So hang on. If I gain £12M+ in sales and then buy a player for £12M the he has in essence cost me £10M due to the return in VAT?
Touchy or what? You made a crack at one of my comments and I made one back, no malice, just a bit of banter. I'm not going to get into a my Dad can fight your Dad with you but I've done ok thanks. Pleased that you have too! Anyway, I'll be very surprised if we don't get Rhodes, SB will know from Steve Agnew what Rhodes' feelings are about it all, which is why SB isn't giving up yet. He'll be aware that if Blackburn block the move he'll just put in a transfer request in the knowledge that they won't want to try and keep a player who wants to move.
This is a big thread now. Without wanting to sift through all the usual bollocks, can anyone tell me if anything has developed on this? In my opinion, he'll sign, just for a lot of pounds. So, what's the latest?
The latest is, that having initially said he was available, Blackburn have now said the don't want to sell and we're probably going to look elsewhere.
Though it was reported that he applauded all 4 sides of the ground when he went off, which he doesn't do normally, which might indicate he played his last game for them. I wonder if he might put in a transfer request, if the Venky's decide not to sell?
Apparntly blackburns manager is now asking the owners for transfer funds which could force the sale of rhodes, bit of a 22 sell your top scorer to strengthen the team
Why not Hooper......8 Goal in 34 appearances in a poor Norwich team. Maybe he would get 10+ with the right service. He was good enough for us a year ago to look at. With him wanting a transfer, maybe 4 Million tops would get him.
Don't know about players, but I know a manager who would not want to manage premiership football. Terry Dolan.
it was his 100th game, that's all... he is staying at Blackburn, prob on a massive goal bonus and promotion bonus
Just got back in from the gym and saw this in the Paper Talk in the Sky transfer centre Hull boss Steve Bruce hopes to make it third time lucky with a £12m-plus offer for Blackburn hot-shot Jordon Rhodes. Is there ant truth in this? seems a lot of money for someone who hasnt been ion the prem as a top scorer
