oh_weds_we_love_you Posted April 21, 2015 Share Posted April 21, 2015 Forsyth Bryson Russell Martin all play for Scotland So does Rhodes are you telling me its beyond the realms of possibilty they know what Rhodes earns ? It is possible they talk, yes. However, those conversations making their way to the players mates, then the mates of the players mates, and the family dog tend to be bullsh*t Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest wilyfox Posted April 21, 2015 Share Posted April 21, 2015 Rhodes deserves a shot at the premier league, as does Deeney. Each had 3yrs banging goals in the championship; they've paid their dues. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
parkerowl Posted April 21, 2015 Share Posted April 21, 2015 Oh, so the Derby player was in the meeting with Blackburn representatives talking about Rhodes and not the Derby management? Now it makes sense, thanks! Maybe the player is a friend of Jordan Rhodes ? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

stocksyuto Posted April 21, 2015 Share Posted April 21, 2015 I am not expecting us to sign 10 players and them all cost millions each, We will get players out of contract but the thing is we can compete with QPR and the top dogs on wages now aswell Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Spookone Posted April 21, 2015 Share Posted April 21, 2015 But..... It's the goal scoring Calibre that we have so sorely missed. Had we had a player of the Jordan Rhodes elk we would be in the play offs this season no two ways about it. Yeah you can buy cheaper (Wilson at Bournemouth for example was £3m) but there is no certainty they will make the step up. I don't think we will sign Rhodes, but if they want quick success as it appears they do, we need a proven goal scorer at this level or higher. Was just about to say the same thing, I too think £10m on one player sounds stupid when we could bring in 3 very good players for the same money but its a proven scorer we need, as has been said before, if we had, had one this season I do think we would be top 6 (just).

oh_weds_we_love_you Posted April 21, 2015 Share Posted April 21, 2015 Maybe the player is a friend of Jordan Rhodes ? That makes perfect sense then, and I'm sure Rhodes is happy for his mate to get going telling his mates, who then tell their mates all about his contract. Must be on £35k a week and a £5k goal bonus then. Thanks for confirming that for me, much appreciated. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Dagmeister Posted April 21, 2015 Share Posted April 21, 2015 (edited) Maybe the player is a friend of Jordan Rhodes ? It is certainly feasible that confidential information might have leaked via this or another route. Hard to be certain for sure.

Regardless, £50k/week or £40k/week (as Rhodes scores every bloody week anyway!) I suspect he'll be out of our price range and probably get a shot with a Premiership club. If any club gets Rhodes in the current market for £4.5-7m then they've got a bargain! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
jonesy87shef Posted April 21, 2015 Share Posted April 21, 2015 Just to back Parkerowl up a bit here. I know the odd player now and ones in the past and the do talk about other players wages when they've known that player. It just seemed liked mates talking about a normal jobs salary to them. You could also argue that agents will know wages of many players as when pimpin their client they will want to get the best deal, then the player himself finds out. The last bit is guesswork but the first bit is true from my own experience Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I wouldn't be a massive secret as we are friends. It's because we generally dont move in those circles that some people think its so secretive.

Buxtongent Posted April 21, 2015 Share Posted April 21, 2015 The choice of Player X over Player Y may have to be put on hold for a while. The appointments of Roeder & Pearson would seem to indicate a different approach to the management of the club. My first thoughts on hearing the news was 'what the hell/', but further delving into the appointment of these two, and listening to THEIR views on what their positions are, it seems that the Owner has completely different ideas of how a football Club should be run, My initial thought was 'Committee-a horse designed by a committee was - a Camel', but listening to the interview, it appears that our Owner/Chairman wants to run the club on business lines, whereby everyone has their own specific role. It means that Stuart Gray will be allowed to manage the playing side to his way of thinking.,he will not be charged with the day to day running of the club, and even have someone who will do what was once known as scouting, but will tell Roeder what he wants, what is his overall idea of how the club should be heading, and it will be up to Roeder to provide the requirements for SG to carry out the task, whilst Pearson looks after the Commercial/Marketing side of things. In other words - one man one job, but all reports to the Boss, who has the final say.Seems good, solid business sense to me, and apparently works in Europe, which, if we are honest are in a completely different League to us.

madfan Posted April 21, 2015 Share Posted April 21, 2015 When I first heard the story about Rhodes to Sheffield Wednesday for £12m I thought what a load of tosh! But the events of the past few days have got me thinking. Clearly Roder and Pearson wouldn't come on board if Chansiri was going to be serious about investment. Then I see in the Sun today that Nottingham Forest are preparing a £10m bid for him (I know its the sun, it also makes a mockery of FFP). Are we now in a position to rival clubs in the championship for the very best players? Can we match Forests bid? I personally think we could spend £10m better than on just one signing. But what a signing it would be and would really signal Chansiri's intent to the fans, and the rest of the championship. So would you have Rhodes for £10m? Is he worth it? or could we spend the money more wisely? I think your third line has an obvious error and the rest of it is pie in the sky.

WayneTheOwl Posted April 21, 2015 Share Posted April 21, 2015 Knowing our luck we would sign him for 10 million then he would snap his legs in a pre-season friendly at Histon or somet then be out for 2 years! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
