Coldridge Posted 22 October, 2014 Share Posted 22 October, 2014 I don't know. If so, the club must feel like a right cuckold though, paying for his liposuction, implants and plastic surgery all in the knowledge that when it's done, he's going to bugger off to be with a richer, more successful man. That said, maybe other clubs will be wary of buying a poisoned chalice in the form of a member of Southampton's class of 2013-14. Secondly, even when he is back to full fitness he is going to face much more competition than last year for a place in the starting line-up. If he isn't even guaranteed a spot at little old Saints, will a bigger club be any more inviting? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

CylonKing Posted 23 October, 2014 Share Posted 23 October, 2014 Has Mr Rodriguez said that he want out of Southampton at any point? I don't believe I've heard that quote come from him or his agent at all? I did hear transfer speculation\rumour\paper talk in the summer that Tottenham wanted him, but that was all. I don't think that adds up to him wanting out of little old Southampton though? Unless someone ITK has previously posted something that I missed?

Goatboy Posted 23 October, 2014 Share Posted 23 October, 2014 Why would he want to take a backward step in his career? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Saint Charlie Posted 23 October, 2014 Share Posted 23 October, 2014 If he won't sign a new contract we are pretty much forced to sell him in the summer as surely won't want to lose a 15m plus asset for nothing. Should have sorted his contract out about this time last year. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Andy Durman Posted 23 October, 2014 Share Posted 23 October, 2014 I think Jay will be happy just to play football again at a premier league standard let alone for a top team. People need a reality check. This was a serious career threatening injury. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Miltonaggro Posted 23 October, 2014 Share Posted 23 October, 2014 After all we have done for him the least he can do is sign a 2 year extension, even if he wants a move (which i doubt he does) so we can get what he's worth. This. Hopefully a decent enough chap to give something back to the club, however it is 2014... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
buctootim Posted 23 October, 2014 Share Posted 23 October, 2014 Should have sorted his contract out about this time last year. So we could have paid him a shed load more money whilst he was out injured? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
September Saint Posted 23 October, 2014 Share Posted 23 October, 2014 He's not going to be transfer material until next summer, if at all. By which time who knows who'll be off. If there's one word to describe SFC it's resilient. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Saint Charlie Posted 23 October, 2014 Share Posted 23 October, 2014 So we could have paid him a shed load more money whilst he was out injured? He wasnt injured this time last year. To one of the above points, he may not have signed a new one this time last year either, but he was slightly less hyped then, despite being a big player for us. Similar scenario with Clyne, if you were his agent you would surely advise to get your head down, have a great season and come the summer Saints are under big pressure to sell if you won't sign, because we won't want to lose these guys on frees. Where possible you don't want to let good, young, English players who are attracting attention to run their contracts down to 18 months left. It rarely ends well.

Saint Charlie Posted 23 October, 2014 Share Posted 23 October, 2014 As usual you're worrying too much. The bulb I know are trying their best. Not worrying at all. Just stating the situation as I see it. Both are quality both will leave in the summer if they don't sign new contract. Club will have no choice but to sell. Hopefully both sign. Would be madness if we havent tried to get Clyne to extend his and we all know the club has tried with Jay. Nothing we can do (now) if they decide not to sign.

Saint Garrett Posted 23 October, 2014 Share Posted 23 October, 2014 I've never read anything saying he wants to leave...? Would fully expect him to sign a new contract personally. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

rudi7s Posted 23 October, 2014 Share Posted 23 October, 2014 Anyone else think Tadic and Mane are/will be better wingers than J-Rod? I love the guy and think he's been class for us, but it should be him and Pelle fighting for the main CF role imo. And given Pelle's extraordinary adaptation to the premier league, i think he'll struggle to get in the team. But as mentioned above, the injury shouldn't be underplayed, it will take him time to get back into things. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

If this is the case ( which I am sure it is ) then surely it is to his great advantage to have already signed a new contract ? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

JR was at his best as one of the front three, playing wide, but now when he occasionally played as the central striker in place of Rickie Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
CB Saint Posted 23 October, 2014 Share Posted 23 October, 2014 Come January Brenden Rogers will be desperate and will probably offer us £30m for him. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
