Jay Rodriguez

[kaz Hirai]

,Massively underwhelmed when this a huge indication the manager is getting the players in he wants. That is so significant IMO.

Sorry, that just boggles my mind.

Mmm.
A manager getting who it wants doesn't equal great things.

Levy tried to get moutinho and Willian but they are much more difficult to do. He got redknapp his choice of gallas, Parker, crouch and adebayor. 4 players not too popular at the time. A spurs manager gettin the players he wants isn't unheard off its just avb came from Porto and his ex players were elite status types.

If tim sherwood was still in charge and got what he wanted, Ferdinand, caulker, the return of livermoore and selling off capoue, holtby, Sandro I feel your mind would boggle so much you may just slip into a coma mr pink

Just noticed tomorrow is his birthday... hoping levy will give him a contract as a gift!

 

[Kushal]

Oh man I'm so excited for the new season! Rodriguez borders Holtby level for me

Nah bruh, J-dawg ain't bang average innit?

Townsend to saints as part of any deal would be good with me.

Nope.

They'd have to be some canny buy back clause for me to be relaxed with that

 

[Arthur Hucksake]

People forget Rodriguez is also a striker and often played as such.

 

[LiamJM10]

Ignore the price, when you consider we will sell a midfielder to compensate his arrival, he'll only cost us 10-15m in theory. If that.

That's ignoring any possible loanees or makeweights we throw at them. I'd like to see Rose gone, Ceballos and Carroll on loan.

Are you saying Poch isn't human?

You crack me up! Last sentence contradicts first, second and third sentences are not mutually exclusive and everyone and their mum knows it.

I probably I didn't word it clearly enough for you AB. Anyway, here's what I wrote:

No chairman of a club with an offer for his player is simply going to accept it, unless the offer is as great as any other he can realistically imagine getting. Levy doesn't make those kinds of offers, he makes offers which he thinks will bring his club value for its money. There was no way Levy was going to make an offer Southampton couldn't refuse, and we wouldn't want him to either. Liverpool getting involved is immaterial to the calculation of a value for money offer for Rodriguez.

So if we put the first and second sentences together you get:

No chairman of a club with an offer for his player is simply going to accept it, unless the offer is as great as any other he can realistically imagine getting. Liverpool getting involved is immaterial to the calculation of a value for money offer for Rodriguez.

I think the confusion stems because in general language value can sometimes mean cost, however I was using it in a stricter sense... in this case then 'value' = true worth.

So put more clearly, our calculation of his true worth / value is not dependent on whether Liverpool want him or not. We have an idea that he's worth, for example, £8m, even if Liverpool come into the equation and they put in a bid for £9m, his value doesn't suddenly shoot up to above £8m. As I said his value is independent of the competition for his signature, even if obviously his price is not.

The whole point being that if we've bid £8m and that's what we think he's worth, but Southampton think they can get more than that, then they won't sell him to us, and if Liverpool or whoever bid more than us then they'll get him and we'd be correct to let them.

that has to be the worst goals&skills video song of all time

thanks though. that goal at :56 was extremely beautiful. having him as a threat to do that on the left, and lamela offering the same on the right would be massive.

cAN WE ALL POLITELY AGREE NOT TO KEEP CALLING HIM j-rOD? I hATE IT WITH AS MUCH VENGEANCE AS WHEN I FORGET I'VE GOT THE CAPS-LOCK ON HALF WAY THROUGH WRITING A REPLY!

Only if you stop shouting.

I am just not buying into the Jay Rod transfer. He's a good player but I would like to see if he can be back to his best before making a move. I also would like to see Chadli given a shot at Pochs rotating AM 3 before moving for Jay. Was never a doubt in my mind we would get him tho, Kono, Depay and AG were nothing but pipe dreams for LWF.

Or at least a cake....
