Rovers up bid for Huddersfield striker Jordan Rhodes
9:33am Friday 10th August 2012 in News
By Andy Cryer, Blackburn Rovers reporter
BLACKBURN Rovers have upped their bid for striker Jordan Rhodes as they look to test Huddersfield’s ‘not for sale’ stance to the limit.
Rovers received a written letter from the Terriers rejecting their last offer and telling them they were not not selling the player – but the club are ready to test Huddersfield’s resolve.
The Lancashire Telegraph understands Rhodes would be in favour of a move to Ewood Park – if the clubs can agree a price – but is unlikely to attempt to force a move through himself.
Rovers have other targets in mind, should their new and final offer be rejected, with Manchester City’s John Guidetti top of their secondary wish list.
The Ewood Park outfit though are confident their latest offer, which is understood to be in the region of £5million plus significant add ons, will tempt their Championship rivals into selling.
The deal would also include a substantial sell-on fee going to Huddersfield on whatever profit Rovers make on him in the future.
Rovers are ready to offer Rhodes, 22, a bumper five-year deal making him among the highest paid players in the Championship – including a promotion bonus and pay rise.
Meanwhile Rovers remain set to sign Galatasaray striker Colin Kazim-Richards on a season-long loan, and Sporting Lisbon midfield Diogo Rosado imminently.
Both players have agreed personal terms, with just the final bits of paperwork needed to be sorted before the deals are clinched.
Striker Nick Blackman is set for a six-month loan move to Sheffield United, in the wake of Jordan Slew moving to Oldham on a similar deal earlier this week.
Olympiacos are also understand to retain their interest in unwanted midfielder Radosav Petrovic and could be ready to launch a bid to land him on loan, with a view to a permanent move.
It is also understood that Rovers have received loan enquiries for Morten Gamst Pedersen over the past couple of weeks, but the Ewood outfit are looking for a £3million fee for his permanent transfer.
Rovers travel to Cork for their final pre-season friendly of the summer on Sunday hoping to have their final squad in place for the new season.
Kazim-Richards and Rosado should be in place to join the squad, with Rovers still hopeful Rhodes will be on board in time.

We cant be reliant on one of his many midfield players to play out of position at the back.
We need cover in all back positions.
Maybe we will score plenty but without the defence we are likely to concede plenty too!
I dont think the answers lie with Myles Anderson and Riberio ! Reports I have heard about them havent been good.

Lets turn these loans into transfers. If they are not wanted get rid, even at a reduced price it would be better just to get them off the wage bill. I think by 31st August the following will of been loaned or sold;
Robinson
Dann
Olsson
Petrovic
nZonzi
Pedersen
Blackman
Amine Linganzi
That will mean we will need at least 1CB and 1LB
I keep on banging on about it but we need DEFENDERS KEAN!!!!!!!!!!!!

Even if he did get Rhodes which is doubtful, could never trust him or his mates at Ewood to come up trumps - totally out of touch with the fans and out of his depth in any division as a Manager - the whole footballing world can see this yet the Venkys/Singh can't or rather dont want to so that he can line theirs and his pockets!!!

bburnrover wrote:yep, the lack of attention on getting some defenders in is worrying. it's creditable that we are still trying to get rhodes in, and if the new packages is anything like the LT are suggesting, i think huddersfield could well go for it.
Well that is exciting new the club seems keen on buying good players up front.I do agree with the philosophy that scoring goals will make the difference but I still fully believe that we require two decent defenders.The reason I want them to splash out on defenders is because Hanley.Dann,Olsson etc are just not good defenders and seem to panic when players run at them hopefully competition will ensure they start trying harder but last season the defence was a shambles and the right back position needs a proper player who can tackle.
if we were not to lose any of our defenders, we might just scrape through, but it's hard to see how we could cope with even one or two injuries. dann is hardly renowned for remaining injury free, olssen had to miss a chunk of last season, givet has a questionable health record... it doesn't inspire confidence.
and as you point out, there's only really givet in there who you would consider to be a reliable natural defender. hanley is also a classic old style defender, but his inexperience still shows.
having said all that, our defence will come under less pressure if we retain more posession and have a bit more organisation in midfield. so the new acquisitions in that area will definitely offset some of this defensive frailty.

If they persist with Kean then there is absolutely no hope for the club. The Venky woman is absolutely clueless about football (as is her husband), her brothers are just plain clueless and Kean is beyond help. I don't mind them p1ssing their own money away, but when it's Jack Walker's legacy they're p1ssing away then they deserve no respect or sympathy - particularly when they completely ignore ALL Rovers' supporters who want Kean out (along with his useless snide chum Hendry).

They should also ask Shebby what he thinks of Kean's record as a football manager.
.
Also ask him which out of work manager he most respects. This should give us an idea of how his particular brain works.

So I made him an honourary Lancastrian for the day. He was well made-up and promised never to eat Pontrefact cakes again. Eccles cakes from now on he said.

We could ask him -
1 - BRFC is owned by "venkys London" but who actually owns "venkys London" ?
or
2 - Why have Venkys recently refused to answer a list of questions given to them from the UK sports minister about who actually owns Venkys and other questions relating to possible criminal activity within the club in the last 18 months.
or
3 - How can he be expected to sack Steve Kean if Rovers start the season badly - Kean is WAY above SS in the company structure - has anyone ever known an employee of a company sack a company owner ?

bornindarwenliveinnoUsing a metaphor to get the point across, ask him 'if you boarded a plane and just before take off you were told the pilot was actually an air steward (trolly dolly) would he be ok with this and continue on the flight?'

He should answer no clearly. If he does, then point out that that is exactly what Venky's have done to our club. They have put a trolly dolly in command!!
Ask him, when they want to improve their chicken profits, do they head hunt the best director's around or do they employ the receptionist and hope for the best?

It is believed the people of Yorkshire actually fought with / supported the Lancastrians.
I don't know if that will make the lad from Sheffield feel much better though.

The War of the Roses didn't take place exclusively in Lancashire or Yorkshire as we now know them, they were fought for the right to the throne of England, all over England. The family names may have originated from the cities, but then again Matt Derbyshire wasn’t born in Derbyshire either.
Better stop now or I'll get cut down for going off topic. I've just got used to letting almost everything coming out of Ewood Park go over my head at the minute, remembering to take anything which may have an ounce of credibilty about it with a huge pinch of salt.

Huddersfield called it an insult; they would never consider any deal which included those two.
