Top of our priority list if we get promoted, purely due to his age and massive potential and talent.
 
No, no and no!

He asked for way to much back in the summer and was apparently laughed out of the building.

He is a big ego that we do not need at this club!

I've only ever heard good things about his character? Asking for a lot is a normal part of negotiation, anyone should know that, if he was "laughed out of the building" then we're extremely unprofessional - odds are this is a huge exaggeration through hearsay on Twitter.
 
If we go up, even if we don't, can only see us having 3 out and out strikers from the current squad at the start of next season (Lambert, Lee and Sharp). Don't see Rodriguez joining if we don't go up though, and even if he does, is he that much better than those 3? I am genuinely asking as I have seen very little of him.

I rate him higher than Sharp (and I do rate Sharp), and we've not seen enough of Lee to say for sure.
 
Burnley said last time that they never accepted a bid for Jay.

Saints offered about £4m-£5m and Burnley wanted £6.5m. As far as I am aware they never even got to the talking stage?

Sounds promising then, hes going into his last year of his contract aswell so could be bought reasonably cheaply, if he is looking to move
 
Yes PLEASE get him on board, then ship off Barnard and Forte (Barnard may still proof okay for Championship but i think if we went up it would be a step to far)
 
I'd take him, he's not as good as Lambert of course but he'd give us some of what we miss when Lambert is unavailable.

And he's not a bad player in his own right of course.
 
I'm sure he was not actually laughed out of the building. Anyway the way January went, I still think Nigel's no.1 target will be Hooper.
 
He was awful when he came to St Mary's his year.


We don't need a pacey striker.

We need a big strong forward as was proved when we played Blackpool at the weekend <doh>
