scotty Posted 7 August, 2011 Share Posted 7 August, 2011 Georgeweahscousin did an excellent overview of the Championship by interviewing a fan from each of the 24 clubs - read them all at http://georgeweahscousin.com. The Burnley fan comments specifically on Jay Rodriguez: "Who is your most important player? Hopefully all of them will be important but the stand out players are Chris McCann and Jay Rodriguez who have both come through the youth system at Burnley. McCann is fit again after almost two years out of the game and at his best is as good a central midfield player as you will find in the Championship. He’s been so badly missed and it will be like having a new signing. Rodriguez, despite the name, is a real case of local boy makes good. He’s just enjoyed his first season in the first team and has become a crucial member of the side. He ended the season as leading goalscorer and not many players in the entire Championship scored more goals than he did. HIs 15 didn’t include a penalty and he could well step up towards 20 goals this coming season. He made an England debut last season at under-21 level and has an exciting future in front of him." Thats interesting. Good spot. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Saint Fan CaM Posted 7 August, 2011 Share Posted 7 August, 2011 Jay R sounds like exactly the type of player we would go for - develop him for the future in the Prem like Cork. One other point not mentioned so far - this is more or less the same type of tactic NC/NA employed in L1 - pinch some key players from opposition teams. I'm starting to feel we're getting a bit serious about a push for the Prem this season if this comes off alongside a Gorrks deal. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Third Division South Days Posted 8 August, 2011 Share Posted 8 August, 2011 Only a newspaper reporting newspaper gossip, so no guarantees there's any truth in it, unfortunately. Surely the article is quoting Eddie Howe who states Southampton are interested but no official approach has been made. Suggests to me that some communication has gone on between the clubs.

SuperSAINT Posted 8 August, 2011 Share Posted 8 August, 2011 Rodriquez would be amazing. Top, Top player. Fox is a bit of an odd one....can he play left sided CB? or is he just a LB? Would make sense if he also played at CB i guess. Can recall the name, but never seen Rogriguez play - What kind of player is he? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
saintjay77 Posted 8 August, 2011 Share Posted 8 August, 2011 NA didn't bring in any of our current LBs so maybe he thinks he'd rather be rid of 2 or 3 of them and bring in his own man instead. We've been linked with left backs all summer - he was even trying out young Ben Reeves there in pre-season - so maybe this is an area he's unhappy with even if it does seem odd to us. My Forest supporting mate told me they've still got an interest in Harding (he's not ITK there so no idea how he knows this) so maybe he'll be one to go, if this is a goer. Sure I read Cork was best mates with Rodriguez on a Burnley forum, when the chase for his signature was still on, so maybe he's been putting in a good word for us? You could be right, think I am more worried due to the previous transfer activity in days gone by. We always seemed quite happy to bring people in for problem positions without shifting on those that were not good enough. If we bring in another left back and cant shift Harding, Dickson, Fish and Reeves our squad will look odd and no doubt there will be a few players not so happy on the bus.

Leicester are buying them all. After Jeffrey Schlupp scored a hattrick for them last night, they may have the answer in attack already within their ranks.

When you want to buy 'commodity X' from 'Company Y' express faux interest in 'commodity A' from 'company B' and play one off against the other to drive down the price. I can see this one coming down to a last minute deadline day deal, with Cortese holding the all the aces. Happy days. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

pap Posted 12 August, 2011 Share Posted 12 August, 2011 Jay Rod looks like a quality player, but I'd be a bit gutted for Burnley fans if we got him. I mean, he's a hometown kid; their pride and joy. That said, if it wasn't us, it'd be someone else. I'm starting to wonder whether Eddie Howe knew the Burnley exodus was coming at the point he took the job. If you are a football club looking to cut costs and get the best out of lower-paid players, Eddie would have the perfect CV after his achievements at Bournemouth.

Whereas Maynard probably hasn't had an increase in his PA, having been injured for too long, the researcher unable to justify any potential PA rise as a result.
