Jay Rodriguez would be a perfectly sound signing IF he is being signed as a striker option and if we are going to back it up with another striker.

With only 4 working days left of the transfer window, I worry he might be our only one.

I hope this one goes through before the deadline, doesn't seem to be any rumours that it will though.

That's 12pm, no new players for the Boro game. If the board were trying to get a deal done late into the night as quoted elsewhere then they haven't managed it. Oh well.

I think the 'more free beer and caps' suggestion is probably closer to the mark......  :D

Anyone surprised?
Again we desperately needed a boost all round going into this must win game yet we are going with the same old same old.
I again wanted and expected us to get some quality in after the Majorca game then after the Palace game that bought us time and then definitely after last week.
Alas the Club has let the fans down and I dread to think what it will be like if we don't turn up offensively on Sunday!
Looks like last minute panics or crocs again as the Window slams shut and we face the harder games next month.
Cue the usual spin out of the club after we have failed.

Is it 12 today for a Saturday kick off or weekend kick offs in general?

How many players have we signed in the past where we say "if he recaptures his previous form he could be brilliant!"

Having played 12 games for Southampton last season I would suggest he is already rehabilitated, and needs games rather than fitness. I worry that this loan is going the same way as Pritchard, assuming he commits career suicide and actually signs for us.
No no, no no no no, no no no no, no no shots on target.......

Not that I'm saying it's the case - but the club wouldn't have to announce the signing of a player before 12, just the relevant parties have the documentation. I don't for a minute think we've signed anyone but because 12pm has passed doesn't mean what needs to be done hasn't. Doubt they sit there with a tweet ready to be sent as soon as the inks dry.

Really not filling us with much confidence !
And if we does well ?  Any view for a permanent signing or just helping Southampton in the long run ?

A couple of points:

Reporter says 3 major signings. . I thought it was 5 but I presume Jay is one of 5.

With regards Jay being a Croc,  to be fair Pulis says a couple of games before back to full sharpness - isn't that true of every player who is not in first xi? PoCo is fit but not match fit?

Sometimes Albion cannot win whatever they do.  If Jay is our other striker signing and not the sole striker signing it could be very shrewd business.

This was the deal we obviously worked on until 10:30 on Thursday but it was delayed by saints not signing their striker until Tuesday.
Nice one Cyrille, nice one son

One minute we are going to shell out £16m on a temperamental striker, but pull out because he is unfit to start, and then we borrow another clubs 3rd choice striker who is not fully fit....

Beats me TBH.......

It's quite logical.  Spending £16m on an unfit striker is a much bigger risk than taking an unfit striker on loan - no transfer fee at risk and so the transfer fee can still be used elsewhere

Why don't we just acquire a striker who's actually fit?

That's what we seem to be doing - not Sakho.  Rodriguez is very close to being fit. Is ok to start as 4th striker.  Southampton obviously thought so as he came off their bench last week. As a loan signing he's fine.

Let's get one thing straight Jay Rodriguez is fit might not be quite match fit but certainly fit enough to feature for Southampton, on the other hand Sakho isn't fit and doesn't have a date when he will be fit. Equally telling in world gone mad and £16m being Championship change (according to some on here) there is no apparent interest in him from elsewhere and trust me West Ham would dearly like to be shot of him.

Conclusion Rodriguez is the fitter of the two and more importantly bust a gut to make sure he was fit, I declare this a no contest.

I'm struggling to understand why he's not fit as he played 13 games last season and presumably has got a Southampton pre season behind him?
