A desperate move from a desperate man. Boro’s failure payments are drying up, the EFL have already said Derby haven’t broken any rules, the other clubs in the league have rejected his ridiculous idea of allowing every club full access to every clubs finances and this is his last throw of the dice as his beloved Boro disappear down the sh***er in front of ever dwindling crowds.

He's ok but not great, got a long throw in that could come in handy.

Obviously a windup which some have taken a bit too literally. Why settle for Megson when you’ve got terrorist money coming in.

No, I’m pretty sure he got 16 which is his best season ever goals wise at this level.

That’s fair enough pal although I would say that his last 3 managers have been Karanka, Carlos and Jos, all 3 of which play very negative slow build up football. If we get the ball forward quicker, employ some pace out wide and play at a higher tempo, I believe Bruce will get the best out of Rhodes. He is the only striker we have that has 20 goals a season in his locker and at 29, there’s no reason why he can’t do it again. Like you though, I’ll trust Bruce’s judgement.

Keep him. Hooper has already gone, Bruce clearly doesn’t fancy Winnall either and he’s been a long term admirer of Rhodes. In a Wednesday side that doesn’t employ the slow boring build up play that we did under Carlos and Jos he’ll score loads. A lot of teams in the Championship are very much of a muchness, add a proven 20 goal a season striker into the mix and it can make all the difference.

I really don’t have a problem with this. If we have sold the ground it’ll be to another company owned by DC so we will still be in EXACTLY the same position 2 hours after the sale as we were 2 hours before, the only difference being that we won’t be looking at a points deduction and transfer embargo. May as well do it now before the loop hole is closed.

Nope, I think it’s just us and Bolton who haven’t submitted them. Does nothing to dispel the rumours that the club is in a mess with regards to FFP.

If we can tempt him back, hopefully we’ll give him the first team contract he so richly deserved 18 months ago!!

I would love to see what Bruce can get out of Forestieri over a full season but the fact that his last 2 seasons have been blighted by injury, him being 29 and him being in the final year of his contract leaves me to conclude that anything north of £8m would be very good business regardless of who he signs for.

He’s absolutely awful, defends like a 15 year old girl. If I never see him again in a Wednesday shirt it’ll be too soon. Yet another example of money being wasted by the club.

Looks like he turned Norwich down for family reasons. https://www.google.co.uk/amp/s/readnorwich.com/2017/06/09/borner-rejects-norwich-offer/%3famp=1

He should be given a decent contract offer that fairly reflects his form at the club. If he chooses to sigh great, if not then he moves on we we wish him well for the future. I really wouldn't go down the road of offering things like club captaincy just to get a player to sign a new deal. Firstly I don't think it would sway his decision anyway and secondly it could cause problems in the dressing room which is exactly what you don't want. Personally I'd make Hutch captain.

A guy I work with has a mate who works for a football agency (I’ve no idea which one) and he told me that he’d been told we were interested in Vaulks. He has a long throw in but other than that, I don’t know much about him.

I really didn’t rate him but wish him well for his future career.
