Lallana's Left Peg Posted 30 April, 2015 Posted 30 April, 2015 Looks like we've found Forster's cover
Ashby Saint Posted 30 April, 2015 Posted 30 April, 2015 When we got promoted I thought Jos was more likely to settle in Prem than Jose. How totally wrong was I? Jos struggled. Jose has become the heart and soul of the defence and should have made PFA team.
Lighthouse Posted 30 April, 2015 Posted 30 April, 2015 I said he was a liability in the Premier League (he was clearly useful in the promotion season), you've just admitted he wasn't a Premier League player. There is difference between not being PL standard and being a liability. Jos was good enough to be 4th choice here, he made the odd mistake but had some solid games too. I wouldn't want him starting 30 games a season but HCDAJ when others were injured. A liability is someone like Fox or Gazza, who you knew was capable of dropping the who team in the sh*t all by them-self.

At the age of 32 Hooiveld is playing for a team that has just been relegated to League One. There is a reason he isn't playing for the likes of Burnley or Leicester... he isn't good enough.
norwaysaint Posted 30 April, 2015 Posted 30 April, 2015 A lot of people seem keen to stick both Mane and JRod out on the wings, presumably just to try to fit them both in. Neither is really at his best on the wing, Mane in particular is a bit wasted there as he thrives on making runs through the centre onto through balls, which is also JRod's strength imo. We don't really have any proper wingers do we?

shurlock Posted 30 April, 2015 Posted 30 April, 2015 Rodriguez scored 15 Premier League goals from 33 games last season, whilst largely playing on the left, Lambert in the centre and Lallana on the right. Wingers tend to hug the touch line a lot more under RK than they did under MP where Jrod was effectively an inside forward and had greater flexibility to switch positions. When asked to play a more fixed role, he struggled. MLG, you're better than that.

eelpie Posted 30 April, 2015 Posted 30 April, 2015 I see Jay is training wearing what looks like a wig. Surely there are better wig styles than that.
beatlesaint Posted 30 April, 2015 Posted 30 April, 2015 Rodriguez scored 15 Premier League goals from 33 games last season, whilst largely playing on the left, Lambert in the centre and Lallana on the right. Rickie was rarely in the middle last season, certainly not in the centre forward role, he was always drifting out wide.
Matthew Le God Posted 30 April, 2015 Posted 30 April, 2015 Rickie was rarely in the middle last season, certainly not in the centre forward role, he was always drifting out wide. There was a lot of movement between the three of them but it wasn't Lambert's job to work with the fullbacks (Shaw/Clyne/Chambers) to defend on the wings, that was for Rodriguez and Lallana to do.
supersonic Posted 30 April, 2015 Posted 30 April, 2015 Now this is where the tough work starts - i'd snap a clubs hand off for £20m

Mutt Le Tiss Posted 1 May, 2015 Posted 1 May, 2015 Jay owes us at least one season, as we have been paying his wages/rehab fees for 14 months or so... in my opinion :-)
sydneysaint17 Posted 1 May, 2015 Posted 1 May, 2015 Personally would love to see Pelle, Mane and Jay Rod as a front 3 with Mane/JayRod playing as inverted wingers (if that's the correct term?). Would allow them to make runs off Pelle and still allow us to play with width when necessary as the full backs push forward. Thats my plan for football manager anyway..
S-Clarke Posted 4 May, 2015 Posted 4 May, 2015 http://www.express.co.uk/sport/football/574805/Southampton-Jay-Rodriguez-contract I thought we'd already offered one?
Matthew Le God Posted 6 May, 2015 Posted 6 May, 2015 (edited) I thought we'd already offered one? Its been "revised"... Amy Lewis @SkySportsAmy Sources: @SouthamptonFC are confident Jay Rodriguez will sign a new contract with them - he's been offered a revised 5 yr deal Edited 6 May, 2015 by Matthew Le God
SuperSAINT Posted 6 May, 2015 Posted 6 May, 2015 Its been "revised"... Amy Lewis @SkySportsAmy Sources: @SouthamptonFC are confident Jay Rodriguez will sign a new contract with them - he's been offered a revised 5 yr deal Just saw her little report on SSN. Promising -- lets just hope he signs it.
Snopper Posted 6 May, 2015 Posted 6 May, 2015 Just saw her little report on SSN. Promising -- lets just hope he signs it. Agreed. Something in me suggests that he might owe us some loyalty for looking after him and bringing him back to full fitness after his long absence. May be an old fashioned notion?
The9 Posted 6 May, 2015 Posted 6 May, 2015 Interesting re:"revised" deal, but then must be worth doing if he wasn't signing the last one, and if the rumours are true that's been on the table for nearly a year already. Not to mention that Saints might have decided to offer a bigger deal overall but with more being dependent on appearances to ensure value for money. Could also be the case that we've added some more realistic European incentives compared to this time last year...

Not to mention that Saints might have decided to offer a bigger deal overall but more dependent on appearances. Could also be the case that we've added some more realistic European incentives compared to this time last year... The club are contractually obliged to offer him a deal. That clause kicked in the moment he made 40 appearances for us. I am not sure if the last offer was made to meet that clause and then shelved because of the injury but then had to be reoffered because of the clause, or if this one is different.

I'm sure they could do it standing on their heads.
hypochondriac Posted 6 May, 2015 Posted 6 May, 2015 We've been confident about a lot of things but I've yet to see one of our big name players sign a new contract since Cortese left. JWP and Davis don't count since its debatable whether either of them could play at a higher level.

shurlock Posted 6 May, 2015 Posted 6 May, 2015 What about Fonte...doesn't he count ? I think that while he was impressing alot of saints fans last season, it is only this season that the media and the wider public have taken notice. When many of our players were being linked with 'big' clubs last summer, only relegated Cardiff were reported to be interested in Fonte.
simo Posted 6 May, 2015 Posted 6 May, 2015 I'm pretty sure the contract was put on the back burner until he proved his fitness to himself now that it looks like he's getting there and he's confident he can perform at the highest level they are back on again !

Saint Charlie Posted 7 May, 2015 Posted 7 May, 2015 Absolutely brilliant news if the club have managed to persuade Jay Rod to sign a new deal.

ToreSF Posted 12 May, 2015 Posted 12 May, 2015 Breaking - Sources: Jay Rodriguez has signed a new 4 year deal with Southampton keeping him at the club until 2019. @SkySportsNewsHQ
doggface Posted 12 May, 2015 Posted 12 May, 2015 As long as he is expected to make a full recovery, this is great news from the club and IMHO the best move for Jayrod's career. He is not ready for a move right now.
Dig Dig Posted 12 May, 2015 Posted 12 May, 2015 Great news if true, hopefully we'll see the Rodriguez we all knew prior to injury once more.
Matthew Le God Posted 12 May, 2015 Posted 12 May, 2015 4 year contract signed according to sky! Amy Lewis @SkySportsAmy 12m12 minutes ago Breaking - Sources: Jay Rodriguez has signed a new 4 year deal with Southampton keeping him at the club until 2019. @SkySportsNewsHQ Simon Peach @SimonPeach 10s10 seconds ago I can confirm @JayRodriguez9 has signed a deal at #SaintsFC, as first reported by @SkySportsAmy. Official announcement imminent.
LGTL Posted 12 May, 2015 Posted 12 May, 2015 Great news - be nice to see him for 10 mins of the City game.
JoeShmoe Posted 12 May, 2015 Posted 12 May, 2015 First 'signing' of the summer, in effect will be a new player for us next year and we've really missed him - hope he comes back the player he was that broke into the England team
ToreSF Posted 12 May, 2015 Posted 12 May, 2015 Probably not many clubs were interested in him, but still good news. Hopefully Clyne will follow.
S-Clarke Posted 12 May, 2015 Posted 12 May, 2015 Oh good, a bit of good news which has been needed! Hopefully this signals the start of a couple more contract signings....dare to dream?
Webby Posted 12 May, 2015 Posted 12 May, 2015 The club must be very confident that he'll be back to his normal self!
the saint in winchester Posted 12 May, 2015 Posted 12 May, 2015 Doesn't mean we can't sell him when we choose to do so and for market price. But does mean we aren't losing him on a free. Good news.
Sour Mash Posted 12 May, 2015 Posted 12 May, 2015 The club must be very confident that he'll be back to his normal self! Weren't we contractually bound to offer him one? Who knows, but fingers crossed he's back to last season's form, would be a great addition to the side.
igsey Posted 12 May, 2015 Posted 12 May, 2015 Confirmed by the club's official Twitter by way of a stupid cryptic Vine.
trousers Posted 12 May, 2015 Posted 12 May, 2015 Nice one. The type of player we've been missing the second half of the season....
doddisalegend Posted 12 May, 2015 Posted 12 May, 2015 Good news if he comes back the same player he was before his injury. Despite all the press stories I didn't really think he was going anywhere this summer to much of a risky signing for other clubs IMO until he gets some game time under his belt.
