Story of my life...

£6m and they can pull the head off it

Can't see why he'd go to Wigan though.......:/

That's why he won't.

Andy Carroll £35 million and not fit to lace Rhode's boots.

Rumour doing the rounds that Wigan will use money from McCarthy sale to put in a bid for Rhodes. So some people have put on bets I assume which has led to the odds being cut.

who buying McCarthy?

More worryingly, a reliable person told me that West Brom's chief scout was at the game today, they must be in the market for a striker after what has happened with Anelka this week.

that's doesn't surprise me that there is interest in him from them, but are they will to pay the money for him? 10 mil plus for him IMO! Its alright talking the talk BUT can they walk the walk. time will tell

This is from Glen Mullan on twitter who is a very good source

Rhodes won't join another championship club , not today not tomorrow , not ever , tomorrows chip paper !!!!!!!!!!

Wouldn't read too much into Rhodes to Wigan , that will b a non starter

Gken was asked this:-what do you know?

Glen Reply was horses mouth !!!!!!

[Ricky]

Yep, because Jordan is obviously going to tell glen that he is interested in moving to another championship club.

Not saying he will but just stating that he's hardly going to tell fans of the club that he currently plays for what his intentions are.

Ricky your dead right. The horse was in a claimer last night at Wolverhampton.

Spot on !

If no PL interest in Rhodes then he has a decision to make, stay here and things might get better with the PL only a distant dream or move to a Championship club that is well structured, well run and very likely to be banging down the PL door this season.

A no brainer.

[Mercer]

Why has Rhodes been cut from 16/1 to evens to join Wigan. Where has that come from

Can't find a market this morning.

Hmmm.

I do agree, however more with the "No brainer" comment applying to you and the sentiments you cherry pick.

No other championship bar QPR will pay 10m+ and £30k a year for a player. I say QPR because they have Harry "let's bankrupt a club and then moan about transfer prices and wages" Redknapp. I hate banging on about FFP but you constantly ignore it.

MM, The last time I was here, YOU put me off the website for a fortnight due to your incessant championing of Rhodes to Bolton. To save face, (which I believe is impossible after the "Uncle Eddie" comments) you are now sticking to your "he'll be gone by september 2nd" story.

To be fair, you may be right in the sense he may leave, but it will not be to anything other than a premier league club. He is proven in this league now, and that means the next step is the top division. The chance of him jumping ship to another Championship club is about as likely as the nailed on prediction that you claimed Venkys would be gone by September 2nd. You like those bold predictions I see!

You now becoming a Wigan fan now. thought it was Bolton last week. what happened to your Wee Dougie or is it wee Owen/Coyle. Wish you would make your mind up

Before we get too far into this. where are Wigan getting the money from? Selling McCarthy? Don't see Everton signing him unless they sell Felliani.

[John]

Would be shocked if Rhodes moved to another Championship club - not sure any PL clubs would pay more than £5 million for him at the moment so hopefully he stays....

How do you think Whelan made his fortune ?

He knows how to invest, when to invest and when to sell (JJB !).

Dave is a shrewd old cookie so don't be losing sleep worrying how he will find the money.

Last week, it was uncle Eddie at Bolton and now uncle Dave at Wigan. You just need decide what team now to support either wee Dougie or Wee Owen!!!

it will be interesting to see if Wigan will bid the 10 mil asking price Rovers wanted for Rhodes? I don't think they will and Rhodes will still be here

If they do, then maybe he will go, but Rovers must have his replacements in before we let him go. Beechio and Wells for me.

don't forget also that Huddersfield will get 5.5 million pounds as this is still what we owned them and if we do sell him, then they will that fee in full, leaving us 4.5 million to spend.

Well done Chaddy - at least you now seem to accept that he might just leave.

You are on the road to recovery !

Jordans celebration after scoring his 1st goal and the amount of time he spends applauding all the fans before and after the kick-off showed to me what a honest good natured man he is, I don't think he'd be the type to be trying to engineer or push for a move behind the scenes whilst telling everybody how happy he is here and that he going nowhere.

Unless a ridiculous offer from a prem club came in, I don't think he's going anywhere this year, its all just mischievous/scummy bookies and tabloid hacks playing games.

When you take this comment further and apply it to scandalmongering on here by certain posters - it makes you wonder if newspapers or websites will benefit by hysteria around the future of a fan favourite... The answer is "course they benefit" due to improved sales and site traffic and wonder if this "greases" certain posters "wheels"

chaddy, stop letting wee mercer brainwash you, he's just an arrogant, attention seeking, dispenser of baloney that's just itching for one of his fantasy tales to come true so he can brag and say he told you so.

Mate, Mercerman is clearly a troll and hedging his bets expanding even more clubs JR will supposedly go to in the very slim hope he turns out to be right. Lets just rejoice in the fact that when he's wrong he'll just confirm once more to be the utter knob that most of us on here already know him to be.

[EgyptianPete]

Your comments are out of order as usual, about time you got a ban, lets say until 2nd September, but then of course you will be saying Jordon's off on loan to some no mark team cos we can't afford his wages, --- oh what i have given you the next Bet dam.

[Gav]

We all know mercerman takes a load of old bunkum, yes he's got a couple of things right since his appearance on the day Kean was appointed but in the main he's got most things wrong, spectacularly wrong might I add.

He's been throwing out lines regarding Venkys selling the club before the season starts, thats been proven wrong yet again, he's edged his bets that Rhodes will be a Bolton player come September, I'd wager that will be wrong also, but I don't think it takes genius to work out we need to balance the books, so selling our prized asset isn’t that much of a revelation surely.

All this said I like the chap, he's good to have around, and I like reading his posts, keep up the good work Mercer

If venkys do sell Rhodes by the way then thats the season over in my opinion, venkys its over to you.

should this thread not be merged with the Clear out begins thread?

mercermans posts might get a bit lost then
