Kernow Posted March 11, 2015 Share Posted March 11, 2015 Been a fair bit of talk linking us to a striker in on loan - mainly Jordan Rhodes or Ross McCormack.For arguments sake let's say we are actually in for both of these, who would you rather have?Personally I would rather Rhodes, always seems dangerous even when he isn't playing well and always gets a good goal return no matter what. McCormack would offer more all round although perhaps not as instinctive as Rhodes, he can win games in the same way through moments of brilliance.I'd happily take both here for the last 10 games to hopefully get us over the line.

Curtains Posted March 11, 2015 Share Posted March 11, 2015 McCormack as he's more like Martin and holds the ball up. Would be be over the moon with this one if it happens. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
RadioactiveWaste Posted March 11, 2015 Share Posted March 11, 2015 McCormack, although, I'm not so fussed, it's not the attacking we're having problems with, Thorne is more critical, but i worry about him being fit.Still, i fail to understand how he went for 11m quid.

MuespachRam Posted March 11, 2015 Share Posted March 11, 2015 Neither, save the money until we are up. We have enough to get us over the line, if Martin is back on Saturday then Rhodes or McCormack wouldn't even be playing.. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
RaphaRam Posted March 11, 2015 Share Posted March 11, 2015 McCormack for me. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Kernow Posted March 11, 2015 Author Share Posted March 11, 2015 Good point regarding hold up play, although I would look at it more as someone who can play with Martin. He's all but back so would be silly signing someone to play instead of him.McCormack would work in Martin's role better than Rhodes though. Although Rhodes & Martin are both the same height (6ft1) and McCormack is much shorter at 5ft9, our hold up striker/target man isn't meant to flick the ball on/win headers, how often do you see Martin leave the ground let alone win headers?I think McCormack would definitely possess better qualities in Martin's role such as technical ability, strength.

Kernow Posted March 11, 2015 Author Share Posted March 11, 2015 Martin won't make Saturday and might not make Tuesday either. We need goals to get promoted and we need someone to hold the ball which Russell doesn't do. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Curtains Posted March 11, 2015 Share Posted March 11, 2015 Where does it categorically state that he won't?Thought Steve had said he was hopeful of CM & GT being back in the squad at least for Norwich as both have been training? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
North_Stand_Ram Posted March 11, 2015 Share Posted March 11, 2015 McCormack can play in all 3 positions in our front 3. Can Rhodes? Doubt it Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Mostyn6 Posted March 11, 2015 Share Posted March 11, 2015 Anyone who thinks McCormack is anything like Martin has not watched one of them play! McCormack is more like Jamie Ward or Simon Dawkins! He's a runner, getting on the end of through-balls. He's not a hold-up back to goal player like Martin is! He's more of a winger!I'd go for Rhodes, he's instinctive and not affected by confidence.

Harrowram Posted March 11, 2015 Share Posted March 11, 2015 Why not for Kenwyne Jones? Cardiff are unlikely to get relegated and he didn't start when we played the at the end of January. Rhodes appears to be going to Middlesborough , and Fulham are too close to relegation to release McCormack. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Mr Tibbs Posted March 11, 2015 Share Posted March 11, 2015 Mostyn has hit the nail on the head.Rhodes definitely holds up the ball better too. If we want a Martin replacement, it's Rhodes. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

robglosta Posted March 11, 2015 Share Posted March 11, 2015 I would rather see McCormack here as I think he has more all round quality, work ethic and could also tuck in on the wing. Both are goal scorers, though, so if the interest is true I would be happy with either. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
