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

A different kind of pasty
Jul 5, 2003
30,455
West, West, West Sussex
148 championship games
83 championship goals

How anyone can say he is "over rated" is beyond me. Just look at his record for the past 4 years.......and at a club nowhere near promotion.

Yup. I mean, who on earth would want us to buy a striker that hasn't failed to score at least 21 goals every season since the 09/10 season, and looks on course to do it again this season (10 so far)

09/10 - 23
10/11 - 22
11/12 - 40
12/13 - 33
13/14 - 25
14/15 - 21

Silly old bat
The club announced their financial affairs with a total wage bill of £22 million. That includes the CEO, every player, manager, coaches, shop worker & stewards. I cannot see that one player would be getting more than £2 million.

He's been on a dangerous downward slope since 2011/12 :wink:

It's a downward trend and he looks on course to only score 17-18 goals this season.

It's ok to have a great goal scoring record but all the times he's been to the Amex he hasn't done much. His overall team play has looked poor.

I think Blackburn's poor record is a lot to do with their over reliance on a goalscorer who doesn't do much else. And if he was that good he'd be in the Premiership by now

Greer is on £20ish, imagine knockaert on £30ish, Bobby 20-30, or even low salary but performance bonus


When Knockaert left Leicester it was reported he was on 12,275 euros a week which is a bit less than £10k. As he left on a free, he probably didn't get a huge pay rise, but instead got a large signing on fee to sweeten the deal.

We do not pay big wages, so I doubt he is on more than £10k, with a hefty promotion bonus written into the contract, and a massive pay rise if we get promoted.

There is no one at our club on anything like £30k a week, over a 4 year contract that would cost the club over £6 million.

One of our players is on considerably over £ 42 k a week now


There are premier league clubs who don't pay that much, I think you mean £24k and not considerably more.

If only we had such a problem, instead we have a team that looks pretty and statistically creates lots of chances yet doesn't score goals. I know which I would rather have...

I think I'd rather be 5th in the table having scored 32, than 18th having scored 23.

The Moose has just confirmed that he's going to Sheffield Wednesday

If true, Rhode's goals will mean Wednesday get at least a play-off birth. He'll turn draws into wins and losses into draws. Fantastic signing with a Championship goal scoring record no other striker in the division can match. I'm profoundly jealous - just hope we get a star striker too.
