Always wondered with the link to Gary Mellor why we've never gone for Rodriguez before. Maybe we have but he's got a few active brain cells so stayed clear of us?!

Hopefully not to us they are all shit Jay Rodriguez & Ashley Barnes would go straight in our side & improve it however cant see either coming atm unless it was on loan They've probably played enough games now to get a league winners medal with Burnley, may as well join us and double it up with a play off winners medal

Maybe he's a bit mercenary but he wasn't half right about the ambition comment. Don't begrudge him any of it. He was but let's not pretend it was why he left. We could've had a team full of galacticos and been pushing for Europe and he'd have done the exact same thing. Is that a negative thing? They have a “career” that lasts 10-15 years. In that time, many also want to “live the lifestyle”. You go where the most money allows as long as you can believe it won’t damage future earning potential.

You would hope that if the Souttar deal goes right to the wire, we would have plans in place for deals to be done quickly if needed, is: agreed with any club prior, so could be progressed quickly if needed. Hasn't Neil already stated that going to the wire will not be occurring, and all interested parties have been forewarned?

It is, yes. He’s been very solid this season. Alex Neil loved him mind, I’d have thought he’d have been nailed on to sign for you lot in the summer when his contract runs out - prior to the injury. We’ve got such a young squad now, Baath & Wright are our only players who are at least 30 years of age who are available.

Interesting to see who Bristol City get as a replacement forward with some big £10m+ Semenyo money to fund it

Hasn't Neil already stated that going to the wire will not be occurring, and all interested parties have been forewarned? Bang! And that's one of the reasons I like AN. He's seen the crap we've recruited when rushing into a last-ditch replacement during a January window. Ain't nobody got time for that! Edit: Oh and with that kind of money, we'd be trying to make multiple buys which complicates it even further. Not sure there's enough pizza in the office to accommodate that.

Yeah he wanted a bigger wage, but if we were pushing Europe he'd have moved to a better side than West Ham. He may have got more money but there's no way our decline wasn't in his mind too. He left West Ham to play football in China, that was hardly about ambition? It's the same principle, it was about the money, no more, no less. Come on Rob it's the dream of every Austro-Serbian kid kicking a tennis ball up and down the mean streets of Vienna, to one day pull on the famous red of Shanghai SIPG!

Why not just say “West Ham are offering me a weekly wage that will allow me to live the kind of life my current pauper’s wage of £70,000 a week won’t?” He could’ve done that and he didn’t.

More bad news. I really rate this lad and had him down as someone we should bring in should we lose Harry. And to blimmin' Coventry as well! So on top of this, Hugill goes to Rotherham and Porteous probably going to Watford - three players who would have improved us instantly now out of reach.

They keep us waiting so long for an outfield player, that eventually we will accept the return of Berahino. 🥲

Not really relevant to the point your making but do you think he was worth the extra 30k and that in itself showed a lack of ambition?
