    Burnley accept a £7m bid from Southampton for striker Jay Rodriguez, according to BBC Radio Lancashire. Rodriguez, 22, scored 21 goals for the Clarets last season and was named in the Championship team of the year by the Professional Footballers' Association last month.

    This was just announced on the BBC sports breaking news page.

    We've just signed Jay Rodriguez for 7 million. Looks a big gamble to me

    Jay Rod - £7m
    Premier League - £90m

    Means to an end I guess. Young, Enlgish talent comes at a premium an £7m is a lot less than we'd have to pay if he played for another PL club.

    Jay Rod played for Burnley in the PL. Not proven as such, but at least the experience idn't totally new to him.

    I don't think he made an appearance. He was loaned out to Barnsley at one point too.

    £7m for a newly promoted club is a lot of money, and I mean a lot!

    Not even QPR spent that on a single transfer fee last season. We spent just over £3m on Ryan Bennett from Peterborough in January, and I highly doubt we'll spend anywhere near £7m on a single transfer fee next season, even though its our second season in the Premier League.<ok>

    The Telegraph are mentioning it now too, but with the inclusion of the Chaplow bait which according to him seems a no no!

    This is one of the best sites I've found - out of contract players from all over the world. Only slight issue with it is just has the year contract ends (i.e Jay Rod's on there) but still - great site and I expect lots more rumours when people see it!

    Party Pooper! You're right tho, shouldn't count our chickens just yet - think most fans just want something to celebrate again. And this would be a rather large statement of intent!

    The Burnley board's been quiet for a week or so. We've got that in our back packet anyway if the move comes about and they come on a whinge.

    Can't remember the player but Sky stated we had a done deal for a player last season and that was untrue. The media feed off each other and then we gather the crumbs and create our own gateau. JRod is on his holidays in Barbados (I think) so let's hope that NC has sent the video.
