Is Rhodes that bad that is was worth writing off the difference between the money paid to Boro' and what is saved on wages just to get rid of him?

Nick the Owl Posted August 30, 2020 Share Posted August 30, 2020 The striking situation is a perfect example of the bad decisions and unbalanced transfer policy we've had over the last few years. To think it used to be a case of which strikers were starting, going on the bench or missing out completely from a list of Hooper, Fletcher, Forestieri, Joao, Nuhiu and Winnall... to who's going to start alongside a misfiring and expensive Rhodes, let alone be on the bench is a ridiculous situation to find ourselves in. 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
striker Posted August 30, 2020 Share Posted August 30, 2020 29 minutes ago, Blatter said: What you’re actually suggesting is that Chansiri pays for our players to play for somebody else. Maybe even one of our rivals in the Championship. Let’s face it they’re not good enough to play in the Premier League. He needs permanent transfers, I can understand his thinking. So can I, but I dont think we get c£4m value depriving competitors of players we arent going to play. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It can’t be good for morale having the clubs highest earner basically being dead wood. Those been asked to put in a shift must feel a bit fed up by it.

The bottom line for me is that I wouldn't be in the least bit concerned about facing a team containing any or all of Westwood, Van Aken, Reach or Rhodes if they moved on.

Complete mismanagement, but comes as no surprise. We are a bloody shambles of a club from top to bottom. 1 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

There is just no pleasing them. It's possible to show fiscal restraint and have more than 1 striker at the club don't you think? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Triple O Posted August 30, 2020 Share Posted August 30, 2020 2 hours ago, ChinaOwl said: That is how I understood it. As we still had a staged payment to make to Middlesbrough, it would have cost more to give him away on a free transfer than keep him and pay his wages. Not only that it would have meant this year's portion of the fee we paid would have become accountable immediately making P&S even worse. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Another 20k a week for someone to sit in the stands and watch. The treatment table would get more ware than the grass on the pitch from him.
