Both are just coming back from 6 month injuries, so perhaps we are holding on as long as we can to make our checks on their fitness?
We also may be waiting on the sales of Lennon and Kaboul/Chiriches respectively.

I think you might be bending the truth to your own agenda there GB.....
Sturridge got 21 goals in 29 games in 2013-2014. 1 in 1.38 games
Rooney got 17 goals in 29 games that same season. 1 in 1.71 games
Rodriguez got 15 in 33. That is 1 in 2.2 games (which interestingly enough was a worse average than Adebayor's for us last season - 1 in 1.91).
Welbeck - yes you have a point there.... but didn't Arsenal only pay about £16 million for him with that being without the player having the question mark of the ACL injury?

Rodriguez wasn't playing in the centre though - he was LWF with Lambert CF. I appreciate Sturridge was playing around Suarez that year too.
got any comparative figures for players who play the same position as him? i appreciate GB named those players in his initial post but 15 in 33 seems a good (borderline great) return for a wide man

Luka Modric
True (although I don't think Rooney played as CF for most of that season either). From what I saw of Southampton Rodriguez may have played from the left, but it was quite a fluid formation and he certainly seemed to be freed from any defensive responsibility.
I wasn't disputing that he did well, just disputing your fanciful claim that he was the best English CF that season.

You really have a hard on for him don't you?

Hmmmm....you wonder if this will be the striker addition we will go for until the summer...potential risk with his ACL (will he be as fast as previosuly for example?) but at least he'll know Poch and his methods
Gutter Boy
Tim Sherwood
Why until the summer? This could be our long term solution - it seemed to be what Poch wanted last summer as his main forward target (i.e. not a January panic buy).
A medical should show if he's back to 100%.

Luka Modric
The one thing a medical will not show is whether the player's confidence has been affected after the serious injury.
If we can get him for about £12 million then it is probably worth the gamble.... but I fear Southampton will want a lot more.
Gutter Boy
Tim Sherwood
Maybe we can incorporate a new bit in the medical where he has to go for a hospital ball with Mason and Stambouli charging in?
I agree £12m is a fair price.

Luka Modric
Haha - I like it!.... Knowing our luck all three would come away injured!

Always a reason to delay it: let's make it 'his lack of fitness' this time around, and then see what we come up with this summer.
However....Saintsweb has a running thread on his injury situation, and the doom and gloom there hasn't really encouraged me. Rumors that he's still struggling to walk, that the setbacks might have endangered his career, etcetera. Hmm..

really with mitchell around perhaps we should be looking for a younger and injury free J Rod equivalent?
i don't like taking such risks, especially not us... most recently Sandro, a great player and a fan favourite still seems damaged in someway even though he has fully recovered. ditto kaboul, after a long term knee injury.

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").
