Better and younger! I would not be surprised if the club got £1m for him and more £m went into other areas because you are right, £1m is daylight robbery.

Tommo_b Posted January 20, 2017 Share Posted January 20, 2017 I actually think Rhodes would do really well for us if he signed alongside Lansbury and Hourihane, on paper we would have one hell of an attack for Championship level. Bree and Amavi up and down the wings.... surely.... SURELY we would be winning game 5-4 every week Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
nnock1984 Posted January 20, 2017 Share Posted January 20, 2017 Four signings?!?! 1 - Hourihane 2 - Bree 3 - Rhodes 4 - Brady Johnstone Bree Chester Baker Amavi Adomah Lansbury Hourihane Brady Kodjia Rhodes Bunn, Elphick, Bacuna, Jedinak, Grealish, McCormack, Gabby Selling Weswtood and Ayew to fund it! 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I think we will line up like this, if we get what we want: Johnstone Bree - Chester - Baker - Amavi Jedi Lansbury - Hourihane Adomah - Grealish (wide) Kodjia Not a bad team and much more balance. Only one player 30+ too. Edited January 20, 2017 by DK82 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
dounavilla Posted January 20, 2017 Share Posted January 20, 2017 I'm still hoping we get a good centre back in. If one of Baker or Chester get injured I fear Elphick will lose us goals. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Delphinho123 Posted January 20, 2017 Share Posted January 20, 2017 I'm not keen on the Rhodes deal at all. Spending £25m on two Scottish strikers who can't get in the Scotland team seems crazy. Bring in Hourihane, Lansbury and Bree. That young lad from Bury could also be worth a gamble at the prices being quoted but he will be one for the future (although he is probably better than Elphick already). 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Demitri_C Posted January 20, 2017 Share Posted January 20, 2017 I'd keep elphick until Summer then consider selling as after a bright start he has been pretty poor. Even his passion that we all loved at the start has disappeared Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
sne Posted January 20, 2017 Share Posted January 20, 2017 Rather we spent money on a LW so we don't have to play Ayew, Kodija, Grealish or McCormack out of position out wide. We need a striker during the AFCON, but £10m for a player who might not even be first choice in a few weeks is IMOway too much. Rhodes on loan, with option to by is OK, on a permanent I'd go for something else. Main thing still getting a midfield and a RB. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
VILLAMARV Posted January 20, 2017 Share Posted January 20, 2017 So his press conference this morning said he's hoping Lansbury will be training with them at 10:30. But he's there, done his medical and terms agreed with the player. "Close to 1 or 2 others" "Not close on Rhodes for example....tried wur best......looks as if it's not going to happen" "The boy Hourihane, we're waiting to hear back from Barnsley back today so we're led to believe so we hope we can announce something with that one pretty shortly too" faceache 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Though I think the delays might be due to them indeed wanting more up front! Fair deal if we have to pay £1m bonus to them if we are promoted within 2 years plus £1.5m now Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
