Where is Tickler anyway? I miss his up to date news bulletins Maybe he has gone on holiday with Stuart Blampey? They both seem to have gone AWOL
SSN reporting we've had a third bid rejected for Jordan Rhodes. I suspect he may well now hand in a transfer request after his shoddy treatment from the chicken merchants. TWT as always.
Word on the street is that bid number 3 has been dismissed. This is only my street though, don't know what they're saying on yours.
I wouldn't put any more bids in now, he's not worth more than 12m, he's done well in the championship, but for 12m you are wanting a proven goalscorer in the PL, liverpool only paid 16m for balotelli, who is a proven international aswell as a proven PL striker, rhodes is worth 10m perhaps, but no more. I think bruce is panic buying now!
Then I suggest putting on your favourite Britney Spears record, platting your hair and ringing up your favourite girlfriends for that big sleepover you're always planning but never ever find the time to have. That should help you relax; just go easy on the experimentation, I'm not sure training bras are meant to be torn off in fits of passion. Meanwhile us men will just sit and wait and see what happens, quietly confident that our manager knows what he's doing.
No, Is there a sale on cues or something.. anyway give it a rest will you? (did you see what I did there?)
Rhodes vs Balotelli: Apart from Balotelli wouldn't sign for the lowly Hull City, I doubt he knows where it is. Rhodes: We all should know his stats/probable wage etc... Balotelli: A top class prem striker, only 25? although he looks older, but it's not only the 16m what's his wage demands? £100k+ per week? Also he has the same risk as Rhodes but in a different manner, Rhodes isn't proven, but he's apparently a decent guy who puts his head down and works, Balotelli can be a nightmare, as he's only young so he may have got over this, but unlikely. He'll be puffing cigs during training and getting sent off for punching be it opposition, team mates or manager, he's not big into training either, he is potentially TROUBLE. It's like comparing a TVR with a Z4, the Z4 isn't as special but it's a decent performer, but also won't overheat and blow fuses every week like the TVR will Rhodes over Balotelli Welbeck over Balotelli too Welbeck or Rhodes?
I assume you are talking about another forum. Cos that type of thing happens everyday on here (if not hourly) and it's a 99.9% male poster forum. Us ladies are a tad more restrained.
Back on topic.. going beyond £12m for a non PL proven goalscorer is silly, Le Fondre was a "goal machine" and where's he now?
Is Rhodes worth Long + 3 million? It might be better to think of it like that than think of it like 15 mill.
