bannedfromHandV Posted January 8, 2020 Share Posted January 8, 2020 Rodriguez is a knob and he hates us so would be surprised to see him join. 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
useless Posted January 8, 2020 Share Posted January 8, 2020 Just looked at Rodriguez's stats and he's played in every one of Burnley's Premier league games this season. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
useless Posted January 8, 2020 Share Posted January 8, 2020 Doesn't seem like we're going to be making the kind of signings people were expecting, I wasn't expecting the likes of Bowen, Eze, Benrahma and so on, but thought we might be able to get in a few highly rated players on loan and maybe a couple of promising youngsters for relatively cheap. Still a few decent stop-gaps until the end of the season could be what keeps us in the division, then in the summer we can see about making some bigger signings and taking our squad to the next level. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

screwdriver Posted January 8, 2020 Share Posted January 8, 2020 Burnley is his home town club so I doubt he'd leave unless we blew him out the water. and anyway he's only just moved there. I would be very suprised if we pulled this one off. I've always rated him though. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I fear stop gaps will send us down and is a sign of past mentality... we need to improve our first team, not just fill gaps. Spending on quality to at least stay up is the better approach imo, I know FFP is an issue but relegation would be a massive blow.... got to keep the likes of Grealish, McGinn & Mings and build a strong side around them... Our big money striker is out for the rest of the season, we need a proper (if possible, better) replacement. That is the number 1 priority this window - we need a goalscorer more than anything. I know we’re struggling at the bottom of the league but we still have to show some ambition and not forget the calibre of owners that we have... 2 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

useless Posted January 8, 2020 Share Posted January 8, 2020 (edited) Rodriguez is another striker that likes to drop deep and bring others into play similar to Wesley, and Maupay at Brighton, seems that this is the kind of striker that Smith likes, so this link makes sense with that mind. Only problem with it though is if you're going to have a striker that's more about bringing in others into play rather than scoring himself you need goal scoring wingers or wide forwards for it to work, which we don't really have.

danceoftheshamen Posted January 8, 2020 Share Posted January 8, 2020 (edited) Shocking rumours so far it has to be said, aside from the Polish guy which was clearly BS. Many posters saying the media know nothing yet though they were very quick with the Drinkwater story in all fairness. As for the striker rumours surely it just has to be a proven Premier League striker in our situation? We can't be taking punts on players who've never played in the premier League or are in lower leagues surely? That would be one heck of a crazy risk unless they are genuinely World class which of course is never gonna happen anyhow.

Indigo Posted January 8, 2020 Share Posted January 8, 2020 The good thing I found about the summer transfer window ending just before the season starts is that you can largely ignore all of the shite that comes with it if you want to and just know about transfers when they actually happen. The January window makes me miss that luxury as it really is just an unavoidable amount of absolute tripe. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
