There’s no pleasing some ‘Albion fans’, if Lionel Messi was in our team he’d be criticised if he didn’t score in every match!

I just don't think he gives the same commitment and desire as he clearly showed he can against Leeds in every game.

He is one of a few we'll get big money for, and in an ideal world imo we should take about £15m for him if (big if) it's offered because of his age etc.

With the proceeds we should consider getting the much pacier and younger Maupay in and a box to box mf, as I don't think Mozza is the answer there.

Not for one second do I believe that Jenkins will release funds in Jan unless they are generated by player sales.

Our only hope without sales is that LD and IP have some very cheap signings from abroad lined up and/or some more loans.


Brentford rejected a Championship record transfer bid in the summer and he is now top scorer in the division. He'll cost more than Jay.

I doubt it.  The trouble with J-Rod is, considering he's given quite a free, attacking role, he doesn't actually offer very much.  There's glimpses of a decent player but he's not lethal in front of goal, he's not setting others up an awful lot.  I think he can do better, or we can do better.

Yes, he's certainly not in the SKP mould, neither is he a traditional big man, or a dynamic Cyrille I struggle to think of what "type" of forward Jay is. (Bergkamp with less class???)

To me he seems to be more suited to being a midfielder with a few goals in him (Mozzaesque)

This season he has scored 9 in 18 which is a goal every other game...

Both a penalty and a 30 yard screamer count as one on the scoresheet, I don't see why so many are determined to discount them. His reliability from the spot has been very welcome, we've lacked that in recent years. They're not gimmes.

I was ready to write Jay off for the season after a couple of his performances actually cost us points (the back pass and open goal miss urrgghhh) but then we switched to a front three and he was superb against Leeds really driving at the defenders.   He then scored again against Ipswich, although missing a couple of other decent chances.

I'm often baffled as to how good he is.  Sometimes his work rate is very good and he does chase a lost cause.  He is cool on penalties and can take a sharp chance.  but he isn't a natural goal scorer and often seems poor in one on one situations. He's not got searing pace to play on the shoulder or trick to beat a player from out wide, nor is his hold up play fantastic but I have seen him play some lovely one touch link up with Gayle, Barnes and Phillips at times.

A few weeks ago I'd have taken a tenner and a bottle of whisky for him, but realistically you would think a pretty substantial sum would be required as he really is an integral part of a team currently challenging for promotion.....we'd probably miss him once he had gone!!

yeah, he's a bit of an enigma to me, he's not a goal machine and he doesn't lead the line, but he has good on the ball skills and I'm sure pro's would say "what he does off the ball" is great. Is he a prem league striker? I don't think so, but would he be a good component in a prem strikeforce?, probably.  A weird fish...

Brentford rejected a Championship record transfer bid in the summer and he is now top scorer in the division. He'll cost more than Jay.

When push comes to shove I think Brentford would take about £10m.

But, in an ideal world I'd like us to do what we used to do best and bring in hidden gems like Koren and Mulumbu like before.

The likes of Bristol City managed to find Diedu and before him Kodija and Brentford found Maupay. We need to up our game scouting wise to find these types of players again.

Well you can muck around with stats to prove any point.  I think he has played well in a sort of forward mid-field role.  He has worked hard and provided some valuable assists.

Full disclosure - I love the guy. I think he's shown some real class, determination and leadership recently. For me he's a class act.

It's true some of his goals have been pens, but look how many pens Shearer scored

Can you provide a link for this bid, because I cannot find anything, which would have had to be over £15m for a player who hadn't been around for long and certainly would not be classed as proven.

Brentford have a long history of functioning on accepting bids and then getting in replacements through their money ball system.

That is why they sold gray, tarkowski, jota,  Woods and hogan amongst others.

All were sold for under 10m.

Like it or not, his goals scored stat is flattered thanks to the pens he has scored. I'm not sure he's won a pen yet either?

Obviously, it's still goals but they ARE as close to a 'gimme' as you can get.

Nothing wrong with scoring penalties, remember the times we couldn't score them for fun?
It shows he is composed and confident which is needed for a striker.

I think he's done ok this season. Sometimes he ghosts out of games for too long, but other times he comes up with important goals. Regardless, I am happy with him so far.

well, if Rondon had missed that many gilt edge chances as JRod did tonight.................

He's a clever player in many ways but he is really struggling in front of goal at the moment

Ok it was a bad miss but those chances where you have to lunge forward at full stretch, there is a risk it catches the wrong part of your foot as you're not in total control of your body.
