If this proves to be the case it could make Rovers winners in every respect. Lambert appears to have got the players he wanted, Rhodes - who is a good pro - will really have to up his game to get in the team PL appears to be building to get himself in the summer shop window.

Might work out very well.

Yep, just posted similar in the transfer thread, win win for PL

Not put Boro and Gibson in a good light at all.

We don't know who has been changing the goalposts but someone has.

Gutted for Rhodes because he deserved his chance and had been very professional throughout.

He deserves his chance in the Premier League. Middlesbrough aren't there. If/when they go up then I'd have no gripe with him going there but we've still to play them twice this season and I wouldnt want him lining up for them against us when we're in a dogfight.

I agree Rhodes is a fantastic professional and I have no doubt if he returns then he will be 100% committed to BRFC until told otherwise.

This might affect Lambert's business today/tomorrow but this summer is going to need the owners to bankroll heavy spending from their own funds. That was the case when they appointed Lambert and nobody could have known for sure that Middlesbrough would be coming in for Rhodes. So we're back to square one on that one.

At least this time nobody can blame Rovers for this fiasco!

Shame for Rhodes. I'm not sure Lambert wants him to stay to and now Boro appear not to want him. It could have course be a negotiating ploy by Gibson and the deal will go through at reduced terms at the last minute.

If he stays then I won't complain.

Surely Boro knew the costs of the deal before taking to Jordan?

Can't grasp why this has fallen over now. It's a shame for everyone involved. Boro really haven't come out of this well at all.

I think Gibson has panicked after seeing how we played at Oxford and how we changed the style without JR

Not sure how I feel about all this..was kinda set of him going and rebuilding..feeling concerned about how this affects the progression of the team. Also why feel sorry for him? He wanted out..he's very good at playing the nice lad.

If he stays or goes, there are positives both ways. I would prefer to rebuild now rather than this circus carry on until the summer. One thing is for sure, Rhodes will behave himself.

This will really mess with his head though. It sounds like either someone doesn't rate him up there, somebody got greedy, or their 1st choice is available now.

With all this social media stuff, you get too many pieces of info filtering through and this kind of thing has always happened. The deal might well be back on again this time tomorrow.

Absolutely. One call from his Uncle 'what are you currently on?'.

Something smells fishy.

Not really. We'll have been in for other players to strengthen other positions. Unless Venkies step in and cover any costs that may be incurred we're back to square one with a guy on 40k a week who'll be probably sat on the bench p-ssing the rest of the squad off !

Gibson is a crackpot for that. We will see rhodes mettle now if he stays, not many players would try after that.

Dirty tactics, they knew his wage. Hope karanka walks

Rhodes will knuckle down and work. He won't sulk. Similar thing happened last year too.

I think the outcome will be a bigger bid off another club now that it is possible to get one accepted by the owners, or has shelfy gone rogue again ?

who scored in a European final and is doing well in Italy

Yep a good player with proper football tactics, even looked good under Kean until they realised they could get 6 mill for him and forced him out. Always liked Niko but he was as infective as Rhodes with the ball down his throat.
