    The BBC understand that Burnley have accepted a bid from #saintsfc for striker Jay Rodriguez

    Even Solent have jumped on it! I can't contain my excitement, my FM save is coming true. :laugh:

    I think there is probably at least £2 million premium on that because he's English, but I am happy for us to spend that sort of money on a player if Adkins and Cortese are sure that he can do a job.

    Also our strike force is looking tasty for next season if he does sign.

    He's somewhat of an all-rounder. The ambition could be to have him on his own and a 3 man midfield when Rickie calls it a day.

    I don't think that will be upfront.. Surely there things like if he plays for england.. and appearances etc.

    £7m is what you expect for a player of his age and ability... keep in mind Connor Wickham was about £12m. We spent far less last season than we expected to so if the budget was carried over we're losing very little of our budget this season.

    Either way I'm just so excited, I love the guy, just hoping it doesn't hit a hitch!

    I think he has been very overpriced, However that is the price of English talent nowadays.

    We just cannot afford to go backwards like we previously did. So we have to tred carefully!

    £7 millions seems a lot for a player whom has a year left on their contract!

    Not worried about price as I'm not paying for it, except indirectly. I trust Nicola about money.

    I hope that is the case, If Nicola treats purchasing players in the same way that he sells them then I expect there are a few clauses in there rather than paying it all up front.

    YES! Rodriguez is a rare talent and I would love to see him at Saints no master how much he costs.

    Chappers was quite positive on OS, though of course it was recorded a while ago. Pleased to keep him, but hope it doesn't mean rest is rubbish too.
