Then compare to any SWFC player last season Rhodes averaged a goal every 168 minutes of Championship football, which compares favourably with all our strikers except João, who averaged a goal every 161.

Groundhopping Owl Posted May 19, 2019 Share Posted May 19, 2019 If we sell him we know that we can bring money in and free up wages. If we keep him then we've no idea what return we could get - Bruce has sounded a positive note in interviews but let's face it, playing at Wednesday just doesn't seem to suit Rhodes. I'd sell him while Norwich are in the Premier League and therefore able to afford him. It would be a sad end but probably best for all parties, he seemed to love his season down there while he's never looked happy here. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

twolaptops Posted May 19, 2019 Share Posted May 19, 2019 It was obvious he would leave... because having failed to latch on to endless through balls he always gave his customary wave to the crowd Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

They refuse and we keep him? Great. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
HootHoot Posted May 19, 2019 Share Posted May 19, 2019 We'll be lucky to get £2m for him. £36k off the wage bill. If it gives us a better chance of signing Hector then we should definitely take it Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
handworth52 Posted May 19, 2019 Share Posted May 19, 2019 if he can hardly cut it at championship level now then there is no way he could at premier league level ,very strange if true , but id take 4 million and lose his wages in a shot if true.

Quist Posted May 19, 2019 Share Posted May 19, 2019 I think anything above £1.5 million would suit us. Hopeful we will include bonuses for example if they stay up at least another million etc. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Fletcher forestieri nuihiu New Speed and Power thats some condenced options for us right there Problem with that is Forestieri is more of a wide player and is rubbish up front, and Nuhui is crap.. definitely not good enough for promotion. Only Fletcher is a starting striker We’d need 3 new strikers if they all go... I’d have kept Hooper if he’s fit but maybe Rhodes can do a job. All comes down to the fee we’re offered.. £3-4m plus and he can go, any less than that and we’re being ripped off Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
shezzas left peg Posted May 19, 2019 Share Posted May 19, 2019 Hmmm I trust Bruce's judgment. He could be thinking if we can get a pair of real old style wingers. We've had Been using inverted wingers playing on their wrong side for crossing and playing narrow prior to Bruce's arrival. Its not condusive for getting good quick ball into the box from out wide and I think it will be something he'll hopefully address. This for me is the sort of service that the likes of fletcher and Rhodes thrive on, so possible if we go back in that direction we could get him firing again, but it's not guaranteed. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
RichSheffWeds Posted May 19, 2019 Share Posted May 19, 2019 £1-2m and his wages off the books would be a result. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

If Bruce reckons he can get the best out of Rhodes and he fits into our intended style of play, then I wouldn't be surprised if he did well for us next season. On the other hand, if he's not the sort of striker Bruce is looking for and moving him on allows us to add a more suitable alternative to the squad, then so be it.

i used to be sc_owl Posted May 19, 2019 Share Posted May 19, 2019 If there is a manager I trust to get the best out of Rhodes, it is Bruce. As always, it comes down to how bad our financial position is. I'm still hopeful that Rhodes could do a job for us, but if we end up selling him and freeing his wages up then so be it.
