Would Blackburn really accept say, 6M for Rhodes? I suppose you don't know til you try. I can't see it though surely they're discussing terms wit him over the summer to extend his contract? Once/If that happens you're looking at 8-10M
We don't need a Prem team yet, just a promotion capable team. If we could get Hooper for 5M on a 3 year deal I'd be quite happy with that. Definitely happier than signing Murphy for almost 6M!!!!
Appreciate the breakdown of Hoopers stats too btw MS
The Rhodes situation is interesting.
Blackburn cannot offer him a new contract on anywhere near his current terms. He has one year left & can leave for free next summer so they are desperate to sell. Other clubs know this so the smart move would be to agree a deal with Rhodes as a free agent for next summer & get him to play out his contract at Blackburn.
They have already sold Tom Cairney and are trying to sell Rhodes & Gestede while filling their team with ex OWLS, Spurr, BM10 & Coke.
The ultimate measure of a man is not where he stands in moments of comfort and convenience, but where he stands at times of challenge and controversy.
