Spurs will not bid for Rodriguez
2 min read
There is a lot of talk about the former Mauricio Pochettino managed Jay Rodriguez, being the possible subject of bids from Tottenham and Liverpool.
These stories only emanate because one short-sighted journalist writes a piece and the sheep regurgitate it. In just a few weeks in this window we have seen his newspaper price climb from £15 million ($22.49m - €19.80m) to £20 million ($29.98m - €26.40m) with Manchester City stories. We are supposed to fall for this nonsense are we, there are plenty of sheep out there who do.
The guy has been injured all season, he is recovering from a serious injury and it's possible that he may never be the player he was and let's face it he has only had one decent season. Clubs are not stupid, they don't just throw money around on huge gambles, they try to minimise the gamble side so throwing £15 million without even knowing what you are getting simply isn't going to happen.
He may return from his nine months out from injury this week, next week but look at a player like Younes Kaboul, forever getting further niggles and never finding any form. Who is the current financial climate, where transfer spending and wages are limited by Financial Fair Play regulations, is going to throw money at a guess.

Jay Rodriguez will be going nowhere this window, he may not even play for Southampton and if he does it will be to ease him back and see how he reacts to a little game time. In the summer he will be cheaper, he will have played some football presumably and his form, fitness can be assessed before a realistic bid, not one of these highly inflated Southampton suggestions. You'll note than there summer sales haven't exactly excelled at their new clubs have they. fair play to Southampton for getting those inflated fees but that doesn't mean Tottenham should pay them.
He has a contract until 2016 and is refusing to sign another knowing of interest from other clubs. With just one year left on his contract in the summer his transfer fee should be nearer the £11 million ($16.49m - €14.67m) transfermarkt have him valued at than the newspaper prices.
