Would be daft to get rid of Jay just when he looks to be finding his old form. If we're getting rid of anyone it should be Long but with injuries as they are I'd hang on to everyone until summer.

He wants to go....this deal has been on the cards for a while.

 

Partly due to Puel and not getting game time.

This rotation system is upsetting many at the club.

The guy is a dinosaur. £10M relative to the fees banded about at the moment would be a ludicrously bad deal.

 

:lol:

 

We could buy three alan shearers with that.

No he doesn't. You're speaking absolute rubbish, as per usual.

Rondon is being chased for £28-30m by China

 

Ah well all these overpriced sales to China helps whittle down the trade gap I suppose. Tit for tat, they sell us plastic crap and we sell them plastic footballers.

According to Ian Dennis.....

 

"West Brom wanted a striker and a defender.

 

They were interested in Jay Rodriguez and I think the player would be keen.

 

He needs to get away but Southampton are insistent he would stay put."

 

Huh? Why? :S

I've always loved Jay as a player, but he's definitely lost something since his injury. He doesn't seem as mobile to me and looks a lot more leggy and certainly not as quick along the ground.

 

I think it's pretty clear he'll be going this window, hope he gets a club better than WBA though. Wonder if he could turn back up at Burnley.

Watch him leave, find form elsewhere and come back to haunt us.

 

Jay looks more than just a player out of form though, sad to say that injury has taken something away from him, he just looks immobile.

Jay Rod was most successful for Saints when he played on the left left side of the three in a 4-2-3-1 formation. That was the position that he also played in his one appearance for England. Since returning from injury he hasn't played there, but it would be good to see him tried in that role before the end of the season. I felt that it suits his attributes and running with the ball froma deeper position was one of his strengths.

 

I appreciate that he may no longer have the fitness levels to play there, but before we give up on him completely and flog him in the summer, it would be nice to try him in the role where he had so much success. Now that Saints play 4-2-3-1 he could be utilized there again. Unlikely to happen, but would be bad news if a new club succeeded by playing him in his best position because we didn't try it.

That was his best position, but Poch's system was really fluid. His starting position was left-wing but he would also interchange with the other players in attack so Sir Rickie would drop deep and Jay would bomb on into his position too.

Remember when poch first got here, he said he wanted Rodriguez to play a lot closer to lambert but from the left. It worked a treat for both players

 

Similar I guess to dele alli this season, playing a lot closer to Harry kane

I agree, although with such an intelligent player as Gabbiadini, such a style could be effective again. I still believe Jay Rod running from deeper positions was a strength that we miss as Puel always plays him as the main target.

Yeah. It worked really well as Rickie could both spot & play a lovely through-ball to Jay has he ran through from the wide-left position. I know we had some stinkers under Poch, but primarily I remember how fluid we were up top.

 

Matt Law at the Telegraph seemed to think Spurs might still be interested in Jay a few months ago.

The diamond we played earlier in the season would have been perfect for a fit Jay Rod.

 

As it is, though, it's hard to see him getting a run in the first team so probably best for everyone for him to move on if there is genuine interest.

Although academic now, JRod, Long, Tadic and Boufal should be having a long hard look at themselves and their stats for last season.

 

Agreed, with the slight exception that I'd afford Boufal some time to adjust, as we did Mane. Mane was far better in his second season; Boufal needs to be the same.

Jrod's mins per league goal is actually decent

You make it sound like we are ripping them off. 12 million is a fair price in this market.

 

Indeed, we paid 12 million for what turned out to be bit part players last summer.

In today's player market 12 million doesn't get you much.

He scored 5 league goals in the equivalent of 10 games.

 

Badly treated by Puel and dont blame him for wanting out

He was correctly treated by Puel as he was poor. He scored the luckiest goal against Sunderland and that stopped us selling him and getting in somebody sharper, as the fans were up in arms that we were going to sell him

If he had have scored his open goal against Inter Milan at the San Siro we'd have got through to the knockout's of the Europa League, id rather focus on that than the goals he scored against Sunderland, Middlesbrough and Bournemouth.
