Savage Henry Posted October 4, 2015 Share Posted October 4, 2015 Rhodes is absolutely not on anywhere near 60k a week at Blackburn He certainly is, hard as it is to believe. That figure came from the chief sports correspondent of the Herald. It came up in a recent Twitter discussion of Bristol City spending £9 million on Andre Gray. Hence they can't move him. That's not a criticism of Rhodes, it's a criticism of Blackburn. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Gordopolis Posted October 4, 2015 Share Posted October 4, 2015 Not sure if it's 60k but he is definitely on money somewhere close to it. 40k was the figure I've seen bandied about. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

That would only prevent him from moving if any potential suitor got as far as contract talks (and Rhodes himself rejected the terms). So far, Blackburn have never let it get past the bid stage.

Distant Doonhamer Posted October 4, 2015 Share Posted October 4, 2015 Two goals for Rhodes today, one from the penalty spot. But with fletcher notching his first goal for months today and Strachans fondness for him, don't think it will be enough for him to start on Thursday. The poles will be worried about him coming off the bench. Aye, shitting themselves. Yep I`d be pretty sure the Poland coach hasn`t been able to sleep since our squad was announced Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
F_T_Y Posted October 4, 2015 Author Share Posted October 4, 2015 For a goal every game i would think the Blackburn fans wouldn't be too concerned about what he gets paid. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

So far, Blackburn have never let it get past the bid stage. That's twice you've said that. It's not true. These links - usually sideways - don't come without the club offering him around. Any football writer you choose to follow says the same thing; Blackburn are hawking him but they can't get anyone to take his contract. The bids are solicited, they dint just come out of nowhere.

shawfield shed boy Posted October 4, 2015 Share Posted October 4, 2015 Play rhodes. He scores goals and we win matches.... But aye thats right. He doesnt fit GS system.. Mmm. Rule 1. Of management. Score goals. Win games .. ??! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Rhodes was desperate to talk to them (and potentially negotiate on his wages). Why would Blackburn prevent such talks from taking place if they had teed up the bid in the first place?

Because Blackburn's owners aren't necessarily on the level. The Boro thing was weird though. There'd be very little benefit in that for Rhodes, but it appeared he wanted to go. Obviously not that desperately though. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
grazza Posted October 5, 2015 Share Posted October 5, 2015 40k was the figure I've seen bandied about. To be fair if he is on 60K a week the take home after tax would be about 32k and add on goal and appearance bonuses then could be right enough. They did pay like 8 million for him probably when EPL teams were sniffing about so probably had to offer such a good wage and were confident of his resale value.

CM. Posted October 5, 2015 Share Posted October 5, 2015 Whatever wage he is on he has earned it in his time at Blackburn with his goal tally in which have been mediocre squads at best. Think his longest goal drought has been 5 games Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Gordopolis Posted October 5, 2015 Share Posted October 5, 2015 If he carries on with the scoring form and - probably more importantly - the all round play that has seen him getting rave reviews, then hopefully he'll make the step up in the next transfer window.

RobbieD Posted October 5, 2015 Share Posted October 5, 2015 I was surprised they took a lot less money for Gestede and let him go. Maybe they didn't want to deal with anyone in the Championship. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Lex Posted October 10, 2015 Share Posted October 10, 2015 Pulled out of the squad with a mystery 'injury'. Chances of him being available for Blackburn next weekend? High to certain. The Gibraltar game was the one he was picked for and one he would have got a chance in. What a pity. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The Gibraltar game was the one he was picked for and one he would have got a chance in. What a pity. Perhaps Strachan has already let the group know what the team will be against Gibraltar? Knowing they aren't starting I can't fathom any other reason why the likes of Rhodes, Griffiths and McArthur would withdraw. Unless of course as you said they might all have a "mystery" injury.

54_and_counting Posted October 10, 2015 Share Posted October 10, 2015 Yup. Suspect it might be a while before he gets another shot. Wouldn't call a meaningless game against Gibraltar "a shot" in all honesty Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
