Rhodes for 1 or 2 of their fringe players, if any are good enough. Im not convinced Norwich will want a striker that appears to be behind Nuhiu in the pecking order. Even on a free transfer,I cant see them paying his wages. FFS. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Unfortunatley we could match your statement to British manager Steve Bruce. FFS. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Westfield Owl Posted September 16, 2019 Share Posted September 16, 2019 Incredible that we’ve just let another transfer window go by without moving Rhodes on. Especially considering that other clubs showed an interest in the player this summer. What’s even more incredible is that we’ve still got fans that will defend his performances. If you factor in the loan fee we paid to Boro, the transfer fee itself in 2017 and the high wages that Rhodes will be on, compared to his performances in the Wednesday shirt, the money that this club has wasted on Rhodes is eye-watering. We’re probably talking about a cool £1,000,000 for every goal he’s scored in an Owls shirt. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Or the only club that do want him, dont want to pay anything, meaning we would have to pay Middlesbrough £4m we don't have? His wages are around £2m per year and we still have to pay Middlesbrough whatever regardless? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Yes, but if we move him we have to pay all we owe to Middlesbrough straight away, rather than the instalments we're currently paying (£2m per year over 4 years if the original reports were correct). From a FFP perspective that would have been suicide for us given how close we were to the edge. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Then replace Murphy with Aarons. Then bring in a left-back. Then bring in a creative central midfielder. Then get promoted. Did you apply for the job? I've no idea how you were overlooked if so Genius A question though what about next season. How do we make the step up to Champions League? 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

His performances have been very poor and does not deserve a place. I think Norwich were not realistic about signing him and it was just a front to give him some publicity them to say thank you and hopefully generate publicity to get him a move. Realistically when have you ever seen a player be part of a promotion winning squad to Premiership and they try to secure a player who was on loan with them last year for less money than they paid previous year. if reports of what they were offering this would have been situation. I can understand Dc rejecting this type of offer but if he does have 2 ears left on his contract it would have saved £3 million in wages and that is probably a better return than we will get elsewhere. I'm sure he has 2 ears left. (and right). He did on the last picture I saw of him and I've not heard that Holyfield has been near him since. Surely someone on here Nose!

Hopefully Winnall has given enough reason to say I can play in a 2. I didn’t see it as 4-4-2. I think it was 4-5-1 with Reach supporting. Winnall played slightly further forward when he came on though. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Blue and white Posted September 17, 2019 Share Posted September 17, 2019 There is still a player in there somewhere and hopefully Monk could be the man to get him firing again. Having said that the longer it goes on you have to say for whatever reason it's just not working out for him here and that's a shame, he isn't anywhere near as bad as some on here make him out to be.

horny owl Posted September 17, 2019 Share Posted September 17, 2019 I was annoyed when Bullen brought Rhodes on instead of Dave at Millwall when we were trying to battle for a point as he was completely ineffective. It’s time for Jordan to move on unfortunately. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

As Elvis once said, it's now or never. Agree 100%, either way, he's on the payroll, so lets see how Monk uses him. I would so laugh my ass off, and eat my words, if Rhodes bangs in 20 this Season. I was rather hoping that Norwich was going to make a reasonable offer...Wednesday seems to be playing according to that what he does. It's not a case of say, Nuhiu or Rhodes, more a case of Nuhiu and Rhodes, in a front 2 or 3, Wednesday has some options in a front 2 or 3, with or without Rhodes, but I'd like to see him get one more chance, why not? We're paying for him anyway, and if he stinks up the place, he gets flushed. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Another £2m saved to pay Middlesbrough. Keeping him made no sense. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

We cannot afford to BUY any one just yet, so wheeling *& Dealing is the only way to get players off the books and bringing in any new players. Doh!.
