WalthamOwl Posted January 15, 2020 Share Posted January 15, 2020 DC thinking he can get cheaper and better then according to Nixon. Not so sure about that. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

tommycockles Posted January 16, 2020 Share Posted January 16, 2020 English Football News @EnglishFNews · 12h Leeds United, Wigan Athletic & Derby County have today joined Blackburn Rovers in the race to sign Jordan Rhodes on loan. Sheffield Wednesday keen to free up his wages this month to fund Whickham to adhere to FFP. ????? Maybe Wickham deal is a 'domino effect' situation, acceptable Rhodes deal to go out, Connor in????

tommycockles Posted January 16, 2020 Share Posted January 16, 2020 English Football News @EnglishFNews · Jan 14 Aston Villa are planning a raid on Sheffield Wednesday’s Adam Reach, with a deal worth up to £12m depending on survival. One other PL club and one Championship club interested but as yet unnamed. Not sure about that one!!???, although if anyone offering £12m i'd snap their hand off!!

prowl Posted January 16, 2020 Share Posted January 16, 2020 Sell/loan Rhodes to Leeds. That should screw their season up perfectly. 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
owls maniac Posted January 16, 2020 Share Posted January 16, 2020 Rhodes is like the proverbial millstone around our neck. Single biggest disaster signing by DC (but of course it was our fault). 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It can’t be the case, given our summer manoeuvrings We might like that to be the scenario, but it won’t be dependent on it Whatever extra cost we take on, can be readjusted in the summer, when some big earners will be leaving Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Bouncing Owl Posted January 16, 2020 Share Posted January 16, 2020 I just can’t see us offloading Rhodes on either a loan or permanent. DC will want too much and there is better options for other clubs elsewhere. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Single biggest disaster signing by DC (but of course it was our fault). Rhodes is costing us £4M per year, part transfer amortisation and the rest wages. (Estimate obv.) We reportedly lost £50M in the last accounts. Rhodes is only a small part of the problem. I know he contributes little but we did shift out some of the dead wood last summer. If moving Rhodes on lets us bring in Wickham I'm all for it. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Bottler Owl Posted January 16, 2020 Share Posted January 16, 2020 I think the problem with shipping Rhodes out isn't necessarily that DC wants too much per se but unless you get a certain amount for him (particularly on any purchase) he actually ends up damaging the accounts due to apportionment based on how much his value has plummeted. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Think we will be working on more before taking on a big loan wage. Think if it wasnt the case we must shift players first then Wickham would already be here. Think we may have tried to get a cheaper deal on him when realising Wigan were only willing to pay about 25% on Rhodes. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Holmowl Posted January 16, 2020 Share Posted January 16, 2020 1 hour ago, owls maniac said: Rhodes is like the proverbial millstone around our neck. Single biggest disaster signing by DC (but of course it was our fault). What he did in 16/17 and 17/18 mean very little now. In 19/20 he has 3 goals in 460 minutes. OK they were in one game but why not give him the benefit of the doubt? To me he still looks the most likely of our 3 healthy strikers to score regularly. He is making good runs and getting on the end of the few crosses we execute. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
