Jay Rodriguez contract talks

[Wilf]

"Jay Rodriguez is hoping to be clearer on his future next week once talks have taken place over the 24-year-old’s contract. He has a renegotiation clause in his deal that is meant to kick in after 45 starts for the Saints and he is on 43.

 

Cortese had held talks with Rodriguez and his representatives, but that process will have to start again after Southampton’s home game against Arsenal."

 

 

Let's at least get this striker feeling settled and focused!

Get him on a nice long deal, has gone from being a good player off the bench to a really important part of the way we play.

[DuncanRG]

Yup, can't hurt.

 

Just read that Clyne's contract is out at the end of the season too. Could have sworn he signed a three year deal?

IMHO This is a good illustration as to what lies ahead

 

IF JRod signs another contract (long term), then that will be a massive pointer that the players think that Saints are still on the up and up

 

If he does NOT sign a new deal, then no one on here can have any doubt that the Leibherr future is NOT the progressive one that Markus gave us

Clyne will have done 2 years out of 4 this summer.

[skintsaint]

Sod waiting for 2 more games, offer the contract now.

Cork and Fonte -12 months left in June....

Would think we'll have a sort out in the summer regarding contracts once the club knows what they're doing at the top level. Ideally we'll get to Feb 1st with all our players still there (bar Osvaldo), and then have a chance to get the top level positions sorted, get the manager secured, and then the players will follow if the right contracts are offered.

"Renegotiation". Is that necessarily a good thing? Could that just mean him negotiating to get out of it?

Not really, might be an he can leave for XXXX£s clause if no new agreement can be reached though, perhaps somewhere akin to the sum we paid plus 15% or so. Agents get good deals for their clients these days and clubs are battered into submission if they want good players. You need a really tough negociator on your team if you don't want to get taken to the cleaners for what often turn out to be very mediocre players.

can't see any of the teams above us in the league needing him as a 1st team starter.

 

So why leave?

It didn't sound right to me. The Times have got it very wrong!

He'll be after competitive wages. He's worth far more as leading scorer for a top 10 Premier League team than he was as a young prospect from the Championship.

Jay's happy here and will be willing to sign a new deal. When we signed him he was around the region of our top Championship earners.

 

As DuncanRG says, he's going to want a more competitive wage now.

[Saint Charlie]

He has fully earned a new contract. Been a great signing.

[Fan The Flames]

Has this been triggered by a 'if NC leaves' clause.

[DuncanRG]

No. It's been triggered by his 45th start, which is fast approaching. Cortese started talks before he left.

[Delboy Dave]

What could jrod expect? 30grand a week?

[Mr X]

What could jrod expect? 30grand a week?

 

GR & DO are our top earners on 60k a week J rod could be well within his rights to command something closer to that figure as he has in effect contributed much more than either of those signings, whether the club would pay it is another thing!

[ottery st mary]

 

We all know he is ever improving

 

Sign him up ASAP....star player:)

 

Next year..... will be chased by many of the top sides here and abroad:)

[Saint Fan CaM]

This will be very interesting indeed - first test of resolve by the new Exec.

[Matty's Caddy]

He ain't that good ffs. In fact his finishing is p1ss poor. Two big chances today, awful finishes.

[WealdSaint]

I like JRod.

 

As far as I know (I'm most definatly NOT ITK) he is a good influence on the team.

 

Even on his off days he tries his heart out.

 

He has become a mutch better player under MoPo.

 

I would think if MoPo stays he will.

 

Which then brings us to will MoPo stay after June!
