Saint 76er Posted 15 August, 2011 Share Posted 15 August, 2011 Apart from Patred's mate, did anyone else hear it? Just listened to Solent's 1.00pm news and no mention whatsoever of us or JRod. Only mentioned Ings transfer and a failed skates bid (lol) for Ledbitter of Ipswich. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Chez Posted 15 August, 2011 Share Posted 15 August, 2011 Just check J Rod league stats for this season, 5 shots all off target, 0 on target.........last season 2nd in table with 64 & 55 respectively with 18 goals Don't know what that tells us but thought I would mention it does headers not count, as he certainly had one of them on target on Saturday.

LostBoys Posted 15 August, 2011 Share Posted 15 August, 2011 Radio Solent are reporting Burnley have accepted our offer of £5.5m for Jay Rod..

Pilchards Posted 15 August, 2011 Share Posted 15 August, 2011 (edited) Gonna stick my head on the line here. Before the Oxy deal we agreed two deals with other clubs. The reason for the hold ups is because it's like buying a house I was told. Now If we have biddedfor Jay Rod then I expect it has been agreed already and that Burnley today signed Ings for a million, replacement? I have no idea but I know that Cortese will not play the stupid game of bidding for a player until it reaches a ridiculous amount. We have either enquired about Jay Rod weeks ago and moved on or the deal will be sealed in the next few days. You might of heard Burnley say no bids yet blah blah but it's a game they play so other teams will think they too don't have money to spend. I remember Daglish say last week that's it and then the next day they put a bid in for a Paddy. Manager mind games I'm afraid. As for the other bid I heard it was a Premiership player, could be Goryks who knows? Edited 15 August, 2011 by Pilchards Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It's funny really that the club did the deals before Oxy was sold as they knew the price would go up, we still have the money in the bank without the Oxy deal so a bid of 4-5 for Jay Rod is a possibility I'm sure. So those deals where are they? probably waiting for the other team to get replacements in. Burnley got one in today and QPR got one in Friday, maybe it's them?

Gonna stick my head on the line here.QUOTE: I have no idea but I know that Cortese will not play the stupid game of bidding for a player until it reaches a ridiculous amount. well in one respect (for once) ...the money is not a problem...but as we have lost out on Billy Sharp and Maynard, too we surely must get some sort of quality into the strike force. If we are willing to spend £4 mill...then 5 isn't so much more % -wise. I just hope that the decision is right and if the other two flunk out this season and Jay Rod .... comes and does well. Everyone will be happy..except Alpine and Dell days, I suppose Edited 15 August, 2011 by david in sweden Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
david in sweden Posted 15 August, 2011 Share Posted 15 August, 2011 a quick look at his stats. played approx 100 games scored 30 goals. Perhaps, I've studied this a bit too much but the "average /good " CCC striker scores at a rate around 0.3 goals per game so an end of season tally ...around 15 ....is fairly good. Players who average 0.5 /game are much fewer this equates with around 20+ goals per season. Jay Rod...has just celebrated his 22nd birthday, described as a striker / winger ... and is 6' 1" tall. (seems to fit the bill of an Adkins recruit - so far....) so it's only the fee we're talking about. Well for once the money is there... and the Chairman seems to be happy to invest it. When we get to" record-breaking level " £5 millon- then a million or so either way is nothing to argue about..(at least not for NC). Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

If Saints spend £5m plus on a striker as a Championship side, whoever it is (Maynard, Rodriguez etc etc) will be starting most games. Likewise Saints haven't spent £1.8m on a left back whilst in the Championship for him to be not playing. Fox will be the 1st choice left back.

Robbie Keane is 9 years older than Jay Rodriguez and Keane will have little sell on value compared to Rodriguez. This is reflected in the transfer values of both players. Plus Keane's wage will be huge in comparison to Saints' current wage structure. He is probably on £60k+ p/w. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

saintsmike25 Posted 15 August, 2011 Share Posted 15 August, 2011 Connolly is undroppable in this current form, however he is very injury prone and I doubt he will last a season in this league without breaking something or other, or getting knocks every two months.
