Southie_Owl Posted June 25, 2018 Share Posted June 25, 2018 I’m still deluded enough to think Rhodes isn’t finished yet so I think at a team that play to his strengths he’ll do alright. I just hope we put a clause that he can’t play against us, and he has to score against the pigs Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Surely the deal would just be to cover more of his wages? not covering wages and then paying a fee would be robbing Peter to pay Paul. Just things I’ve read & heard. I thought the same, but then again Norwich have just sold a player for £20million+ so they should be paying a huge loan fee & all his wages....plus take David Jones too Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

WalthamOwl Posted June 25, 2018 Share Posted June 25, 2018 Norwich also trying to sign Rhodes good friend Ben Marshall. Think the 2 of them will form a very good partnership. Still want Rhodes to stay with us to be honest. Wouldn’t surprise me one bit if he smashed in 20+ goals for Norwich next season. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Sonny Posted June 25, 2018 Share Posted June 25, 2018 Hope he does. We’d recoup some good money then. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

They are considerably older now. No guarantees. If Rhodes can start banging them in again then it's great for us. We get a golden striker back - or a much better transfer fee. They take points off other rivals. Presumably Jordan wouldn't be able to play against us. If he doesn't bang them in, then it's very sad all round.

They might be offering to pay only a quarter of his wages and at the end of the day if they are the only club interested they can offer what they want, especially if they are aware we need to move him on due to FFP or to be able to bring any new players of our own in. Indeed. But by the same token, if we don’t get the freedom we require from moving him on. No deal Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

No deal Depends how Jos sees him. and judging on what we know so far.

Hopefully, if they value Rhodes high enough to chuck enough cash at it then by all means I’d be happy to let him go because he doesn’t fit into the way Jos plays he would take a sizeable chunk of Norwich’s budget though, and they will shop around .. is there better value than Rhodes out there ? Probably is Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

tarn owl Posted June 25, 2018 Share Posted June 25, 2018 Any chance if Norwich agree to pay his wages that we agree to release him or sell him for a nominal fee? Personally i don't see anyone taking Rhodes, purely because if they watch the scouting tape and don't just go 'it's Jordan Rhodes! You know he scores goals all the time', they will see a player who will need to go down a division to get scoring goals again, I don't think he can produce at the championship level anymore. We shall see. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Harrysgame Posted June 25, 2018 Share Posted June 25, 2018 Part of me still thinks he could come good for us, really want him to succeed here. Guess it depends how Jos see' s him fitting in if at all. If he goes then best of luck to him a decent and genuine bloke. Money will be the issue but not his fault, something tells me he would take less just to be playing regular again, does not seem the mercenary type.

peacock1961 Posted June 25, 2018 Share Posted June 25, 2018 If he was in Jos's plans then he would have bought him on in the last match 4-0 up with over 30 mins to go.What better opportunity for an out of form striker to fill his boots. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
