fpowl Posted January 19, 2017 Share Posted January 19, 2017 We probably tried our luck with a 3-4 million bid seen as he is now well and truly surplus after there influx of strikers at least we're in i genuinely believe he will be playing for us in January and my guess would be a decent loan fee of about 2 million with option to buy end of season at a am agreed price probably about 5 million with huge promotion bonus on. I have nothing to base any of that on but it seems like the affordable risk that keeps our expenditure down and really do have a feeling he will be wearing our colours Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

sherlyegg Posted January 19, 2017 Share Posted January 19, 2017 If someone buys him for 9M ish and we end up pushed into 7th due to the goals he scores, he's worth 9M even if he sits on the bench for us....Still think Leeds will get him Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Athelwulf Posted January 19, 2017 Share Posted January 19, 2017 In the end, it's what a player is worth to you. If Rhodes makes the difference between going up and staying down, then he's worth the money. The question is, would Rhodes make that difference? Chansiri must think so.

Exactly whats not to like 6th place with a 5 point gap, signed your mate recently , reported to be after rhodes or a team that are 13th with no hope of getting promoted this year its bot a hard choice if tou take wage out of it Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It's all about opinions I suppose. He didn't exactly set the world on fire did he, he scored a few goals but Middlesbrough were well placed for promotion before he signed. Middlesbroughs biggest signing influence wise was probably Gaston Ramirez. I can't argue with the fact he's not really had a fair crack at premier league level because he hasn't really, but the fact Middlesbrough now or indeed any other premier league club in the past have not seen him as a viable goal scoring option speaks volumes IMHO.

Toon Owl Posted January 19, 2017 Share Posted January 19, 2017 In my humble opinion. Jordan Rhodes will move to Villa. They will top any offer we put on the table. He will score goals for them and will probably get them into the play offs. Then its a knockout for promotion. I honestly believe we will make top six without him but hope hes not gonna come back and pee on our chips at the death. He will never wear our shirt mores the pity.

steelcityowlsfan Posted January 19, 2017 Share Posted January 19, 2017 (edited) Get him and get him now! 10 million is peanuts when for finishing bottom of the PL gets you £125 million or so. If we don't go up we have the best goal scoring striker in the division and he's not even in his prime yet. I'm sure if we bring him in sacrifices to the squad will be made. If we can ship out Abdi, Matias and Nuhui and loan out Joao we will be fine. Just need some suitors for those 4. Very risky leaving it till deadline day. If Norwich sell Brady they couldn't be in the mix. We need to get him and watch us fly. Edited January 19, 2017 by steelcityowlsfan Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
PeteG_1984 Posted January 19, 2017 Share Posted January 19, 2017 I would personally prefer us to spend what ever it takes to get Hourihane. Spending silly money on Rhodes is basically saying we're going bobbar or bust and also means we can't strengthen in any other areas of the pitch (without putting us further in danger of contravening FFP) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
