Ings? Pretty close to J Rod in terms of origin and playing style, and he'll be available in the summer for the low low price of free (Levy: "that's my kind of price").
why not? at least will hit the ground running.
i just hope with the savings we go for a couple 40 mil pound players. instead of spreading it around 4 or 5.
Could potentially see Levy santioning a loan for the rest of the season. Weren't they in the EL this season though, so he'd be cup tied? If so would significantly reduce the benefit of bringing him in
Saints fans saying he's been behaving a bit oddly on Twitter and that he's been looking for an exit for a while now. I could see him going somewhere before the window shuts.
Would be hard to see his destination being the Lane, though. He's 27, has been injured for the best part of two years and doesn't look like the explosive, dangerous player he was before his injury. Plus, Poch has come out and said that he's happy with Janssen, so it would be an about-face to bring in another striker after making that statement - especially one like Rodriguez.
Him coming out a few weeks back saying something along the lines of Poch being the best coach he's ever worked with did seem like quite a "come and get me" plea. We'll see.
See, on the one hand they're signing Gabbiadini from Napoli, so it's feasible that Rodriguez would want to leave based on a fear of losing his spot there just as he needs playing time to rebuild his strength and confidence. But on the other hand, moving to us wouldn't help him much given that he'd be a backup to Kane at best. Plus, he'd be giving up a shot at a medal with Soton (in the League Cup), and Poch would have to go back on his publicly-declared faith in Janssen if the move was actually sanctioned. And that's saying nothing about Soton's reluctance to deal with us and Levy's presumable reluctance to the idea of being fleeced on deadline day.
I wouldn't be dismayed or anything if it happened, but it just wouldn't make much sense, is all.
