Has Bruce even actually equivocally said that they pre-agreed a fee? They've got no cash. Stinks of them tryna get out of the clause. And who said anything about Bruce's word as gospel?

Tamworthowl Posted June 1, 2019 Share Posted June 1, 2019 A lot on here saying we should sell for £3-4m and that our £7m valuation is outrageous. But how much have Norwich offered? Have we turned down £4m? Or have Norwich offered an amount as outrageously low as ours is supposed to be high? Until some factual evidence comes to light everything is reported is just posturing. I've seen nothing to suggest we've rejected a fair offer. Then there's Jordan Rhodes himself. If he's desperate to move, and to move to Norwich he can always help the deal by taking a pay cut to help finance the move. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Jim Posted June 1, 2019 Share Posted June 1, 2019 26 minutes ago, Owls-Fan said: Personally I feel it’s the lack of service that’s been the problem not the strikers. To have a 20 goal a season striker, they need the chances. Shearer says he wanted to be given 4 chances a game by his teammates to score a goal. We’ve had/got strikers who have shown they are 20 goal a season striker in this league (Rhodes, Winnall), but we didn’t have the right wingers for Rhodes to profit from, during the Carlos & Jos period. Hopefully Bruce realises we need more creative players in the side, judging by his reaction to some of our performances where he said there was a “lack of quality”, this usually comes from creative players, not goal poachers I agree about the service. That said the lack of service the forwards have had is still with the likes of Bannan and Reach in the side. And I know that if they weren't in the side the service would've been even worse which perhaps says it all? I don't see Bruce ripping up the current midfield template without his hand being forced first (offers coming in). We do need wingers but current speculation of targets suggest we're more likely to go with wing-backs rather than two wingers? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

And who said anything about Bruce's word as gospel? Well on the one hand we've got the Sporting Director saying that no such agreement was in place. On the other, there seems to be consensus that such an agreement was in place... I assumed that that must have come from Bruce because people seem certain that it was. I'm trying to establish if he said the, because I don't remember him saying that. Did he say that? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Whilst I’ve not seen anyone our side state their was a clause, for Bruce to say it’s in their hands not his, not ours on whether he returns or not suggests there was. Maybe that’s a mistake or miss understanding. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Costello 77 Posted June 1, 2019 Share Posted June 1, 2019 1 hour ago, StudentOwl said: Rhodes is for sale, it's no secret. Norwich want him, it's no secret. However, that's very different to having an option to buy. I can rent out a holiday home and make it very clear that I'd be interested in buying the place at the end of my lease, and the current landlords are very interested in selling for the right price, but that doesn't mean there was an option written into the letting contract that allows me to do so once my tenancy is up, and equally it doesn't mean a pre-existing price was agreed. Norwich have come out and said no such agreement was in place but that it's still something everyone wants doing... just depends on agreeing the price Option to buy gives Norwich first dibs. That's all it means. But agree with the rest.. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

What Bruce says in the grand scheme of things doesn't matter that much. Chansiri as chairman will have final say. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Sounds like he's tryna drum up support to worm his way out if paying 7m for him, by appealing to the national press. IF there’s that clause then why agree to it?

If it's just conjecture, then you can't exactly kick off at Norwich for not agreeing to the asking price they've quoted in the press Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

And sold their 3 beat players last year for a combined £25M. In a way I can see why Chansiri gives our players big valuations but we always seem go be striking when the market for them has gone cold. Timing is key with how you turnover your squad. We've been rubbish at it. If someone wants what you have it's easier to ask a high price and get it than it is if you want rid of it. Sell when people are desperate to buy and buy when nobody else is interested Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
