smooth 114 Posted April 30, 2019 Just been thinking how much Rhodes may be priced at. We all saw the recent article where discussions will follow 2-3 weeks after the end of the season. Sheff Wednesday noting they have 7 strikers and he is nearer the bottom of that list. I think we need 2 additional strikers and then morris, idah and srbeny to play for that fourth option, with the players left out to go out on loan. We need a Pukki style forward, no question. But would Rhodes be that third option for a plan B? I just wonder how much he really is priced at. Yes his wages are the big debate but I wonder where his head is. It could be his last chance at the prem., he would maybe be third choice, or should he go on loan again in the championship, maybe play more and maybe have a club who are able to afford his wages pay them.

Ginja 43 Posted April 30, 2019 While I think Rhodes could potentially want a move here, can we offer him wages that will tempt him? Wednesday will want about £5 million for him, can't see it happening, especially at 29 years old he's just not really the sort of purchase I can imagine us making.

lake district canary 4,830 Posted April 30, 2019 It was noticeable that in the few minutes rhodes has had on the pitch in various matches he has always been there to either score or at least have a very good chance of scoring - so that suggests to me he would be useful in the squad next season. Some of the chances he has missed were probably down to not getting enough game time, but cup games he proved very handy last season and would be next season too. Worth spending a bit on imo. 1 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Leedscanary 389 Posted April 30, 2019 I can see a Huckerby-esque scenario where Jordan will make the move happen Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
smooth 114 Posted April 30, 2019 I can see that possibly being the only way he will be here Leeds canary. We know the European market could bring us great value so he is up against our very good scouting network. He may have a place on the bench here, but he will be in the premier League, he will have a chance. Sheff wednesday will probably take a lower fee as wages are so high. I would expect him to be offered lower wages here. So it becomes does he want/love to play for NCFC but know he will be a squad player. Or does he look for another team in the champ who may offer him first team football, who may offer him similar wages to us or even more? Teams such as,bDerby, forest or any of the other big teams in the championship who fail during the play offs Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Ian 1,211 Posted April 30, 2019 Would be surprised if Wednesday want 5m for a high earner who's not been in their plans, and has one year left to run on their contract. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
AJ 1,358 Posted April 30, 2019 If we want him, and he wants to come here, it will happen. Weds won’t hold out for too much as they will want him off their books anyway so it will probably be a nominal fee really Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Hank shoots Skyler 2,094 Posted April 30, 2019 I don’t see much point in pushing for this transfer, he’s not got enough in his hold up play to serve us in the prem IMO. Can’t see us spending a few million and high wages on someone who will likely be a plan C at best next season - he is also passed his peak now. Unfortunate as he seems to genuinely love it here!

sonyc 6,144 Posted April 30, 2019 I would imagine a fee might be around £1 to 1.5m given the length of contract. But even if wide of the mark, more importantly, would we wish to spend 5% and more of our PL budget on Jordan? Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
spencer 1970 214 Posted April 30, 2019 According to Transfermarkt, no other player at NCFC has a higher market value 🤪 https://www.transfermarkt.co.uk/norwich-city/kader/verein/1123 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Agree he has looked pretty sharp in the very few minutes playing time he’s had this season but you have to wonder why, at his age, he hasn’t managed to establish himself at a Premier league club ? The reason is probably that he’s comfortably good enough for Championship level but not Premier. Similar story with Robert Earnshaw and Dwight Gayle. Harsh fact of life but I think the money could be better spent elsewhere. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
