If that is a gamble TB is prepared to take and it doesnt cause unrest within the camp by all means but the important point is squad harmony not being broken.

Too similar to the Hemed/Murray striker. About the opposite of what we're looking for at the moment.

For as long as Tony Bloom holds the purse strings, the likes of Jordan Rhodes will never play for this cub.
I'm not saying it's right, and I'm not saying it's wrong. It's just that Tony would never pay an inflated transfer fee, or inflated wages for anybody like that.

Do you not think he will consider it realising what might have been had he splahed the cash and GM signed in January.

I hope Jordan still has a future with us, his granddad has recently died and that could explain his absence. The lad has really good attributes he is not blessed with pace but he knows how to score and reads the game so well, having watched him first hand now I have no doubts about him being good enough for the premiership , I just hope he gets that chance..if we do sell I think we may live to regret that decision.

I'm not sure but I think he has a soft spot for Sheff W. So if one of the parachute clubs don't pick him up, they might.
And break the wage structure by a long way that you suggested we had used a loophole not to break re Murray

There are always to circumvent a situation.
After he joined Middlesbroguh, we scored more points than they did.
If we offered him enough money, we could break FFP rules and fail to get promoted. Genius.

FFP is now virtually dead in the wood. Yes we did score more points as we were behind them but he scored in some vital games usually late on in the game to give them the required points.
They're still putting transfer bans on clubs that break the rules, and our club wants to stay within the rules.
No, we didn't score more points because we were behind them, we scored more because we were better. While they had Rhodes, we were better.
He often didn't play well and only scored 6 goals in 18 games. We had players that scored goals too. The fact is, we got more points than them while he was there, and had we had him, we might have got even less points.

Compared with Sam B's enormous goal tally for last season.

And who was available, and might have been willing to come here in January that we might have gone for (apart from that bloke who came on as a sub for the West Ham squatters today, and the loan we wanted that the parent club wouldn't agree to)?

No doubt Murray is the top earner, but at a reported £30k a week, an outlay of £1.5m for a striker of his quality was great business.
Sam provided assists, it's obvious that scoring wasn't the main thing he provided. Rhodes was all about scoring, and he didn't do a lot of that. BG is trying to argue that Rhodes scored the goals that got Middlesbrough promoted. He only scored 6 of their 26 goals since he joined, so no, he didn't.
