Jordan Rhodes - we are 'interested'

[Postman Pat]

According to Derby Telegraph / Daily Mail

Derby County are one of five Championship clubs monitoring Jordan Rhodes' situation at Middlesbrough, according to a report.

The Daily Mail says the Rams, Aston Villa, Sheffield Wednesday, Norwich City and Brighton are interested in the 26-year-old striker should he become available in January.

Hull City, Burnley and Celtic are also being linked with the former Blackburn Rovers' frontman.

Middlesbrough boss Aitor Karanka has confirmed Rhodes can leave Middlesbrough if the player wishes although Karanka insists he knows nothing about reported interest in Rhodes from other clubs.

[BUTTERBALL]

Not too surprised at this, we were in for him at the same time as Boro but couldn't match their offer.

 

[Nixonator]

2 of those would blow any contract we could offer out of the water.

 

[Marshy]

If they are all interested.... I would image our chances are slim... regardless of league positions..

 

[Whoislloydy]

Can't see him working with Murray so it's a no from me

 

[James Bond's body double]

Wasn't he recently seen at a Sheffield Wednesday game, the seem to believe he is on his way there.

Maybe he would only play the away ga
mes.

He hardly justified the circa 10M Middlesborough paid for him last season. His arrival seemed to spark discord in the camp and he only got a few, albeit important goals. I would argue they'd have finished above us with a higher margin had they not bought him.

quality player...It`s all about how he fits with us...worth a punt if we can afford him IMO

Chairman bought him , Krankie didn't want him so no wonder he hasn't settled there but he got the goals like at Bolton that got them up

He had his head turned apparently.

I think his dad or his uncle is on the coaching staff or something....They are gushing over their chairman stating he is gonna get them to the Premier league no matter what it takes etc etc....

9M+ and 40k a week and a massive culture shock for him.

I'd say no. Affordable at half the fee and half the salary maybe.

 

[SIMMO SAYS]

I could run my two man plumbing firm 24hrs a day call out for 42 years

Play 22 years Sunday League and only win most well behaved team (1978ish)

And I would still be be better than pot hole roads

 

[Puppet Master]

With the wages he'd demand, absolutely nee chance.

 

[severnside gull]

Half recall seeing that he has a relative on the Wednesday staff?
Can't see we would be after him when we have Murray as I can't see them playing together.
It's a Baldock upgrade that we need most

 

[StonehamPark]

100% No thanks

 

[portlock seagull]

It's a no from me (If i were to fund it, so basically my opinion counts for shit...just like everyone else's on here!)

 

[Megazone]

All depends on what fee we could get when we have to sell him after getting promoted.

It looks like the paper has just lumped all the clubs together rather than publishing any facts.
