Don’t you just love deadline day ? Wigan owner Dave Whelan described Crystal Palace’s bid for Callum McManaman as ‘insulting’ yesterday – despite having bid £4million for one Wilfried Zaha only last year.
“Well now he’s gone and bid £6million for Jordan Rhodes, yes, that’s the Jordan Rhodes that cost Blackburn Rovers £8.5million and signed a five-year deal last summer.
“Having scored 32 in 54 since, to estimate that the 23-year-old’s value would have declined by £2million Great British pounds might be a tad misguided.” Article courtesy of the daily miror.
There are other variables of course, not just the ballpark price.
He is on Blackburn’s payroll – can they afford to keep him?
Did they pay their £8.5 million upfront, or in instalments so they still owe a fair proportion?
Are we offering cash up front?
It may not be quite as simple as portrayed.
You also have to remember that DW didn’t make his fortune paying over the odds. His starting point is 6 – could go up.
Whelan wouldn’t waste his time if there was no chance, must be more to it, I’m sure I read that Blackburn haven’t finished paying for him & they need funds .
I think Whelan’s playing a game of chicken .
I think Whelan’s playing a game of chicken .I think the Venkys are more qualified at that than Whelan.
