Why would any Club take a highly waged, underperforming player - unless the host Club covered his wages? Can someone explain this to me? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Presumably the match you were at wasn’t the one where we had the bigger possession stats and were leading when Rhodes was substituted? All with supposedly 10 men? So what’s your solution - are you going to pay the rest of his wages for the remainder of his contract. Simple question - how do you suggest he’s moved on? This thread doesn’t achieve anything really does it? Other than undermine what bit of confidence and usefulness he does have.

Owly Mowly Posted January 25, 2020 Share Posted January 25, 2020 I watch him and think “No way is he a footballer” - he offers absolutely nothing at all. Surely anyone (like Borukov) must be a better option for us - I can’t imagine that anyone could offer less than Rhodes does Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest ka58 Posted January 25, 2020 Share Posted January 25, 2020 Winnall was Equally ineffective but ended up getting his goal so fair does. i wanted Nuhiu on earlier to be honest - we looked much stronger up top as soon as he came on. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Pulling twigs would be a level up from Rhodes right now. Every time Rhodes plays I have that hope that something might spark again - it just doesn’t look possible Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Our possession stats, shots on goal and positive play looks even better, if it was achieved with only 10 men. He performed a role last night - hence we were leading when he was substituted. Furthermore - how exactly do you “get rid”? Pay up his contract presumably? It’s not that easy. You literally can’t give expensive waged players away. Talking sense to fruitloops doesn't work. They think there's a clause in contract to 'get rid' based on owlstalk threads. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

gurujuan Posted January 25, 2020 Share Posted January 25, 2020 (edited) Well everybody knows my feelings on this signing. The stupidity of the deal, has in my opinion, cost us, not only millions, but has probably cost us promotion. Having reached the play offs twice, Carlos then gets Rhodes foisted upon him, and the rest is history. Had that money been used more wisely, we might have been where the piggies are now Edited January 25, 2020 by gurujuan Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Hopefully Wigan sell Robinson to Milan and use some of that cash to take him, otherwise we'll be stuck for another year!!! Not seen any mention of Van Aken either, still got another year on his contract, can't see him having a future here, so just get him sold for whatever you can get, cut losses and bring a bit back into budget. Then sign Wickham asap!!!! He’s out of contract in June. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
