norfolkchance1 0 Posted January 31, 2012 Only trouble with that is that Clark was part of the management team with Roeder who sent Martin to Luton. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Row D Seat 7 0 Posted January 31, 2012 It does seem strange that the OP sets up account on 30/01/12 and posts a big rumour that encourages betting. Then leaves without a trace. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

HuckerbysMullet 0 Posted January 31, 2012 In all seriousness though, I know Lee Clark has come out and said time and time again that Rhodes will be going no-where in this window, but with all this latest speculation surely he should come out and say it again? That way it puts it all to bed and it''s not as if it''s wasted words, I''m sure Hudds fan''s are begging for that to happen today. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Row D Seat 7 0 Posted January 31, 2012 Apparently Rhodes will sign for Villa if Bent goes to Liverpool today. Rumour from a few Midland based journalists on Twitter. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
