Alex Moss 2,166 Posted August 20, 2018 Well, if you are to believe this report, then we’re in the driving seat. If so, must mean there’s some movement on the the Oliveira front I’m guessing (perhaps he’s going the other way?)...http://www.hitc.com/en-gb/2018/08/20/norwich-battling-aston-villa-to-sign-ligue-1-striker-julio-tavar/ Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Blurboy1980 36 Posted August 20, 2018 Does any know if there is an option to buy Rhodes after the loan? Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Alex Moss 2,166 Posted August 20, 2018 [quote user="Ben"] Ben, to you (and I still prefer the Square and Compass)[/quote] Haha, next time you’re down then you’re welcome to give me a shout for a pint, Ben 👍 This Tavares guy looks very good to me, and I feel would really suit both the style we’re trying to implement, and the Championship. Big, strong, fast, two footed, a good variety of goals, decent heading, can take a penalty too. If Jordan Rhodes gets injured then we could be in trouble up top so I’d definitely like to see this happen, though how much truth is in it, I don’t know. https://youtu.be/mO5Dxn218e4 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Yellowbeagle 0 Posted August 20, 2018 [quote user="Blurboy1980"]Does any know if there is an option to buy Rhodes after the loan?[/quote]I heard a rumour at the time if signing that one of the stumbling blocks was the option to buy and that we didn''t want that as part of the deal. Seems strange though, so I''m guessing Wednesday wanted some sort of guarantee of purchase. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
king canary 8,409 Posted August 20, 2018 Spending 2.5m on a 29 year old seems unlikely. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

ron obvious 1,661 Posted August 20, 2018 It''s a (possible) loan. If he tears the league up then £2.5m is a bargain for a 29 year old, if he doesn''t we send him back. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Dorset Canary 0 Posted August 20, 2018 Interesting one this one, his age definitely seems on the high side with a view of one for the future. Would be a tad surprised if we could afford Rhodes and this guy... That said it would be nice to see it happen, he looks like a decent option up front if Rhodes isn''t working/fit.Yes totally agree Square & Compass do nice pasties, must pop in for a beer soon Alex. After losing our two old dogs last year we have a new pup and he will love the Purbecks! Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
AJ 1,330 Posted August 21, 2018 Maybe after Srbenys shocker against Stevenage they''ve decided we need some back up to Rhodes# Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

BobLoz3 602 Posted August 21, 2018 Ah... Ok. Just reading some comments from Farke''s presser and it seems he''s suggesting there''s nothing in this one.What a shame, if true, as he looked a pretty interesting player. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
