Just scored his fifth goal of the night at Wyscum.

What a signing he has turned out to be.

I can't believe Roy Keane was stupid enough to sell him. Brilliant bit of business.

Do you think he can play at Premier League level? Can't see why he can't be a good player at Championship level for a start..

We had a 3 million pound bid turned down for him.

[Barside]

When?

Would be very surprised if a big bid doesn't come in this transfer window...

Must be bittersweet for Huddersfield fans, there is surely no way he won't be snapped up soon.

Craig Levein was very astute in giving him a full international to tie him to Scotland. He is being linked with Celtic too but I think he'll be priced out of their limit.

International career

In July 2010, it was reported by The Scotsman newspaper that Rhodes was being considered for selection by the Scotland national under-21 football team.^[17] Rhodes is eligible to play for Scotland because he attended school there for more than five years, while his father played for Scottish clubs.^[17] He received his first call-up to the Scotland under-21 squad in November 2010, but was immediately withdrawn because Huddersfield were due to play an FA Cup replay against Cambridge United on the day before the under-21 match.^[18]
Rhodes eventually made his debut for Scotland under-21s on 24 March 2011, in a 1–0 loss to Belgium in Deinze. He made his home debut on 10 August 2011, in the 3–0 win over Norway at St. Mirren Park. He scored his first goals for Scotland with a hat-trick in a 5–1 win against Luxembourg at Stade Josy Barthel, Luxembourg City on 6 October 2011.^[19] Four days later, Rhodes scored both of the Scotland goals in a 2–2 draw against Austria.^[20] He scored in Scotland's 2–1 victory over Holland in an U21 qualifier for the 2013 U21 European Championships. He is the joint all-time top scorer for the Scotland U21 team.
Rhodes was included in the full Scotland squad for their match against Cyprus at the Antonis Papadopoulos Stadium in Larnaca on 11 November 2011, as a reward for his sensational October form for Huddersfield and the Under 21's.^[21] He was an 87th minute substitute for Jamie Mackie and had a stinging shot parried by the Cyprus goalkeeper in injury time. Scotland won the match 2–1.^[22] Rhodes said to the press after the game, "It was never in doubt I would be sticking with Scotland. I'm Scottish through and through. I had all the jerseys as a kid and grew up watching Scotland."

There's no way they can hang on to him in January, he's in red hot form.

He's scored 27 times this season now

Roy Keane was good at letting all of Ipswich's best players go, let us have Liam Trotter for nowt and now he's worth about £4 Million.
