Heeleyowl Posted January 17, 2017 Share Posted January 17, 2017 Buying him would really eat into our FFP allowance (max 13 mill per year) and it makes no sense whilst we have Hooper who is just as good at poaching goals and is much better than Rhodes in all round play. Any money not spent on him would be better directed to where we clearly need strengthening so make Barnsley a Don Corleone offer they can't refuse for Hourihane (money that is not a horses head) get Macmanaman permanent and whilst we're at it get Maguire from Hull he's being wasted at full back. Now that would be a much better way to spend 10 mill. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

OwlofOliveGrove Posted January 17, 2017 Share Posted January 17, 2017 I am now of this thinking also. Despite being a Jordan Rhodes fan. It's gone too far now, getting bored of it. There are better options on offer as the OP said (Hourihane + CB/RB). Unless it's a deadline day daft bargain I'm over it. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

StudentOwl Posted January 17, 2017 Share Posted January 17, 2017 On what basis are we signing McManaman or a permanent? His stellar 56 minutes? There's a phrase about guns and jumping that spring to mind... At least give him a chance to impress/disappoint on a regular basis! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
theowlsman Posted January 17, 2017 Share Posted January 17, 2017 The 10 million we were never spending ever. We were always waiting for a loan deal like everyone else, because nobody will pay Boro's asking price. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

prowl Posted January 17, 2017 Share Posted January 17, 2017 A Loan for JR wouldn't affect FFP much. No one outside the management team knows our position regarding FFP. Most fans have no idea how transfer fees affect FFP. No point in worrying about FFP until the club tells us there is a problem. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

That's a tempting thought but if pushed I'd (probably) rather have the prem. £10 mill or thereabouts is the price which gets bandied about for buying JR. Either way my point is don't worry if villa or anyone else stumps up we can get more bang for DC bucks elsewhere. PS Maguire may lack pace but he's faster than Loovens (who gets by with his positional awareness) and he's now playing almost regularly at premiership standard - worth a punt when the new manager drops him for another foreigner. We need strengthening at CH , CM and winger. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

coopswfc76 Posted January 17, 2017 Share Posted January 17, 2017 If we can add Wisdom & Hourihane from Barnsley I'd be more than happy with that squad for the 2nd half of the season. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
