Spuds offer 14mil + Townsend for J. Rod.
Source: BBC

1.) This would be good business as we already have Shane "The Prolific" Long in our team and will have no problem with scoring goals without Jay Rod. . I don't THINK SO!!!

2.) Hopefully we have moved on from townsend. mane looks much more promising and would take the same kinda fee.

3.) Do the deal. what a great bit of business that would be. j rod still not fit no one sure how strong he will be when fit. done well for us last season. but not a great goal scorer. in my opinion misses a lot more than scores. pelle and long when played in correct position will be fantastic. Townsend with tadic will scare the hell out of most.

Sorry Smitty but you are SO wrong.
JayRod has the potential to be one of England's best strikers for years to come (if he comes back strong from his injury.)
I understand he smashes goals in from all angles in training, so suspect he will become a lot more prolific as he learns to manage in the EPL, and he is such a team player.
Townsend is selfish, and plays for his own headline, and is pretty injury prone. There are a lot better options available.

5.) With all due respect Francis benali used to bang goals in from anywhere in training.

6.) Good business IMO. Jrod done ok last year but didn't score enough for the positions he got in. Lots of pace but unless you play him as a striker he won't deliver in our current formation with wingers. don't get me wrong he is a good assett to saints, but when Townsend was on form last year he showed he has potential to be a lot better than jrod.

7.) I personally would cash in get Townsend and mane just for extra options. We never know what way j rod will go after this injury remember cisse and Torres had major injuries lost their pace never the same players but then u've got the ramsays that have had bad injuries n come back stronger but can we afford to turn down a Townsend plus 14 mill cash and he doesn't come back stronger I don't think we can

8.) I have to disagree - Townsend flatters to deceive and is injury prone - I'm much happier with Mane if he signs and keeping jrod

dantheman-I suspect you would want a player to show some loyalty and integrity towards the club but you seem to want us to discard a really talented player because he MAY not recover fully from his injury?!

I know what I would call that attitude, but the Eds. would not post it. The Saints are a family, if you don't buy into that you really should look elsewhere for a club to support.
