Sky Sports reporting that 2 championship clubs have bid for Jordan Rhodes....

[Blues Rock DJ]

ah, the annual Jordan Rhodes thread !!

 

[glasfryn]

Its not long ago everyone was dreading Man Utd will recall Wilson.

A couple of indifferent games after being ill, he's been written off.

I still think he maybe very important and and shouldnt be written off, see the Charlton goal for example.

THIS
how lightweight was Peter Ward when he joined us it did'nt stop him
and if he were to play for us now there still would be those moaning about him

 

[Megazone]

Not correct. Not every failed transfer bid is because Albion ie: Tony Bloom didn't cough up enough of his cash.

Your point was that he picked Celtic over the Albion, which isn't true.

My point was that he wanted a club playing European football. Which was true.

*Not that we didn't cough up enough money.

Oh i dunno. Its a long time ago now. Who knows.

He doesn't even look that good anyway.

Correct. I would like to think that we would be in a similar position to a club like Celtic in terms of wage structure, and even if there wasn't a difference I'm not sure it would be significant enough to completely persuade someone to move to that club without any other incentives... other than things like European football.

I can't be bothered to do any research on SPL vs Championship TV deals, but I would imagine Celtic have the ability to pay much higher wages than than Brighton - bigger crowds, huge merchandising and (at the time) Champions League group stage money.

Totally agree - just happened to be the case with this one. It was quite understandable though having just forked out quite a bit on Ulloa.

Isn't Rhodes' old man a coach at Wednesday ?

 

[Tony Meolas Loan Spell]

Because SHORT TERM he would be ideal and he knows where the goal is!

if it happens we can kiss goodbye to finishing above Weds.... shame we don't seem to share the same drive to land those keys players just yet

Agree despite chailey****ingjems rhetoric.

Don't we ? No one knows who Albion are looking at. And what evidence do we actually have that Wednesday are in for Rhodes ?

 

[Ernest]

Agree despite chailey****ingjems rhetoric.

Lickers NEVER will understand if don't we SPECULATE we are going NOWHERE

Lickers NEVER will understand if don't we SPECULATE we are going NOWHERE

I am SPECULATING that we will sign a striker before 31st January................Hows that Ernest. Now it's up to you to tell me where we are going ?

 

[Postman Pat]

Cardiff want 'at least' £5m for Wolves target, Joe Mason. He's scored 5 goals in 19 appearances this season.

Madness.

Cliftonville in the MORNING for a SLAP up FULL English and I might have an EXTRA sausage too

Forgive the rhetoric fellas but given that in the last month or so we've already landed our #1 targets for a Prem League loan in face of competition from apparently dozens of clubs, a £2m+ winger (as well as Towell and a key short term left back loan) then you're being super harsh if thats a failure of "drive"...Poor old Paul Winstanley has seemingly been putting in the airmiles as well.
As for the elusive striker then given that we had little inkling more than 24 hours out that Wilson, Ridgewell, Knockeart were on their way then I'd suggest we've no idea ...yet if x or y are in the pipeline so i'd save the kissing goodbye to anything for a few more days yet.
