Ain't dat da troof

It ain't necessarily So

[thenodrog]

yes Ive been reading a few articles saying that btw.

good luck to him there

I don't think the Newcastle fans will be happy about this

Prob why Ashley's doing it then. Ashley = The Premier Leagues answer to the Oystons.

did you watch the sportsdirect documentary a few weeks ago he's shrewd and unscrupulous BTW who would want to work in his distribution centre..

[Oldgregg86]

Based on what ?

That Rhodes and Gayle or very similar players with not much between them except ones rapid and ones not

[Rover_Shaun]

And one can score and the other ones called Gayle

[Oldgregg86]

I'd also swap Rudy&Marshall for Heskey

Do I detect a hint of sarcasm. I'm a fan of Rhodes but what I've seen of Gayle ( granted only on live games on sky and match of the day ) I just think he would offer more and be more of a threat. His movement and finishing is equal to Rhodes he's quicker and has proven he can do it in the premier league

And one can score and the other ones called Gayle

Gayle is more than capable of bagging 20 goals in the championship next season

[Rover_Shaun]

Gayles stats suggest otherwise

Whilst he would be worth a punt if offered as s makeweight valued at around 1m its taking it a bit far to be happy to swap. Gayle isn't even proven at Championship level. Another prem panic buy who should have developed a bit more before taking the step up, where he has struggled to make a real impact

[AggyBlue]

We have the divisions best goal scorer.

I just don't get all this 'let's get rid and try 'so and so'

[Oldgregg86]

Gayle was bought for 6 million scored 12 premier league goals in 19 starts. 2 goals in 3 starts in the fa cup and 4 goals in 2 starts in the league cup. So why he's now only worth 1 million is beyond me. Rhodes is yet unproven in the premier league and has yet to play week in week out against top defences. That's not to say he couldn't. A just think pound for pound Gayle has the better attributes

[ABBEY]

Don't worry browny will sort it

[Rover_Shaun]

With stats like that he will have a queue of Prem clubs. Sadly 12 in 48 apps and 6 in 20 championship apps doesnt seem so sparkly

[ABBEY]

Or none in a season for brownywonywoeny

[perthblue02]

Don't worry browny will sort it

Could get Gaz to get this forward coaching specialist in to solve the problem

Just shows how easily stats are manipulated to prove a point by both of us. It boils down to preference. It would b a disaster if Rhodes left. With ffp etc it's going to take some stroke of genius to find someone of his quality on a shoestring but IMO gayle is the slightly better all round player

Wary of rumours...but one circulating that Blackburn have rebuffed a #swfc approach for Ben Marshall might be close. I think he's a target

Wouldnt like to see Marshall leave because i do think he has quality , but he's frustrating to watch turning inside outside checking back turning inside once more ..... imagine what its like being a striker waiting for the cross to come in the box ,personally i think anything around £3m is a good fee for him

We cannot sell these players because we cannot replace them!!

I reckon the club will wait until after the season ticket deadlines before selling people. A bit like Osborne waiting until after the election to announce budget cuts.

[Neal]

Ah, the days of losing players like Marshall to dross like Sheffield Wednesday.

Let's hope it's all rubbish.

[jim mk2]

Alan Biggs has been working the Yorkshire football beat for donkey's years so the Marshall story is likely to be true.

And replace him with who ?

[glen9mullan]

The silence is deafening at Ewood at present .

Silent owners , silent boardroom and the usual FFP comments from Bowyer.

My season ticket renewal came through door last week , to date I have not even opened it I'm that disillusioned with our club at present .

It's about time we had a statement of intent , rather than the "feeling sorry for ourselves comments"

[Mike E]

Non-story really. Not even a bid rejected but just an approach.

I agree that we need a statement from the owners on the plan going forward.

I renewed 10 days ago my season ticket along with 4 other friends.

are you likely to renew Glen?

Last season , the product was very poor. Going rovers was like a habit/chore .

I'm seriously considering not renewing , The club has shown under Venkys that it's a club with no soul , it's empty .

I will see what the summer brings
