Jay Rodriguez looks set to be a Southampton Player by the weekend in a move from Burnley that will smash Saints transfer record set over a decade ago.
Its been 11 years since Saints paid out a record fee of four million pounds for Rory Delap from Derby County, but that could be finally overtaken with Jay Rodriguez on the verge of joining the club from Burnley, Saints supporters will be heartened by the signing which they hope will spell intent from the club for the coming season, whilst few Saints fans want to see money splashed out on overpriced over rated big money signings on silly wages, the same majority woul also acknowledge that decent money does needto be spent ifthe club are to compete next season and players like Rodiguez who fits the player profile for Nigel Adkins of young and hungry.
