Rodriguez looked great before his injuries; if we were to get that player we'd be very lucky. The only thing is, how many players come back the same after two years out? I can't say I hold much hope if I'm honest, even though I do remember a time when we had a bit of a reputation for being able to help players recover from chronic injuries. As other people have noted, Southampton are getting a very good deal with this one: if he gets back to full fitness then they get back a very good player, if he doesn't then they haven't wasted any of their own time trying. It somehow doesn't feel quite right to be helping out a rival in that way.
