Norwich Bid for Rhodes

[QPR1976]

NO, staying put is the official line:

And at 14 million you can forget Rhodes.....I expect Wolfiwinkle and Fer to go.

I know it's only the Daily Wail, but yesterday they reported Hooper has told Norwich of his intention/wish to leave. No transfer request as yet, but sensibly run clubs (& Norwich are) tend to buy before they sell, so they don't overpay.

Staying up will be based on goals scored so to go into a prem season with three prem/top flight rookies i.e. Austin, Rhodes and Hooper would be madness

Austin and one of the two is fine all three not for me. Bobby should be kept for his experience but also think you need one other prem experienced stirker and a lump at that so we can switch it up when needed

I agree with you West - think we will dip into the championship for 1 striker but I'm sure Harry will be after experience too but Im struggling to think of a realistic player we could pick up or might be interested in.

Crouch and Zamora almost do the same thing. Happy to have Crouch as back-up If Zamora leaves.

The rumour was we had a bid for Rhodes accepted back in Jan and Beard pulled the plug, if true then I would expect HR to go back for him.

That will make it interesting now.

I'd heard we bid, but Blackburn turned us down as they wanted more.

Makes no sense for us to bid, then retract it once accepted.

That makes more sense, well an interest was expressed, we shall see.

Rhodes would be a top signing - especially if we brought in someone with a bit of prem nous too - like a crouchie type not saying def him. Maybe even a walters type.

... Beard should have been sacked. The fee would have been nothing compared to the reward of going up. Yes, we made it anyway, but it could have gone the other way.

We have been desperately naive in the market place since the new regime took over. According to TF lessons have been learned.

Charlie, Rhodes, Walters and Zamora. That would do me. Palace done well with ****** Chamak and Jerome, and the striker that scored the most for em was a lower league signing in Gayle. Just shows you.

Looks like Rhodes staying put or at least not joining Norwich. Hate the idea them both joining Norwich,because Grabban could be useful squad player might not be too upset to be Charlie's back up

[maidstone_hoop]

Could still nick rhodes just depends on what you offer I guess.

Plus we now have the advantage over them that we are a Premier League club.

Depends whether they are willing to pay more than us.

Money talks.
