Thing is he'd be great behind the strikers (and he has played there, too). Good passer, great and receiving and holding possession, can score from distance/the edge of the box no problem and would create loads of space for the front two.
Interesting theories in trying to squeeze two new strikers into the squad. It will only be one striker for me and we're keeping our options open as to who we can get for the right price. We have competition for Maynard from Leicester which makes his price a little overblown Burnley will be desperate to keep hold of Jay Rod as think only Charlie Austin would be left as a fit striker Ebanks-Blake is the wild card Can't see two strikers signing at all and money spent on a centre back instead
Lancashire Telegraph have said that Saints have had a 4.5m offer rejected and that Burnley won't sell him for anything!! Thoughts??
http://www.burnleyfootballclub.com/page/LatestHeadlines/0,,10413~2417283,00.html That, to me, doesn't sound like a team in a place to reject every offer.
According to SSN Burnley are after Danny Ings, could this be a replacement for Jay Rod....the plot thickens..
And Saints have had a £4.5million bid rejected today reportedly. We could of upped our bid and Burnley said wait untill we find a replacement? It all fits!
latest @fourth_official tweet; Fourth_Official Fourth Official Danny Ings coming in could see Burnley letting Jay Rodriguez go to Southampton for a fee in excess of £5m #Saintsfc http://twitter.com/#!/fourth_official
I saw something the other day saying we want both would be Brilliant but the would require some serious Money in excess of £10mil
I don't think paying £1million for a 30year old really fits in with this Young and ambitious thing everyone is talking about, but for me I'm happy with whoever NA and NC want.
Agreed. But paying 1 million for an experienced defender who knows how to get out of this division is a small price to pay.
