Jordan Rhodes isnt too happy that Blackburn have rejected a £12m offer for him from Middlesbrough.
RHODES UNHAPPY WITH BLACKBURN
Blackburn striker Jordan Rhodes has spoken out over Middlesbrough’s interest in him.
According to Sky sources, Boro are willing to fork out £12m for the striker, but he told ESPN FC he is unhappy after hearing Blackburn rejected an offer.
“I am ambitious and have never hidden my desire to play at the highest level possible and that was one of the reasons why I left Huddersfield Town for Blackburn.
"When I left Huddersfield I felt the timing was right in the next stage of my career and, having seen Middlesbrough's performances last season in reaching the play-off final and their ambition this summer in terms of acquisitions, I would have liked to have been able to talk to them and I am unhappy at not being given that opportunity."
With Rudy Gestede being linked with Aston Villa today and Blackburn only signing two players thus far this Transfer Window they could be strugglers for next season
Well Rhodes shouldn't have signed such a long contract if he is going to cry at having to be at Blackburn.

These players want it all their own way.
It's also the cheek of playing the media in making these statements. As a fan, buying tickets and paying this guys wages I wouldn't be happy.
One wonders if he's trying to make his position untenable by getting the fans on the warpath.
Good luck to him, however if we need to get to the next level, we need better than him.
I agree with you entirely... but we are short of cover at both right mid and right back! Here was have one man who can cover both positions.. is relatively cheap and has proven he can do a job in both positions in the championship... He also knows the club and is well liked by the fans! I'd jump at that opportunity at this stage of preseason!

Always happy to sign a long term contract on more money until it looks like another club will pay them even more money and then they are 'unhappy' at not being allowed to progress their career.
I have no doubt that he is for sale it's just the price that has to be sorted out. I suspect that if the price rises to, say £17m, and Rhodes is asked to earn £5m less over the term of his contract that would make him happy would it not?

I'd take him back as cover down the right...
SWP signs for NYRB.
