We want players with quality and experience but also young enough to change and fit in with our team. With a jigsaw you want pieces to fit, you don't just knock bits off and hammer them in.
If we have bid £5million for him then he will be here by sunday! Can't see them turning that down TBH
There's no way it's £5m guys, calm down. If we offered £4m for the two combined why would we raise that to £6.8m?? That's a very steep climb. And why would we spend £5m on Jay Rod when we could spend it on Maynard who is a better player?
Has anybody got twitter here so they could ask Fourth Official about the Maynard deal and if he heard anything about Jay Rod?
According to Rodriguez' wikipedia page hes already signed for Southampton for £5million... Im guessing this is people jumping the gun a little?
tweet from fourth official Southampton are progressing on a move to bring Jay Rodriguez to the club, Nicky Maynard is also a target, they want both players #Saintsfc
J-Rod is used as a winger on occasion so it would make sense to have both. Rodriguez could play on either side of the top when we play just one main striker or be a partner when we play two up.
We wouldn't have a problem scoring goals that's for sure! Veyr much doubt we will sign both, but think we will get one of them.
Surely it would have been more correct of him (or her) to tweet "either" rather than "both". Whilst we might be chasing both of them, we're surely only going to actually sign one of them? Makes perfect sense to chase both, just in case one brakes down for whatever reason - but like I say, we're not actually going to sign both of them surely? It would great yes, but not needed in the slightest. Would almost certainly spell the end of Barnard's career here is we did sign both. But I just don't see it. It'll be one at best, not both....surely?
