Costello 77 Posted May 26, 2019 Share Posted May 26, 2019 I've made my mind up.. I'm going to rent a factory unit and turn it into a workshop. The pug will be restored. It was bloody glorious when I was stuck in work. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
oldishowl Posted May 26, 2019 Share Posted May 26, 2019 Seems 7 million might be the fee agreed by Norwich as part of the loan agreement. We are simply asking them to stick to the fee in the paperwork if they want to sign him. Of course they don’t have to sign him but I can see why we would start from that position Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Bouncing Owl Posted May 26, 2019 Share Posted May 26, 2019 (edited) For the good of us and Rhodes, I hope we can get a deal done. He doesn’t want to come back due to allegations of bullying and he is happy at Norwich. We think he’s crap and a striker with a limited skill set. We won’t get £7m, even though it may be in his loan contract. £4m would be the top price but I’d really be happy to take £3m given he’s on £35k PW for a further 2 years and he’s surplus to requirements.

I’d be happy with a £3m fee so we can write off this year’s payment to Boro and of next year’s payment whilst saving his wages. I honestly think this is the best we can hope to get out of any deal.

He wants to stay down there we want him off our wage bill , anything near £4m settles what we owe Boro doesn’t it ? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

As I understand it mate. I believe we bought Rhodes for £8m which was staggered over a 4 year period. We have 2 x £2m payments to make. If we get £4m, I’d be jubilant and it would be a no brainer.

Jim Posted May 26, 2019 Share Posted May 26, 2019 (edited) To get the best out of Rhodes, we would have to taylor the way we play to suit him which I think Bruce would be prepared to do. That said he is a player who’s wanted elsewhere and it’s a deal that may have to be done for Bruce to stand any chance of bringing the likes of Hector and Onomah back?
