Les Reed actually said we had no offers for JRod...puzzling then that he included Jay with Morgan in his 'they shall not pass' speech. However, he could just have been responding to media rumours. I also don't remember hearing anything from Jay himself. Has anyone any clear proof that Jay is champing at the bit to leave? Not saying you are wrong, but would like to know where this talk comes from.
A return of JRod at last season's level would be fantastic...would scare the bejesus out of other sides...but if not, we are doing pretty well without him.
Well, this is the thing, isn't it. It's all very well to have oodles of invented media speculation. That's speculation, not fact, and should make not a jot of difference to reality. It's all very well to have people talk about what their ITK mate has heard, but it all crumbles slightly when an article appears that is obviously reporting from the official source. I know that people will speculate at the time when no news is forthcoming, but when we get a retrospective article setting it out as it was then all the confusing pieces can be put into the jigsaw.
As for putting Jay into the 'they shall not pass' category, I think it's only sensible that Reed point out that rival clubs shouldn't be getting bids sorted out because the general response will be don't bother, the answer is NO..!
Of course, like last season, there will be a rider to that, and it will be, unless you want to pay twice his worth to us.
