Or maybe, as it's the second time the deal has fallen through, he just doesn't want to go to Boro unless they're prepared to pay stupid money. If perhaps this is the case then if he gets a move to a more favoured club then he would lower his wage demands.
Couldn't care about his wages. If we are serious about promotion then we need to be serious about the wages we need to pay. Rhodes is an absolute no brainer. With the team we have behind him he will score goals for fun. I would absolutely love it if we signed him.
