Huddersfield assistant manager Glynn Snodin has revealed Jordan Rhodes' future will be resolved in the next few days.

The highly-rated 22-year-old striker has hit 40 goals this season attracting the attention of a host of Premier League sides including West Ham, Tottenham, Newcastle, Aston Villa and Fulham.

Bosses at the club have reportedly slapped an £8m price tag on Rhodes in an attempt to fend off potential suitors.

But after helping the Terriers gain promotion from League One to the Championship on Saturday afternoon, Snodin told talkSPORT that if Rhodes does decide to leave he will go with the club's best wishes.

"He has been fantastic. Hopefully over the next three, four or five days things should be getting sorted out with Jordan, his agent, the chairman and see where we go with that then.

"It will be down to the club what Jordan is looking for and what Jordan Rhodes wants to do as well.

"Whatever happens, if he is going to stay, fantastic, if he is going to leave then everybody is going to pat him on the back because what he has done for this club has been absolutely out of this world."

Fulham 'to increase offer' for Huddersfield striker Rhodes


27/05/2012


by Matt Barrett


Fulham are to increase their bid for Huddersfield striker Jordan Rhodes to £5m, according to The People.

It was claimed last week that Fulham had an offer of £3.5m for the Terriers star rejected.

The People also say that QPR are close to signing Fulham's out-of-contract forward Andy Johnson and that the Whites have clinched the signings of highly-rated Portuguese teenagers Filipie Cristo and Dinei from Setubal.

Meanwhile,  a number of newspapers report comments made by USA boss Jurgen Klinsmann, who suggests American star Clint Dempsey should leave Craven Cottage.

Klinsmann is quoted as saying: "If you play consistently at the highest level then offers will come in. I think everybody is aware of that. His goal is the right goal, – we have often discussed it.

"If he has the opportunity to go to a Champions League team, that's the crème de la crème of club soccer then you have to do that, with all the respect obviously to Fulham, as he often mentions.

"But you want to play in the biggest club competition in the world and that's the European Champions League and hopefully something will happen over the next couple of weeks.

"If it doesn't happen then he has to keep pounding away and knocking at the door."

£5m?! We can buy class striker, proven on high level, for that amount.

[Mr Fulham]

£5m?! We can buy class striker, proven on high level, for that amount.

and we will do that, too.

£5m?! We can buy class striker, proven on high level, for that amount.

and we will do that, too.

It would be good to bring in two strikers whoever goes or doesn't go. Clearly we have been in need of them in the last several seasons. Here is hoping.

Fulham ready to up Jordan Rhodes bid and the Hotline transfer gossip round-up


May 27 2012

FULHAM are ready to up their bid for HUDDERSFIELD hot-shot Jordan Rhodes to £5million.

Boss Martin Jol hoped to get away with £3.5m but wants to tie up the deal fast and had talks on the fee ahead of the Terriers' League One play-off final win at Wembley yesterday.

Fulham, meanwhile, have clinched the double signing of Portuguese youngsters Filipie Cristo and Dinei. The Under-17 pair, from SETUBAL, are considered huge prospects.

Fulham, Villa target Rhodes: My future in Huddersfield hands



Submitted by tribalfootball.com on Mon, 05/28/2012 - 10:13


Huddersfield striker Jordan Rhodes is unsure of his future at the Championship new boys.

Fulham, Aston Villa, Tottenham and Everton are all keen on the Scotland striker.

He said: "I've no idea if I am staying.

"That's for the people who run the club and, until told otherwise, I'm a Huddersfield Town player and will continue to give 100 per cent for the club."

[Bassey the warrior]

They must see something in him to be willing to pay that. That's silly money given his experience.

100% agree , I was a bit disappointed with him when I saw him on Saturday.

[bill taylors apprentice]

Regardless of how good he is, it will be a big boost if he comes to Fulham rather than the other clubs who have an interest in him.
I can't ever remember Fulham signing a highly regarded player who was also being chased by a number of so called bigger clubs as well ?

[os5889]

After the play off final issue I dont want him here.

[HatterDon]

After the play off final issue I dont want him here.

A few seasons back, I watched with joy as Jon Spector. who was then earning his money from West Ham, took an opposing winger apart. After much frustration, the opposing manager switched the winger to the other side of the pitch, and let his withdrawn forward run the left. Spector pretty much stuck the second guy into his back pocket as well.

Now this is an American defender who can't even get a regular start with the US national team, and who now makes his living at Birmingham City. With that resume for Spector, I suppose it's appropriate to dismiss the winger and the withdrawn forward as not good enough to ever play for us.

Their names were Christiano Renaldo and Wayne Rooney. Was Spector better than both? Than either? No way.

But, if you judge those two by that ONE match ... .

hi, new to the site.... hope in the future i dont make too much of a t*t of myself..

anyhow, i really hope no more than 3.5m is paid for Rhodes, i have seen him a few times this season and even when he has scored he hasnt looked world class or prem class. i have however seen many defensive mistakes for him to score....
at 3.5m possibly worth a punt but at the so called 8m claimed - hell no.

hope i have to eat my words if he does sign but just hoping they dont waste most of the cash on him

Technically he is very good, it his character and temperament I question. He did not take a penalty in the league 1 play off final until sudden death. Despite 40 goals and being the clubs talisman he didn't feel up to it.

He's going to love Wigan away in deepest darkest November,

[HatterDon]

Do we know it was his choice? I believe that the manager sets the rota on the practice field.

Besides, certainly when he took his penalty, there was a lot more at stake [ergo a lot more pressure], and he didn't bottle it.

Of course, Ronaldo is no longer in the Prem. Perhaps it was his poor performance against Spector that sent him packing.

Yes, the assistant manager confirmed it was his refusal before the shoot out on national radio
