Udders January games

Plymouth and QPR at home and Blackburn away.
Two ways of looking at this - do they see how many points they are clear of the bottom 3 by the end of January or looking at those fixtures do they bring Rhodes back because those two home games are very winnable?

We should just bid anyway. 500k would be a good deal for both clubs. I reckon we could get another 2 1/2 years of goals out of him.

Sticking point will be wages. Big investment if we can't get those down to a manageable level.
Worth it if we consider it an investment in both his performances and the knowledge he can potentially pass on to some of the younger lads for development.
But we don't have all the information, we just know Hudders could put us over a barrel.

A true professional and someone you would want associated with the club going forward

Agree with this, no matter the wage cost. Rhodes is still as fit as a fiddle and would still score for us if we got into the championship played the right way.

You see some strikers going on to their late 30's banging goals in, like a Kevin Phillips.

He isn't someone who relies on pace and I think the last 3 or 4 years where he's been a bench warmer mostly will add to his longevity.

It's a complete no brainer.

He loves it here and clearly has his mojo back. His work rate was phenomenal yesterday considering he played 3 games in quick succession.

From June he's out of contract so on nothing.
Reported Rhodes is on 11k a week if he's willing to take half that or more give him a 2 & half year deal it's worth a lot of money.

who was the player jujst this weekend scored a hatrick late thirties round about my sons age. Could have been Darren Fletcher/
 
We need to be realistic & sensible on the Jordan Rhodes situation.
He will be 34 soon & out of contract with Uddersfield come the season end. No way should we be bidding any money for him.
If Uddersfield recall him so be it (he can’t play for anyone else anyway !).
I have no idea on amounts & figures but I imagine Rhodes is on in excess of £10k a week ? Of which I assume we are paying a significant chunk of said wage (?50%)? I cannot see us smashing our wage budget structure to take over his contract ? (If Huddersfield effectively passed him onto us).
In the summer I would be surprised if anyone was offering Rhodes more than a 1+1 year contract ?

Half a million!!!🤣🤣🤣🤣
It'd be a great deal for Huddersfield.
At this moment in time he's probably worth 200-300k max.

Firstly £500k is ludicrous for someone who is 33 and nearly 34 ( he is 34 on 5 February) Secondly, a two and a half year contract for someone who is nearly 34 would take him to nearly 37 - ridiculous and no way on this earth we will do either. At best it will be a nominal fee say £10k or £20k and a one year contract if we can get him.
 
Losing Rhodes might be a good thing. It might force Critchley into a formation change due to a lack of available strikers.

Knowing Critchley he will play another AMC - Carey and Dembele behind one striker.
 
Sadly, it’s not the model the club buy players for, they want young talent that can be improved and sold for profit.

That said, make an exception please.
 
Half a million for a player who is out of contract in four months time? If we had a very good chance of promotion then I would say it is worth it. Seeing we have a manager who hasn't got a clue how to set the team up away from home, I think promotion is not likely so I wouldn't pay all that money for Rhodes.

Change the manager for a tactically nous manager then I would have to think again

He’s out of contract in 5 months and has zero resale value due to his age.

I’d love to sign him up but thank fuck it’s not my money you lot are spending.

The half a million quoted in the original post has pangs of desperation as he isn't worth that at all.
You correctly pointed out he's out of contract at the end of the season but if a fee isn't paid for him now he could well go to a club that may only offer a 1+1 but will pay bigger wages.
The only way JR will be at Bloomfield Rd at the end of January imo, is if Huddersfield don't actually want him back, his agent has tried to broker a deal at Blackpool as Rhodes genuinely wants to stay or no interest comes in for him at other clubs.

He can if somebody wants to buy him,but correct,not on loan.According to reports he is on 11k a week, Blackpool pay a portion of his salary,with Huddersfield rounding it off to the 11k reported.

When he is out of contract his agent will get the best deal for him financially,other clubs will offer more wages,think only chance of getting him is to ask Huddersfield if they will sell now,even then there could be other clubs show a interest.

You’re probably right but how much would you be willing to pay for a player with no potential sell on value and who would struggle in the Championship?

It might be something like £100k and off their books now?

Other clubs will offer him more money.
Who?

He came to us for a reason he couldn't get a game in a poor Championship side and not a single team had any interest in him.

Despite his purple patch with us can you see a big queue for a 34 year old in summer me neither.

Jordan is looking at Lge1 now.

the club that will pay most wages,it could be us,it could be another Colby Bishop saga.Rhodes reportedly on £570k annually

I think he’s on just over £8K a week
Obviously we’re not paying all of that
 
Wonder if Jordan would've sooner been at the Etihad at 2pm on Sunday or the City Ground?!
