[Archived] Rhodes To Boro

[gumboots]

Sky Sports just (again) announced he's expected in Middlesbrough this afternoon, so the Blubberhouses theory could be correct!

especially if they don't realise it's closed and have to find a diversion. Coming the other way the marked diversion takes you back into Harrogate to go to ilkley and Otley. Adds 45 mins to your journey

[tomphil]

Going through Harrogate is a crawl at the best of times never mind hometime . Should've charter a chopper Jordan you penny pinching smog lover !

[jim mk2]

Perhaps he went on Trans Pennine Express and there's been a signal failure at Mythomroyd Junction.

If this is true, we should try and negotiate him as part of the deal.

"I'm led to believe it's £13m all in for Jordan Rhodes."

That was on the bbc rolling news.

Mmmm. Thats being packaged differently, from the £9mill plus add ons.. I'm damn sure the fee hasn't gone up. Could be a case of overall package is £13mill, but more instalments or add ons. Hope Venkys haven't bent over to make this happen.

Jim that would be silly - the TPE doesn't go that way.

Not like Jim to get his facts wrong

so i get home this morning from night shift when the JR deal to boro was all but dead in the water. then i wake up so half hour ago and he is on the way back to boro, allegedly. i am will to bet that rovers are working hard behind the scenes to make some things happen in our favour.

Could be we've asked for the whole fee upfront for arsing us about yesterday?

There can't be a junction at Mytholmroyd surely Jim ?

[allanncd]

+ signing on fees and whatever we paid to take them on loan to begin with. Probably nearer £3m in total.

Possibly but about £1m of that funded from the Ollsson/Koita fees.

I would hazard a guess the extra money is going to Jordan.

I think Jim is a pre Beeching kind of guy

Or Balaji went postal.

Wouldn't put that pass venkys hahaha. Imagine Rhodes gets to Boro, and they tell him the deal is off again wonder how that one would turn out

[jim mk2]

Calder Valley route. Is that Northern ? Or am I think of Milner Royd Junction? In that case he's most likely stuck behind a freight train between Halifax and Leeds

WHERE IS JORDAN RHODES ?

[Claytons Left Boot]

Just been spotted in the White Bull at Gisburn, p!!ssed as a skunk.

Did he get his round in ?

[had.e.nuff]

He might have called back home for a bigger wallet

[J*B]

Did he get his round in ?

His agent decided it was all on the house.

[Claytons Left Boot]

Well on his wages (and proposed bonuses) he's bought the whole village a drink.

Paul Lambert's followed him in there with a massive mug of Nescafé.

[G Somerset Rover]

Kamy saying on Twitter all of the money will be paid during the summer.

If true, I guess that means best we can hope for this window is another loan. Gulp.

[chaddyrovers]

Rhodes arriving shortly at Boro.

Also look like we will get the Rhodes money in the summer so it will allow us to spend then and money appears on next season accounts

[Kie_BRFC]

If that's true then that is pathetic
