In his previous spell with us, he looked too good for the Championship in my opinion. He has the potential to be brilliant in this league. But I think we’ve been burnt too many times with giving out high wages to very talented, but injury prone players. I don’t think it’s a good strategy for us. I think it would be different if we had endless money to spare and didn’t have to rely on him week in, week out. I agree completely 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Howards back Posted July 3, 2020 Share Posted July 3, 2020 For the moment I think the 20k to 30 k a week are not for us We will be looking at bargain basement wages more on par with most of the championship. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Steve Down South Posted July 3, 2020 Share Posted July 3, 2020 I thought it was a poor decision to bring him back, but he’s been looking good since the restart. Unfortunately we’re helping to get him fit for Palace to sell over the summer. If our relationship with Palace is good, I think the best we can hope for is to take one or two of their youngsters on loan - they have a good record in developing young talent.

We can do without any of them as long as we sign the right replacements, nobody is irreplaceable. Wolves, Newcastle, pigs, Brighton, Huddersfield, Cardiff, Fulham all been promoted in recent years without any of those players. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Injured start of August. The Wednesday way. Wouldn't mind him having his injury in pre season and catching up tbf. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Guest Posted July 3, 2020 Share Posted July 3, 2020 For the wages he'd want, we could get 2/3 players in who we could develop and make a decent profit from We ain't getting that with wickham and he ain't gonna develop further imo 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Yes I agree they are important this season but we need to get away from the attitude of looking at players as irreplaceable, that’s what’s got us into this financial mess as it is.

WhiteOwl91 Posted July 3, 2020 Share Posted July 3, 2020 I imagine the most we could offer would be whatever we just offered Fletcher - that he turned down. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
elyowl1 Posted July 3, 2020 Share Posted July 3, 2020 In a very average championship a fit Wickham for a season woukd be the difference between bottom half and a play off push. Since we lost Fletcher in the New Year we looked toothless and abject with no focal point to our attacking play. Since the restart we have looked better and in fairness could well have six points gained rather than four. I feel that with a fully fit Fletcher or Wickham we would have been able to pick up at least six or seven more points in that terrible run and still be in play off contention, even with the EFL charge hanging over us. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Da Cruz has done more in sub appearances than Rhodes has. No doubt about it. For me though I’d put Reach on the left and put Harris up front with Wickham.

Inspector Lestrade Posted July 3, 2020 Share Posted July 3, 2020 Unless he bangs in a few goals then it's a no from me. If he did would CP let him leave? We are living off past glories, where he has played decent he's not been anything special, and we should be looking elsewhere. Then there is his injury history, too much of a ticking bomb. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Certainly worth a try, Rhodes is not the answer that is plain to see. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
