[Archived] Jordan Rhodes

[Tyrone Shoelaces]

It says in my paper Charlie Austin is having a medical next week prior to signing for Hull. A smart move on Hull's part. I think he may not be quite as clinical as Rhodes in front of goal but for me he ticks more boxes in the " all round striker " list

[Guest Norbert]

Now, if we can keep hold of Jordan, it would be great news if true. Burnley lose their goal machine, we keep ours.....

[Baggie192]

Morning all, out of curiousity what's he been valued at? Because one of our local papers has linked us with him. I can't see it myself, but stranger things have happened

[Guest Norbert]

At a wild guess, £10m+. Of course, we'd all like bidding to start at £30m, such is the importance of his goals to the overall cause.

[J*B]

Signed for 8million. Paid 2.5 million in wages so far. Probably got a ~500k signing on fee. Scored 28 goals last year.

The sensible price for him as things stand is around 12-14m, assuming Venkys want to make a profit on him. Saying that even then, the profit is extremely small. I don't think many clubs have enough money for him if I'm honest. I don't believe there are any major financial problems, while Venkys are many bad things, one good thing they are is sodding loaded.

Very unlikey then cheers lads

I think Burnley are going to have a proper stinker next season, cant see them being out of the bottom 6 all season unless they sign at least 5/6 good players fast(which I cant see happening) and I think there manager is terrible,

As things stand I think we have the players to be a solid top 8 team, the real pressure is going to be on Bowyer to show that he is a real manager in his own right and carry on the form from the final month of last season(and sustain over a full season) I imagine he will also have to deal with a lot more of the side issues that come with management next season.

[Shabani]

Sean Dyche is a rotten manager, I can't imagine playing in one of his teams is particularly enjoyable

Won't last the season

[yoda]

Dyche might be the solution for Gav etc to avoid a ban

[USABlue]

Well Baggie, now your lot. Looks like Jordan is going to be linked with all and sundry.

[chaddyrovers]

looks like Swansea aren't buying Rhodes.

they are set to sign Bony.

[Rover_Shaun]

Austin has failed his medical at Hull and the deal looks to be off.

Uncle Steve to point Hull in Rhodes' direction?????

[AJW]

i'd also be watching the Benteke situation at Villa , Bent is on his way out if Benteke leaves too , that give's them 2 strikers to find and £25m to do it

I was Thinking that the other day tho i think if villa wanted a striker who can just finish and is not an all rounder why not just keep Bent.

[Andy]

Agreed.

In my opinion, Bent is a better forward than Rhodes at this stage of Jordan's career.

Why literally throw £10m-15m away for the sake of it?

Younger, higher sell-on value , cheaper wages and the relationship between Bent and Lambert is non-existent

i'm not trying to push Rhodes out of the door , but everyone who believed he's staying because he says he's likes it here is very naive , the transfer window is only starting to warm up , i've said it before and i will be delighted if i'm wrong but Jordan Rhodes wont be here come September

He likes his center fwd to be all action the relationship between bent and lambert is poor because Lambert does not think he brings enough to the team when he starts as the main striker therefore he does not play him therefore i'd struggle to see them buying an inferior version of Bent.

Can see your point, but what do you think about Lambert believing he can mould Rhodes into a more "complete" striker?

The Arrogance Variable/Grandeur Delusion... Never something to ignore, surely?

[Jock]

Damn. On two fronts! Mind you I don't know if Hull could match our asking price for Rhodes, which I guess is £12m+.

I hope your right but the new TV money is coming through, so smaller Prem teams have bigger budgets. Even Norwich and Southampton could afford 12+. Hopefully they'll keep looking abroad for cheaper options.

The only thing i could see he is buying Rhodes for the Bent replacement and someone else to Replace Benteke but there again if you don't play with a poacher £12m is a lot to spend on someone like Rhodes at this stage.

[AJW]

Grant Holt isn't exactly "all action" is he ? and he did a pretty good job for Lambert

[jim mk2]

Bent is finished at Villa so if they'd like to give us him plus some cash it would be a good deal for us IMO. Bent's a much better allround player than Rhodes is ever likely to be.

All conjecture of course but fun all the same.

Does the new telly wonga not make every team loaded though?

[AJW]

Not sure how the money is divided up Abs , but when Swansea are buying £12m players and Southampton are looking at buying £20m players like Damiao .... then yes probably

[ABBEY]

Indeed AJW
