SolihullOwl79 Posted November 13, 2020 Share Posted November 13, 2020 I believe there is a clause in his contract related to appearances and goals scored. If he goes past either figure then a sum of money has to be paid to Boro and it's not peanuts. This is why Monk didn't play him. 1 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

You sign a goal scorer then don't play him in case he scores too many??? 16 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest Therealrealist Posted November 13, 2020 Share Posted November 13, 2020 We owe boro anyway...according to all tap room accountants on here we have saved a fortune by not giving him away to Norwich 2 years ago...despite paying him 37k a week in the meantime..

It's bit different to that though isn't it. He was bought when it was expected we'd go up to thr promised land and now instead we're fighting to stay in the division and in deep mire with FFP.

My point was; you don't sign a striker then keep him on the sidelines in case he scores too many. Doesn't make sense. 4 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
DoorDoor Posted November 13, 2020 Share Posted November 13, 2020 scored 3 against forest last season dropped next game, scored opening game this season dropped next game, most of his apperences are from the bench and he still has the best goals to game ratio this season 5 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Taking the club over the edge making more breaches and having more points taken off. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The last 2 managers couldn’t wait to drop him after he hit form. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

DJMortimer Posted November 13, 2020 Share Posted November 13, 2020 (edited) In the last season and a quarter, he's made 11+17 appearances. Obviously a long way from being ever present, but hardly indicative of someone not being played because of such clauses. Maybe the reason he hasn't featured much is a lot more straightforward and is also consistent with much of the last five years despite being at three clubs under several managers? As for 'hitting form', either side of the City Ground miracle, Rhodes' form for Wednesday (between 30th December 2017 and the present day) is 19+21 appearances and 2 goals.

Emilianenko Posted November 13, 2020 Share Posted November 13, 2020 5 minutes ago, sage owl said: Hit form ?. Yes . Played away at Hull, scored the winner, got man of the match and never played under Jos again.Hit a hat-trick at a Forest , after turning the Brentford game, back on the bench after failing to score in the next game. Starts first two games this season, scores a goal in our biggest win and earns 4 points from 6. Back on the bench despite woeful form from the rest of the strikers. 6 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
