Jordan Rhodes to go out on loan

edna krabappel · Mar 9, 2015

Not a "could do a job" thread, more a case of what a poor bit of decision making by Rovers?

Could have sold him for >£12 million in the transfer window, and now having to look at loaning him out to Derby or Norwich, as they've failed FFP so miserably.

Not been quite so lethal this season, but you'd think he'd be exactly the sort to fire an already-decent side like Derby or Norwich to promotion, surely?

At last ffp looks to be working.

WhingForPresident · Mar 9, 2015

Read somewhere this morning that Sheffield Wednesday

lolol

were going to bid £12 million for him, can't quite remember where now. Maybe I imagined it.

Sign him up, Tony !

Boost season ticket sales, and put down the marker about next season's direction :rock:

Sheffield Wednesday have just been taken over by some Far Eastern investor (whoever heard of such a thing?) and are talking about spending big to make a decent Premier League push next season. I'm not sure Jordan Rhodes will be on their radar though: their squad needs an awful lot of work to even get them in contention.

Also, this loan to Norwich/Derby looks like one of those loan-with-a-commitment-to-buy at the end, so he'll most likely end up at one of them permanently. Tough decision for him to make. Derby are a great side but wobbling severely of late. Norwich have been largely ineffective this season but have a great squad, plenty of money and are making a very strong late run, probably just at the right time.

Okay please accept my apologies, but he probably would 'do a job here'. Though I guess it's unlikely we'll pay the wages.
However I imagine he'd have more reason to tie his laces up if he came here, than he could expect at Derby or Norwich.

Either one is a substantial step up from Blackburn though.

Is this fact or just a rumour? It all seems a bit unlikely

who?

Del Boy · Mar 9, 2015

God knows what position we would play him... Attacking fullback?

Publius Ovidius · Mar 9, 2015

Bring him home Chris P. We need his firepower at the moment.

With Baldock & CMS likely to be on the injured list, possibly playing tomorrow?

Se20 · Mar 9, 2015

With him on £40 k a week, I should imagine any loan deal would involve ALL of the wages being paid.

Sheffield Wednesday :lolol:

Which won't bother Norwich in the slightest, I should imagine. Derby haven't been big wage payers (compared to certain other sides) until this season, but they may well view it as a gamble worth taking now.

The Wally with the Brolly was practically in tears about his need to bring in a striker.

He'll go to Derby for sure.
