in it for 2-3 weeks.

You can keep Jordan Rhodes, we've got Maynard!
