You don't have to believe me, just listen to Sean Dyche talking about him. Can you write it down for me please.

Paolo Di Catio Posted August 23, 2016 Share Posted August 23, 2016 We're not selling anybody. If DC goes back on this and sells our best asset I'd be seriously pi55ed off Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest BRADFIELDOWLS Posted August 27, 2016 Share Posted August 27, 2016 Betvictor have just slashed our odds to 6/1 for Rhodes, now 3rd favourites. Maybe his dad's having some influence. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

But if FF wants out then we move on by selling him and using the cash. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Too many people see a lack of goals and surmise we need a new goalscorer, when we really just need more creativity. Of course, playing Abdi in the correct position would be a good start... Spot on.

A big dyck contest between DC and his agent will ruin our season. Second, what do you think a like for like is? And then who best resembles that gap and possibly obtainable? For me it's complicated:- FF out - get Reach urgently FF out and Rhodes in - get rid of Hooper too and get Reach urgently FF stays - get Reach as LW/LB back up. Think Ive talked myself into Reach being important! Edited August 29, 2016 by Holmowl Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

If a swap is on the cards then I would envisage there being another 2 or 3 players also being moved on to reduce the wage bill to accommodate JR. If Reach is in the deal then make that 3 or 4 players. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest wilyfox Posted August 29, 2016 Share Posted August 29, 2016 I can't see FF being a Boro target, but trading him up to the premier league would probably be the best solution for us. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

How would getting rid of our most influential player benefit us? We have no evidence that his presence at the club is having a detrimental effect, his effort on the pitch hasn't decreased. So I see no reason to let him go. Nor has he ever said (to our knowledge) that he wants to leave the club. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Karanka likes 451. You could imagine Fessi on the left of that? Pace, energy, tracks back, scores goals. Managers dream? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Athelwulf Posted August 29, 2016 Share Posted August 29, 2016 But then you've got the same problem which caused Forrestergate. If young Lochinvar is on £50/60 a week, how would we accommodate him without causing unrest? It was bringing Fletcher in on big bucks which upset FF in the first place. I don't think FF will go anyway. Doubtless his terms have been improved behind the scenes, and they'll be announced, backdated, later on. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
