DevOwls Advocate Posted December 30, 2016 Share Posted December 30, 2016 Rhodes will definitely not be signing on loan for Wednesday this transfer window. Wages are too high for us. Happy New Year Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Philb125 Posted December 30, 2016 Share Posted December 30, 2016 1 hour ago, theowlsman said: Owlinmad says his son is a football agent, best mates with Rhodes, and he's coming here on loan. Derby, earlier linked to Rhodes, have ruled themselves out of the running to buy him, according to Pat Murphy of the BBC. Same Pat Murphy also saying Villa have also ruled themselves out of the running to buy him @ the asking price of £11million. So, if he is going anywhere in Jan, it'll be to another club, not Derby or Villa, on a permanent deal, for the asking price of £11million, or to Villa if they can negotiate the fee down from £11million, or to any other club who can negotiate the fee down from the asking price of £11million, or he'll simply go on loan somewhere. Make your own conclusions. Personally, as he has been at our games recently, and Boro seem adamant they will only let him go permanently for £11million, which nobody seems to want to pay, I think we have a good chance of getting him on loan as hinted at by Owlinmad. Will be nipping to Home Bargains for Kleenex just in case. I think the Villa and Derby links were coming out of Boro trying to flush out potential suitors or likes of us to push for a perm signing. Personally I think even a loan loan may be too expensive if we have to pay 65k a week and any loan fee. But we have deadwood earning that so if we can ship a few out it's no pain other than trying to keep 4 very good forwards happy. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
StudentOwl Posted December 30, 2016 Share Posted December 30, 2016 I agree, I think forking out for Rhodes' £75k a week wages is just a step too far for us Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Philb125 Posted December 30, 2016 Share Posted December 30, 2016 Out of interest, who's place do we think Rhodes would take? Would it be Rhodes partnered with Hooper, Fessi or Fletcher? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

He said he doesn't mind continuing to pay me a tenner a week to increase siiiite traffikc but felt that I'd been slacking off a little. Does he pay in installments or is it all upfront?

sage owl Posted December 30, 2016 Share Posted December 30, 2016 Really can't see it happening but it would be some statement of intent. Great player at this level but how would someone earning as much as he supposedly does affect team spirit. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Davidioso Posted December 30, 2016 Share Posted December 30, 2016 75k a week for Rhodes is insanity but it could be the difference between prem and championship next year or it could be chasing the dream, or sleepwalking to oblivion (portsmouth or coventry style) who would want to own a football club?
