I know this is early talk, but I saw this on Reddit:
Greg Stobart said that Jay Rod will only have 6 months remaining on his contract when it will be January.
So basically, (unless he renews his contract) Southampton can either sell him in January and get whatever small fee they can receive, or ask Jay Rod to stay with them for the whole season and then let him leave on free in the Summer.
It's kinda similar to Holtby's situation when we bought him.
And it kinda makes sense (excluding the injury issues) why we weren't so aggressive to get him.
This has Levy written all over it.

In that case I blame you and Tucker!
In January I expect the saga around Jay Rodriguez to add 450 pages to the thread alone. #prediction
The squad for the Premier League hasn't been announced yet, but it will contain of 23 players, with two of Khumalo, Ekotto and Ceballos not included, of the 23 players we have 6 homegrown players.
Yedlin may come in January and then we need to make a decision to sell/loan some of those 17.
Interestingly enough we could buy Schneiderlin and Rodriguez without having to remove any players in January due to them both being homegrown.

Was that the Bohemian Rhapsody thread?
That felt like 100 pages when I read back through after work the next day...

Only if you're desperate...besides we have too many non-HG players as it stands, unless we start writing off contracts and releasing players.
This is odd, every source I can find says Rodriguez' contract is until 2016, not 2015. Not sure where Stobart got that from.I know this is early talk, but I saw this on Reddit:

Jay Rodriguez agrees move from Burnley to Southampton in £6m deal | Football | theguardian.com
Signed a four year deal in summer of 2012. Unless it involves a break clause after three years or the fourth year is a player option or something, he still has 2 years to run.

Yeah that's what I thought too ... and people over at Reddit were asking the same question.
So far the general consensus over there seems to be that it indeed is something similar to the break clause after 3 years, as in it's the player's choice if he wants to add another year after the third.
I dunno, still seems sketchy. There have been many articles about Rodriguez being offered a new deal, and his refusal to sign it, and none mention a break clause or player option. Feel like Stobart just misspoke and he'll correct himself later.
Let's see JRod healthy and in something resembling last season's form before we get too hot and bothered about that as a big January move.
