Uncle Steve and Uncle John want Jordan to come to them. Ditch the 30k a week and offer him some sweeties.
Over the years we've made numerous approaches to buy players only for the players to not even come near the club, or area. One thing we can never be accused of is being a fashionable club. But nothing wrong with family connections to sell the club and area.
Rhodes isn't worth £8m to us, he has only just had a good season in the championship, too soon to risk that amount when he hasn't played Prem footie
Blackburn Rovers may not well have much choice but to sell looking at this piece. By getting Rhodes wages off the books alone could well be the first place they will start. Any fee is a brucie bonus to them. A squad reduction in numbers wont hurt either. www.roverstrust.com/
I don't think they'll be looking to release him, but it might affect how much they let him go for. It won't be anything close to £8m and if they want it all up front (which after reading that sounds like they will) they'll have to accept a lower amount.
A buyers market especially when the selling club are desperate. Look how we got fleeced over Turner, S.Hunt and Moyokoulo as examples. The little matter of family being at Hull City may be whats tipping the balance in our favour.
Turner was worth more to us than the £4m that he was sold for, but I suspect it was a lot less than Sunderland got for him when they sold him on and we got a decent price for Hunt and Mouyokolo. In fact, if anything, Wolves got fleeced with the Mouyokolo deal.
We got fleeced big time over Turner as everyone knows thanks to the wastefulness of Dufferman. The mackems knew how desperate we were. With Lescott moving from Everton to Man City for £24m as an example of the market rate at that time we should have got at least £8m for Turner. With Brentford due a cut that reduced what we got £2.8m out of the £4m from memory so Dufferman screwed 2 clubs over Turner. Whatever Sunderland did not get from Norwich is down to them. As for Hunt and Moyo, we could and should have got more but as things worked out i would agree over Moyo. The point being that a club in a financial mess needing to reduce costs never get the true value. Whoever allowed Rhodes to get wages of £42k a week from what Udders were paying was a desperate throw of the dice which has notm worked out. Now the piper is calling the tune.
Well Rhodes has been way overpaid since he joined Blackburn. I suspect that it will be down to one of 2 choices. 1)Play in the PL on say wages of £20/25k a week or 2)stay with Blackburn who may end up doing a Pompey ? What drives Rhodes along. For now he is away anyway with the Scotland international squad who play on friday night. Rhodes can also consider that if he comes to us and does well then bigger clubs will come in for him and pay him more than £42k a week anyway. Its a gamble on both sides for sure. Nobody said he was a bad buy but he is not a £42k a week striker...YET.
man city wages for the last year or so were £202 million, how much are ours expected to be next season? £35-40 million? massive
