Given their age, market values, and most importantly McCormacks recent behaviour, i think Rhodes plus a fee for McCormack would represent a very good deal. McCormacks age and behaviour will see his value start to plummet very quickly, if we can get rid of him quickly, in a deal thats makes sense for the club, i think its a no brainer. Completely agree, have felt the same way for a while now. Need to get rid of McCormack and Rhodes would definitely be a better option for us. When he was signed, I suppose it was with the intention and expectation of him making almost an immediate impact and contribute with goals and assists thereby justifying the outlay - it hasn't worked out that way though and we don't need him and any of his trouble. - Why are people assuming Grealish is going anywhere or involved in any swap deal? Where has this nonsense come from? Plenty of other players we could and should happily get rid of. Edited January 27, 2017 by Jas10 6 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Villarocker Posted January 27, 2017 Share Posted January 27, 2017 Hypothetically, if the questioned swap was involving Rhodes and Grealish people have to consider that Grealish has been in the Premier League and hardly set it alight, just as he has failed to set alight the Championship this season. Rhodes is a proven goalscorer at the level we are currently at, even if the Premier League is out of his depth. So, on one hand you have a player that's done nothing at either of the top two levels but has time on his side. On the other hand you have a player who has scored freely at this level. It is easy to assume that, from now until the end of the season, Rhodes would have a bigger impact in this league that Grealish. If that meant promotion and the riches that came with it, it would certainly make for a better financial move for the club. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Dean Marney is out long term and there was rumours in the past about them wanting Westwood. Would be a good move for all parties but mostly Villa. Barnes would be a good workhorse to have behind Kodjia. Westwood would benefit from a fresh start and Dyche has a good record of improving players (Stephen Ward has turned solid, Lowton doesn't get embarrassed defensively, Joey Barton is civilised there etc.) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Depends if you think there's a chance without Rhodes and how much of a difference he would make over Jack to that chance. Not enough of a difference for the long term loss, IMO. A better player than Rhodes? I mean maybe, but then I'd question why we have to swap players we want to keep for anyone. Those kinds of demands are rare, I'd rather we signed a different player. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Grasshopper Posted January 27, 2017 Share Posted January 27, 2017 Dr T "liked" the one tweet to him by (?) Grealish staying 100%. Dr T obviously doesnt know whats going on in here (too busy) so lets cool it. 1 player direct trade + cash that may be Rhodes for ? + cash could be any from Westwood, Gardner, Bacuna, McC or even Richards the other 2 options are out an out buy posibilities cant be arsed with the rest Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Eastie Posted January 27, 2017 Share Posted January 27, 2017 No reason why we can't have Rhodes and grealish to help us achieve our aims . It's not a case of one or the other . 4 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I don't see a legitimate reason why we can't have both, or indeed a better striker than Rhodes. They don't play the same position. Keep Grealish, sign a striker. It's relatively simple. But in the name of sportsmanship - Rhodes. I think Grealish has more upside though, by a distance and I think we would regret it long term. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

flashingqwerty Posted January 27, 2017 VT Supporter Share Posted January 27, 2017 i'm not sure what all the fuss about grealish is about. Based on how he's performed on the pitch for villa he's nothing more than average. I'd not think to hard about selling him if a decent offer was made - i dont think he offers us much at all.
