Buddy Repperton Posted May 19, 2019 Share Posted May 19, 2019 Amazed if this comes off. Really hope we can get his wages off our books and use the money we'd save for our benefit. Shame his signing has been an expensive failure - I always used to say,when he was scoring for fun, that if Wednesday signed him he'd dry up!!

TrickyTrev Posted May 19, 2019 Share Posted May 19, 2019 Keep him. Hooper has already gone, Bruce clearly doesn’t fancy Winnall either and he’s been a long term admirer of Rhodes. In a Wednesday side that doesn’t employ the slow boring build up play that we did under Carlos and Jos he’ll score loads. A lot of teams in the Championship are very much of a muchness, add a proven 20 goal a season striker into the mix and it can make all the difference. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
BRADDO Posted May 19, 2019 Share Posted May 19, 2019 I would imagine it would be a relatively low fee. By all accounts Norwich paid us circa one million loan fee and a 6 figure bonus on promotion (circa 500k?). Add on his wages for a season of around 1.75 million then they could argue they've already paid around 3.25 million for him. Maybe a fee of 1.75 million on top would do it. I can't realistically see us getting much more from Norwich. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Ive always wanted Rhodes to work for us, but being realistic its been a long time since he was a proven 20 goal a season striker. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
HOOTIE AND THE SHIT TU Posted May 19, 2019 Share Posted May 19, 2019 For anyone saying sell him We still owe Boro 4 million for him Any sale must be enough to pay Boro off Or I don't see the point in selling Yeah we would save on wages but if Norwich want him, they must be told it's a minimum of 4 million, and another 2 million if they stay up 2 Just a bloke, who used up all his luck in one go when he met his wife.

True, but then his ratio of a goal every 168 league minutes for Norwich would work out at 24 goals per season if played for 90 minutes in every game. I'm not suggesting he's going to be 20 a season striker for us, but his goal ratio for Norwich suggests he's still got plenty to offer, especially if played in the right kind of system to suit his natural game. I suspect neither us nor Norwich will be playing this kind of system from the start of too many games next season, but Norwich are better-equipped to have a multi-million-pound striker starting on the bench than we are. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Frazzlebeak Posted May 19, 2019 Share Posted May 19, 2019 Bottom line with Rhodes is do we want to build a team round him? Is it possible to build a team round him? Is it worth building a team round him? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

But doesn't the 4 million we owe Boro become payable immediately if we sell, which means we're bringing 2 million in this season, but paying out 4 milion, doesn't make financial sense to me. 1 Just a bloke, who used up all his luck in one go when he met his wife.

Exactly this, BUT ,,,,,,,,,,,,, if he isn't in SB's plans then we should get what we can for him. However, 4million ain't a lot for a prem team to stump up even if it is for someone to just come off the bench; and if he does score the half dozen goals which keeps them up then it would be a terrific investment on their part. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
