SaintRichmond Posted 31 May, 2012 Share Posted 31 May, 2012 Suzanne Geldard at the Lancashire Telegraph has said that despite rumours that Rodriguez is on the south coast, she doesn't believe it to be the case. Still understands he's still on holiday in Mexico. He's on the South Coast of Mexico Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
S-Clarke Posted 31 May, 2012 Share Posted 31 May, 2012 Just to bring this thread back to some kind of topic, I've been having a browse on Alan Nixon's twitter feed from today. Some quite revaling stuff. The jist of it is that we will have a decision tomorrow, one way or another. Other clubs are in the background but won't move until our deal falls through, as they know they cannot match the financial offer we've made to Burnley. Will be an interesting next 24 hours, and for what it's worth I don't believe Rodriguez is in Southampton. His agent will be doing all the talking, who is oddly, Ade Akinbyi Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

There is much, much bigger clubs than Aston Villa and West Brom about" Naturally he is talking about the top teams i.e Man Utd,Man City,Chelsea,Spurs,Arsenal,Liverpool etc as the "bigger teams".

Then say this is hopefully a cover for the REAL transfer activity? ...Those two points just dont add up. Youre suggesting that in your 2nd point jay rodriguez isnt good enough for us...

Villa are a fantastic club with great fans, but I never thought they were big enough for him. If Roberto is to go anywhere, it will be to one of the top clubs in Europe.'' So there you have it. Two different interviews with two different quotes. One saying they are "fantastic" and the other on talk sport radio saying that they are not big enough club for him to manage at. Which as I said above means he thinks Villa are not in the "Top bracket" of clubs in the league for him to manage at. Otherwise why would he mention that they are not big enough? The question then becomes what bracket are they? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Straight from Gatwick to Southampton to meet with agent and discuss the deal. He then says yes or no ready for medical to potentially take place next week. Seems Nixon was right then about a decision needing to be made by tomorrow.night. Gives time to arrange medical for early next week and sign on Monday/Tuesday. Sounds good to me!

He could be landing at Birmingham International, as there's a flight from Cancun landing tomorrow morning there too. If what @reluctantnicko said on twitter is true about the whole situation being resolved tomorrow, then I can't see him not being in the country to conclude the deal, so maybe he'll fly in, do the medical, sign and then fly back to Cancun...it's possible.

I expect his agent has already sorted out the deal with us and that we need JRod in for his medical and final signature before he can fly back to Mexico.

PaulGilchrist_76 Posted 1 June, 2012 Share Posted 1 June, 2012 Saints don't normally buy players at this time of the season. Usually, it is a last minute panicky thing. I reckon this deal was done at the start of last season. We probably agreed to buy him and then allowed Burnley to retain him for one last season on order for us to clinch the deal. I think we can be pretty sure he is joining us. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The player is away - half the football world is on holiday at the moment, which is why so few signings get done in late May or early June. As for Hooper, while I would like him to join, I suspect NA has given up on him. Hooper and his Dad (his agent) know full well we want him, have done so for months and have had plenty of chance to respond positively. They have not done so, so that one looks dead Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Just a feeling in my bones that he is waiting to see if there are other offers. Paul Lambert, who is an admirer of Rodriquez is about to have a few million to spend on restoring Villa's fortunes. Rodriquez knows this will be his biggest career decision, although he is on the other side of the Atlantic, he is not out of touch with what's going on.
