Norwich are preparing a bid for Huddersfield's Jordan Rhodes. They have received offers for duo Simeon Jackson and James Vaughan.

10 Jul 2012 21:38:32
Fed up with all this Jordan Rhodes talk. We don't need to sell him and that's why the asking price is high. Also his family live in the same village as me (in Huddersfield) where he is settled. On top of that he's tied down with a long term contract.

If you don't want him, don't get him. I'd be happy for him to stay.

richard taundry refused to sign contract over wages afteer walsall not paying enough, he had intrest in bradford, reading and west ham - after walsall offering £14,500 a week he went with money instead of fame- also walsall have got a young player from telford fc on trial - liam rickinson

Could someone please explain how teams like wallsall and others in lower two divisions can pay one player £14500 per week? I didnt notice the huge gates last year at wallsall, or the likes of cheltenham luton and others, so how does it work bearing in mind that a wage cap exists in these divisions, based on average gate, or have I got that wrong?

What is it about Southampton and Reading being linked with this player and that player, what ever happened to clubs being careful with their cash because what is the point of signing a shed load of foreign mercernaries when they will have a relegation fight...

They are only rumours hardly any of the players linked with these clubs actually end up signing. I'm sure both clubs know that they will be favs to be relegated, obviously both teams would need to strengthen to try and avoid that.

With Saints - all business is behind closed doors and who and when they sign a player is when we all get to hear about it - its great to pipe dream though Egh? COYRs

What are you on about? It don't cost to be linked with players. It only costs when you sign the player with transfer fees and wages. Which Reading have spent £0 on transfer fees also foreign? Reading have signed one from abroad and the rest English.

any news on hereford united all seams quiet on the transfer front

All the rumours surrounding CAFC are a joke. We are not in a financial crisis as certain non-Charlton fans are implying. Think a certain degree of this can be put down to jealousy, clubs are seeing us doing well with good backing and don't like it. There is truth in a change of income, although it is not threatening to our future. Considering our main backer is anonymous, how can it be said he has pulled out?? Also, if finances were that tight, why have we just appointed a whole new academy set-up, including Jason Euell as a development coach?
Many more years of success to come out of these Addicks!

Fellow Watford fans on here seem to be a little puzzled as to our relationship with Udinese after the recent takeover by the Pozzos.

The rumours linking every Italian free agent/fringe player with us are completely out of keeping with the Pozzo's 'method'.

Expect Zola to be sent 4-5 young players from Udinese's reserves to plug gaps in the squad. After that there may be some players released before any actual signings are made. These signings are likely to be young unknowns from Central/South America and Eastern Europe - in keeping with the Pozzo's legendary scouting network. These signings will be playing for Watford until they prove themselves useful enough to be in Udinese's squad. We're a feeder club now, get used to it.

Ins (all season loans) are likely to be:

Neuton, a Brazilian Left Back
Joel Ekstrand, Swedish Centreback
Alin Bucuroiu, Romanian Goalkeeper

Desparate needs are a Striker and a winger to go opposite Murray. Looking at Udinese's current squad they have an embarassment of riches in these postitions. This could prove to be an interesting few weeks for the Hornets.

Info is from various news sources on the web.

About time you lot out there realised. If you want to buy Jordan Rhodes the bidding starts at 8 Million. Take it as a fact, our chairman is no MUG.He will only let Jordan go to a Prem club, Jordan himself has said the only championship side he will play for this season is HUDDERSFIELD TOWN. The Town fans are laughing there heads of at you lot coming out with silly 4, 5 million offers on the table being a done deal. The guy who said to put his money on rhodes to brighton for 4.5 Million, GET READY TO LOSE IT BUDDY,

You town fans really are deluded if you think your gonna get 8 million for a striker that is unproven at championship level keep dreaming mot?

Nobody is going to pay that much for him. The hefty price tag is just to put people off.
I expect him to stay where he is until January, and then teams might be interested, IF he has done well enough.
