Sheffield Wednesday opted against letting striker leave for Cardiff City and kept the striker as back up, in their fight to stay up.
Rhodes has scored just once in 17 games in all competitions this term and it was no surprise to see that he could have been on his way out of Wednesday.
Wednesday 3rd February 2021
Cardiff City failed in their pursuit to sign Jordan Rhodes from Sheffield Wednesday,the Welsh club offered to take over he remaining few months of Rhodes contract.
Mick McCarthy’s side were interested in bringing the experienced striker to Wales before the transfer deadline yesterday.
The Bluebirds had ‘explored a number of options’ to get a deal done for him but in the end nothing materialised.
Sheffield Wednesday ultimately opted against letting him leave and he will remain at Hillsborough until the end of the season at least.
He is out of contract at the end of the campaign and his long-term future with he Yorkshire side is up in the air at the moment.
Rhodes, who is 30 years old, has scored just once in 17 games in all competitions this term and it was no surprise to see that he could have been on his way out of Wednesday.
However, Neil Thompson’s side may have decided to keep him as more competition and depth for a big second half of the season as they look to avoid relegation to League One.
Rhodes has scored goals in the past at Huddersfield Town, Blackburn Rovers and Norwich City but his time at Sheffield Wednesday hasn’t really worked out.
Nevertheless, he could prove a lot of people wrong if he starts banging in the goals to claw them up the league table. They are in action tonight away to promotion chasing Bournemouth.

Can't blame them not wanting to release a striker at this crucial time of the season.
I mean any club letting a striker go would be questioned surely?

Indeed, what transfer “committee” would let their main back up striker leave without signing a replacement??
Certainly not one who have owned a club for 10 years and who should be experienced of dealing with transfer deadline dealings

Except if the striker wasn't first choice to play anyway and was pretty useless as cover for the first choice and was costing a hell of a lot of money in wages. Then taking finances into account it would seem like an entirely sensible decision.
